@Alan Finote sorry for asking aghain, b ut i have still the problem with SB showing this blue box "not able to connect" even it worked before. I deinstalled again and installed and so on, everything else working. Only using dindows fdefender, even disabled that for installing. Do you have any idea what could stop sb to connect to the card? Or do i have to do any other modding and missed someething? The strange thing is it worked right afger a clean installation but after i installed my apps and tools and did some reboots, it does not connect again. Thx alot in advice!

Just as an idea, but could it have something to do with this 2 more audiodevices? I dont use Audio with Displayport so i disabled both

Hi! @Alan Finote
First of all, congratulation for your AMAZING work.

Is there any way to reduce the output volume? Since I installed the driver, the sound is very, very loud. It seems like my laptop speakers are going to explode if I go up from 1/3 of the windows volume control bar. The same happens if I listen through my headphones.

I tried changing dB values inside General -> Default volume in the Realtek Audio Device Tweak, but nothing seems to happen.

Thanks in advance!

On startup there is an Event Viewer error.

MBFilt service cannot be started because it is disabled or it has no devices associated with it?

How do you remove the MBFilt service?

Please reply ASAP as we don't have much time for a refund

The MBfilt service (Creative Audio Filter Service) is, together with the APO libraries, responsible for the functions of Sound Blaster Connect (360°, 720°). If you remove it, you will not be able to take advantage of these functions, but if it is an emergency, just open REGEDIT, go to "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services" and delete the "MBfilt" key.

Maybe i am to stupid but, maybe i do something wrong that even latest version does not connect to soundcard (SB 720 AND Rog Sonic Studio) but do i always have to do the modifications with Realtek Audio Device Tweak on the first page, even i can choose dts allready ( Realtek ALC1220(A) should be on my Mainboard or do i have to to any other modifications instead of just installing the drivers?

Uninstall it and check to see if there are any Realtek driver residue left on your system. To do this, use DriverStore Explorer (RAPR). Once this is done, restart your computer and try again to install the mod.

I removed the mod, restarted, removed everything related to Realtek Audio and Waves, restarted and checked if Windows installed some new audio driver instead of the generic one, installed the mod, restard and no sound again.

I reinstalled the original driver from Dell's website, installed yours over it, and now it's working, before, at audio controllers, was showing AAF Optimus Sound, now it's showing Realtek (R) Audio like the original one, but with you as a vendor, Atmos and Sonic Studio working here fine.

Something weird happen,

When I install the new version 8960.1, the Realtek HD Audio Manager dont load but nahimic work and the most important for me is that AEC work too but the driver instead of AAF Optimus Sound is Realtek (R) Audio

Then i uninstall and reinstall this driver mod, Realtek HD Audio Manager work, nahimic work but AEC dont. Driver is AAF Optimus Sound

Im thinking that Realtek HD Audio Manager or the new drivers break the AEC (idk about other enhancements)

A-Volute Multi APO Control Service is running but Sonic 3 is not working .
Uninstall(Used RAPR to remove all realtek drivers) and reinstall many times.
Also it is strange that I downloaded Nahimic fom Windows Store and it will work.

Just install the drivers.
Ok, did that, but cant get Rog or SB720 to connect to the soundcard. Well will tryy the latest 3 minutes old driver, maybe i have luck with that. Thanks so much for your work!

@Alan Finote: Latest Version still the same :-( could it be that i use Optival Out only and do not have connected anything else to the soundcard? Any other trouble shooting, logs, anything i could do to help get this and SB720 blue button "not connecting" fixed?

Many many thanks for this awesome solution to my problems. I can now watch 5.1 through my notebook to my logitech Z906. The indicator shows "ENCODE" or something and it's true surround. I had to go to sound settings, and for the SPIDF change to DTS or DOLBY.

My question, how do I prevent the bloody realtek and nahimic from installing their own driver after every restart? If I am connected to the internet the drivers are being replaced and I have to remove them again and install your package again,

I tried to disable automatic driver updates but it doesn't work. Any solution?

@Alan Finote I got things to work since my last post (finally). I followed the last Spoiler: IF NO EFFECTS ARE WORKING and all is good. I once again have Dolby Digital 5.1 surround while playing games! Many thanks!! :rockout:

@Alan Finote how can I stop realtek and nahimic from updating themselves? After a restart or whenever my internet is open, your good drivers are being automatically replaced by the lousy drivers and I lose the surround option. Thanks for your solution.

Only one issue now: ASIO driver is missing, although I've checked it in the installer. Foobar2000 doesn't detect it, also Winamp and AIMP. Can someone check also and provide feedback about it?

In the DCH version, the ASIO driver has been temporarily removed.

Also is there any possibility to manually install ASIO for Realtek? :p
By the way, I used the Standard version, I hate DCH :D

Hi Alan,

With the DCH drivers it looks like Sonic is eating a lot of CPU resources to the point that lag happens in games. Did the install 3times, no problems when selecting Nahimic, but Sonic creates this issue, not sure what the cause is.
