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

[dvojinov]

Has anyone had what I think are compatibility issues with the patcher on Win10?

I managed to download it but when I try to run the patcher I get a "This app can't run on your PC" error.

Any thoughts?

Aggressive firewall or Antivirus settings may block the patcher or prevent to work at all .

Ok, is my error because i don't select Dolby Digital in Realtek Device Manager. I select only in the basic audio device, look the image:

5.1 now work perfectly. I test trailer from windows 10 film and all is ok. Voice from the center and effect from the other channel. But this don't work for videogames. When i run videogame the center don't work perfecty and the voice come from left and right. In the game all five channel work but not correctly. I think PC game don't support 5.1 like PS4 or Xbox. How I can fix?
Thanks for the support.

try to use Dolby Digital Live as your DEFAULT FORMAT if not may be bad implementation in game or not supported 5.1 at all which would be srange or the game is uber old

All game if I try are new release like Doom, XCOM 2 and other. All game don't work fine.
Thanks.

UPDATE 2
I try this game and or work in 2.0 (left right very good quality and clear sound) or in 5.1 (all channel work great)

Ryse son of Rome: 5.1
A bird Story: 5.1
Alien Isolation: 2.0
Layes of Fear: 5.1
Sine Mora: 5.1
Republique: 2.0
MGS V: 2.0
Metro Last Night: 2.0
Xcom 2 2.0
Doom 5.1

When the game work only in 2.0, i've DOLBY DIGITAL in Ampli display. How i can transform the 2.0 in 5.1? Thanks.

People, can you help me??

Im lost with 60 pages of this thread, and want to unlock Dolby and DTS in my realtek audio board.

I have a Asus Crosshair Formula V MB, and its sound is realtek based.


How can I use this patches?

Can you please send me the right links to install?


Thank you!

I finally got this working on windows 10 using the MSI installer ( i have a z97 MSI board) and the modified 2.75 dll.
removed the old drivers through device manager ( i had a reboot loop thing going on if i used the proper uninstaller)
installed the new drivers with the exe from the MSI drivers page
disabled driver signature enforcement (in powershell or cmd= bcdedit.exe
-set test signing on)
ran the registry patch for DisableProtectedAudioDG

My games work in 6 channel over TOS now, tested with arkham knight and skyrim. the weird thing is, multi channel AAC movies play with the channels in the wrong order (bitstreamed dts and ac3 movies are unaffected)

It was much easier in windows 7

Hi Guys,

Today a tried something different.
My MoBo is a Asus Maximus Ranger VII. Windows 10 Pro.


I installed the original drivers from Realtek (http://12244.wpc.azureedge.net/8012...dio/0006-64bit_Win7_Win8_Win81_Win10_R279.exe)
After that, I tried to sign the RltkAPO.dll and RltkAPO64.dll posted by Pitho (https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...d-dts-interactive.193148/page-58#post-3476362)

To do that I have to install the Microsoft SDK, if someone have this installed could try too?
The tools are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64

makecert -r -sv certificat.pvk -n CN="Microsoft Corporation" certificat.cer
(will ask for a pass, remember that for the next steps)

Cert2Spc.exe certificat.cer certificat.spc

pvk2pfx.exe -pvk certificat.pvk -spc certificat.spc -pfx certificat.pfx
in my case this tool was missing, so I used this one: http://www.pantaray.com/MakePFX.exe, filling only the PVK password)

signtool sign /f "certificat.pfx" RltkAPO.dll
signtool sign /f "certificat.pfx" RltkAPO64.dll

After that install the certificat.cer by double click. Must install in Local Computer, as a Trusted root certificate autority > Register.

Disable the soud service: net stop audiosrv, copy the DLLs to C:\windows\system32 and SysWow64. Restart the system and try

No need to testsign off =), or regedit.

Sorry, but I`m from Brazil and my English is very rusted.

try this method from page 37. , works 100 % and much easier than others.

Yeah , I see that options , and i have DD Live and DTS interactive in sound options but not in default format list in Realtek audio manager

Hello! For me the options appear equal to the friend up, but in the game there is no effect 5.1. I followed the steps R2.71 A1 (Alternative method).
I need to do another procedure? Thanks.

Is it just me, or have Realtek just given up making HD Audio Codec drivers now? The last release was over a year ago.

Am I missing a step? I keep getting the uninstall loop.

-Downloaded latest drivers
-extracted drivers
-Uninstalled previous drivers
-patch .dll in WIN64 Folder
-ran setup.exe (drivers went through the uninstalled phase)
-rebooted
-added DisabledAudioProtectedDG
-Continued with installation, but it went through the “uninstalled phase again”
-Replaced setup.exe with the current one from the MSI setup.exe audio package
-Still get the uninstall loop.
-If I cancel the uninstall I have Dolby and DTS under sound in windows control panel, but there isn’t a RealTek control panel.
-Also tried 2.75.dll with no luck.

So first time (i think) posting in this thread. I have the Gigabyte z97mx Gaming 5 micro atx mobo with Realtek ALC 1150 and Win10 Pro 64bit

I think i got DDL to work and here is what I did :
1. Uninstalled Creative X fi mb3 software (comes with the motherboard)
2. Restart
3. Uninstalled current realtek driver
4. Restart
5. Downloaded the current realtek driver from gigabyte's website but replaced ...64.dll in the driver package. Installed the modded driver and clicked "install anyway" to the window that pops up about the driver signature
6. Restart
7. At this point i am seeing in the Realtek driver manager a bunch of additional options for Dolby etc....
8. Installed the Creative x fi mb3 software that comes with the motherboard
9. Restart
10. At this point al the extra stuff i saw in step 7 is gone however when i go to sound options I can see that I can enable dolby 5.1 digital. So I think that the Creative software just takes ownership of the sound effects, EQ and all that stuff ( I do see those in the Creative software but not in Realtek HD software any longer)
11. Doesn't work at this point so then i go and make the registry edit DisabledAudioProtectedDG
12. Restart
13. At this point I go back to sound options, enable DDL and everything works...tested youtube and Killing Floor 2. with my Astro A50s.

So my question is: the fact that i can enable DDL 5.1 in sound/playback properties Advanced Tab is enough or should I see this option within the realtek HD Audio Manager ? I can definitely sense a difference in sound from changing the bitrate in sound options so i think its working.....i think.

I use this metod but don't work. The sound is Dolby Digital (like Realtek metod A1 fix) but only 2.0 and not 5.1. What do you think?
Many games like Doom, Ryse are 5.1 but other like MGSV, Metro are only 2.0.

Friend, I followed the tutorial that Edumarino passed me and it worked

-Remove the old and install this:
http://12244.wpc.azureedge.net/8012...dio/0006-64bit_Win7_Win8_Win81_Win10_R279.exe

Then download this file you will have to put DLL in the Windows directory:
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachments/modified-275-dll-rar.68722
if not open this link try this: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...d-dts-interactive.193148/page-37#post-3360667

Place the DLL in the Windows folder C: \ Windows \ System32 and C: \ Windows \ SysWow64
So then have to make an issue in the Windows registry.
Wheel Regedit as an administrator, and seeks the key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Audio]
Adds a new item of type DWORD 32bit, with the name of DisableProtectedAudioDG and value = 1.

restart everything.

It worked for me with the last update Win10 Pro 64bit, I hope it worked.

[marzop]

Please help me, everything was working fine before this big anniversary update, and now my Astro A40's won't play sound through optical, even with DDL and the unlocked drivers, I've tried everything mentioned, reinstalling now over 10 times just to make sure..my motherboard is the maximus Vii hero with alc1150..windows 10 14393 build, would really like to get the full sound out of my headset.

The audio shows its playing when I have realtek Digital output selected, but nothing can be heard from the headset, and same thing with the microsoft test, nothing heard but it shows it being played and having sound.

 

[Frag_Maniac]

^The ALC1150 natively supports DTS, why not just use it? Many prefer it to DD.

Astro a40's can't use DTS...They need DDL... pic of how it looks.. https://gyazo.com/82d2ffe411a046f94b154f2d56c40749

Curious then as to why you chose a MB that supports DTS, and not DD? Or why you bought the Astros if they were purchased afterward?
