Installed correct,but after install device manager show generic hd audio and speakers/spdif doesnt apear in sound cp.

Same here. My installation process got some errors but at the first try it worked, then I managed to test some others versions of this driver and now this last version is not working, same issue as you.

I just want to DDL for optical connection, and with some drivers it works, but the headphone audio stays unbalanced to the right side, really annoying.

Do you need only an EQ? or anything else?

Nothing else. Just the old Realtek control panel. Has to be an old driver.

Thanks a lot. It's closer, but still does not work. The SounzReal do not work, and Creative Connect does not recognize my device. I have asked @Alan Finote for help because it seems that he packaged this driver, but he cannot figure it out either. Not even @Dj Urko has replied to my query, so I think I need to give up

Try APO driver.
Use your stock realtek driver for all procedures.
Install APO Driver without any options; we are going to try some things with FX configurator (start menu-APO Driver-Fx Conf..)
Open it and see whether the active endpoint is listed in the top window. If the wrong endpoint is selected, select the proper one.
See whether the left window display this:

If it is not displayed, you have a simple problem: realtek effects are not being applied.
Open product config tool in the right window and apply realtek system effects - hda.
Check sound control panel->realtek hd device (or similar name for your device) ->enhancements tab.
You will find an EQ there.
If is is similar, you have a bigger problem: realtek disabled EQ completly for your device.
APO driver can be used to install a specific APO. Do report if there is still problem or if an APO needs to be installed, and I or someone else shall try to help you.

First question: where do I find this APO driver and any other software you are mentioning? My system is Win10 x64. Chip is ALC298.

@Alan Finote ,
How are you,I hope and pray OK.
I am waiting for DTS HEADPHONE X & DOLBY HP.
I presume you must be Busy with your work.
Anyway I will wait for your New creation.
Thanks

GOOD RESORT!!!!!!!!!

i Tried your driver on my Asus MAXIMUS VII GENE Realtek 1150 driver installed fine .. creative software installed fine too... even the Dolby Digital Home Theatre installed .... HOWEVER .. it fails to produce any sound out the Optical port and i cannot see DTS Interactive or Dolby as selectable as audio output ...seems it was stuck as the lowest 16 bit CD output and even clicking windows test tone was just greeted with windows failed to play test tone error.

with that said this is the first driver i have managed to get to actually install since asus own beta driver like 7993 ...even official drivers and windows 10 upgrade process normally bluescreen with rtkvhd64.dll/.sys and i have to install/upgrade with just generic High Def Audio driver .. Keep up the good work thou only driver that seems to work but locked out of things is ASUS 7969_PG452_HDAudio

It simple,get a DAC.

@ Juggler
1.Go to C/Windows/System 32 / Drivers and find rtkhdaud.dat and delete it.
2.Dl DDU and completly remove realtek driver with it
3.after that restart and install again driver which i posted

 

[ifpmaximus34]

i fixed it myself,deleted some registry of hidden stuff that are active like srslabs,intelsss,dtsapo,dolby,a-volume,nahimic even tho i pressed no at begining of installaion it still installed them,now it dosent add strange effect,can use amplification without the effects,i think alan has to update to disable the hidden stuff many are passive active causing strange sounding that cant be disabled without removing reg keys.Also its true i need a dacamp combo,but this was last try,tho the amplification does nothing to increase volume the extreme setting is the already max my onboard audio can do,but can decrease it which is useless in my case,at least i tryed it and found bugs which alan can fix for other users.

I was able to deal with my problem, I finally installed the latest version. But unfortunately in games the sound wheezes and stutters. Maybe smb can help with it?

Add this in property field:

Click "apply effect & processing mode configurations"
Then Restart Windows Audio Service.
You should find the enhancement tab now.

Ok. Now Option 2 must be used: Install an APO.What do you like?
APO with EQ that I know:
Equaliser APO
Dolby APOs
Soundblaster APOs
What would you like?

It would be nice to get Dolby with an equalizer. Otherwise just a plain, simple equalizer will do. No fancy stuff like Creative Connect 2. I don't play any games at all.

Or even better: Try to integrate a Switch to enable Dolby or DTS full Enhancements over the selected Output-Mode. In Example, I can't set in my TosLink-Output Dolby Digital AND Dolby Atmos for Headphones at the same time ;-( Only yesterday by randomly Time I've reached this Result, so my AVR could spread the Music's Sound to all 7.1 Speakers around... Now I tried to reach the same Effect again, without Success... ;-(

An additional Problem-Case: As I got last Weekend to setup my PC new, with a Clean Install, I could see/hear, that the analogue 7.1 Audio-Output rans with generic MS-Standard-Audio-Driver in full range of all 8 Speakers by selected Passthrough on AVR. Afterwards the Realtek Driver-Setup, the Center/Subwoofer-Jack (orange) & the Side-Surround-Jack (grey) on my ALC892 are shown as faded out in the HD-Audio-Manager, they're also seems to be disconnected, in Case, as they're really plugged correctly in...

Who can help me please? The Cables (Stereo-RCA/Stereo-Jack x4) are new from Shop

Try Dolby Digital Plus.
Go to start menu->APO driver->maintainence driver
Add Dolby DS1 and install.
Go to Fx Configurator.
Click Product config tool; select Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater Analog
Install this.
Open Dolby Digital Plus in start menu->dolby
Play audio then configure a proper EQ in the clickable Frequency spectrum window.

You are a king! Everything seems to be working, so thanks for that! Now for the last thing. Can I apply the same process to any version of the Realtek driver? And any other APO add-on? And is there a way of automating the whole process by packaging the mix of drivers into a single install? Thanks once again! It has been nearly 2 months of failing experiments

Dolby Digital Plus is one of the easiest to apply; this is why I proposed you with DDP.
This procedure works with everything, including USB audios, soundcards, etc.
Drivers are in APO driver; control app is separate.

OK I understand. So it's not possible to package all the different installs into one single package? If that's the case, no problem. I will write down all the steps and keep all install files in a folder with the instructions.

@Alan Finote
It's time to make the process of installation of APOs selectable. Not everyone needs all APOs available in this world at the same time. Conflict bugs can arise with so many APOs.

Edit: Also each APO increase latency. High latency: Crappy experience in games.

This is possible but will require a lot of time.
