no Diogo. not possible for ALL Creative apps to work at the same time and recognize your Realtek audio device!
I know from experience. SBX 720 will recognize Realtek device but SBCinema2 won't work because of "too many KGA" files present in SoftwareLock folder and cause conflicts. I figured this out a few months ago.

Creative SB Cinema apps like SBCinema1, Cinema2 & Cinema3 HATE too many KGA files (and other Creative apps like SBX720)! And hence the "No Supported Audio Device Available" error message when running SB Cinema.

For X-FI MB5 to run have only this KGA file present in SoftwareLock folder (remove other KGA files and other Creative apps)

View attachment 102447

For SBCinema3 (not Cinema1/2/5 or other version present), have only THIS KGA file present (remove other KGA files and other Creative apps)

For SBCinema2 (not Cinema1/3/5 or other version present), have only THIS KGA file present (remove other KGA files and other Creative apps)

View attachment 102449

See the pics? I only use ONE Creative software at at time and I stick with it. NO NEED to run/use SBX720 & SBCinema at the same time, which leads to disaster.
People need to learn right away that having all those KGA files stored in SoftwareLock folder will not make older Creative apps like SBCinema and X-FI MB5 recognize Realtek audio device when using newer Realtek audio drivers.
You discovered what KGA file is compatible with Sound Blaster Connect 2?
Thank you!

If u want full installation instructions, here it is. (for alan's one or whatever)
1. Disable Secure Boot in BIOS and boot into windows. ( Turn off ur computer, enter bios "Del" or "F2" key usually)
2. open cmd and type (or copy and paste)
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
3. Restart
4. Install driver through Device Manager ( setup.exe will fail)
5. Through Device Manage, locate Sound, video and game Controllers and 2x click ur audio device (Realtek High Definition Audio /High Definition Audio Device)
6. Go to Driver tab and click Update Driver. Choose Browse my computer for driver software. Again Choose Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer.
7. Click Have Disk button. Click Browse and locate the HDXMB3H.inf file. (from where u downloaded, ususally in Win64 folder, sometimes that file may be HDXRT or HDXRT4.inf)
8. Open it and click Ok, Next and when prompt choose "Install this driver software anyway"
9. When finished, If windows ask for restart, Restart it. If not go on.
10. Install Softwares of ur choice (i assume u r using alan's one)
11. Before installing Creative SBX720, disable antivirus first.
12. Before installing UWP app, enable Developer mode in windows settings (Settings>Update & Security>For developers)
13. Then install one Dolby UWP app (Only one app will work at a time) if u prefer desktop Dolby, skip this.
14. When installing Dolby UWP app, don't install it directly. There is Add-AppDevPackage file, right click it and choose Run with PowerShell. When prompt choose "Yes" or "Yes to all" always.
15. Install DTS software (DTS is only for movies, if u want to listen musics with DTS, u need headphones to use DTSX)
16. open cmd again and type (or copy and paste) these. (this is for disabling test mode, if u don't want to disable test mode, skip)
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
17. Restart and test ur sound.
That's all.. :)

PS: U can grab softwares from here too..

Are you using desktop version of Sonic Focus?
Sonic Focus II or III use Nahmic dll.
The APO Driver (Nahmic dll) is for for Nahmic UWP app.

FF03: with Nahmic dll

Realtek HD Audio Driver 8459 (Win10 Win7) x32 x64 FF03
http://www.mediafire.com/file/z7xizb1r2913q5a/8459_FF03_PG467_Win10_RS1_RS2_RS3_RS4_Win7_WHQL.zip
I installed too Sonic Studio UWP app, but I can't open the program, it closes.
If I install the Realtek Audio Driver compatible with Sonic Focus III and then if I upgrade the APO Driver, will Creative's programs work as well? (example: SBX 720 or SB X-FI MB5)
Right?
Sorry my bad English.

I can only get Dolby Atmos to work when there's no drivers installed on my computer. If I keep my realtek drivers installed, the dolby atmos app says it can't find my drivers. Does anyone know how to solve this? I tried cleaning registry and reinstalling.

still cpu high problem?

Unfortunately, Yes, this issue should be addressed by Creative, they can only solve it

I will give you temporary solution, see below
----------------------------------------------------------------

UWP Service utilizes 25% of CPU, use sbc5 when required, see instruction below

Searh for 'Services' from search box on Desktop, Open services, Right click on 'UWP RPC Service'

Select 'Proporties', Set Startup type to - Manual, apply & ok

When you want to use SBC5, Open Task Manager, go to services, right click on 'UWPService', click on 'Start'

To stop, right click on UWPService, click on 'Stop'
