AAF Optimus Modded Driver For Windows 10 & Windows 11

[AAF Optimus]

Dear members of the TechPowerUp Forum.

I come to inform you that I am slowly returning to the DriverMod Realtek project.
I'm releasing a driver update after this past time.

Thanks for Understanding.

MOST UPDATED VERSION: 9757

Spoiler: CHANGELOG

Spoiler: 9738

• This first version comes with changes to Dolby Atmos variations. They will now be loaded by the Dolby Access application. Due to the fact that the application files are large, it is not advantageous to integrate it into the installer, therefore, if it is not automatically installed by the Microsoft Store, it will need to be manually installed. A link will be created on the Desktop that will take you directly to the Dolby Access application.
• This first version comes with changes to DTS APO 4x. The presets have been updated, as have the audio processing libraries. They now have two options to choose from (main and alternative processing) to provide maximum functionality for DTS:X Ultra. (Courtesy of @Ferather).

Spoiler: 9738 - UPDATE 1

• This version contains updates to Dolby Atmos presets, enabling the Dynamic profile in the app and disabling AutoProfile. Furthermore, the DefaultSettings files (XML and JSON) were removed and replaced with Operator_Settings_Default (JSON), where only the necessary lines are, removing all the garbage.

Spoiler: 9749

• This version includes the new Dolby app, called "Dolby Settings", which is a smaller alternative to Dolby Access.

• This version includes the Dolby Audio, Dolby Audio Premium and Dolby Audio Speaker System SKUs.

• In this version there is also the possibility of using "Dolby Atmos for Built-In Speakers" only with some Dolby Audio SKU. Functional only for the Analog Output Endpoint (Speaker Out, for example). But I make it clear that I do not guarantee the functionality of this feature, since I have purchased the Dolby Atmos for Headphones license.

• Nahimic Updated and Fixed

Spoiler: 9757

• Sonic Radar 3 option now included in the installer
• Dolby DLL Files version updated to 3.30705.750.0
• Realtek Audio Console app version updated to 1.51.353.0
• Nahimic app version updated to 1.10.3.0
• Nahimic APO4 version updated to 4.11.7.0
• Installer BugFixes
• Dolby Settings app version updated to 3.10000.116.0
• Dolby Settings, with its most recent update from Dolby Laboratories, now also supports Dolby Gaming SKUs, no longer requiring the installation of Dolby Access, except for those who have a license for Dolby Atmos Spatial Sound.

A clean start? Nice to see you back, is it Dolby only?

 

[AAF Optimus]

is it Dolby only?

No. It continues to have all the improvements.

A clean start?

I hope so.

@AAF Optimus, Might want to change you status from 'Account closed'. I can show you some IDA Pro tips, might help unlock the latest files.
Below is an example where I unlock the latest 2024 DTS files, I would guess with some time, similar can be done to Dolby.

Here are the latest unlocked DTS files, the only problem is they set 'Internal' as default not 'External'.

I'm testing.

 

[Ferather]

They are still in parts, as you will notice, but you can follow this post (#1,983) if you want to test them, they still work.
All I need to do is swap 'Internal' default to 'External', which is much harder than unlocking it, lol.

I have only tested my device, its unlocked, but in some cases, some devices need a different APO file.
My installer has two options main and alternative, where it just swaps the APO and Tech files.

@AAF Optimus, an imperfect video here, you can see what I do, hopefully you can do the same to Dolby.

 

[AAF Optimus]

Driver Updated.
@Ferather Tests were a success.

 

[Ferather]

You got external shown in the app? Nice, you will have to PM me if you did or have done something specific.

I guess you rebuilt the resources and signed it? Just to check lol.

 

[AAF Optimus]

YES.

Regarding this, I'm already waiting for ADM's response.

 

[Ferather]

Have you set 'sub' form factor in your pack, because DTS will also read the secondary form factor. Never got my head around what values it reads.

NO.

 

[Ferather]

Ok, last question, did you test it on a Realtek device? The policy can have settings for sub form factor, I did not try other devices.

Can you send me your device policy as .dat, if you tested Realtek, thanks.

 

[AAF Optimus]

did you test it on a Realtek device?

YES.

 

[Ferather]

Thanks. Nice to see you back, I also edited my last post to include a request for your policy as .dat.

ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus

 

[Ferather]

Thank you. I hope you able to use my information to learn how to reverse engineer Dolby files, good luck.

 

[nickarcade]

Heck yeah, lmao you've done more work than the actual engineers at Realtek have done in a lifetime

 

[AAF Optimus]

Dolby Atmos

Excuse me , does this driver support intel SST ? I'm using a MSI laptop, the driver can't install

 

[IMABEARLOL]

This is awesome news, glad to have you back!
My board, the Asus Strix X670E has the Realtek card as a USB device. Hopefully this driver will work and I can finally get DTS output over SPDIF that I had with your previous drivers on previous systems.

Thanks for your hard work and contribution to the community!

Hey man, nice to see you back. Please add USB audio driver to package, because many new MB-s have ALC4080 codecs.

 

[AAF Optimus]

does this driver support intel SST ?

Yes. If the driver does not want to be installed, you can try the "Install AAF Optimus Bus Driver (Supports Intel Smart Sound Technology)" option present in the installer.

 

[FengXi]

Yes. If the driver does not want to be installed, you can try the "Install AAF Optimus Bus Driver (Supports Intel Smart Sound Technology)" option present in the installer.

I tried to install AAF after installing intel SST it said No realtek HDAUDIO devices were found on this system

 

[Ferather]

The DTS files support USB, I don't know anything about the other files AAF uses.

 

[FengXi]

Yes. If the driver does not want to be installed, you can try the "Install AAF Optimus Bus Driver (Supports Intel Smart Sound Technology)" option present in the installer.

I tried the old versions, 9648 works, 9655 doesn't
