Dear TechPowerUp members.

I would like to inform you hereby that I will no longer be continuing the Realtek driver modding projects due to lack of availability and the fact that I am putting new priorities in my personal life.

I would like to sincerely thank all the members of this forum, who were patient with me and welcomed me with open arms back in March 2017.

Thank you all.

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 Optimus Sound:

DOWNLOADS & UPDATES HERE (LINK TO LATEST VERSION)

Latest HDAUDIO Driver Version: 6.0.9655.1
Totally Reworked Driver Pack!!!

No USB Support!

Before installing this modified driver, be sure to remove any and all residues from previous Realtek audio drivers or even if there are residues from previous versions of my mods, if they persist. For this you will need the DriverStoreExplorer (by @lostindark). Remove any drivers whose "Provider" is "Realtek", "Dolby", "DTS", "Creative", "A-Volute", "AAF Optimus", etc in the "Sound, Video and Game Controllers", "Extensions", "Software Components" and "Audio Processing Objects" device categories.

Yes. It already has an integrated ASIO driver.

@fxtreme If you still have difficulty, please provide a file below. Open the compressed file and copy rtkhdaud.dat to "%systemroot%\System32\drivers", replace it if it already exists and restart your computer.

24-bit line-in / 24-bit microphone working Thank you.

Works great man.

I can run Sound Blaster Connect flawless. It makes a big difference music/gaming/movies.

From HD Audio Manager/Realtek, the SounzReal EXP Settings are good too. OmnniSpeaker EXP and MP3+ sound nice.

To bad I can't chain Viper4Windows. Some convolvers you can use there are really good.

From Dolby, only the Dolby Atmos from App Store I can get to run in concurrence.
Dolby Atmos Sound System or any other I tried, always problem accessing the driver.

Awesome! Giving this a try when I get home!

I only get this:

Did you get any errors during the installation?

 

[xkm1948]

Anyway you can make a zip or rar based file? Exe are fine but it gets on my nerves and I dont have a good VM setup to try it just yet.

 

[GoldenX]

Did you get any errors during the installation?

Nope, installs fine, without any errors.

 

[fxtreme]

I only get this:

manually add --> device manager / sound / double click on realtek.. / update driver / browse my computer... / let me pick from a list .. / select Realtek Advanced HD audio ....

(alc887: i manually added, old driver updated. installation not auto update to my old driver. )

Yes it works.

I only get this:

Try this tweak (Requires .NET Framework 4 or higher)

1° - Exit Sound BlasterX 720°
2° - Unzip the entire folder "Licensing" inside the compressed file and run GenKGA.exe (if necessary, disable your antivirus TEMPORARILY)
3° - Start Sound BlasterX 720° again.

If you still can not, try upgrading the Sound BlasterX 720° version through this LINK. (Remember: during installation, uncheck the Audio Driver option in the program installer).

Post your result.

I've just tried this driver on my Asus Maximus V Gene with SuprmeFX III onboard audio. I believe it's a Realtek ALC892 Codec.
It works fine except the rear speakers don't work in analog 5.1 output and I can't see any Dolby Digital Live or DTS Connect software for digital output.

 

[GoldenX]

Nope, same result.
Something I've noticed is that any moded driver disables the ability to reprogram the connectors.

 

[Bernec]

For me it installed with no problems and everything seem to be working except VoiceMorph from "SoundBlaster Connect 2". When I try to enable it I hear some weird sounds like a laggy recording (maybe it supposed to be this way so you can actually hear yourself but the playback speed of the audio is very slow ... not sure).



Look cool tho ... and the "regular" audio drivers have some new options like "DTS Connect" and "SounzReal EXP" - dont know what this last one is tho



This SounzReal EXP doesn't seem to be working ... I can't click on any buttons ! (the DTS Connect I think you need an optical connection to a DTS receiver or something). Is the driver correctly installed not sure how to check ...

I don't know sadly how to "test it" all to see if it really works but sound difference I've noticed really quick with some AudioTehnica M50X headphones !
