It seems that durlng installation you have selected Realtek DDL/DTS, choose "Realtek Standard APO". The Dolby tab that appears on the screenshot you have sent only shown when you selected DDL Apo.
Feel free to try, I made the tweaks for my motherboard. Maybe some of them are unnecessary maybe not. You can always re-replace this with your file.
1. You don't need to. Mine is always enabled and I can assure the movies which have 5.1 sound are sounded correct. All channels are individual for...
If you have installed 8960 standard version, you don't need SBConnect at all for speaker fill.
Although you can use Surround option at SBConnect for speaker fill but I don't like its sound quality.
If you bring it it to 100% and make it on, it should produce 5.1 or 7.1 sound from stereo sources...
So far I had learned ALL DCH drivers don't have speaker fill option. This is by design and Realtek and Microsoft disabled speaker fill for DCH. If you want it you have to install 8960 standard. Or you have to install DCH with SBConnect and enable surround.
Hi @Alan Finote,
For those who couldn't make DCH work, I could manage to install the infamous version.
But unfortunately not with Alan's github script. When I had executed the install file, I tracked the APO's, services, etc are not being installed.
I don't know why but with install exe, my PC...
- download latest version. (only standard version works on my system for now)
- turn off your internet connection totally, both ethernet and wifi. (this is mandatory)
- uninstall all previous AAF mod driver or other (original realtek drivers) and don't restart yet.
- delete left over drivers...
This is same as mine z170 intel motherboard. I did all mandatory DCH steps and none of programs are working for me too.
If you look at RAPR after DCH version installed you will notice none of apo drivers are there.
But Alan's apo drivers has to be there. I ditched back to 8960 legacy and...
Hi @Alan Finote,
I am using Windows 10_2004 (19041.329), Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard (ALC 1150).
Legacy 8960 is working very well, but I couldn't make work any DCH version so far.
During my investigation, what I have found is non of the services or apo drivers are installed.
I can not...
I have an Asus Intel motherboard so I have installed drivers with these settings;
- AAFBus
- Realtek with DDL/DTS
- Sonic Studio 3
- Dolby Atmos
SB720 doesn't work on my pc too. I couldn't make it work even I had installed program and keys separately later.
Dolby Atmos and Sonic Studio is...
I also use an Asus board (Maximus VIII Hero) and legacy drivers (8960) are working fine for me.
What you need to do is this;
- download latest version. (only standard version works on my system for now)
- turn off your internet connection totally, both ethernet and wifi. (this is mandatory)
-...
I have tried the DCH version. No matter how much I had tried, Nahimic or A-Volute service is not being installed. So Dolby or Sonic or any effect don't work for DCH for me.
Legacy version (8960) works as a charm however. With Dolby Atmos+Sonic Studio 3+PCEE4 and Dolby Home Theater, 5.1 analog...
We have similar motherboards and soundchips then.
Before this Maximus VIII Hero motherboard I had used 7 years of modded driver for M4A89GTD PRO/USB3.
For my experience of modded driver usage, upmixing was never better. I prefer front L+R are copied but this is good enough. Better than Sonic...
Hi Alan, so this is my problem; I have started using my custom "rtkhdaud.dat" file.
My config use PCEE4 that has extraordinary sound quality with a little help from Dolby Atmos and Sonic Studio.
Everything works perfect, sound is amazing, it also has upmix to my 5.1 analog system.
It's upmix is...
Disabled the ethernet and wifi both while uninstalling everything. Deleted all AAF related drivers after restart by Driver Store Explorer. And restarted, again.
Reinstalled with AAF Bus, Sonic Studio, Dolby and ASIO. After restart I had activated the internet connections.
Now I could manage to...
Through 8848 to 8945, SB Connect was not even seeing the driver.
For me each software works in this 8959 build.
But none of them can apply the effects; upmix, bass, treble, etc.
Sonic Studio and SB Connect are working but not doing anything.
Asus Maximus VIII Hero (Z170_ALC1150) + Windows 10...
