Hello ! I successfully installed the package but I'm not sure what to use ? SB Connect / Dolby Atmos / Nahimic ? Should I enable all 3 of them (they are enabled by default) its kinda crazy 3 sound processing at the same time ? I've set them to gaming mode but I'm afraid if all 3 are active and running that I will actually downgrade my sound in games ?

Does this drivers allow to bass control like in drivers from xonar dx?
For example:
In xonar dx drivers was settings where I can set range of frequency for subwoofer

I tried with the FX configurator, but dolby atmos and dts still have no effect on audio processing
Use clean reg dolby and dts Delete registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DTS and delete folder C:\ProgramData\DTSAudio before installation apo driver

Is ALC1220 supported with these drivers? if so what might be the reason why it shows line-in or the mic not plugged in after installing them?

It showed up with normal ms hd audio drivers and other realtek drivers but these ones for some reason show the line-in as disconnected. sorry if I'm missing obvious information, there is a lot to go through in this thread

Hello. So I have a new X570 mobo with a realtek s1220a that didn't come supporting Dolby or DTS. Big purchase mistake.

Anyway, when I install AlanFinotty1995's drivers I don't get any change in output options.

Previously, I had installed drivers including multiple versions of AAF and different versions of mobo mfgr's and realtek's. Eventually, somehow after installing in a random order, I had the option for Dolby Digital 5.1 output and everything worked great with that.

I had to restore a backup that was made prior to getting Dolby 5.1 to work. I am trying to duplicate that feat, but no luck.

During the AAF install, I can see one of the prerequisite or package installs failing but it goes by too fast to see it. I have tried both Sideload and Developer mode (Win 10 1903)

Any ideas?

Hi, can someone help me enable spdif output on a Realtek ALC887 the motherboard does not have spdif pin header, but I managed to solder a wire to the spdif pin on the IC. I don't get any signal on that pin and in windows can't select digital output (not showing up), is there any way to enable that output because in the datasheet is says that spdif is supported but has to be activated, If anyone could make a driver what enables this output I appreciate it .
This is the Hardware ID :

Hi,
my english is unfortunately very bad sry. For my ROG Maximus XI FORMULA motherboard I'm looking for the X-FI drivers for the Realtek ALC1220 codec with SupremeFX onboard soundcard. I can't see through it anymore, could you help me and post download links?
I want my Creative Labs Inspire 6.1 speaker to deliver the same sound everywhere while listening to music. UpMix Mode with Sonic Studio3 works unfortunately very badly and only the center speakers come out the voices, would like as said that from all speakers the same comes out, is that possible?

Seems upmix is working properly. Do you ever watch 5.1 movies? Voices nearly always go from the center speaker.
What you want is hard, you need to configure to first send a mono signal, then to copy that signal to all speakers.

Thanks for the answer.
I had the X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro before, but it doesn't fit into my new motherboard anymore, there it worked so I could listen to music and the same sound came out of all the speakers, with the Realtek ALC1220 codec with SupremeFX it doesn't work anymore. I could also use the X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro with Magix Samplitude x4 to control all speakers at the same time so that the same sound came out of all speakers. I don't watch movies with it, but I play 3d-Shooter with 5.1, the surround sound also works there.

With my notebook I have two possible digital outputs - HDMI and SPDIF Optical. Obviously Realtek-based audio since I'm posting here (Creative Sound Blaster Cinema is advertised on the notebook) and nVidia graphics.

Previously I've used some of the drivers posted here to get various surround options via the SPDIF Optical to my receiver. These work - but now that I've upgraded my display to 4k my CPU is having to work harder to keep up with the GPU - and I can tell the audio processing is a factor.

I can simply enable DTS or Dolby (at the moment I've done DTS) and that takes the load off - but now for gaming purposes I have essentially downgraded to stereo sound. Which processor/driver/encoder options would be suggested to regain surround with minimal CPU involvement? Obviously my previous Creative+Nahimic+Dolby+DTS was a bit much...

Greetings.
Is there any mod driver version without any dependency of the microsoft store packages? (this called UWP, if i'm correct - my win10 ltsc 1809 seems can't apply them, tried almost all solutions)
Thanks in advance)
p.s. my chip is Realtek ALC1150 (motherboard Z170 Extreme6)

Search for HDA mods; and don't use Atmos mods, which use UWP packages.
If there is Dolby Digital Plus, that you can use.

@DarknessStorm
The emergence of this error is due to the fact that this driver package does not have the digital signature. So you need to activate the test mode or disable driver signing enforcement.

This didn't work either
(i applied theese commands bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

Also i tried to set Ignore to Code signing for device drivers entry in Local Group Policy Editorand the result with error was the same..

Tried several drivers from here: Realtek by Alan Finotty 6.0.1.8176.7z - dolby didn't work completely, uninstalled. then: Realtek Driver with SRS Premium Sound.zip - SRS tab was fully inactive, uninstalled. and then Realtek Drivers with DDL & DTS Connect with Sound Blaster X-Fi MB5 1.00.19. having some glitch: there's no speakers in MB5 config and because of that (or maybe because of driver version?) i have no
sound in rear left/right channels)
If you can link fully-deployable driver (s) for my chip-this will be awesome;) (and some instructions with installation, because some drivers need manual activation/copy-paste activated files or etc.)

ok i tried "modded_realtek_hda_8409_WIN10_64_dolby_dts_sbx720_eqapo_06042018" (followed instructions)
with DTS audion(installed, but didn't work); EqualizerAPO (the same) and Creative Sound Blaster X720 (same, didn't worked, shows me "you have no sound device connected")
and have another problem, my audio is 5.1, but there's no 5.1 config in my speakers setup (only stereo/7.1). ok cheked 7.1, calibration shows all speakers work (i think so) but there's no sound at rear channels in all apps. So... that's why i asked the link to the modded and fully working HDA driver for my chip (realtek 1150) (without any UWP)
or is there any way to make 5.1 setup working without another uninstalling and searching for another driver?

I bought the SB AE-5 (123 Euros), honestly the sound card is very good.

I have dual boot, windows 7 Professional, and windows 10 Pro; in both of them it goes great, although in windows 7 I have it with the sound console for the AE-5 (similar to 720), and in windows 10 with the console for the SB Command.

We all know that for SB 720/AE-5 "YES" uses the kga files to activate all the functions of this console, but the SB Command "DOES NOT use" ANY kga files; At least I don't see any in the original folder where the kga creates any sound card known to creative by all of us.

So I installed the sound mod, and when I change the settings there is no difference for whatever setting I use, even for all of them any help?
I also use a USB so I can connect both of my headphone jacks to my laptop, also I tried using both USB, and Realtek High Definition Audio, still no difference for whatever setting I use.

Get the USB out. Connect via onboard jack.
