AAF Optimus Modded Driver For Windows 10 & Windows 11 - Only for Realtek HDAUDIO Chips

[Mark Draconian]

Windows 24H2 is a mess here with the drivers... it keeps mixing old Realtek drivers from 2019 and newest AAF ones... i just gave up, the old ones just keep coming back again and again.

At least everything seems to work fine, so yeah that's it then.

And Merry Christmas!

It is the automatic driver installation feature of Windows Update causing this.

I disabled the driver updating
it gets rather annoying cause it always picks generic drivers anyways

Regedit
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
dword ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate
Value 1

@AAF Optimus
This is probably not doable, i am going to guess that it doesnt end well on all implementations but i will ask anyways.

Is it possible in the drivers to expose the independent playback and input devices by default?
I been using the realtek hda driver test utility to expose them (and i of course forget how every time and have to poke around a bit till i remember by accident LOL)
I finally just copied the DAT file to my driver archive after i made a working one last time.

I am guessing though that you have good reason for not doing that by default.

Other than that, i have had 0 issues with your latest drivers on Win 11 24H2, even on a clean install.
I simply excluded drivers from win updates, which I always do.

Hi.

When installing version 9761, the DTS:X Ultra app does not recognize external speakers or headphone devices, so the features of the DTS:X Ultra app are not enabled. I had no issues with version 9757.

Realtek ALC1200
Gigabyte B550 AROUS ELITE

I think that DTS:X Ultra is to be used with a DTS:X enabled receiver, with the PC plugged into the receiver via HDMI?
I do not believe that DTS:X Ultra does anything over Analog outputs or SPDIF, only HDMI

DTS Headphones: X (DTS Sound Unbound app) works over headphones
Also seems to work over SPDIF though I can't say how well it works as opposed to just using Dolby or DTS 5.1 live, I am sure it isn't quite intended for 5.1 SPDIF

Hi @AAF Optimus , I have tested your latest github release on windows 24H2, but still I'm facing audio not controlable issue. I have installed below components on installs
1) Realtek v1 with dolby settings for speaker
2) Realtek v2 with Dolby Atmos for gaming
3) Realtek v1 with DTS X
4) Realtek V2 with DTS X

Kindly let me know if you want to me test other combinations

Hi, I was curious what hardware it is that you have that you get that issue?
I have ALC892.

I ran the uninstaller of the old version
Rebooted
Ran driverstore explorer
Removed any drivers whose "Provider" is "Realtek", "Dolby", "DTS", "Creative", "A-Volute", "AAF Optimus"
Rebooted again, with internet disconnected, just to prevent windows from trying to find something online.

Ran the installer
Picked Realtech console V1 (V2 feels like options were removed?)
Picked Install ASIO controller
Picked install 5.1 audio feature, sub-option Realtek Patched APO
Picked DTS Sound Unbound (Though dont really need it, plus it just self updates and retracts the license even with windows store updates disabled)

Volume control works for both SPDIF output and the analog jacks.

Wonder if that might work for you?
Not sure what hardware you are installing for.
