Realtek Modded Audio Driver for Windows 10/11 - Only for HDAUDIO

[Dan Druff]

Hi Alan, I'm new here.

I have recently purchased an HP ENVY 17. I cannot get Stereo Mix to appear (I've tried all the usual fixes, and even tried installing generic drivers from MUC).

I decided to try yours.

I get no audio at all with your version. This is similar to what happens to me when I install the HDA version from MUC. If I install the DCH version from MUC, I get audio, but stereo mix is missing.

Anything I can do here?

Here's what is listed using the Realtek HDA driver test utility:

INTELAUDIO\DSP_CTLR_DEV_34C8&VEN_8086&DEV_0222&SUBSYS_875C103C
Running <= INTELAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0245&SUBSYS_103C875C&REV_1000\5&2D1F33A8&0&0001
Driver return version = 8960 <<6.0.8960.1>>
Driver return InternalName = RTKVHD64.sys 8960
Driver running model = eMd_Generic <0>
Power Data: Bus(D0), Codec(D3)

nothing you can do about it, Dan. your using a laptop and not a desktop (hp envy 17 is a laptop which does not have the option regardless of what you do).

the stereo mix option is usually available to Realtek ALC8xx/ALC9xx audio chipsets (ex. ALC888, ALC892, ALC899, ALC900, etc.) [ex. DEV_0888, DEV_0892, DEV_0899, DEV_0900] (and maybe with ALC1150 & ALC1220) found on most motherboards & some desktop PCs
your hardware device ID begins with "INTELAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0245" (ALC245)

stereo mix is offered but disabled by default on IDs beginning with either HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_08xx or INTELAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_08xx (and possibly with DEV_1150 & DEV_1220)

in order to use stereo mix, you need a desktop motherboard or a desktop PC using Realtek ALC8xx or ALC12xx audio chipsets. 2-series chipsets (ALC2xx like ALC245, ALC269) are not powerful enough to do an actual stereo mix

moving on - waiting to see if Alan F. will release a 9042 DCH modded driver version as MSI has recently posted a 6.0.9042.1 version on their web site

Might not always be the case; I've got an ALC245 on a dell laptop and the chip has stereo mix available.
Still, HP might have messed on @Dan Druff system a bit too much.
@Dan Druff You did check the old sound control panel, right? The Windows 10 settings app does not show stereo mix, as Windows by default disables the stereo mix source.

If you need to record your audio out, I woluld recommend you to use WASAPI loopback on Audacity. Perfect quality always.

NEW DCH DRIVERS RELEASED IN GITHUB
DCH DRIVER VERSION 6.0.9042.1
DOLBY ATMOS APP VERSION UPDATED

ATTENTION: You will need to uninstall the currently installed version before continuing with this installation. A condition has been imposed for this due to problems reported by some users.

Those who want only Realtek material, just choose the panel option (HDA or UAD), select your decoder and deselect the rest.

ENJOY!!!

If I install the 9042 driver from MSI, will I get proper SPDIF 5.1 audio?

I was going to ask the same

Me too.

@Dan Druff
If you wanna use stereo mix, but don't have the supported hardware on soundchip, you could try Voicemeeter (Banana, Potato).
It's free to use / donationware.

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies.

I shouldn't have mentioned the Stereo Mix because that's not my main point here. That's only why I tried Alan's version in the first place.

The problem is that I simply get no audio when I try to install Alan's driver. The same thing happens with the HDA version of the driver on MUC.

The only way I can get sound working is by using the DCH driver on either MUC or the one provided by HP.

Again, I have an HP ENVY 17, with an ALC 245 chip. If I can get Alan's driver to give me audio, then all problems are solved.

So, has AAF DCH 9042 resolved the S/PDIF 5.1 issue?

I pass from testing it right now , I hope someone has the chance to do so

well I dared to test the new version 9042 and is the same old story, 5.1 pcm test sounds only on front speakers, no surround sound comes from the rear/side ones so for us who use the s/pdif interface the only working version is still the 8996

This is disappointing. I am also one that needs S/PDIF 5.1. I'm sure there must be a good reason why this functionality is missing.

I'm still on 8996 as well.

 

[niiyant]

Is it possible to have both DDL and DTS interactive as an option to choose from in the default formats?

 

[MasterBeiShen]

Hi Alan, when trying to uninstall 9034, it prompts the uninstallation of THX TruStudio Pro. However, after a reboot, the program is still there. I manually deleted the Creative folder in C:\Program Files (x86), and now after installing 9042, THX TruStudio Pro is nowhere on my PC. Please help!

Do we know if this is a Realtek issue or something specific to Alan's package?

I have no idea the source of the S/PDIF 5.1 issue. Rather than speculate, perhaps Alan should weigh in and give us his thoughts.

Meanwhile, thankfully, 8996 gives me the functionality I need.

 

[tasos.chan]

Alan we are all greatfull for your fantastic work. I personally use your drivers mostly for 5.1, but I am not in a hurry to update from 8996. I understand that development takes a lot of time and it might be hard to fix the issue.

However, can you share your thought on 5.1 not working? We are all curious about it.

Appx apps need to connect to the internet at least once.
check your connection/firewall if you have it
(this system is shit for pcs without connection)
maybe someone else knows how to fix this for offline pc, it would be great.

Hi @Alan Finote, I got 2 Questions to you

the 1st is: Is it anyhow possible to solve the Problem, that I can let the "Customized Platform" be activated without any Changes of the Realtek Audio-Console?
the 2nd: How is your THX-Studio-App to configure, to work with the 7.1-activated analogue Rear-Panel or HDMI or S/PDIF out? Or must I buy an separately THX-Module?

 

[BastyTH]

installed 9042, HDA, HDA not installed. atmos not working asking for headphone. while i cant config not detect front panel cos HDA not installed.

 

[Jiggets]

Do any of these allow you to change the crossover points?

Olá Alan! Pelo que parece é brasileiro e isso me dá muito orgulho!
Antes de mais nada, não sou noob em informática mas no quesito áudio especificamente sim. Então gostaria de saber se poderia me ajudar?
Eu tenho uma MoBo ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PLUS e no site da fabricante diz que tem um CODEC REALTEK S1200A.
Eu uso apenas meu headset basicamente e queria usar virtualização (Dolby ou DTS) para jogos.
Eu removi os aplicativos que estava em TESTE do DTS e Dolby, removi os drivers do Windows, desinstalei tudo que se relacionava a som no PC.
Fiz a instalação dos drivers... por algum motivo estranho por 2 vezes não deu certo, mas na terceira deu algo diferente. Queria saber apenas se está certo e por que não consigo abrir o Sonic Studio 3, Sound Blaster Connect e não deixa habilitar DTS no headphone. Também não encontro o Dolby ou DTS Instalados...

Vou colocar algumas imagens em anexo e gostaria de saber se pode me ajudar. Se está tudo certo ou fiz algo errado e se realmente não habilita os apps de virtualização... só comprando mesmo?

[Editado] Eu instalei o "BXVS_PCAPP_L13_3_2_15_0" e o Sound Blaster Connect agora está abrindo. O estranho é que parece que meu microfone não está sendo ouvido por outros dentro do jogo (CoD MW) após as instalações dos MOD Drivers... o que pode ser? Pelo Windows consigo ouvir normalmente mas no jogo, apesar de parecer detectar meu mic aberto, minha voz não é ouvida...

Hi Alan! Apparently you are Brazilian and that makes me very proud!
First of all, I am not a noob in computer science, but in the audio area specifically, yes. So I wonder if you could help me?
I have a MoBo ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PLUS and on the manufacturer's website it says it has a CODEC REALTEK S1200A.
Basically I only use my headset and wanted to use virtualization (Dolby or DTS) for games.
I removed the applications that were in TEST from DTS and Dolby, removed the Windows drivers, uninstalled everything related to sound on the PC.
I did the driver's installation ... for some strange reason twice it didn't work, but the third time it did something different. I just wanted to know if it's alright and why I can't open Sonic Studio 3, Sound Blaster Connect and can't enable DTS on the headphone. Couldn't find any installed Dolby or DTS...

I will put some images in the attachment and I would like to know if you can help me. If everything is right or I did something wrong and if it doesn't really enable virtualization apps ... just buying it?

[Edited] I've installed "BXVS_PCAPP_L13_3_2_15_0" and Sound Blaster Connect is now opening. The strange thing is that it seems that my microphone is not being heard by others within the game (CoD MW) after the installation of MOD Drivers ... what can it be? Through Windows I can hear normally but in the game, although it seems to detect my open mic, my voice is not heard ...

Hi @Alan Finote ! Love your Realtek Audio mods and am definitely excited to install them I just have a quick question before installing. Is Dolby Digital Plus available to install in this mod? I use their intelligent equalizers frequently in my old computer. I saw in the install options that there is only Dolby Digital Live. Is that the same thing or are they totally different features? Thank you so much for taking time to answer my question!
