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

[Mark Draconian]

@scyto No mine is just ALC887 from Gigabyte AB350M-DS3H V2

 

[Arczi256]

After installing this drivers I can no longer play BF2042 with Easy Anti Cheat. It says "Untrusted system file (C:\Windows \System32\vcruntime140.dll)"
In properties of this file it says "Digital Signature AAF Optimus". So i imagine that this driver broke something.

not my experience at all it has worked since the day I got it doing output of DDL or DTS connect over SPDIF to my Logitech Z5500 - i assure i have no alog cables connected at all
maybe your confusion is you have to (confusingly) pick speakers as the output in window - but it routes that over spdif (not the speakers, yeah, i know it makes no sense, lol, here is the screen short with the confusing instructions) basically speakers is the whole device - i have no idea why they did it this way.

I also recommend this if using the SBZ nicojeske/MasterVolumeSync (github.com) and this is good for anyone else who wants SPDIF to never truncate sound Sound Keeper v1.3.0 [2022/07/28] — VEG.BY

@Mark Draconian and you have a board with ALC4082?


Do you have a 3 slot GPU? If so i found the fix to that was to use a 4090 with a AIO cooler (joke, i was getting the GPU already and have another spare slot if i needed it)


Did you get it working with DTS Connect / DDL? If you did can you tell me what to install / not install in terms of items in the AAF installer options and do i need the additional creative installers he links to in his profile?

Oh and too finish this off topic post - i actually bought a SB1500 on ebay that was pre-owned - oddly it came boxed and with all the accessories and had never been used....

It's > 3 slot gpu. Already using the bottom slot for another pci-e card. No luck getting DTS connect / DDL working. Also tried an earc splitter so I could potentially get sound that way without having a phantom monitor in place to output to the old AV receiver but whilst EARC was picked up by the TV, it wasn't able to get any more than 2 channel sound either.

The SB1500 does look like a tempting option (under £60 from amazon at the moment after discount), but I wonder if an external USB card like the x4 will be a better long term investment.

When testing I found that too - the file is part of the visual c++ runtimes. I ended up removing the AAF pack and installing it manually - the link below is the best one to use so you get the latest.

@AAF Optimus Any Fixes I Tried Safe Mode And Driverstore And Few Other Thing Still No Luck Any Fixes Or Ideas No Rush Just Tired Of Troubleshooting Litrally Everything Why Is Nothing Bug-free In The First Place!

EDIT: No Offence Just Sleepy And Tired Dont Take It In The Wrong Way

 

[xenowxd]

Like what? What were the results? Errors?

You sure it isnt "I tried nothing and everything has failed."?

Well I Tried Maybe Use A Different Mod While AAF Optimus Fixes This Issue And Please Elaborate What Does "I Tried Everything And Didnt Work" Means

Nahimic was working fine but one of 10.xx.xx versions nahimic didnt work
I uninstall AAF with BCUninstaller and install again older and latest versions and use driver store also to remove any residual files but every thing is fine except Nahimic and i tried sonic studio but also didnt work
every time i uninstall AFF i use BCU and Driver store Explorer

First Try An Older Version Of This Mod or Like I Said Use A Different Mod, Then If No Version Works And You Want This Mod Then Post Here I'll Send A Script To Use It Basically Deletes Extra Files Like From Previous Installs, I Would Send It Now But I'm Not On My Computer Rn So Yeah, And Here's The Link To The Other Drivers, This Link From @Jimmy9303 I Did Not Make It,
Hope It Works.

I finally got 5.1 working through to my old receiver. Sharing in case others are trying to do the same thing with USB based realtek devices (ALC4080 / ALC4082). I gave up with the pack because of not being able to make it do encoding in real time and I think this is a limitation with these devices for now.

I instead got a HDMI splitter (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083JVPXDY) that would output to the 4k TV at 60hz and an older AV receiver that cannot support 4k60hz at the same time. I did need to change the EDID a bit with CRU to enable more formats which seems to work well with uncompressed audio at higher quality.

Note: The AAF pack and other similar solutions worked great on a previous motherboard - for most of you it will work well. Thanks for the hard work on this!

Hello. Im installed newest version for Realtek Audio, now i have a problem with sound quality. My last version from November worked good but now ale times when im doing fresh install sounds too strong, you can hear the effect of pollution and strong boost. Windows 11. I checked all the effects, they are set as before. I've also noticed that this happens when I install Sonic Studio 3. Unfortunately, the earlier version also has this problem. What is wrong??

Edit: Disable DTS-X Ultra forked for me, now audio is perfect. For ALC887 i prefer max 10.11.2347.9452.

 

[MichiW]

whats the difference between These two?

DTS Interactive
Realtek Patch DDL/DTS

 

[Metal-Tom]

whats the difference between These two?

DTS Interactive
Realtek Patch DDL/DTS

The one above means only DTS, and the other means both DDL + DTS

 

[Metal-Tom]

Hi @AAF Optimus, did already you hear from ReFS? Microsoft is trying about to integrating it into Windows 11 at the Dev-Insiders-Builds

 

[Manish4586]

Mic volume is too low on asus x570-f gaming motherboard. I have just installed the realtek console as i don't like audio quality of ss3.
Can someone help me out?

So i've tried every option this pack gives and found what's best for me - Nahimic with volume stabilizer. Thing is i need volume stabilizer or compressor for my ears to feel good after long playing sessions.
Default realtek drivers loudness equalization is worse, too spiky. SB, Atmos and Sonic have similar feature but it's not as resposive as in Nahimic and sound quality feels really bad.

Thank you for that awesome package!

what this mean?

good luck figuring out any of the instructions, they are obtuse and inscrutable to us that have never got it working - given i have yet to see anyone on these boards get the USB connected realtek device working on z590, z690 or z790 with DTS or DD encoding i suspect we have variants not supported by the USB pack, but i don't know that for sure as i have never seen an answer in over 200 posts... of WTF does one do to get DD or DTS working on what we have, i am hoping for the day someone writes a step-by-step docs - should be easy 10 min job for someone who knows, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if you value your time just get a SB X4 USB (does DD) device or SB Z SE card (does DD and DTS).
