AAF Realtek DCH Audio Driver - DTS

[Ferather]

Hmm, ok let me try a mod, my guess is this is down to Windows, the service starts every time for me.



----

Open AAF 6.0.9116.4 DTS\WIN10\HDXRT.inf with notepad, edit this line:

ServiceBinary = %10%\system32\DTS\PC\APO4x\DTSAPO4Service.exe

To (from Asus files)

ServiceBinary = %11%\system32\DTS\PC\APO4x\DTSAPO4Service.exe

If I make this change I get the same problem as you do.

Save and disable driver signing.

Multichannel is an auto-active profile (the app is for stereo, so stereo options disable). In some cases the APO4 service may need to be restarted.

After a TeamViewer session, we discovered my current drivers doesn't fully support ALC892 (2011), I will investigate.

----

Here is my ALC889 with Optical (named Digital), and SPDIF passthrough (named Internal), with the ALC892 the Optical is the Internal one.

I will most likely need to produce a separate driver that suits the changes made, I will message you.

====

Update to AAF 6.0.9116.4 DTS (Signed)

Added detection for digital interfaces and support for multichannel digital interfaces to APO4 (SPDIF, HDMI).
Disabled APO1, added "RTKAPOTool64" (Tools folder), to allow use after install (see here).
Added digital headphones interface codes to the base .inf file.

Note: APO1 is generally obsolete, if stereo upmixing is required, use E-APO (see here).

I have tried doing this and nothing, Task Manager continue to say it's disabled.

The weird thing is that CCleaner consider that is this enabled.

What happens if you create a manual process with SC.exe and the APO4service.exe in the driver folder? Google how to set it up

I do not understand what your are trying to say. Could you explain me, please ?

@dododo

The latest version (6.0.9116.4), but it seems the APO4 service works for some, but not others.

----

@Hearick

I really don't know why the service is having an issue. Here I recorded my tests with ALC889.
I had to use Stereo Mix to record the audio, due to live device changes.

Not able fix something that isn't broken for me, I am sorry

Software components are detected as Microsoft and no DTS. For the rest everything is the same.

Uninstall .inf's with Driver Explorer.

 

[Ferather]

@Hearick

Alright, well I made another update as I did find some things I missed in the .inf. The new version has additional tools, including 'Driver Store Explorer'.
Right click uninstall device in 'Device manager' (tick delete), use the tool to clean RTEXT and other drivers (Alan Finotty, Ferather).

AAF 6.0.9116.8 DTS - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/p173wf4i4udgs/AAF_Drivers

Without the extension installed Ultra will not work.

----

Next update I will be changing the way the profiles are installed, and will be removing the one I added to the driver.
This way you can find and use a profile (set of files) that work with your device.

Please post all feedback with Windows and driver version, thanks.

Si, DTS APO4 still force stop himself, but worse is that I can't get sound from Speakers (I do not have digital).

I'm using latest mod version with latest prerelease version of Windows.

I use aux cables conected to my Creative Stage V2

 

[Ferather]

Both analogue and digital are working for me. What happens with Alan's driver or official drivers? Do you have an ALC892?

----

For everyone else, the profile files are inside Profiles.7z, in the main package, transfer the files (not the folder):

C:\Windows\System32\DTS\PC\APO4x\

Note: You may need to delete and change the files to get better compatibility. Restart after transfer-delete.



You can also try profiles from official drivers (inside their .zip).

====

If you have an issue with 'Install' and need more information on the certificate and manual installation, please message me.
If you have an issue with a device after a good install, please list the driver version, ALC, and Windows build.

Note: The current driver does not work on all ALC versions, please backup before you start.

I do not have an ALC (I don't even know what it is lol)

So, I solved the problem connecting via USB (I don't know why but it works and detect your driver and not Stage V2 one xD).

Do you think I can download your Windows version with Microsoft page and not lose any data ?

 

[Dee_NA]

This is a self made compilation driver based on 'Alan's DCH Mods' (all credit to him), with full DTS support. It can also be installed in circumstances where installers don't function, or if direct files are needed.
I aimed at the minimum needed to get amazing surround audio, I did NOT focus on packing lots of third party apps that can break, stop functioning over time, or after updates.

This pack includes: AAF DCH Driver 6.0.9091.1 + DTS Suite including encoder (DTS Interactive, DTS Connect, Neo PC, Surround Sensation, Boost, and more).

Please make sure all other drivers are fully removed before installing, also note you will need to disable driver signing (see here).

----

If you are like me and dislike stereo expand matrix's, and are using E-APO to get stereo surround, use 'Pre-Mix' and 'SFX/MFX'.
Note: Pre-Mix on speakers will disable the DTS effects, make sure your not using them first (mostly for stereo).

With the RTEXT.inf, how do we use it exactly?

With the RTEXT.inf, how do we use it exactly?

RTEXT.inf is automatically installed with the Install button

If it doesn't install, go to Win10 folder and right click on it then Install it

Haha you do have an ALC, all Realtek chips have an ALC version, I'm guessing you have an ALC892 or similar chip, because someone else has the exact same issue with it on ALC892.

Do you think I can download your Windows version with Microsoft page and not lose any data ? - Maybe but if you have ALC 892 it wont work probably.
So, I solved the problem connecting via USB - Glad you have some sort of results.

My guess is the speaker interface somehow works differently on 892.

So, It works on Google Meet (where I can choose speaker) but not with Youtube and other where I can't choose

And thanks for the information

 

[Ferather]

No problem, I have read that even some versions, for example ALC892-CG, can also have different revisions, where outputs and jacks can be addressed.
By using USB you have bypassed the speaker ALC interface, as you are now using USB (Universal Serial Bus).

Realtek ALC892-CG DataSheet 1.3 - Drivers could end up with different effects.

A weir thing is taht Alan's APO4 works well with my version of Windows (at least it doesn't close himself)

 

[Ferather]

Don't think he has DTS APO4, but his .inf file is also different, some people have issues with his that mine fixes, and as you said visa versa.

Some information worth noting: Releases · pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic · GitHub, you can try modding my .inf your self.

 

[Hearick]

That's true he doesn't have DTS APO but I think I will install he's for the moment and when the new Windows version comes out I will install yours's

Do you think that with an official version APOs will work?

 

[Ferather]

I edited my post. Does this answer your question? Normally drivers detect a model and revision.

Yup !

So I mod RealtekAPO.inf putting your code or viceversa ?

 

[Ferather]

HDXRT.inf, but yes pretty much, please make a backup first, ideally the partition, this way you can break things and restore.

[Hearick]

When I install Alan's mod DTSAPO4 service works.

I have your DTSAPO4 files installed

So my question is : how could I mod Alan's files to put your DTS mod workeable ?

 

[emanresu]

@Hearick do you mean @alanfox2000 APO Driver? It has like 4-5 viruses. GitHub removed for a reason. @Alan Finotty has a "ping checker" in his shit, that connects to his GitHub every hour. This is worrisome. Just FYI.
