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

[Snk3]

Your notebook audio chip is in HDAUDIO Enumerator?
What's your audio chip hardware id?

I'm using one of your older drivers (10.0.2022.0), there is any way to get realtek console working with it? I'm getting the same error from the user above, if I can get RTK console working, I will finally be able to activate my microphone trought P3 combo audio jack.

My hardware ID is INTELAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0245&SUBSYS_1025170F&REV_1000, enumerator INTELAUDIO. In official foruns they said realtek audio chip model is the ALC255.

Your problem is that some hardware IDs of specific Realtek codecs are not enabled to use Realtek Audio Console. In this case, uninstall the currently installed package and reinstall the latest package, and regardless of your choice of effects, you will need to select "Install 5.1 Digital Audio Feature > Dolby Digital Live or DTS Interactive (do not select "Realtek Patched APO")". This will make your device emulate a distinct hardware ID, enabling the Realtek Audio Console.

===========================================

Gentlemen, regarding the spatial sound format "Dolby Atmos for Built-In Speakers", in addition to having Dolby Audio as a requirement instead of Dolby Atmos and it will ONLY work for those who have the license for Dolby Atmos for Headphones.

Ok, I'll give a shoot. I can also install your driver by normal way and have it working for some moments, but in order to get it working, I always need to remove intcaudiobus.info, looks like this driver is necessary to get built-in microphones working, and windows update keeps installing it back always, I wound't mind about those, if there is some way to permanently disable it, preventing update from installing it back.

In time, RTK console works fine with official drivers, and with your latests drivers by chosing SST audio drivers, until Windows update ruins it by reinstalling some others SST drivers. I really do like sound blaster connect, for me it sounds better than DTS-X and Dolby Atmos, and I can't have it in both cases, one of your older drivers saved it to me, because it can coexists with those SST drivers.

Worked the way you said

But also, I don't have option to change from headphones to headphones with microphones, to fit with my P3 audio jack. I tried several RTK console versions, even V2 with older driver, at least I have AEC option, I'm still testing but I noticed some crackling audio in certain conditions, like in almost every time opening some app who triggers audio effect, looks like it have some cooldown time, then it start crackling a single time when I open some of these apps.

 

[bit.whisperer]

I just started using your drivers on my 2022 Razer Blade 15 and I am having an issue getting dolby atmos installed. Nothing happens.

Most importantly, the audio output of the main speakers are swapped. Is there any way to fix this?

 

[Ferather]

@AAF Optimus, sometimes the Realtek service does create the startup task, which will mean the app will show an error on load, RPC if I remember right.
This has been the case for a few years, its not a new issue. To fix it, export the startup entry and restore it as part of the pack install.

I created one that targets %SystemRoot%, which is universal (any drive).

 

[konco01]

I try to install realtek uad generic from some github page and it work. I can open the realtek audio console. There is realtek audio universal service on services.msc
But when i installed aaf family dch audio, there is no realtek or dts on services.msc. The dts studio sound app stuck at about page and realtek audio console have error can not connect to rpc service.

But also, I don't have option to change from headphones to headphones with microphones, to fit with my P3 audio jack. I tried several RTK console versions, even V2 with older driver, at least I have AEC option, I'm still testing but I noticed some crackling audio in certain conditions, like in almost every time opening some app who triggers audio effect, looks like it have some cooldown time, then it start crackling a single time when I open some of these apps.

For me, the crackling sound happen when i didnot install any audio driver like from dell audio driver or realtek uad generic. So windows 10 will install hdaudio driver automatically. That driver is the one who making the crackling sound when some app triggering audio event.

@AAF Optimus It's possible do have Sound Blaster Connect working with official drivers?

 

[ScomComputers]

what is the name of the service to run dts studio sound ?

 

[Ferather]

I am afraid I don't remember, it will need to be installed first in order to run it.

 

[Mysticode]

No audio issue with latest driver set. I uninstalled everything I could before installing, but there was a warning about Realtek Patch APO remaining, which I could not find in the driver store. I am guessing this needs to be removed, but I have no idea how to if it does not show up in the driver store...

I uninstalled everything again and re-installed your drivers, but this time, I did not enable the AAF bundle. Now my audio works! HOWEVER, Realtek Audio Console won't load due to the classic RPC service issue... any ideas how to fix this?

 

[Carletto07]

For me, DTS X, DTS X ULTRA and DOLBY ATMOS SPEAKER used to work, even though I don't have a device with this technology, and even 5.1 interactive, but after mid-2024 these drivers don't work for me, neither the old one nor the current one, nor 5.1 works anymore, I've already installed basic and old Windows, but unfortunately it doesn't work, and when I activate 5.1 it says device not supported, but it does support it since the ASUS driver works normally with 5.1 but without spatial sound and just normal DTS, unfortunately Microsoft must block certain things in these drivers, even without connecting to the network, which I've also done, when you have a solution let me know, my motherboard is ASUS B450 GAMING, and the compatible ID is this; HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&CTLR_VEN_1022&CTLR_DEV_15E3&VEN_10EC&DEV_0B00&REV_1000

 

[OneMoar]

explain the differences in dolby versions?

 

[AAF Optimus]

For all those who are having problems with the RPC connection error in the Realtek Audio Console, follow these instructions: (Do not uninstall the package)

Open regedit and check if the key highlighted in red below exists.

If it does, delete it and run the following command:

"%SystemRoot%\System32\RtkAudUService64.exe" -remove

Once done, run:

"%SystemRoot%\System32\RtkAudUService64.exe" -install

Now, open the Run menu (Windows + R), type services.msc, locate "Realtek Audio Universal Service" and double-click to open the window. First, in the General tab, stop the service if it is running, then click on the Logon tab and select the "Local System Account" option. Apply, return to the General tab and start the service.

Please note that the previously deleted registry key will be created again automatically.

Test it by opening the Realtek Audio Console.

 

[Ferather]

You should probably run those commands in command prompt admin. But yes the RPC error is services-task not running. I added some images to help.
@AAF Optimus, I am still using the service data in my inf without issues, might be different to yours if that helps with anything.

I have only ever seen the secondary task not running with my pack, so I only restore the task run entry.

There is no RtkAudUservice in regedit and RtkAudUService64.exe file on system32.

Do you mean you can not get your panel to show this?
sorry i can not read portuguese

You may have to use the realtek HDA driver test utility to modify the audio dat file

I can attach my dat file for you to try, if it does not work you just delete it and reboot
File goes in c:\windows\system32\drivers\

 

[MrAggo]

I updated the drivers and checked if the processes are running (they don't exist) and now it is just popups as a black screen

 

[ScomComputers]

Hi...can anyone help me with this (#360) ???

 

[OneMoar]

is there a way to force the amp to work on the front panel, is the built in headphone amp configurable

 

[Ferather]

Normally you separate headphones from rear. You should do this by default, you get independent impedance detection and amp settings.
Realtek app, device settings (config), separate front from rear. Rear = speaker amp, front = headphones amp.

Below I have attached some old images of my 889, I don't use analogue so no new images xD

[OneMoar]

doesn't apper to work on my board if i change the selection to headphones for the front panel I loose the amp
