Hey, first of all, thanks for this driver, it's working fine here with W11 and ALC887
But since i'm not able to install Realtek Audio console UWP (Even tried DDU but no luck), and the only reason for me to need that UWP is to make rear jack to being recognized as "Headphones" in that jack retasking feature, my question (noob i know) is:

Can this damage my headphones somehow? I'm thinking about the difference in voltage/energy going to the headphones since the motherboard thinks is a pair of speakers.

Thanks!

Got some of the APOs working on my gen 4 Lenovo X1 Carbon .
It has this annoyingly crappy combo of Intel HD GFX (HDMI/mini DisplayPort) and a Conexant based chip for the built in speakers/mic and headphone jack.
There's some sort of symbiotic link between the two chips that always causes issues...
My laptop is permanently connected to a TV for the most part hence I'm using the mDisplayPort, yet often audio stops working and I need to restart the audio service to get it running again.
Disabling the Conextant bits in device manager actually makes things even worse (no BIOS switch unfortunately).
I even tried stripping down the Conextant drivers right down to the MS HDAUDIO base which improved stability just a bit but not a permanent fix.
In any case, what I wanted to report in relation to Optimus' impressive driver set is that although the installer correctly matches the appropriate drivers to the respective chips I've found that multichannel audio appears to be incorrectly mapped within the intel driver. When running a 5.1 test via my Yamaha receiver the output is all messed up in a weird way...
Hard to explain exactly but my side speakers play on the front but lower in volume and 'distant' sounding like they get processed by reverb.
The front pair lean towards the right volume wise and the sub sounds muffled too.
No sound processing was applied during the test I should note.
And with the official Intel drivers I never encountered this issue.
For reference the below are the Conexant hardware IDs:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5111&SUBSYS_17AA2238&REV_1001
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5111&SUBSYS_17AA2238

And the Intel's:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8086&DEV_2809&SUBSYS_80860101&REV_1000
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8086&DEV_2809&SUBSYS_80860101

Thanks for putting in all this effort into something so challenging in achieving universal compatibility!

thanks for the latest version. in future releases can you add support/detection for these HD audio device IDs?

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_1013 ;; Cirrus Logic
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_11D4 ;; Analog Devices (ADI/SoundMAX - this one was before Conexant acquired them)

Make sure you have removed any previously installed drivers. Also check that the driver has been installed correctly and that the selected features are properly present in Device Manager.

Which one is better? Dolby Atmos or Creative Sound Blaster? I can really hear Dolby Digital Plus content using this cracked version? And what is the difference between the 3 programs inside each category? They have the same effects? Im just using headphones btw.

Greetings to all sound enthusiasts, who want to have a better audio experience on their PCs but don't want to spend a lot on physical upgrades.
I present to you the AAF DCH Optimus Sound.

Now in a different way!!

This version is based on the generic Microsoft HD Audio Kernel Driver (HdAudio.sys), the one that is already built into Windows. This allows this package to be used on ALL audio chips that are capable of working with the generic driver - regardless of brand.
...

Dear Mr Alan @AAF Optimus, (wow I actually aloud to post).

Firstly of course, I can finally thank send many moons of appreciation for you dedication of hard work. I will try out this new set.

Over the past three years I've been following and using on and off this driver bundle, been through many tears. Have had sound like working at times and second guessing myself. Eventually figured out Tweak software, which at the moment doesn't seem to be working or used anymore...

Long story, is I just want thank you again and might be back for support. I'm on ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DU laptop, which natively supports some custom DTS. I might come edit this post with more information after my AAF Optimus restart

EDIT 2:

After another restart and registry tweak, I do see these Windows 11 settings page:

And on each have the same options except HDMI has Stereo also at Spatial Sound:

Whether they work I don't know yet. But on the topic of that HDM, firstly I thought AMD is running the show unless it is just a layer before the NVIDIA? Secondly, I've been told it's not really possible this HDMI but it could just have been in reference to my LG screen, HDMI connection but using it's 3.5 audio jack would result in lesser quality - is this true?

@wilburman
From the screenshots, you will need to uninstall all remaining Realtek content present on your computer, otherwise you will not be able to install the mod on the Realtek chip, because this remaining material may interfere with the mod's functioning. You even installed the mod, but only on your NVIDIA graphics card's audio. I recommend you to use DriverStoreExplorer (by @lostindark)

Hi Alan, thanks as well as the speedy reply. I actually do use DriverStoreExplorer and DevMan as well as RevoUn and some custom command line scripts. I did find the NVIDIA situation a little strange, but now remember something about all the audio devices with AAF had yellow exclamation mark triangle icons. Either way, I will try again maybe did something wrong and will document if I run into that problem agian.

 

[GingerMarc]

I did exactly as described, but I am experiencing audio test failures.

@AudiophiIe Perhaps, in my case, something has gone unnoticed.

Hello One Question
Can you Update DTS Soundunbound? this have a Update

And you have in AAF Driver the Version from 2020

Or it the last Driver? can you help me

 

[gabsvm]

Hi Alan, thanks for the great mods! I have a doubt, hope you can clear it for me. Im loving Creative Sounblaster apps and Dolby Atmos. Are my favorite at the moment. I notice in soundblaster i can toggle between speakers and headphones in the app. The sound quality is a lot better with my headphones, i dont posses any speaker. In dolby atmos there are 3 different apps. I installed the basic one and notice the toggle for headphones/speakers is grayed out. Im that case, is already in headphones mode? Is the right app for headphones? Thanks again for your hard work

 

[infernic]

Hi there can I use this if I am using sound card Sound Blaster ZXR or is it just for onboard audio?

 

[phnix11]

However dumb it might be I'm gonna ask anyway....
How to make it work with bluetooth devices?
Any extra mod required?

Hi @AAF Optimus, I've run into similar situation. So after I removed the AMD driver as well, it seems to have work. Curious whether that was possible issue in the past, since I've always just remove the AAF, Realtek, DTS and Dolby stuff and whatever drivers associated and whether I should try previous version again also removing the AMD driver.

Previous Realtek driver versions though could detect speakers and headphones (Realtek UWP) but now it also just seems to have headphones as an option now matter which I plug into the 3.5mm jack of the laptop.

Speakers option below is the laptop's speakers.

 

[AAF Optimus]

Im that case, is already in headphones mode?

Not. Try plugging headphones into the P2 port and setting the headphones to standard output if necessary.

Is the right app for headphones?

I recommend Dolby Atmos For Gaming.

Hello, i’m not a newbie since i already installed the whole driver a lotta times.
I need advice for what concerning audio configuration.
My purpose is to have a fully 7.1 setup on my headphones (AKG k612 Pro) + better sound quality through my Hi-Fi (Denon AVR-1705) 6.1 Receiver + Bose Acoustimass 5 series III (2.1).
What configuration you advise? I’m currently Running on 48000 Khz 24bit for having the Spatial Audio DTS:x Ultra , but i noticed that using Dolby Digital (supported by my receiver) The audio quality is better.
My problem is that i have to connect my headphones onto my Receiver, because if i set the Spatial Audio on the Headphones in windows 10 the volume is so low and i actually have not the money to buy a whole amp for the Heafphones .
Can you suggest me a configuration?
Thanks a lot for helping me . Bye

Hey @AAF Optimus

I upgraded to Windows 11 and it appears to have broken my 5.1 audio. I have since used DriverStoreExplorer (by @lostindark) to remove all realtek related audio (and yours'). And reinstalled with the latest version of your custom drivers via your signature.

The install goes smooth, but still not showing 5.1 option in sound control properties (see attachment). 5.1 DTS works if I play a windows store app though (like netflix), but that's the case even without your driver.


Motherboard: TUF Gaming x570-Plus (using onboard optical S/PDIF)
Version of your driver I'm using: AAFOptimusDCHAudioPack-10.0.2311.9336

Any help really appreciated. I just want to use it for enabling 5.1 sound. The other features are a bonus.

Hi dude i have realtek Alc1200 and should i only install. "Install decoder" and "realtek ASIO controller"?

When i install i got "AAF DCH Optimus Sound - Tweak Tool".What is that and what should i do?

 

[Bryan Ü]

DTS service running but no gui change in the app. ALC285

 

[nikal]

Hi,

just installed the drivers and got Dolby Digital option but I can't get the DTS option (I have an external DAC supporting Dolby and DTS decoding). With an older PC having a very old RLT chipset I could get DTS and Dolby support but not with my new one (RLT1220-vb).

Thanks in advance for your help!
