Will this driver work on win7 and let me mirror the front speakers to the rear speakers in a quadrophonic setup? And with mirror I mean an exact copy of the front speakers and non of the distorted crap that the default Realtek drivers are sending to the rear speakers when enabling speaker fill.
I have an ASRock Z77 Pro3 with an ALC892 codec. I don't use any of the 5.1/7.1/Dolby/DTS whatever stuff. Don't even know what half those things I can see in the screenshots mean

. I have just two small front active speakers connected that I use all the time and two additional bigger speakers with their own amp connected to the rear outputs that I power on (they are always connected to the jack, even when off) when listening to music or watching a movie, because they make the loud noise

. I have no problem with this setup with sources that use surround (movies and games) and sound is coming out of all four speakers the way it should. But with stereo sources the back speakers are either silent or, if I enable speaker fill or one of the environment settings like "room", output a heavily distorted audio with echo and some frequencies just missing, making speakerfill pretty much useless. The same thing worked fine with a VIA audio chipset I had before. This seems to have been a problem with Realtek drivers for almost a decade know, what I have seen from searching for a solution and has never been fixed. At first I switched the speaker plugs when listening to music, but having to get behind the computer every time for that became old soon. I got a small switch now allows me to switch the front or rear Realtek output to the rear speaker (in essence a poor man's speaker fill). But that's still annoying, because it's another wire hanging around. I'm quite close to building a small active dongle that does the switching automatically just by "listening" to the rear output. Electronics are easier to do than trying to fix software that you didn't write yourself

Enough of the rant.
When installing this driver can I prevent all the "enhancements" from being installed? I don't need (or even want) anything else as what the default basic Realtek drivers are offering. None of the environment effects, none of the room correction, definitely no dolby/DTS, sounzReal, voizReal, soundblaster 720, Samsung soundalive, nahamic (as I said I have no idea what those things even are). The equalizer is maybe the most "advanced" feature I need, but even that is something I never touched, because I change those setting on the speakers themselves.
