Greetings! So, uhm, kinda new to this whole modded driver scene, where do I start? I got an msi z370-a pro m.2 and it obviously uses Realtek, currently using version 6.0.9102.1. Anything out there for my case?Having numerous problems with games, for example.. cutscenes in Witcher 3 have VERY low volume & speech and I heard that modded drivers fix some of these issues. Thanks!

thats an issue with you having 5.1 sound enabled while only using stereo speakers - the missing audio is coming out of a center speaker you don't have connected.


We dont need to clog this thread up with this common issue, but there is two ways this can happen and be fixxd

1. Single stereo plug to the green audio port, disable all audio enhancements, tweaks, programs whatever. stock stereo settings everywhere - everything will work

2. you have a 5.1 setup wired wrong, or you're using upmixing stuff via software thats breaking it (for example, settings that make stereo youtube sound work out your rear speakers are going to totally break genuine 5.1 sound)

You assumed quite a few things, none are right. I use stereo speakers with stereo, there's no other software in the equation other than the one of realtek itself. This is a game specific problem, no other game has this issue, enabling loudness equalisation fixes it somewhat but I hate it for other reasons. One fix a few people mentioned was modded realtek drivers hence why I'm here.

that is the cause of the issues with missing audio, every single time. the game thinks you have 5.1 and the audios being output to speakers that dont exist.

I Cant magically see how you wired it up, or what software settings you chose in realtek and windows - but thats where to go to fix it.

Ok, I can see what you're saying, but I exhausted every other possibility, and I'm no newbie with PC's, be it hardware or software related (but like I said I have never dabbled in modded drivers before). And you are right, but this only happens with cinematics in the game, nowhere else and ONLY in that game. It doesn't make much sense for modded drivers to fix this, yet.. it somehow did the trick for the people that had this issue, so maybe it's a realtek thing? It doesn't matter, still waiting for someone to point me towards the right direction as I'm kinda lost in this thread. Unless a question like that is also considered bloating, then I'll be on my merry way.

The other common realtek fault is to make sure its stereo, 16 bit 44Khz and no other setting as rare console ports have issues with other settings


This thread is a confusing mess as its user made, you'll have to read recent posts for links to working drivers - many devs have come and gone over the years, leaving work unfinished.

Already running at stereo & 16bit 44Khz, and thank you, I'll look around!

THX is more of a standard and certification, afaik there no such thing as a THX APO or app.

Yea they bought THX and put its name on their new product.... but good point I suppose. Certainly not the original THX. I have THX on my speakers as a symbol for certification.
Based on the app from Razor that means it has spatial enhancement, but ofc that is not the case given the differences (certificate, program).

What is THX? (cnet.com)

I've searched for it all over the web, @alanfox2000 had a MEGA.nz link that's down :/

Would anyone be able to mod the driver for the Cmedia CM6206-LX USB for Dolby Digital over SPDIF for games? All I get is PCM 2-Channel or bitstream DTS 5.1 or Dolby Digital 5.1.

Thanks

I just wanted to add that I have started to use your audio drivers. I have an ROG STRIX X370-F GAMING motherboard, it has Realtek. Ironically, sonic studio is not working for me, it says "The current system is not supported, or the audio driver has not been properly installed." - Besides that, it sounds amazing! I have 5.1 surround sound that I use. I no longer have to use the Mixer button when something is not 5.1, it seems to mix stereo into 5.1 pretty well! Thank you for this amazing driver!

Audio details from Asus's website

Code:
