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

[pyuras]

Well I would need to know what extra APO's you where getting from Alans pack, to make the file, bit of work with exporting and sharing data.

I don't install any of them. Just the decoder (with DTS:X) and ASIO.

 

[Ferather]

Fair enough. Well enjoy! Edit: You can also edit the .xml preset file if you like (C:\Windows\System32\DTS\PC\APO4x\), copy the file, paste, edit, replace.
I like SFX "Any", "Any" for 5.1, use the 'replace all' feature, for stereo (and default) is "Any" "Stereo", but was issue prone previously.

By default I set the preset as "Off" "Off", due to past issues on stereo, possibly fixed now, now there's an optional for you.

The default for SPDIF-HDMI, multichannel, is the one given at the very top, External, Music.

If you replace the file, restart your computer for full effect.

Replacing all SFX to "Any" "Any" made the left and right front channels very quiet compared to center and made the rear speakers sound through the front speakers. So back to "Off" "Off" and it works correctly for 5.1 SPDIF.

@Ferather thank you for the response. Can you show what you mean by editing this xml or is there already a post / vid about it? i have a dts_apo4_oem_config_1025133B.xml and when searching for SFX i get the following

<chain_v2 position="SFX" input="Any" output="Stereo">
<process tech_id="DTS Eagle" instance_id="SFX" />
</chain_v2>
<chain_v2 position="OSFX" input="Off" output="Off">
<process tech_id="DTS Eagle" instance_id="OSFX" />
</chain_v2>
<chain_v2 position="MFX" input="Stereo" output="Stereo">
<process tech_id="DTS Eagle" instance_id="MFX"/>
</chain_v2>
<chain_v2 position="OMFX" input="Off" output="Off">
<process tech_id="DTS Eagle" instance_id="OMFX"/>
</chain_v2>
<chain_v2 position="EFX" input="Off" output="Off">
<process tech_id="DTS Eagle" instance_id="EFX"/>
</chain_v2>
<chain_v2 position="EFX51" input="5.1 Surround" output="5.1 Surround">
<process tech_id="DTS Helios" instance_id="EFX51"/>

the file looks huge with tons of duplication in it

I'm optical through to a z906

you also said "Is that with Interactive? Enable stereo mix, set it to play to the digital device (or default device), then mute it. This will make the encoder always on."
I'm unsure what or how you intend for that to work. In my Digital Output (SPDIF) properties default format is DTS Interactive. I do not see a stereo mix other than 2 channel 16 bit 48000hz etc. This device is set as default for the system playing directly to the z906

You gotta go to "Recording" devices, right click to "Show disable devices" and you'll see stereo mix. Follow the rest of his instructions.

@frollo, your preset edit looks correct, if you find it a bit complicated dont worry about it, I was mostly talking to pyuras.
Stereo mix is normally disabled, so you will need to right click and show disabled, then enable it.

The downside to this solution is that the computer won't go to sleep from inactivity anymore, you need to manually suspend it.

 

[Ferather]

Interesting, the speakers do, although I have disabled sleep in Windows.

Yeah, but Windows doesn't go to sleep anymore. Reverting makes it go back to sleep again from inactivity as expected.

Hi everyone! I have acer nitro with ALC255 with combined minijack, but I can't do anything with that unless 'headphones' and 'speaker', there must be at least five variants(line in, mic in, universal etc)View attachment 196806View attachment 196807View attachment 196808View attachment 196809


I just have used 'findpolicytext': 'combo' and choose 'global', 'universal' and, 'manual' combo in one of drvctrl and ombojack work perfectly

Hey, is it possible for you to share which exact one you changed, I am trying to do it my dell laptop and when i search combo a ton of different come in the search

@Alan Finotty - The latest driver does not show DTS Support on analog jacks on my Maximus VIII Ranger as on my system specs on the Realtek Control Panel. The last driver to work properly is the 9219 driver. I know you are busy but if you get some time, could you please look into it? Greatly appreciated for all your effort as always.

Open Realtek Audio Device Tweak located on the Desktop and make the following changes:

Check the DrvCtrl3 box.

Check the DrvCtrl40 box.

Ready. This should solve most known issues.

Thanks Alan. Just checked it. Unfortunately did not work. DTS Connect still not present on Realtek Audio Console.

Greetings, i have spent many hours trying tomake my 5.1 soundbar work (sony HT-S40R connected via optical cable) on my Asus Z390H motherboard with this realtek chip "ROG SupremeFX8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC S1220A".

So far, old method of patching realtek driver gives me 5.1 dolby option on settings, testing dolby format can make each individual speaker emit sound (except the subwoofer for some reason), soudbar reads dolby digital signal, but when i play anything on 5.1 dolby, it only works as 2ch, the old method removes the realtek console, and on the settings i cannot config how many speakers i have or anything like that.

Using the APO its kind of confusing with so many options, i have tested about 6 of them and only 1-2 activates 5.1 dolby on settings, but no way to config speaker setup, position, etc. And even when 5.1 is activated on settings the soundbar indicates LPCM signal. I followed the video guide but using other app, tried the same one my MB uses (asus sonar) but no 5.1, but kinda lost on what else to try.

What drivers/software can you use? for example my soundbar is only dolby digital, not dolby plus or atmos, are the ones here just software enhancers to simulate certain effects? i really dont care that much about the enhancers, first i need to have real 5.1 else i wasted money on that soundbar.

ill try these drivers next, but still i have little hope, i just want to have5.1 surround on games or movies/videos. I would even buy a sound card, even tho i dont seem to have space for it (large GPU mounted vertical wich covers all the back pci slots), but they are so unpopular that i cannot find any on my country, except maybe for one over $100.

My computer is a newer AMD motherboard and doesn't have advanced audio... it uses a simple Realtek ALC4050H and it's a UAD driver front and rear ports. The rear port is the one that's been causing me issues... it powers down after 10 seconds and takes 750 ms to power back up causing popping and 750ms of lost audio everytime. I've installed a Sound Blaster sound card as a fix and it uses a ALC1220 using a Realtek UAD driver for it. My feeling is the ALC4050H chip has some sort of power savings enabled causing my issues. I've used the Windows "Generic" USB Audio 2.0 and all the sound problems are solved... it doesn't power down at all... The Windows driver doesn't show up in the Realtek Audio Control limiting some of the funtions... like port recognition and front headphone muting of the rear port.
I've tried your driver for the Sound Blaster Card and it definately works, but I needed a UAD driver to keep the functionality of the system. It's obvious you have an advanced knowledge of these Realtek Drivers, perhaps you might have some insight how to correct this driver power down to D2 after 10 seconds. I've tried everything it seems, registry changes, power scheme settings, newer Realtek ALC4050H drivers from other OEMs, etc. All of the "newer" Realtek drivers from other vendors perform the same by going into D2 after 10 seconds.
Perhaps you might have a solution? Everything I've tried has failed, emailing Realtek, Lenovo customer support, registry changes... etc.

 

[THEBOSS619]

No popping or anything?

Not a single issue.

@THEBOSS619, there is more to it than just Alan, it seems Alan can only test so much (probably headphones), while he provides the time on the package, he is not the sole person making them work as such.

I know It's impossible to have this much of quality into a single person work... teamwork is a must to achieve perfect quality

Just a small note... (not an issue) the latest AAF DCH Optimus Sound 6.0.9279.1 show on device manager as version 6.0.9268.1 and I have checked the both files [.exe and .rar] being downloaded through GitHub but both shows inside the HDX.inf as version 6.0.9268.1 rather than version 6.0.9279.1. I will tag @Alan Finotty along also for this case.

Again... Thank you from all my heart

 

[Ferather]

Indeed. He just forgot to update a bit of text in the .inf for version, does not effect anything other than Windows checking version for updates.

Alan, this newest version and quite a few other older versions, when installed fully, I dont see an option for dolby digital, or DTS in Default Format under Sound. All I see is 2 speaker, 24 bit, xx Hz. 5.1 setup doesnt show up at all.

How do i fix this? Am using realtek ALC892 on the ASUS Z97-A motherboard.

I have a bit of a problem.
I installed this yesterday, and it worked.
Unknkown to me, something must've enabled the maxxAudio thing, and it made everything sound subpar.
I wasn't able to figure out the reason for the bad audio, so I uninstalled FAA drivers/audio pack thing, reasoning that is was the only recent change, so reverting it should give me back my old, decent audio.
The problem persisted, and I was able to narrow it down to the maxxAudio thing eventually.
I decided to give FAA a try again, but I can't install it anymore.
I've done my best to remove all traces of the standard realtek drivers.
I've tried the following:
1. remove it via settings>apps and features.
2. Remove it with driverStoreExplorer
3. Remove it via device manager (even enabled "show hidden device" to make sure there's nothing realtek there)
I tried rebooting before installing, but that just makes windows fetch the realtek drivers again and I have to remove them again.
I even downloaded ccleaner, against my best judgement, to see if there's any registry stuff related to realtek that I could remove.

But no, whenever I try to run the installer, I get the following error: "You already have another realtek product installed on your PC. It must be removed before proceeding with this installation."

 

[GNKyrios]

Tried installing different ways, no 5.1 activated on settings, most enhancers wont work, did clean isntalations each time
