Thanks for a great driver - what is the best way to update to latest version? Do I just reinstall on top of older version?

You will need to uninstall the version currently installed on your computer before starting to install this package.

Hello! I am looking at using this package and have a couple questions? I am recently changed my audio setup. Previously I plugged my PC straight into my Logitec Z-506 speakers but I'm attempting to get surround through more devices and now have the PC and other devices outputting HDMI sound to the TV and into a decoder that goes to the PC speakers. This works great for consoles (Switch excluded) but my PC was only sending stereo so I went down the rabbit hole and discovered the limitations of LPCM 5.1 and up through optical. So I currently have dolby digital outputting through HDMI using the method here https://app.bramantya.org/surround/ but having stumbled in here, this driver and package seem more supported. I also keep seeing mention of using Dolby Atmos instead but I can't get the "Dolby Atmos for Home Theatre" option to appear, does anyone know of a way to make it show and if it would give me any better sound than I already have with Dolby Digital selected as format? Thank you

Pretty sure you can extract the setup from the .exe like a .rar file just open it with something like WinRAR. Then go in and run the setup.exe it is looking for

I tried the drivers in previous version and it made me loose "Stereo Mix", but in this new driver i have problem with the setup.exe

EDIT: I was able to solve it by unzipping and I don't see any stereo mix in this version either

 

[onlylove943]

Is there anyway to get Realtek Audio Console to install with this version?

 

[GaZw]

I had a problem when recording with stereo mix when I opened a program, the recording got choppy
I think it's related to the hdmi audio on my graphics card, because i saw several hdmi connections disappearing in audio properties I only have my monitor plugged in.
the solution was to disable this and now all recording work fine

Hi dear Friends.

I am reading this post and the REALTEK USB post, i am trying use...

my Fosi audio DAC-q4 (Hardware ID) (Connected by USB)
USB\VID_262A&PID_9113&REV_0001&MI_01
USB\VID_262A&PID_9113&MI_01

My dac is a simple headphone amplifier/DAC without decoders, according to Fosi brand it no drivers need. Check this.

My problem is that:
not work if it is connected by USB, who dont work?

Dolby atmos (Only works with s/PDIF)​

Soundblaster connect 2 (Only works with s/PDIF)​

DTSX Ultra (the normal works, or using s/PDIF)​

​

Note: s/PDIF not work when mark dolby atmos in the channel, is it because my dac dont support??


Only work for me the sonic studio

My question is, how could I linked to the programs my audio device? is possible it using FX configure? Could someone explain me or share me a post where found a solution please !!!

Thank u very much for this amazing work

PD: My board is a Asus Maximus VII HERO with chipset Z97
I am try reinstall in some times and delete (undeleted drivers, using the Rapr tool and clean registers) but nothing work. Using this drivers and REALTEK drivers .. nothing work!

Thank youuu broo!!!

Hey Bro, How to fix Windows Audio Endpoint Builder high CPU usage?

Hi Alan! Thank you so much for AAF Optimus. Everything has been working fine after a few reinstalls. DTS Ultra and Sound Blaster work great. Line out and SPDIF both show AAF Optimus in the driver settings. For some reason I recently lost DTS Headphone:X and DTS:X Decoder. Previously it said I had those! Any ideas?

 

[Hypocritical]

It's bad, the driver doesn't work properly for my device.
I used the DDU tool to clean up the audio driver before installation, then when I installed the AAF Optimus driver, everything went well, but it reminded me to restart my computer, when I finished restarting my computer I found that I could not see any newly installed audio driver, only the NVIDIA audio driver showed up in the control panel, maybe this is a compatibility issue, can you help me fix this problem?

I don't know where to start, because a couple things are wrong as to explain why it isn't working after you restart. WEll, lets tackle what comes first chronologically, you having to clean all the Dolbys and DTS and Realteks drivers with DDU, as you said it, so, why is the driver named Realtek?
Is that like, BEFORE deciding to to download AAF pack and install? because even if the INSTALLATION succeeded, you'll be installing AAF package on top of High Res Windows Audio generic controller/driver, not a realtek one (IDK what windows you have, nor if the new AAF software blocks the autoupdate feature by changing policies/registry/etc); for Windows Update to not silently install an arbitrary Realtek Driver, indeed something must be done, I myself went through with group policies, changed the "do not allow windows update [...]" entry to enabled and specified the hardware ID so it remains untouched; Maybe the new AAF package does that for you, IDK i've been with AAF for a couple years and then many stuff we had to tune and click manually, now it follows a smooth script, so If AAF doesnt, you going and clicking in "do not auto-install drivers" checkbox in Windows' Control Panel -> System or "view advanced system settings" -> "device installation settings" under the Hardware tab -> check the "NO" answer to auto-install/update devices if you got admin reach <----- This won't be enough, check forums and messageboards Win 10 never respected this setting, I dont wanna keep on talking but thats what pops in my mind at first glance, ofc i dont have enough data on your OS, the timeline, what do you mean when you say X, etc.,.. not enough info for troubleshooting, because If we had that, then I'd say It's irrelevant to look for matching IDs and models and numbers, because since it's all based on a built in Windows driver, its universal, one size fits all (for good or bad, AAF also has the "USB" version package that does use REaltek just so you know, im sorry if I overwhelm you

Following up I reinstalled and turned off Microsoft store updates. I also also installed DTS Studio Sound with the 720 license instead of DTS Ultra. So far everything is sticking and Sound Blaster 2 is working great!

I am playing around with your package all weekend I'm having some issues if you could help, first of all I'm on realtek alc887, I installed your drivers and apps are not working cause the input is default as a speaker not headphones (I'm using headphones) after many tries it worked (i don't know how), eventually I uninstalled because I wanted to try your other features since your installer said that is was already installed when trying to reinstall. I was changing the input from realtek audio console from speakers to headphones but still it didn't change. I have uninstalled and installed like 8 times always using ddu, driver store explorer and ccleaner also deleting anything related to the apps, something might have bugged the system, i really want to use your package since its greatly done, thanks

edit: after completely uninstalling everything i cant download realtek audio control from microsoft store

 

[SNORLEX2016]

after testing all the audio software , I choose nahimic as the best of all .
You can clearly hear all the footstep in game while DTS and DOLBY only focus on the environment sound and make them noisy and too much bassy .
SOUND BLASTER ALSO good and has more parameter but ugly UI .

Stickied and OP edit limit unlocked. Nice work.

Thanks for this! I had previously been doing the dance of your other driver and Ferather's trying to get SPDIF working with 5.1 with success about 10% of the time and this worked out of the box the first time without issues!

Zenith Extreme x399 with Realtek audio it says ESS® ESS9018Q2Cvv on the spec sheet, however, offers Realtek drivers on the support site
SPDIF to Logitech Z906

**My issue**
With this driver I can get 5.1 working over SPDIF using Dolby Digital including DTS:X Ultra which I can test and validate all audio channels are sending sound as expected...

HOWEVER, When playing audio (say out of youtube or another source) it is extremely and artificially boomy on the bass. If I choose away from 5.1 (Dolby Digital) it sounds fine and normal as expected however it won't use the other channels. Is there a config setting somewhere that would affect this? I checked Sound Blaster Connect 2 (and after the patch to 360 it allows me to use it) and verified all of the enhancements are off and not affecting anything.

I tested the most recent version (today 10.0.22000.1) and the previous version both behave in the same way and when I got the other Realtek version working over dts it also had the same behavior

I should also mention I also suffer from the pops, screeches, hisses coming from the speakers at odd times however that issue is secondary.

Any help is appreciated, Thank you!

From experience with my Z5500's i used to own, optical stereo gave really really low bass.
Analogue stereo gave great bass, optical 5.1 gave great bass, optical stereo just... forgot the bass.

If you're using the Z906 it could be the same situation where you may have cranked it up for stereo optical, and now need to lower it at the speakers end.

Make sure you disable any dolby effects - use the "no effect" setting, they're designed to fix that stereo issue by redirecting the bass to the subwoofer - but when active on actual surround sound signals you get weird issues and duplicated bass. It's only meant to activate when it detects a stereo signal, but third party encoding like you're running can confuse them.

Oh and make sure you've got things wired up right - the amount of times i've seen people swap center and subwoofer wires over is too many to count, and resulted in a lot of weird audio and muffled voices
