Which model of Realtek chip is on your board ?
Only difference between u and me is driver version I think ! I use 2.79
And please double check the tutorial and make sure u do everything right .
 
I've seen a few posts pop up with people saying that their ASUS/Creative/Whatever cards work with Dolby Digital Live on Win 10. This is false, it is broken within Win 10, and until Microsoft fixes it, we are SOL.

Here is a screenshot from the audio options for a Creative X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro with the latest Windows 10 drivers/software from Creative. The EXACT same problem between any cards that support DDL and/or DTS.

Is it finally possible to have DTS Interactive or Dolby Digital Live working on Windows 10 NON-Insider? I would really like my surround sound back!

No. Read three posts up.
 
Ok I started playing back around with this again, I'm on win7 64bit , ALC889A azelia chip.
Figured out where a lot of folks may be having trouble ...

I was going to realtek for the Drivers, I decided to go get them from gigibyte instead.

I used the system file (signed) from Gamespirits mod, and 2bads A1 dll page two.
slipped them into the Install.

Ran drive sweeper, and installed.

On reboot, had Dolby live and DTS in soundman, the last way I had to access the sound system properties to select.

Im going to slip Gamespirts mod and the manufacturer Driver together (with out rewriting any then but the Sys and dll and try that...

But whats been burning my but is No matter the driver I cant use stereomix to record.

I found a r2.72 that claims to fix that so before I try the other, I like game spirits mod more options, I slip those two together.

Just thought I'd post this well fresh...

From: John W [MSFT]:

"It should be available in our internal builds by next Wednesday. That doesn't mean that any build we send to you after Wednesday will have it though... We pick a build, run it internally for a few days or a couple of weeks, then we send it out to the Windows Insiders.

That's not an answer, but I hope it helps somewhat."

To sum things up, hope you guys can wait till 2016 for a fix to a problem they knew was already broke 6+ months ago.
 
Cant wait until we get update for 5.1 ddl or dts connect/interactive over spidf/optical on windows 10, nightmare gaming in stereo.
 
Hello all,

Just reinstalled Windows 8.1 and have a small annoyance again. DTS Interactive worked before using DSEO and signing files and works now, following this easier A1 guide (thanx!)

Thanks to 2bad for original modified drivers. Made using R2.79 original files.

For Windows 10 DTS/DDL bug, wait for official patch for by Microsoft.

I use s/pdif connection to AV receiver for general music, watching films mostly using KODI (with stereo using Pro-logic processing, ac3, DTS), and also have a collection of multichannel surround music, mostly in DTS format. Listening to this music using s/pdif isn't simple, because I should have bit-perfect s/pdif sound card (expensive and complicated in my situation) or use DTS Interactive onboard which also works great. But I cannot keep DTS Interactive turned on all the time and for some reason I have trouble seeing options in control panel again. It used to look like this in Win7 and with some version of driver also in W8.1



Which was handy, but now again it doesn't show in control panel:



Yup, like it doesn't work. But it is available in control panel > sound > realtek digital out (properties) > advanced



So just now I tried a bunch of drivers, including 2 versions from Gigabyte, Realtek's 2.70, 2.73 and 2.79., almost endless restarting and cannot get that option back.

Is there something that can be done to make it appear in Realtek's control panel? Registry key or something?

edit: this is all I see in registry

Had you signed into Windows with signed digital signatures turned off before installing the drivers?
 
Know one gets 5.1 in windows 10, its a windows problem by what i have read in this thread, are you saying windows 10 has now released correct drivers for 5.1 over optical ?
 
Pretty sure project cars is 5.1

My DTS Decode light is on while playing, but if its stereo ONLY front speakers work.
Project cars is using all speakers, and sounds like 5.1 when spinning the car around in circles using outside view.

Same with Star Wars Battlefront Beta, definitely sound coming from all speakers using 5.1/7.1 audio setting.
 
Stereo is only giving you prologic, so your still get sound coming from rear speakers, that wont be 5.1/7.1 thou, unless your useing hdmi, its a fact 5.1 over optical aint working on win 10 for anyone, but microsoft say there working on it.
 
i use win 10 10547 (last build) and i have z906 connected via coax cable
i can get dts sound or Dolby digital with movies(k lite codec) but some dd movies broken like a hell when check dd compatibility on control panel there is no problem and some movies no problem i ı dont know where is problem i think its win 10 bug
i tried earlyer builds ddl or dts interactive they Show up on realtek control panel but no sound

Yeh in movies is different to games, as audio aint decoded, my optical/coax works fine for dolby digital for dvd/blurays, but wont work for games as its decoded with digital live or dts connect.

Information from Microsoft if there is a fix "Yes you have to be an Insider to get the fix. Eventually, the fix will go out to "regular users" probably thru the November Update to Theshold2 (that's what the Insiders are testing now).s you have to be an Insider to get the fix.

To clear things up a bit, Dolby Digital en DTS are decoded sound-streams. They both only support dual channel, that's the main reason why the audio needs to be encoded, so that it would be possible to have more then 2 channels over a 2-channel line. Most movies (DVD and/or BlueRay) have their audio encoded on the disc. Some games, like BF3, BF:BC2 (yes, I'm a Battlefield-fan! :D) etc., some others, don't. The games that do not have the audio encoded in the source files, do mostly support surround sound (5.1, 7.1 etc.). The problem however is, that your digital connection-cable only suppors 2 channels, as explained earlier. So, that's where DTS Interactive and Dolbly Digital Live come in place. They encode all audio before it leaves the soundcard from you computer, and encodes it. All multichannel audio will be encoded in a way that your DTS or Dolby Digital-certified receiver can decode it and know which part of the audio is for which channel (speaker (front, rear, sides, sub etc.)).

To sum it up again: you can have multichannel surround audio from your computer to your receiver with Windows 10, but you cannot 'live' encode multichannel audio. Only audio that is already encoded will be received as multichannel by your receiver. We will have to wait till Microsoft releases the audio-driver-bug in Windows 10 before we can start using live encoding again. The fix for Insiders seems good, and by further testing we can only hope that Microsoft push this to Windows 10 release a.s.a.p.
