Realtek Modded Audio Driver for Windows 10/11 - Only for HDAUDIO

[silentfury]

I tried disabling the audio enhancements, and still only got 2-channel, unfortunately. Thanks!

 

[Ferather]

That was the only fix that was known, oh dear. No problem.

@Alan Finotty

I have a suggestion, based on my reading of your .inf files, they are written as HDA. You can download my driver and remove DTS and add Dolby, this will the easiest way.
You mostly just want the .inf files in my drivers, its fully UAD and very easy to work with. This is up to you, its a free offer.

I dont support Dolby, I see it as inferior and its certainly not backward compatible.

FIXED.

Just tested it and confirmed. Thank you!

 

[GaZw]

Hi i have problem here, i try to install Nahimic and I get this error in my ALC887

EDIT: I try to update the version via windows store and same error but in spanish

 

[Ferather]

Alan needs to run through his .inf files, and likely update them. Keep sending feedback and give him some time.

@Alan Finotty, if anyone tells you SPDIF cant do DTS:X or TrueHD, its a lie. SPDIF can handle up to 125mbps.

 

[The End of my Wits]

Okay, what is this? I cant download this? Im expecting to click the link and it starts installing itself. Am I being naive? I mean I try and nothings happening.... how many packages need installed? Just the most recent, yes?
...okay, wheres the camera? Yall are fuckin with me huh?
I came on here to get The patched/modded drivers to make ALC1220-VB work with my GigByt B450Aorus pro wifi on my Windows 10pro 64-bit PC. you sent me the link but it doesn't download. I said please!

 

[Ferather]

It's because it's an untrusted .exe, various browsers may block it. https://easyupload.io/r1i0az

 

[StuDentBR]

ALC892. Why?

Btw, I have also bought Dolby Atmos legally from the MS store, so I guess no need for the cracked one.

I just want to have 5.1 audio in games that support surround audio, not plain stereo.

I remember this was the last version that doesn't have the 5.1 SPDIF bug: https://github.com/AlanFinotty/AAFDCHDriverMod/releases/tag/6.0.8996.2

Found a way to fix it or just got stuck with older driver?

I can't select dts or dolby, what should i do to fix it?

 

[GaZw]

hi guys i have a question, what do i need if i want to install dolby atmos for gaming ?

EDIT: I managed on my own, replaced some xml and installed another dolby.

it is really necessary for Alan to include these controls, the normal version does not have

 

[Ferather]

I would help but I dont do Dolby, sorry. Currently I am running lossless over Toslink (SPDIF), with my DTS:X driver.

I have given Alan permission to clone my driver and remove DTS, and add Dolby.

It's a good idea, I hope he does it, maybe he could include Boom3d is a very different sound but very good

Hi
If Alan may clone your Driver, so he can do a combined Solution, for self-decided Setup with all options: all Dolby & Realtek, all Dolby & all DTS & Realtek or only all DTS & Realtek to install, with some addable Enhancers like Nahimic, Creative...

Or you & Alan can put yourself together as the Ultimate DCH Modder-Crew! What about these Ideas?

 

[oytun]

Hello everyone. I have an issue, i cant setup AAFAudioPackDCH-6.0.9116.1 and others

any ideas or solutions thx, sorry my bad english

 

[Ferather]

@Metal-Tom​

You will probably get massive lag, huge delays and bugs galore, but maybe. I dont think its a good idea to pack in that many active APO's and software onto one device and-or driver.
I am yet to see an official manufacturer for example Gigabyte, pack in every APO and software possible, mostly due to the above, not costs, since you pay for it.

Edit: It could be possible to write an APO switcher app, that changes the SFX MFX and EFX, as you select an APO, rather than all running at once.
Similar to FX configurator or the Realtek APO tool, the Realtek APO tool literally has drop down selection, but its dated.

How did you manage to change Dolby Atmos to Dolby Atmos for Gaming?

 

[GaZw]

I put two version one is the Republic of Gamers and the other is Razer

both worked for me but I kept the first one

1- Install AAFAudioPackDCH

2- After restart uninstall Dolby Altmos

3- Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32\dolbyaposvc
and delete all files *.xml

EDIT: In the latest version 6.0.9129.1 the files to be deleted are in another location
"C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\004.hdx_allbrandext_dolbyfx_xml_append.inf_amd64_a2ba0883aa826914"

4-Copy all files from the folder "Files for Dolby" to the folder "dolbyaposvc" or in the last version "004.hdx_allbrandext_dolbyfx_xml_append.inf_amd64_a2ba0883aa826914"

5-Install Dolby for Gaming "Gapp.jan.2021"

6- use the "restart-dolby-api-service.bat"

7- Now search Dolby Atmos for Gaming in the apps and open

NEW DCH DRIVERS RELEASED IN GITHUB
DCH DRIVER VERSION UPDATED TO 6.0.9129.1
MORE DETAILS IN GITHUB

ATTENTION: You will need to uninstall the currently installed version before continuing with this installation. A condition has been imposed for this due to problems reported by some users.

WARNING: There is also an update for Nahimic on the Microsoft Store to version 1.5.4.0, but it is very likely that once installed, your enhancement will stop working.

Those who want only Realtek material, just choose the panel option (HDA or UAD), select your decoder and deselect the rest.

ENJOY!!!

Hello Alan,

first and foremost: thank you for making this driver!

I have a ROG Strix X570-E Gaming mainboard and I suppose it has some sort of ALC1220 chip on it. I also have an Onkyo TX-NR636B. I have connected both via toslink (S/PDIF / optical).

I have installed your latest driver (6.0.9129.1 I believe) along with the default configuration and I'm trying to get proper 5.1 sound via Digital Output going, but it just does not work.
The receiver recognizes Dolby Digital from what I gather, but in the properties of Digital S/PDIF Output I can only select 2 channels and "Dolby Digital Live (5.1 Surround)". Of course I have picked the latter, but no matter how I tincle with the settings from the Realtek Audio Console (enable DTS-connection, pick default format), I cannot seem to get real 5.1 surround sound.

In order to test, I used 5.1 (multi-channel) FLAC files, which are recognized by VLC as such and tried various settings there, too. I do not have games installed yet, that I could test with.

Do you have an idea of what to do?

I uninstalled all previous drivers and I did not have an error during set up - everything installed smoothly.

Edit: after disabling enhancements (as suggested in post https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...dio-driver-for-windows-10.250915/post-4479169 ) - it works now as expected for the demo file using VLC... even with DTS turned off.

 

[unknown_VS]

Hi, so I installed the driver, only the Realtek part (legacy, both encoders) but DTS doesn't seem to work in games and i can only choose 2.0 channel in windows settings, however when I do the built-in windows test for DTS and Dolby Digital that works, which is great progress, but still no ingame surround sound sadly. Any ideas how to fix this?

Motherboard is msi b350m mortar, receiver is Logitech z906 over optical cable.

Did you try the work around by disabling sound enhancements? See the one post before yours.

Yes, I did, but that didn't seem to change anything, the weird part is that the DTS test works, even though I can't select anything but 2 channel sound in windows audio settings and neither does it work in games, i think I saw the decode light going on once for a split second, but still no 5.1 sound, so I'm wondering if maybe just a setting is wrong or I'm missing something.

 

[divStar]

@unknown_VS : I disabled the enhancement and now I cannot even activate DTS, but at least Dolby Digital works and my receiver shows "Dolby D..." along with the proper icon on its display. I selected "Dolby Digital Live (5.1 Surround)", because it was the only option, which supposedly offers more than 2 channels. Due to me having disabled those enhancements, I cannot even turn on DTS - and you shouldn't be able to do so either if you really turned it off in the Sound-settings of your Realtek Digital Output (in the old traditional control panel (control.exe)).

 

[unknown_VS]

. I selected "Dolby Digital Live (5.1 Surround

Already said i can't select anything but 2.0

Due to me having disabled those enhancements, I cannot even turn on DTS

Well, I can, the problem is i can't select anything but 2.0, see above.

Realtek Digital Output (in the old traditional control panel (control.exe)).

Control panel... i never use this, I didn't think there's a difference, so you're saying that let's me select 5.1, I'll give it a go then!


edit: there's zero difference to using control panel, it's just more tedious to use than simply accessing the settings from desktop.

To summarize, I don't have 5.1 sound in games, the decoder light doesn't light up.
Dts and Dolby digital *tests* both *work*
Turning enhancements on or off does *nothing*

I really hope there's a fix , seems so close lol.
