@Hearick, When I install Alan's mod DTSAPO4 service works. - That's because it detected stereo, and the audio device most likely.
@emanresu, always scan files and so on, I believe that may be something to do with plugins, and information.

Even my Linux STB will connect to github because that's how the plugin gets information.

Go for open work, not hidden behind installers (same as official downloads).

----


Added my own modified profile (set of files), with better support for digital multichannel audio.
Added APO4 offload stream and offload mode effects to analogue interfaces.

The modified profile is not quite perfect, if you enable separate headphones please restart.

So what should I do ?
If It could work I would like to install your Windows Version....

Take AAF 6.0.9116.10 DTS, latest, read through the .inf file and add what's needed to Alans .inf files.

Download the 'Tools.exe' attachment and use the 'Inno tool' to extract the files from his installer.

====

Everyone else.

If the drivers and service are working for you, here is how you get DTS:X Ultra (hopefully). First make a restore point, or other backup.

Open the 'Profiles.7z' file inside the base driver package, then copy the content of 1 folder (not the folder) to:

C:\Windows\System32\DTS\PC\APO4x\

Once transferred, you will need to restart your computer (use 7z as admin if you cannot transfer).

Note: You may need to delete, change the files and then restart, to get better compatibility.

You can also try profiles from official drivers (inside their .zip).

----

To install the app from the store, open 'AAF 6.0.9116.10 DTS\APPS\UWP_Store', and right click then install 'dtsapo4xultrahsa.inf'.
The app should download automatically, if not then try the link from the Microsoft store page here.

For Headphones:X v1 (dtsoemapo3hpxhsa.inf), the same and the store is here.

----

To get Headphones:X v2 and DTS:X Decoder, download Sound Unbound, try it (14 days) then buy it (valid on 10 devices).

----

If you would like to to use DTS APO1 (analogue), then use 'RTK APO Tool' to edit the property page.

Drop down menu: DTS PS/UpcBt Page === {314162C7-6E2E-4C29-A5BE-D0BB553E2ECD}

1.png

Press 'Write', NOT 'Write as def' (else, you will need to remove driver), then restart.

Updates will be monthly, or when new releases are out.

[Bug Alert!]

Do NOT use the Realtek EQ and effects in the audio console when ultra is in use, it breaks multichannel digital detection for APO4. I will fix this next update, likely by removing the feature from the panel.

Potplayer test - Modes supported by Ultra effects, DirectSound, WASAPI shared. WASAPI exclusive appears to have a separate effect when in multichannel mode.

----

@Hearick

Inside InnoTemp after you follow the instructions I gave you (read Usage.txt), I believe the first folder is 'apps', just search the folder using Windows for *.inf.

I will first try to restore an older version of Windows via ISO and if it doesn't work, I'll mod it ;)

Thanks for all your time :)

No problem, when you learn you can do all sorts.

----

So, Ultra on, Digital multichannel, Potplayer + E-APO Stereo upmixer, and these files, make sure you sit in the middle......... super 3D from stereo, with defined rear (+2dB on rear with E-APO).

:rockout:

----

AAF 6.0.9116.12 DTS (Signed) Ultra Edition

Right click 'AAF DCH Optimus Sound' in 'Device Manager' and uninstall it, tick 'Delete' driver, dont restart.
Run 'Driver Store Explorer' (in Tools), and remove Alan Finotty, Ferather. Now restart.

I suggest you run a registry cleaner such as CCleaner or similar, before double clicking 'Install'.

  • Added support for third party EQ software, third party EQ and device (ALC) support may differ.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause a problem with SPDIF detection, all working now.
You can now make full use of the Realtek app and effects with Ultra enabled.

Hi Ferather,

I installed your modd driver as instructed. DTS HeadphoneX: 1 worked perfectly, however DTSX: Ultra is not correctly detecting the analog audio output. I am attaching the images to demonstrate.

Could you check it out please? Thanks.

Just did (AAF 6.0.9116.12 DTS) and its working for me, do you have speakers as an audio device? If you do try different profiles (see here).
If its headphones, enable separate device mode (has more options) and then restart your computer.

Tweak the audio detection settings to suit your headphones (front-rear).

Ignore the selection for digital, Its DTS(X)-DD-DDP or DTS Interactive.

Note: Modern SPDIF can carry up to 125 Mbps.

So I made a reinstall of Windows with 20H2 and AAF Realtek DCH Audio Driver - DTS 6.0.9116.10 with Ferather's profile work now :)

But the update (6.0.9116.12) doesn't detect my speakers (I'm talking of DTS X Ultra), so I will stay with thta version :)

Thanks for your hard work and time @Ferather

My notebook's HDMI interface is manufactured by Intel, not Realtek. Could this be a problem for the correct functioning of the driver?

Interesting, ok. I'll have to make two versions in that case because in DTS 6.0.9116.10 you will get a bug with SPDIF and the Realtek app with Ultra enabled. I guess this is device, or profile specific.

Thanks for your time and feedback.

:toast:

----

@Wakko000

I have not got a Realtek HDMI interface either and also, my HDMI and DP runs through my AMD GPU, but I do have an internal passthrough to GPU via Realtek ALC889 Gigabyte Edition.
Ultimately yes this is the problem, because the HDMI you are using is a 3rd party (separate) device from Realtek, like me. No passthrough feature?

In addition, I have not investigated any workarounds or interfaces via the Realtek drivers to link it to other drivers.

I believe it must work the same way. This old DjUrko / Alan Finote driver works.

I will take a look, thank you.

Edit: According to the files inside the Sound Unbound app, it supports HDMI and potentially other digital interfaces. Not sure if this applies or not.
Currently I don't have any audio devices the use HDMI other than stereo ones, so I will have to make betas, which will need testing.

----

Added 'Encoded Video.7z' to the main MediaFire folder, to test native playback on analogue and digital.

Encoded Video.png

Z906 on SPDIF: Everything except Dolby TrueHD (different format).
I can however decompress to analogue, or transcode via Potplayer.

----

@Hearick

I put 'AAF 6.0.9116.10 DTS' back into the main folder (previous versions are in the folder).

When you have time try the following with 'AAF 6.0.9116.12 DTS' (make restore first):

Follow the steps given in the download post, making sure you run CCleaner.
After install and restart run 'Device Remover' (see attachments).

You could also intentionally disable speakers and run the tool.
Restart, and see if you have speakers now. Thanks.

Try rebuild and restart your computer. Sometimes the registry can get stuck, hopefully this is the problem.

When I say restart computer I mean it, don't skip it, its Windows.

Oh well enjoy! Edit: I might have a fix, try the next update - which will be when there is new release from Realtek, Gigabyte, Alan Finotty (not yet).

----

@Everyone, remember to download 'Sound Unbound', try it and buy it! (you cant buy Ultra, unfortunately)
The driver uses all the major DTS systems to deliver best possible audio, even with Dolby.

Alan Finotty accepts donations (last time I checked), no I do not, I do accept physical gifts however.

Also credit to all those who helped, and those who prefer to remain hidden.

----

5.1 - 7.1 (+), with DTS:X Ultra on, the speakers tune you! - I suggest storing audio as DTS:X where possible.

----

Here are the general audio settings I use with Potplayer, I change from PCM to DTS-HD when needed.

@Ferather These people's are not getting it to work because the effects are not loaded in the effect chain. In the registry there are certain keys like {d04e05a6-594b-4fb6-a80d-01af5eed7d1d},13, 14, 15, 19, 20. These keys determine which effects are loaded for that particular audio interface. The guids of dts must be present in these keys for that to load. example of a dts guid is {07531B73-E4CA-4B94-9D0E-D3C9A7825FE5}. I guess you know what to do next. I told @emanresu about this but he/she is not able to piece together. Hopefully you will get it. Last time i checked the dts ultra is working fine on hdmi interface using intel driver.

@Ferather it has nothing to do with the profiles. the patched file will accept whatever lic file you threw at it.

It not that, its more to do with I have little interest in it (HDMI), with no direct test setup, I already looked over codes. I know it can be added in probably 10 minutes or less.

I don't know, I can install all the old versions and the new versions, never get issues, sorry m8, no idea, cant fix things that are not broken.
See the video at the bottom of my signature, you can see everything working, only problem was Mixer recording spatial.

No issues with analogue, analogue and Ultra, no issues with SPDIF, SPDIF and Ultra.

Will do this later-tomorrow, but based on stereo and DisplayPort, it will be a beta.

Ok, so to get third party drivers to work, you will need to add DTS to composite using FX Configurator, here I use the provided tool (but its not composite).

Stream: {07531B73-E4CA-4B94-9D0E-D3C9A7825FE5}
Mode: {FCDD3010-BB3F-4B24-8074-A18FC7D558F7}
Endpoint: {599C2638-CC15-4FFE-B16A-9246260D2DF7}

Ultra.png

====

AAF 6.0.9116.14 DTS (Signed) Ultra Edition

Removed APO1 from analogue stream effects due to lag caused, and no WASAPI support.
Enabled NeoPC (APO1) via the Realtek app (I still use E-APO).
Added some HDMI support, else see above.


More fixes later today!

I did exactly as mentioned in the instructions. DTS did not work. If you need any information about my notebook or other information, I am available to help. I can provide remote access if you need it. While we are unable to resolve it, I am going to go back to the latest version of the Alan Finote AAF DCH Optimus Sound 6.0.9116.1 (Signed) driver. Everything is working perfectly in this version.
