@Alan Finotty thank you so much for everything. I was previously using the APO drivers but things started to break after a while your software is perfect.

I use it because the Sonos playbar doesn't support DTS so my games are stereo or silent. Dobly Digital Live fixes that.

Is this likely to work forever or do i need to update every now and then?

I have an odd issue with the driverpack - when i disconnect the headphones from connector on the front side of the case, it always produces GSOD. Asus original drivers doesn't have this issue.
Is there any workaround?

Is the 5.1 SPDIF bug fixed, or do we still need to use 6.0.8996.2?

Anyone?!

 

[Ferather]

Not fixed yet, still disable enhancements to fix it. Do you have an ALC 8XX series?

ALC892. Why?

Btw, I have also bought Dolby Atmos legally from the MS store, so I guess no need for the cracked one.

I just want to have 5.1 audio in games that support surround audio, not plain stereo.

I remember this was the last version that doesn't have the 5.1 SPDIF bug: https://github.com/AlanFinotty/AAFDCHDriverMod/releases/tag/6.0.8996.2

 

[Ferather]

Turn off enhancements, I personally made my own driver because of this issue, and a constant bug with the option to disable not showing.
I require enhancements on SPDIF such as DTS:X Ultra, and even the Realtek effects, disable puts the device in raw mode.

Adding DTS:X Ultra was a mission, and still doesn't work on all devices, mostly 8XX series.





What it does to stereo audio with E-APO is special.....
Even Dolby Atmos is more 360 than before.

Hey everyone, I just discovered all of this after endless frustration with my stock software on my ASUS ROG Z-490E Motherboard. I installed the package and almost everything is working perfectly right off the bat.

My only issue so far is with the Tidal app on Windows. When I try to play a song I get an error message within Tidal saying "Unknown error when trying to select device".

The only way I am able to get a song to play is if I change the volume in the taskbar of Windows, prompting a "ding" system sound, and then hit play right away in Tidal. However, if I hit Next or let the song finish, the error pops up again and nothing plays.

Any fixes for this?

So is there a way to update this without completely uninstalling and reinstalling every time?

Not in the moment. Pardon me. I still haven't found a way to make this possible.

No prob, thanks for the reply. The drivers are great and I don't mind doing it, it would just be more convenient.

Am I the only one who uses Tidal with this and has the issue?

This may be one of those conditions where you need to check the device properties for the sound output you are using. I have one for my headset jack in front and a optical output to a receiver. Right click output > Properties > Advanced tab > Uncheck "Exclusive mode" - Why this is even there is such agood question but looks throwback to windows 95. I can't think of any time you would need to have one appp take exclsusive control


Does anyone have the KGA configuration tool? Still trying to get 720 humming.

Only if you enter safe mode and transfer the files over without changing the .inf, cant really do that when there's an installer in the way.

 

[Buzstringer]

I have a weird bug.

Using Spdif and DDL.

Whenever i started some games i get no audio until i physically change the volume from the windows taskbar. It plays the volume changed ding, then I get audio from the game.

 

[Ferather]

Alan needs to upgrade his .inf files, based on my reading of them (looks like HDA based writing). Give him some time to fix SPDIF.

Hello I'm new in this forum and i'm trying to install this modded audio driver on my gigabyte x570 aorus elite. I tried everything i could but when i go on Device Management I can't see the "AAF DCH Optimus Sound" (I still see "Realtek (R) Audio"). I ran the installer with Developer Mode and before running it i tried to install it two times... One with realtek 6.0.9054.1 installed before the installation and one without the driver. When i try to open Sound Blaster Connect it remains blank without popping any message while with sonic studio I get the "system not supported/driver not installed correctly" error. What do I havet to do? What did I do wrong? Thanks in advance @Alan Finotty @Ferather
P.S. sorry for grammar imperfection
P.S.S. Could the problem be that i have only a 3.5mm headset setup? (stereo)

if you are still seeing just "Realtek(r) Audio" in Device Manager, that means the AAF DCH Sound driver did NOT install properly [or your machine seems to be blocking the AAF DCH Sound driver, Obscuria].
you need to uninstall the Realtek(R) Audio driver completely from Programs & Features control panel (or use Display Driver Uninstall [DDU] tool to remove the existing Realtek audio driver), reboot (and maybe disable driver signature enforcement) and run the modded DCH Sound driver setup and reboot again for the DCH driver to take effect.

also UNcheck the audio options from driver setup that you do NOT want [NEVER install the DCH driver with all audio enhancements installed/checked - that's one reason why they don't work (meaning only install either Sound Blaster, Sonic Studio or Dolby but NOT ALL OF THEM at once - they may conflict with each other)

and another reminder (Alan F should always put this on his github page - disconnect from the internet, when installing his modded DCH Sound driver - never install it while having an open/active internet connection because the Win10 OS may install/re-install the existing Realtek audio driver on some systems and prevent installation of the modded DCH driver)

----

also I'll wait for Alan F to produce a 6.0.9126.1 driver version, which this 9126 version seems to have the newest Dolby SWC components [it's v3.20901.917.0] (newer than what MS has in the Catalog site).

Thanks dude I'll try and let you know!

EDIT: Worked Like a Charm, thanks for everything @erpguy53
Also thanks for your work @Alan Finotty !

I'm also encountering the SPDIF bug with only 2 channels on my ALC1220 [HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_1220&SUBSYS_1462CC35&REV_1001]
Anything I can do to help resolve this for you @Alan Finotty ?

 

[Ferather]

I believe its an issue with stream and mode FX, you disable enhancements to get multichannel. You will loose any enhancements ofc.
