Exactly my problem here (on Windows 10), have you solved this?

Even if Microsoft fix this trouble after that you have to deal with the IMPOSED "automatic updates"

I hope they release it soon...
At least they accept it is a System bug and not a driver one.

The NVIDIA HDMI audio problem is, if I recall correctly, getting fixed in a new NVIDIA driver due out soon.
As to the DTS Interactive issue, that's on us (Microsoft), not Realtek. The fix is checked in but we need to go through the process of putting it into the update package.
ASAFP, I promise!

And btw, driver updates can be disabled.

Hi,

For that problem i think this is the solution in windows 10:

- Search in the Start menu to "Change device installation settings"
- Select "No , let me choose what to do"
- Place a check mark for "Never install driver software from Windows Update
- Press "Save changes"

This is for the hardware drivers settings in your pc.

Is anyone actually working on a solution for Windows 10? I depend on the DTS Interactive dll hack for all my games, TV, and Movies. I'm certainly not going to give that core functionality I use every day. Im still not sure why an option like this isn't legitimately as a paid license from Realtek/Dolby.

Many of us feel the same.

"I would really like this feature and I'm willing to pay money for it."

"No, we don't want your money. You don't really want that anyway."

The next best alternative (although not ideal) is to spend $87 (plus tax and shipping) on an USB Asus Xonar U7 Sound Card; then, plug and play. The sound fidelity and features should be at least as good as what the realtek chipset has.

got the solution for windows 10 download and install the realtek 32 or 64 bits R2.79 2015/6/25
and use the unlock dll for version R2.75 replace the file in system32
then use "vlc player" to play the movies and set audio to "speakers (realtek high definition audio)"and surround sound is back

This treath reffers to ddl and dts. Spdif passtrough is a whole different story

 

[knightvision]

Does anyone knows this:
On my windows 7 machine i have only dolby digital live enabled with my realtek. (the stock driver when i bought it) works great with 5.1 movies and games true Spdif passtrough.
This machine is also my main movie and game pc. Does this mean that when i watch a movie on it with DTS/HD as example i actually dont hear the real DTS HD sound?
As example does the movie player downgrade my sound from DTS HD to dolby digital live ? Or does this means a total different thing ?

DTS HD can be up to 8 channel and is a lossless codec requiring HDMI, so if you are using a TOSLINK cable and have Dolby Digital Live enabled then it is converting the DTS HD track to compressed Dolby Digital. If you have a receiver that has HDMI input then using an HDMI cable is definitely the way to go.

Also with the HDMI your games can/will use multichannel LinearPCM so there is no need for anything like DTS:I or Dolby Digital Live.

Yeah.. I tried that aswell.. Not working

 

[darkspireULTIMA]

its doing my head in tbh, but after a little reading, theres gonna be a service pack released next wek i think. that might fix it. apparently both microsoft and realtek are aware of the issue.

im actually really enjoying winodws 10. its seems quick... and clean, mostly.
i do love aero though..

1: so my way with Toslink is capable in true dolby digital live and normal DTS with no problem ?

2: Ok my computer is cabled with DVI-to HDMI directly to my tv and not to my receiver. So if i put the hdmi directly to my receiver then its ok ? not a problem that it is a DVI (computer) to HDMI (tv) cable?

3: Why don't i need this unlocked codecs on my pc this way ? is it because the games/movies detects it now from my 5.1 receiver instead? so he dont looks at all if i have it on stereo or dolby live or dts in my realtek settings on pc ?

Ugh.... This Windows 10 bug has been driving me crazy, but it just got worse... (for some of us.) I realize the optical bug in Windows 10 still isn't fixed, but we know it at least recognizes the unlocked drivers. But has anybody gotten it show the unlocked drivers without Test Mode enabled? Because the DisableProtectedAudioDG regedit hasn't worked for me in Windows 10. What sucks about this is that a recent BattleEye update for Arma games won't let you play with Test Mode enabled... Did anybody get it to work on Windows 10 without Test Mode? (minus the bug we're waiting for them to fix...).

I tried ReadyDriver Plus to try to automatically disable driver signature enforcement on boot, but it doesn't seem to work in Windows 10 (as far as I can figure out).

Anybody have any luck (without Test Mode)?

Here's what I did

Open CMD.exe making sure to run as administrator
This starts you in C:\Windows\system32 so that's good
Type "rename RLTKAPO64.dll to RLTKAPO64.dll.old"
You then should be able to drag the unlocked RLTKAPO64.dll file into system32 through File Explorer or use the copy command in CMD.exe to copy it to system32
Reboot
Done

This gives me the option for DDL and DTS but of course the test tone fails due to the current W10 bug.

 

[Jgr9]

But... That's not an issue I'm having. I don't have a problem with getting the file copied. You still need Test Mode on for this method, don't you?

did all that.. waiting for the fix now

Strange the registry entry works for me. My trouble was getting the DLL into the installer to work. Didn't need test mode or anything like that.

 

[Jgr9]

I don't get it... No matter what I do, I cannot get it to recognize the DLL.

I can use the main method of replacing the .sys in the drivers folder (other than the current bug with dolby/dts), but that requires Test Mode.

I think I've tried everything at this point. It's just not showing up when I try the DLL method. (and yes, I fixed the name).

 

[GeneralOctopusNL]

Do you know what is strange? I just upgraded to W10 Pro N, installed the drivers (2.79 + the 2.
75 dll, first install 2.79 then copy the 2.75 dll) and the Dolby Digital Live! is selectable in the Realtek control panel, but playing audio doesn't work.

HOWEVER,,,,,


When I play a test tone, all the test tones sound (except for the WMA, but that's how it was on W8.1) in their respective codec.

No 5.1 trough vlc though.

SPECS:
OS = W10 Pro N
CODEC = ALC 1200
REALTEK BASE VERSION = 2.79
UNLOCK DLL = 2.75
TESTMODE = ON

 

[Jgr9]

Yes, it's been like that since January.

Where is the 2.75 dll anyways? or are you talking about the .sys?

or is it the same one as the 2.71 dll?

 

[GeneralOctopusNL]

In this post is a link to the 2.75 dll. I've put it in %windir%\System32.
Is it sure that Microsoft will fix this bug next week?

 

[Jgr9]

Nobody knows. They've been telling us for months that they're going to fix it. Sure would have been nice if they had fixed it in the updates the other day...

 

[GeneralOctopusNL]

I read a few posts above this one, that a service pack is comming next week. Let's just hope he's right
