Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

[Katagiri]

The answser is so easy I couldn't believe it, I just tried and bam work like a charm for me.

How did you do that?

 

[Diogo Silva]

I just install without any problems Pal1000 UAD Driver's, but only outputs Stereo and I want Upmix to 5.1 Surround to Creative APO emulate the Surround Sound and working all Speakers. That is, in order to test all Speakers in Realtek Audio Console only outputs sound in Front Speaker. No ouput any Sound in Center, LFE and Rear Channels.
What I should do?
PLEASE HELP ME Guys

How did you do that?

I patched a HDA driver rltkAPO64.dll and renamed it to RltkAPOU64.dll then dropped in windows/system32 in safe mode.

Thanks! I'll give a try and post the results.

EDIT: There's another method that might work, I don't know, I didn't test.
1- Get a pre-patched DLL, There's one here https://www.mediafire.com/file/5tc02foihf429tu/RltkAPOU64.dll/file
2- Open Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Audio
3- Create a new DWORD (32bit) value called DisableProtectedAudioDG with value 1
4- Go to safe mode and copy thee pre-patched DLL to your System32
5- Restart
6- Profit

If it is possible, a little hint how to do it would be wecome .
And i would like to have dolby atmos
Thanks a lot and have a nice day

I patched a HDA driver rltkAPO64.dll and renamed it to RltkAPOU64.dll then dropped in windows/system32 in safe mode.

Finally I had time to test. It worked! You are a genius and nobody is paying attention.

is alanfox2000 aware of that neat trick?

I struggled with my Realtek integrated sound. One of the reasons why i got the high-end top of the line motherboard was the audio separation on the board and less interference from the PCI lanes etc.
Onboard audio is useless.

Got the Creative G6 about 2 months ago and it has been a pleasure.
FPS games where you need to hear footsteps is a bliss now, the difference is night and day. My hyperx cloud alpha headsets, while they don't need an amp to function with the G6 they are truly now the best experience.
When it comes to music i can hear more instruments and the range has opened up

I heard it's a very nice sound card but doesn't fit my needs since I use a headset for voice only, I prefer to listen to my games' sounds withs a good set of speakers, I don't play FPS, I play mostly classic MMOs.

LoL. I tried to tell them!
The trick i have found is to try to have the HDA driver version as close to UAD driver version. I have found too big of gap issues start to arise (system gets confused on which driver is installed, can wind up with a UAD and a HDA installed at once).

Also use the .dll from appropriate type you are installing. Example is my case, I have a Crosshair VI which you want to install Nahmic/ss3 drivers on, so I find the closest ff03 HDA driver to patch.

On alan fox's github page there is matching UAD and HDA drivers right now for 8858, it looks like from your picture that you are using asus Nahmic as well. Here are the links for the drivers I used to install on my system.

I'm sure he is, we talked about it in one of his threads long ago. I'm not sure if he went as far as to trying patching the HDA driver .dll, if I remember correctly he was trying to patch the UAD .dll file.

Odly enough when I tried that method it just wouldn't work. I even tried to take the rltkAPO64U.dll and rename it to rltkAPO64.dll then patch it and rename it back to rltkAPO64U.dll it does not work.

You are right, I'm using Asus Nahmic. I patched the first 2.80 HDA driver I found, it worked without any issues so far. Studio and Radar are working fine.

no sorry Toto.
you need to be using an onboard Realtek HD audio device with hardware vendor IDs beginning with "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC"

the "unlocked" Realtek HD audio drivers are not compatible with any Soundblaster X-FI Fatal1ty card (or any other audio device that is not Realtek)

 

[RooZ]

Hi, anyone have the idea what to do in order to get 5.1 working? I can only select stereo and quadro (which is not working)
Im using analog inputs with Logitech 5.1 system and creative fatality headphones in front inputs.

Asus Prime -Z270-P - ALC887 - Windows 8.1 64bit

Hi. Do you mind being a bit more explicit with what you did? I want to try and make my onboard sound work with DTS/DDL. My motherboard is an ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E with the S1220a audio chip. What latest drivers did you install, can you point me to them? Do I just drop your patched dll in safe mode after installing the drivers and the option should appear in the audio control panel if I understand correctly.

My sound card, Sound Blaster Zx, is having issues with channels going quieter than others (probably because it's installed in a pcie x4 slot but I can't use the only x1 I have on this mobo atm). So if I can have DTS and/or DDL with the onboard sound chip via optical out, I can remove the sound card and not worry about the sound issues I'm having right now anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: added my correct onboard audio chip model.

Hello! I installed the latest UAD drivers for my board from Asus website, it will work for you because we have the same board. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z370-E-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/
After that I downloaded the first HDA 2.80 drivers I found here https://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/18007/
And unzipped it and followed bottlefedc83's instructions here https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...-live-and-dts-interactive.193148/post-4175039
You can find the patch here https://www.mediafire.com/file/vjam...und.driver-patch-(pass_is_'realtek').zip/file the password is realtek
Don't worry if your antivirus thinks it's a virus.

So I was able to patch the file and install, rename, safemode, etc. I now have DDL5.1 and DTS Interactive 5.1 as options.
Seems all this does is make my receiver display DD5.1 or DTS5.1, it does not actually work. I hear no sound at all through any other channels besides stereo. I tried playing the windows test sound and get nothing but tones on right and left channels, it doesnt even try the rest of the channels. I also tried some games and get the same and surround actually dissappeared from the game menu, displays correctly on receiver but very apparent the surround channels are empty.

If you are doing the UAD method, you should not patch and install.

 

[hotrippr]

Sorry if I wasnt clear. Here is what I did:

1. Downloaded and installed latest driver from Gigabyte.
2. Downloaded Sound patch and R2.82 used that to patch and rename like this person did "I patched a HDA driver rltkAPO64.dll and renamed it to RltkAPOU64.dll then dropped in windows/system32 in safe mode"
3.Restarted

What am I doing wrong?

Try to patch the 2.80, I used the one I linked and it worked.

 

[hotrippr]

Sorry, I actually had the 2.80 patched not the 2.82 but I tried yours and it is not working. I also tried to patch 2.82 and all give same result. I also made the registry entry you mentioned it your early post.

 

[Katagiri]

I can't think what could be causing the issue. Both bottlefedc83 and me have Asus mother boards, maybe this method doesn't work with your chip?

 

[hotrippr]

Yes, that is what I was thinking. Maybe this chip just wont work.

Thanks. I will give that a try in a couple of hours when I get home. The patched file you mentioned in the post with your screenshot works on different systems? I already downloaded that one and I have the latest drivers from Asus page ready to install.

To summarize: install asus drivers, patch file or use yours, drop it in system32 in safe mode, reboot. Will post back when I try it.

Yes, it's supposed to.

 

[ajua]

Yes, it's supposed to.

Thanks again. Will try yours first since it worked for you and we have the same mobo. One last question, what kind of stereo sources have you tested? So I can check similar ones to make sure I'm getting stereo to 5.1 encoding.
