I guess if Sonic is also playing up, then something has changed in the new driver, is it the mod or the newer driver its self?

after running system restore. I did not install DtsX Ultra, the problem in sonic software was fixed.

@Fx7, noted, I have not yet seen this fault. Was the app downloaded from the store, or installed manually via a file?

probably the problem is that dts-x ultra is destabilizing the system. Sonic software was also affected by this. I've used apps from the AAF DCH Optimus Sound 6.0.9215.1 package. I also did not download it from the internet or update it from the app store.

ps: I have been installing and deleting these packages every day for the last 2 weeks. to adapt the sound features I want to my computer. maybe the problem was just me uninstalling the drivers and software too much..

hi guys
i have MSI H310m Gaming Plus with ALC887 sound card. i know my sound card is bad and its only supports generic drivers.
my purpose is only gaiming. so i have a few questions:
1) will the games sound improve if i install the moded driver? i mean what is difference between a generic realtek driver without any software and a moded driver with softwares? i already had H170 with ALC 1151 which was integrated with the creative sound blaster. i tested its options like vitrual 3d sound and radar mode etc but i didnt find any big improvement. radar mode just makes sounds and noises louder. when i turned off all enhancements i heard a much clearer sound and also i found the real streao is better than a vitrual 3d sound for me. After this tests, i came to the conclusion that the realtec driver without any software and ehancment is better for my personal taste.
im noob at audio stuffs so pls let me know if you disagree with my personal experiment in games. also what software with which settings do you use and recommend? any full guide?

2) as i said my purpose is only gaming so here is a very very important question, does a moded driver with bunch of software affect gaming performance? if yes, how much?
sry for my bad eng
thanks:love:

Hi guys i did an audio comparison between Dolby Atmos for Gaming, Dolby Access and Boom3D with a short video where dobly works with his echo. sry for the drops frame is problem of recorder




The echo effect can be controlled in Boom3D with the ambient option. The echo only appears when an application requires the use of dobly effects
I guess Boom3d is compatible with Dolby Atmos

And it also works with DTS:X, its one of my top suggestions. It uses passthrough mode, so it works with any FX and any device.
I almost built DTS:X in this way with VAC, however DTS only detects HDAUDIO devices for stereo.

You definitely used the wrong effects options. You need to use the "3rd Effects with Realtek Effects for Realtek UAD"! ;

I recommend (DAPv251-VLLDP120) in your case.

Bild_2021-08-23_190954.png


And also necessarily be sure that you change the default SKU at this point: from "<sku value="DolbyAtmos"/>" to --> "<sku value="DolbyAtmosSpeakerSystemForGaming"/>" in --->>> "C:\Windows\System32\dolbyaposvc\default.xml".

@root7hk
Then enter these settings in the "FX Configurator" for your analogue realtek audio output,
that should fix the problem;

Make sure that you add the corresponding keys for any audio applications that you currently have installed + want to use.
+ Also load the suitable registrys.

*Just use the options "import registry file".
+ "Load external config" but here open the .ini files in a text editor / notepad and add the additional keys in the FX configurator.

Is it normal that I don't get DTS Interactive? My motherboard, an Asus PRIME H410M-E, does support DTS output through S/PDIF. Maybe there's a setting I need to change?

NEW DCH DRIVERS RELEASED IN GITHUB
DCH DRIVER VERSION UPDATED TO 6.0.9219.1
MORE DETAILS IN GITHUB

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.

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.

ATTENTION: This driverpack isn't eligible for USB-based Realtek audio chips.

RECOMMENDATION:
Before installing this modified driver, be sure to remove any and all residues from previous Realtek audio drivers or even if there are residues from previous versions of my mods, if they persist. For this you will need the DriverStoreExplorer (by @lostindark). Remove any drivers whose vendor is "Realtek", "Dolby", "DTS", "Creative" or "Alan Finotty" in the Sound, Video and Game Controllers, Extensions, Software Components and Audio Processing Objects categories.

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

If Dolby Atmos again insists not to install, here are the packages for installation.

ENJOY!!!

Here it works like a wonder.
Hi Alan, could you help me? I have a problem that when I install AAF OPTIMUS it only installs the programs and doesn't install the drivers, is it because I uninstalled and installed it over and over again? I wanted to install this new version that came out the day before yesterday, and one more question, I was wondering why Dolby Atmos Digital and DTS Interactive don't go together in realtek's audio effects? they all go to analogue, I can only hear it through realtek's audio standard, sorry if I'm being stupid but it's because I don't know how to handle these things very well... do you have any social networks?

Oi Alan, poderia me ajudar? estou com um problema que quando eu instalo o AAF OPTIMUS ele só instala os programas e não imstala os drivers, será por quê eu desistalei e instalei várias e várias vezes? eu queria instalar essa nova versão que saiu anteontem, e mais uma pergunta, eu queria saber o porque que o Dolby Atmos Digital e o DTS Interactive não ficam juntos nos efeitos de áudio da realtek? eles vão tudo pro analógico, eu só consigo escutar pelo padrão de áudio da realtek, desculpa se estou sendo burro mas é pq eu n sei mexer muito bem nessas coisas ... você tem alguma rede social?

@root7hk, I have not tested D-Home Theatre on SPDIF, I just unlocked it (see here), no driver is required, but you do need the app (see here), and a receiver that supports it on SPDIF. *
@ingaos, Check the service is running, if its running then Alan may have changed the service.exe, which doesn't unlock 5.1 like it used to.

99% of OEM's don't support SPDIF at its current standard (125mpbs), only the old standard (3.1mpbs), because they live in a dungeon.

* After you select the formats in SPDIF, disable the device then re-enable, now it will unlock and show DHT.

Wow this is an amazing sound driver mod I installed it on my ROG Zephyrus S17(GX703)
Was missing sonic studio great to see i can use it once again plus a bunch of other goodies
Everything is working perfectly!

I had to disable some windows driver updates to get it working correctly and stop auto update of store apps

After all that no issues
Thanks so much for this fine release

UPDATE: Please disregard. I switched to and HDMI connection with a passthrough to my TV and everything works out of the box. If anyone else is having this problem with SPDIF and you can connect with HDMI instead, give it a shot.

Someone, please help me. I've been banging my head against this wall for 8 hours and idk what else to do.

I have an MSI x570 Gaming Edge WIFI mainboard. It has integrated Realtek ALC1220 audio with S/PDIF optical out. It outputs PCM stereo correctly using the standard Realtek drivers for Windows 10. My receiver is capable of decoding DD and DTS. I used an official, purchased copy DD-Live with my old X-Fi card and it worked fine with this receiver.
What I want to happen:
I want to hear surround sound from games and movies that contain it. I don't mind if stereo sources like music or stereo videos only play in stereo. I don't need enhancements like crystallizer or EQ. I don't use headphones at all.
What I tried:
I installed AAF DCH drivers with almost every combination of options. I tried the Realtek legacy window and the Realtek Console. For each of those, I tried the DDL/DTS encoders and each of the standalone encoders. Between each uninstall and install, I made sure that no driver residue existed by using Driver Explorer. I also restarted my computer each time.
What actually happens:
The only applicable audio device is S/PDIF with the name AAF Optimus. From the Supported Formats tab in audio settings, I can play the sample DTS and DD files. Those work! The display on my receiver shows whichever one I pick. There is no mirroring or bleed between channels. I know that encoded, discrete audio is capable of being directly output over S/PDIF. The same is true for VLC with S/PDIF Passthrough enabled.
BUT,
when I hop over to the Advanced Tab and select an output encoder, whichever I installed for this attempt, it doesn't work. The test button outputs stereo with no center channel. The FR and FL channels are mirrored onto the BR and BL speakers. My receiver shows that the content is DD or DTS. The same issue happens in games and media files with 5.1 channels. Realtek panel and SB Connect show a two speaker setup. There is no option to change to 2.1 or 5.1. My old X-Fi with DD-Live created another Speakers device that would output surround correctly over S/PDIF. I do not have that device with any of the various installs of AAF Optimus.

Sorry to be so long-winded. I just wanted to give as much info as possible. I don't know what else to do. I'm open to the idea that I don't know how surround is supposed to work in Windows 10. Maybe I need Atmos or DTS:X or audio objects or whatever. I have no idea what any of that is. I just want to play Cyberpunk and Netflix with surround sound. How can I get a basic 5.1 setup that works with games and my hardware? Thanks for your time.

@mmm83 Have you tried disable the 'enable audio enhancements' checkbox in the advanced tab of the driver properties? That's what did the trick for me for games (also posted a while back in this same thread). Might help or not, but give it a shot.
