Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers for Windows 10 (Dolby Digital Live/DTS Interactive)

[gaywallet]

EDIT: The stock ALC1200 drivers from ASRock do this too. Z5500 speakers with a Monoprice SPDIF cable if that means anything.

I hate to be "that guy" (who signed up just to say something doesn't work quite right) but...something doesn't work quite right.

ALC 1220 on an ASRock X470 Taichi non-Ultimate.

There's a slight audio lag before any sound plays for the first time. For example, if I click on the volume icon and change the volume, about a second will pass, then I might or might not hear a tone. Then, if I change the volume again quickly I hear either half a tone or the full tone from Windows.

This also applies to other audio (MP3s, MKVs etc).

This is a problem with nearly any audio card and an optical connection. The only fix I'm aware of is to run an inaudible noise 24/7 while the computer is running. I've tried using registry edits to change the sleep time on the card and it didn't help.

GOOD RESORT TO ALL

Hi Alan!

Thumbs up for your work. The driver itself is working, but my "issue" is that no "Manage Tool" comes up in the taskbar, like seen in your Attachment 109750.

I tried to (dirty) install your files over my old MSI driver but this didn't work, so I uninstalled everything again and made a clean re-install. Now I am using only the Windows tools to manage my sound devices, but a manage tool like shown in your picture would be great!

Thanks for your help

Regards

Now that I've established myself as the town dunce, another question: Am I missing something or are these effects not present? (This is the ASRock driver.)

Hey @Alan Finote ,

I'm getting a bunch of files created in %user%\appdata\local\temp - in particular crash dump files. They all start with PRODUCT_NAME_UNKNOWN_CrashDumpPRODUCT_VERSION_MAJOR_UNKNOWN-PRODUCT_VERSION_MINOR_UNKNOWN. While I don't particularly care that they are being created, the exact path to the temp file gets stored in the clipboard and these damn things come practically constantly.

Checking online, it appears it has to do with the driver version - apparently older realtek drivers do this. Stock drivers (8560, for example) don't cause this issue for me.

Can you fix?

Hey Alan,

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately this does not fix my issue. No output types are supported with these drivers, and there is still no sound in windows.

It also did not fix the issue of PRODUCT_NAME_UNKNOWN... dump files.

EDIT2: NahimicService.exe and NahimicSVC32.exe realtek executables are the source of the issue. If NahimicSVC32.exe crashes, you need to kill NahimicService.exe or you get this spammed.
EDIT3: The offending app was sonic studio 3. Uninstalling this app fixed the nahimic service crash issue.

Thanks so much for these drivers! I installed without any errors and everything looks to be correct. In device manager I see it as Realtek ALC BlasterX 720 HD audio. Sound blaster connect 2 will launch but it seems like no matter what I do, I hear no difference. I've also tried using creative alchemy to see if it made a difference. When I installed the driver it asked something about DisableProtectedAudioDG and I was unsure which to select. Any ideas on why the enhancements do not work for me? I'm using a Gigabyte GA-990fx-Gaming Rev 1.1 with Realtek ALC1150. Thanks for the help!

Edit: I figured it out! before I downloaded the bundle setup in this post for Sound Blasterx 720. I uninstalled all of that and tried the step by step APO and enhancer install. Thanks!

I have a Clevo laptop, it comes with licensed Creative Sound Blaster. I don't care about it.
What I care about is Dolby Digital Live, and I can't get it to work.
I tried different versions, in one of them i see the option, but it doesn't do anything and I can't choose it.

1. Do you need only DDL, or also DTS?
2. Do you see the supported format tab, and if so, is Dolby Digital or DTS present?

I only need DDL, Since my headset support only Dolby.
I see it, but it no option to choose Dolby or DTS.

One of the drivers worked, but after 15 secs, the audio cracks until i can't hear anything.

What I forgot to mention, before Windows 10 Creative Update, everything was working 100%

If I understand properly, your native driver just have soundblaster software and you need to add only DDL to it?
If so, I would recommend you to use APO driver with some specific configuration to enable only DDL and continuing to use your current driver enhancements.
If you are interested, do reply.

I am using UEFI boot of Windows 10 pro Rs5.
And applied the registry,
But I got a "Device does not support format" error message.
Is there a way to disable test mode and activate DTS, DDL?
Edit:Turning on test mode works correctly.

DDL in SPDiF DTS can be applied to tabs using test mode.
I want to turn off test mode
Can I make the tab work even if I turn off test mode?

Yes, please.
That exactly what I want

I did installed APO driver but I didn't know how to use it.

Hi, I've had a Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 3 for a couple of years with Astro A50's apparently they have been in stereo mode not surround sound because I only have Dolby Digital not Dolby Digital Live, apparently the board runs an AC1150 and the hardware ID is:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0900&SUBSYS_1458A0B2&REV_1000

Which driver do I need to get DDL on this optical port? Thanks,

Hi,
I just want to mention that if you watch a movie or tv shows with video player that support AC3 Passthrough you will still get surround sound except for the LFE channel, which is the major difference between Dolby Digital Live and other types of simulating surround sound.

BTW, I also have Astro A50, but my board is ALC898.

You can try this and hear the difference, if you hear sound when it says LFE, then your sound output working perfectly.

Wow, does it really work?
Can you tell me how to create the tab?

Use APO Driver, select audio by HARMAN, install.
Open FX configurator, select spdif endpoint and use product config tool to apply audio by HARMAN.
Edit: I've just tested it. The HARMN AC3 option doesn't seem to work. Dolby PCEE4 GFX module does still work.
