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

[GaZw]

Hello.

Is this the real Alan Finotty? The reason I ask is because why is the driver packed with a miner?

Please explain this, flagged twice as a packed miner.

VirusTotal - File - 4b3ae3c776dbab3b1740e0f6864fef953bfa842241dcc4d1d740a8a4c4d39902

Used AAF Optimus for years and always checked the drivers with Virustotal and was always clean.

Trying to find the original thread on another forum with alan2000 but I'm sure it was removed, I think Realtek got the whole thread removed, those drivers were always clean on Virustotal.

Such a shame.

I don't know which version you are talking about, I think you failed to provide more information

but the last one is clean.

Also nobody pays to alan to make this mod, I'm grateful to him because now I have a better sound on my crappy sound board ALC887

Alan Finotty and alan2000 are two different people; not the same person

Hello and thanks for the replies much appreciated.

First allow me to say I don't want any trouble with your guys or Alan Finotty, the work on AAF is outstanding, please allow me to explain.

So basically my previous Windows version was NT Server based of the WIN8.1 Kernel, it was the perfect OS, blazing fast but did not support DX12, so unfortunately I had to move over to WIN11.

So now on WIN11, I decided to find a newer version of AAF seeing as I had a 2020 version. I tried to locate the original thread for the AAF drivers but could not find the thread online.

Now searching online I found this thread but it only had 12 pages and the thread was started in 2022, here is the link.

AAF Optimus DCH Audio Modded Driver for Windows 10/11 - For ALL HDAUDIO Enumerator Chips | TechPowerUp Forums

So I downloaded the new AAF Optimus driver from the Github link and ran it through VirusTotal seeing as I didn't really trust this new thread with only 12 pages.

So I logged into TechPowerup and landed on this thread which has over 200 pages, I didn't realize this and believed that they maybe an imposter as Alan Finotty, I apologize for the mistake, forgive me.

So you said that Alan Finotty and alan2000 are two separate people? This is strange indeed because I downloaded the AAF Optimus driver from alan2000 Github. I dug out my old laptop and found the actual link to alan2000 in favorites.

alanfox2000/realtek-hda-release

A non-official repository for downloading Realtek High Definition Audio Driver and USB Audio Driver standalone packages which were released from Realtek FTP Server. - alanfox2000/realtek-hda-release

github.com

I was right, the whole thread was removed, this github had a huge list of modded Realtek drivers and I downloaded AAFHDAudioPack-6.0.8959.1.exe from there which I still have the installer here.

Checking the signature on the AAFHDAudioPack-6.0.8959.1.exe it's Alan Finotty and AAF Publisher so are you sure that Mr Finotty is not also alan2000?

I also attempted the install the AAFHDAudioPack-6.0.8959.1.exe on WIN11 but after restarting the unit, the sound driver icon keeps disappearing / re-appearing, its like the driver turns on/off even in the Device Manager. This driver was the best sound I've ever heard from an onboard chip, absolutely magical sound, felt like the high-hats were dancing around the room, the sound was alive.

I also installed the audio driver from the motherboards website and it sounds awful, it's really bad so I would like to find a clean version for the newest version of AAF Optimus if I may ask?

Mr Finotty should start a Patreon, I'm sure many users will support Mr Finotty on Patreon.com for the works on AAF Optimus.

Thanks for reading and hope to speak soon.

It is common practice for nefarious coders to bury malwares into other people's work relabel it and so on.

Yes, Alan2000 has ended of his Work here & on GitHub. But I don't know, why...

but the last one is clean.

If you upload the downloaded file in your PC from latest driver, virus total will show you some issues.
But from the Github link it shows that the file is clean.

I'm confused here.

Hello and hope everyone is good.

So I downloaded the last version in the list on Github, AAF DCH Optimus Sound 10.6.2329.9360 (Signed) and ran it through Virustotal which states it's clean, so gave this version a test.

There's some issues with these new versions ie, the equalizer only changes the front left/right speaker on 5.1 surround on the Realtek console window. In order to fix this, I used EqualizerAPO which can individually equalize each speaker, but it doesn't work with the driver?

EqualizerAPO when installed actually removes the equalizer from the Realtek GUI but on the new Realtek Console GUI, the equalizer is still there.

There's also no taskbar icon anymore like the older versions of AAF Optimus, may I ask does anyone have an AAF Optimus driver which uses the Asus Supreme GUI seeing as I have an Asus SupremeFX chip?

We'll be back.

This has the amplification detection which makes the sound much clearer.

Now the version I used was AAFHDAudioPack-6.0.8959.1 which did not have this GUI, it had the much older Asus GUI, here is a picture.

https://www.tenforums.com/attachments/sound-audio/295513d1598950935t-latest-realtek-hd-audio-driver-version-2-a-image.png?s=02a3f545fc9ae15c99617ddaa7de7c30

But the amplification detection still worked fine on this version, seems that the newer Realtek Console GUI has no amplification detection.

Thanks again and hope to speak soon.

open windows store app
go to settings, disable auto updates

that will stop the activation loss

now as far as the reinstall?
you could try, uninstalling the apps

have 7zip extract the exe you downloaded from github
then go in the others\apps\dts folder and try to reinstall it from there

i am not sure if it will work, i dont know if any behind the scenes magic takes place to bind it to the audio
controller or not, worth a shot

in any case disable windows store auto update, or it will keep replacing the apps with new copies

 

[mccg35]

I tried many sound modes on the notebook, active and passive (dts, dolby on/off), but I'm getting a crackling sound on the speaker and I couldn't figure it out.

edit: even with a clean install.

Hello my friends, I was looking for a modified realtek s1200a drive to use in windows 11.
I really like using the asus app but it's not working for my motherboard: tuf x570-plus
In windows 11 only the basic driver works, I would like to have at least the equalizer to improve the sound.

Could someone send me the address of the driver ?

Installed this and there's some crazy audio delay, any tips?

 

[OneMoar]

install only the effects you want/need
don't stack effects

Sorry could you recommend what I choose for gaming purposes? I ticked Dolby Atmos for Gaming and Creative 720 and it didn't work. Creative app says there's no speaker detected and Dolby atmos does nothing in the spacial menu.

Well, this version I have used got similar results, does it really have virus or just false positives?

VirusTotal - File - fbfbef4d4f0cf1aa61a99d53a072adc5170e8de27ed5fbf902ffef036c1bd60c

This is from an older driver I have here:

Hi Alan,
Thank you very much for this latest version, it is working like a charm, with no issue !

however, is there an option to separate rear jack (stereo speakers) and front jack (headphone) because now they work simultaneous in same time,
If any option to automatically disable (or mute) rear speakers when front headphone is plugged (like in classic realtek panel ?
I searched in shortcut AAF DCH Optimus Audio - Tweak Tool, but its like a forest, many many options and i did not know what i have to do...

Thank you in advance for your help.

Complementing my previous message.
I don't understand English very well and it has many pages with different subjects. I got confused.
I appreciate if anyone can help me or even tell me the download address for the driver.

thank you
