Going to donate for your hard work since the last years! Thank You.

Also, could you help me to make it work here? Since the last W11 update I just cannot make any realtek from you work here...

I just installed the latest package and this is was the result:

Does this work for the ALC 4080? Cannot get anything to run with my board (seems everything is for non-USB chipset)

Been using different versions of this for years and cannot seem to find anything that is for the 4080.

My motherboard is asus z690-f. Anyone have luck outputting DDL 5.1 with this board or ALC 4080?

Am hoping to output to a soundblaster g6. Any other ideas?

Thanks

@Sonikko, you said you have an ALC 897, but I think you mean 887, the second is 889:

You can do it via SPDIF, analogue not so on 887.

It says 897 in the audio codec info window. I can't find it online either though, weird!

@Sonikko, run 'System Information', then 'Components' then 'Sound Device'. Look for the driver ID, DTS DCH in my case.
In the 'PNP Device ID' there wil be the ALC version, which is 'DEV_XXXX', in my case 'DEV_0889'

Hi Alan i found some problem in my (ALC887) previous versions before i saw the option 48000Hz 24Bits in Stereo Mix, but now is gone and to the Mic too

No icon for SB

No work, I think the problem is because no running the service Creative UWP Host Service in Windows 10

Hi, can i use the driver with AB350M-DS3H V2 (ALC887 codec) and Windows 11?
Gigabyte driver is a bit outdated now (latest from 2020), and the default W11 drivers are from last year. Thanks in advance!

Hello, first of all thanks for the hard work here. Quick question, I've an Asus Strix Scar with default installation options but unchecking creative options. Are Dolby Atmos for Gaming + DTS:X + Sonic Studio 3 all active same time compatible? Any recommendation here of what to enable and when?

Thanks

I have two voices, one is the AAF Optimus driver and it says DEV_0897, while High Definition Audio, the windows stock driver says DEV_2861 (I checked in Driver Explorer but this one doesn't show up as installed, not sure why it shows up here).
The Mobo is an Asus Prime B560m-K

I've chance my mobo to z590 with integrated with spdif realtek usb 2.0 audio. Does this package works with it? I'm trying to install it but I doesn't work.

ATTENTION: This driverpack isn't eligible for USB-based Realtek audio chips.

@Sonikko, noted, I can see some info on ALC 897, but after about 10 minutes, I still don't find the specs for it.
Since it shows for me with the native Microsoft driver, I guess its not detected or not supported.

----

@rid, its a little complicated, but no, 'HDAUDIO' drivers are not compatible with 'USB' interfaces.

@AAF Optimus - I tried the latest version of the driver 6.0.9305.1 on my ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger (ALC 1150 with ESS Sabre 9032 DAC) and encountered some of the issues I faced since 9231.1.

1. DTS Connect cannot be controlled (sometimes works, sometimes does not, turning the switch on/off does not make any difference with my 5.1 ch analog setup)
2. Room correction does not work (persistent issue since 9231.1)
3. Sound Blaster Connect 2 does not save equalizer settings. I tried with a newer version as well from the Creative site and that exhibits the same issue. So not sure if it is a Creative issue.

The last driver that works absolutely perfect is 6.0.9219.1. Everything works perfect. DTS Connect, Sound Blaster Connect everything.
With the latest driver, I did try with and without the preconfigured policy file and experienced the same issues.

Also with the latest driver, the only way to bring DTS Connect is by selecting the tweaked UWP. However on the 9219 driver, it comes just by selecting the normal UWP and DTS Interactive decoder.

Hello.

I want to say thank you for your hard work.
Only with your drivers my subwoofer to start working in stereo mode.

The only thing that darkens the picture. I couldn't get preamp to work with sonic studio .

On your latest drivers (9305) sonic studio starts up fine, but the preamp item is missing in the realtek audio console.
in previous versions, the picture is reversed - sonic studio does not start (time out), but preamp and impedance detection works well.

I really hope for a fix. I can provide all the necessary information and work as a tester if needed.

I sometimes switch between headphones and 5.1 analog audio.

Hi,
Got a driver for win-11 asus that brings back the missing console for tuning equalizer profiles ?
Really sux 11 has borked the realtek drivers
It's funky in 10 but at least it works.

Found this but way to convoluted

{WED} Updating Realtek UAD Audio Drivers - Ed Tittel

I’ve learned the hard way that working with Realtek Universal Audio Driver (UAD) drivers can be interesting. I’ve accidentally switched back from the “Realtek(R) Audio” drivers shown in first screencap for this story to the Realtek HD Audio drivers more than once. But alas, only the “Realtek (R)...

Has anyone tried this on the latest win 11 dev build 22557.1? Since I upgraded from stable, if I enable the aaf dch optimus sound in audio enhancement I lose all bass. It actually sounds like the treble is being raised to maximum with no way to control. Even tried maxing out the bass and lowing treble in all the apps but with the same results. First noticed it on 6.0.9205 then upgraded to 6.0.9305.1 with no change. I'm using headphones plugged in via analog (same results plugged into speakers) ALC899.

The same situation in win10. sometimes the bass disappeared.

 

[Sonikko]

Is there a way to have complete freedom over what jack does what in the latest audio driver? Ever since they switched to the new realtek audio console, if I keep my setup as 7.1, which I need for HeSuVi, I can't use the blue jack as line in cause it's stuck as "side speakers out), which I need for my switch to output audio via my pc speakers, and I can't use the pink jack as mic in in the back panel which is annoying, which is stuck as "center speaker/subwoofer out".
Is there a solution or am I just stuck using the old drivers with the old console?

 

[Ferather]

Normally, you can re-task the ports, if you open the Realtek console, then 'Device advanced settings'.
I have 6 ports at the back for analogue, 4 for 7.1, pink mic and blue in, plus front.

It won't allow me to do that on the new driver, with the blue and pink connectors on the back. They're not greyed out but won't allow me to retask the jack. It is possible on the 6.0.8960.1 driver.
I rolled back to the previous drivers version (6.0.8960.1) which I know has the legacy audio console, and now the 192khz sample rate is also gone from the list, while I'm 100% certain it was there before lol. It's still there with the Windows stock drivers.
