Friend, if I post here a package with all the mentioned improvements (that are many), you will have a series of problems on your machine, including Audio Delay (the answer of the audio comparing with the video, for example, gets too big).

NEW REALTEK DRIVERPACKS RELEASED
UPDATED VERSION TO 6.0.1.8633

Hello Alan,

I tried your driver and it causes problems during the installation already.
- GenKGA.exe does not work anymore (I guess that prevented some important driver installation).

On my Z390 Aorus Pro runs a Realtek ALC 1220-VB and I´m connected via SPDIF.

After the restart even winamp doesnt work anymore.
- Bad directsound driver

Movies/mp3's dont start anymore.
The dts panel does not let me activate dts connect (greyed).
The test of dts interactive says that there is no compatible device but so do all Stereo modes.
Its a pity because all the media panels that my board driver did not supply are finally here, it did even use Gigabyte panels, but I cant get any sound.

Btw. running the installation again is annoying because it tells like 100 (not counted ) times "file xxx is read only. Klick retry if you want to try again". This can be fixed by deleting the "InstallFiles" folder from the Realtek folder though.

Well after that GenKGA.exe error I really did not expect it to work.

edit: tried the 19_02.exe too, same result, the GenKGA.exe stops working. Added a screener of the list so that you can see where it stopped for bug fixing. Interestingly the sound works with the 19_2 version. It was disorted until I found out that Atmos Dolby and the Dolby setting in the device settings was causing that.

The Realtek gui is there along with the equalizer but the equalizer doesnt seem to work. No matter what I´m changing it makes no difference. Nor do soundeffects change the sound (I deactivated all sound effects in your improvement tab) The equalizer in the improvement tab causes jitters though while changing the settings (even if Dolby is off).

Switching between DTS-Interactive 5.1 and Dolby Digital Live 5.1 in the Realtek gui doesnt change it in the system tab. Maybe the GenKGA.exe error caused the problems with the Realtek gui.

16-bit/96000 Hz stereo is disorted beyond recognition all the time. That worked with the original driver.

Actually I just tried this driver because I do not get any surround in games and hoped that would be fixed. All I get is left/right/center/base but the rear boxes remain silent except for music. In rpg's or shooters I hear nothing when something happens behind me which is especially annoying with shooters when you get whacked from behind but dont hear the shots. It was always like that (for me anyways) via optical/SPDIF but I thought they fixed that already since I tried it last time like 15 years ago and had to go back to an analog connection because it sounded so much better in games.

Is there any sound card that actually has surround sound via spdif in games? Afair only the most expensive Creative cards had it but Creative also had the worst drivers and support on the market along with the most expensive soundcards.

My friend, you may have outdated Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime libraries. This causes errors to occur in various programs or games.
Use this executable to update your runtimes and try again

I'll post another driver package tonight in my time zone (GMT-3).

 

[Fred_Vie]

Use this executable to update your runtimes and try again

Thank you Alan. Unfortunately I have the same issue after installing that pack.

With both DTS-Interactive 5.1 and Dolby Digital Live 5.1 all I get is stereo in games which is rather discouraging. If that is normal than an optical connection isnt worth it for gaming.

In my experience over the past few months it has been, no matter how I got 5.1 on the endpoint, is that they don't like having Realtek mode FX applied at all. You can still use other enhancers on mode fx, just remove the Realtek from mode fx at the least. You can do this on any driver you have installed without messing anything up if you have basic knowledge on fx config and etc.

Sorry I dont get it... I didnt read up on computer hardware/software in a decade thats prolly the reason

Guys, I've installed default realtek driver from motherboard dvd, but I'm still having this panel:

There is any way to get default realtek gigabyte panel again, without formating my pc? Thanks in advance.

 

[SoNic67]

I have installed this mod on my Dell Precision T7610 with Realtek HD Audio. As a note, after reboot, I was still having the default MS driver, I had to manually change the driver to use the one with "Autenticode signed". After accepting the warning, everything seems to work OK.

Eae, vou falar em ptbr contigo, tá?

Removi e o painel gigabyte voltou porém perdi o precioso DTS Interactive, então vou manter ele lá mesmo e lembrar de fazer backup para futuras formatações

Eu testei alguns de seus mais recentes drivers porém nenhum deles funcionou corretamente, dai depois de desinstalar e tentar outros, decidi instalar o driver do dvd e de alguma maneira o DTS Interactive ficou disponível. Tentei o RealtekDriver720, tentei o RealtekDriver_2019_02 e o RealtekDriver_2019_03 mas não tive muita sorte, minha placa mãe é uma AX370 Gaming 3 com ALC1220. Tem algum driver recomendado para essa placa? Esse 2019_03 dá alguns erros na instalação, embora a maioria dos apps funcione o que me fez procurar outro driver foi um delay no som (aparentemente o sinal digital só é enviado quando eu começo a tocar algum som e mas agora ele fica fixo sem delay) pelo SPDIF, do jeito que esta agora e com esse arquivo .dat, não tem delay na saída pelo SPDIF.

@Alan Finote : The weird thing is that the number of input jacks with MS drivers was 3. With your drivers was initially reduced to two, and now it remained only one jack available. Any ideas why is that?
Driver ver is 6.0.1.8591, dated 11/19/2018. My HW Id is: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0280&SUBSYS_102805D4&REV_1000

 

[BobaBrett]

When I installed your latest update, Everything seemed to be working fine I installed everything that came in the package. Only two issues I didn't have the preamp selection and I do get it on my Asus Maximus IX code (SupremeFX S1220) stock audio driver. The last one all my audio sounded super loud even when I turned everything off IE Dolby, Creative, ect. It made everything sound muddy even at lower volumes. I did hear changes in each APO app when selecting different ones to play with.

Once again thank you for all the hard work you guys do =)

I have had to do this since moving from windows 8.1 to 10, basically when it broke for everyone.

I attached a copy of a config I have been using to apply DTS connect on non mod driver. You can also look at it and see an example of no Realtek (or any in this example) MFX.
