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

[marzop]

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

Lol.....Built my computer before I got Astro's, look that's not the point, I just want some help getting DDL working again like it was before the windows 10 anniversary update for me, would you help me with that? & not scrutinize my purchase decisions haha.

Didn't mean to aggravate, just found it a bit odd.

As far as I know lots are having issues with W10, including audio support. Personally I would roll back to W7 if you can until it's sorted, and it may never be. This and many gaming problems is why I've yet to switch to W10.

You didn't aggravate haha. It's just weird that before the anniversary update ddl through my astro's was working fine with the 2.79 drivers with the unlocked dll, now I've tried that method 10 times+ to no avail, the settings are all there, just no sound when I make realtek digital output my default device.

^Whenever that happens I try searching to see what update might be causing such problems, and uninstall it.

Anymore I have Updates set to Check, but let me choose whether to DL or install. Plus I read the More Information info on each one, and don't install unless it's something I feel I need. MS is known for OS bloat that often causes problems.

Well that's another thing too, is no one else seems like their having issues with getting it working after the update.

Just to let you know, I've also read of lots of people having certain problems with games (minimizing, etc), and certain programs that are installed are quite often the reason. W10 doesn't play well with some programs.

 

[marzop]

Still trying various things..farthest I've gotten is everything shows that it should work, but still no sound...if anyone uses alc1150 with astro's please chime in with your experience with the new windows update..I'd really like to get everything out of my headset again, instead of just plain stereo.

Have you try to reapply the registry?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Audio]
"DisableProtectedAudioDG"=dword:00000001

Yup! I've done pretty much everything, I've installed about a handful of different versions of the realtek driver, including 7904, r279, etc, did the command in cmd for disabling sign enforcement, turned on test mode, tried every method I've found, and it's so weird cause like I've said previously it worked, before the update and now it just doesn't....I have DTS and DDL options, select "realtek digital output" and try test, it shows that sound is coming out, but no actual sound is being played..literally so puzzled about this, spent about 4 hours now just uninstalling and reinstalling different versions and using the unlocked 2.75 dll on all of them and nothing has seem to work yet.. I'm getting quite frustrated, but from searching on google and looking at stuff, this doesn't seem to be an issue for anyone else that's done the update..which really sucks. After hearing how everything sounds in surround sound using DDL it's hard to just accept stereo....especially when you know it's possible..but can't figure it out, that's why I made this account to post in the first place.

 

[marzop]

Can I ask though, no one else is having issues with sound through optical on windows 10 build 104393? Like I can't be the only one experiencing this..especially since my hardware isn't that old at all..

As you can see it shows that sound is being played..but nothing can be heard...

 

[lukjod]

Well. mine is working ok on dts interactive settings on games also can hear sourround very well (after replacing ddl as in here )
Here is my screenshot of settings

 

[Silver_WRX02]

Have you tried to disable other audio devices? Maybe there is a conflict between them.

I have not put red stone on my mainbuild yet I only have installed threw VM which dont support any of this, Other wise I would check to seem if my modifed driver package still works and if Optical out actual work and and passed DDL/DTS honsestly though when ever i replace my A/V unit I gona stop modify the drivers and cause my Mobo support DTS connect which i think is better then DDL, there is just issue with sound on a/v unit with DTS it will only accept direct and not mixed mixed results in Wobbling sound, and I can find no way to make PC optical out to be direct

 

[marzop]

Still haven't been able to find a good solution to fix it....Pretty much gave up on it until I see something posted that my situation can apply to.

Originaly my ASRock X99 Extreme6 comes with ALC1150 and plays DTS Interactive out of the box, but I bought Steelseries Siberia 840 which requires Dolby Digital 5.1.
I got working DDL on Windows 10 1511 build when installed patched latest drivers "7917_PG448_Win10_TH_RS_Win8.1_Win8_Win7_WHQL" and modified registry. But there is problem. My Logitech Z-5500 receiver plays only front left and right channels, no sub, no rear, no center. But receiver shows that it getting DDL signal over optical cable, the same goes with DTS. Testing in "Supported formats" tab pass-throught works fine and plays all channels. Any clues?

Hi guys
I found this thread searching for a solution to my "no surround" issue on my HTPC. (just switched back to Windows after a while on Linux, since i wanted Netflix surround and 1080p)

HTPC: Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard, Windows 10 Pro
Source: Netflix App (confirmed 5.1 sound) using optical

For th last days i have been troubleshooting a driver issue related to the Z77 chipset and AHCI SSDs, so i have done around 15 clean installs.
The previous install, i had working 5.1 surround registering on my receiver (the front panel show active speakers)
This install does NOT have working 5.1 surround. I followed the exact same procedure as the first time (even playing the same movie on netflix)
Im suspecting windows update is the culprit in that since it may or may not have changed the drivers either in the previous instal or in this.

I can see both DTS and DD in the supported formats menu, and i can test both of them, and my receiver gets surround for the test. But i cant for the life of me figure out how to get Netflix to send 5.1 to the receiver.

Does the modded Realtek files work for my use, or do i need to start somewhere else?

 

[Cvrk]

this is golden! cant w8 to test

Windows 10 and realtek driver's suck for optical.

Hi there

I have problems with 5.1 in games.
I got an ALC892 on my Asrock h77 Pro4-m motherboard.
I tried 2.79 driver with modified 2.79 aswell 2.75 dll and enabled testmode on win.
DD and DTS are working nice when watching a movie or listening to music but I can't get my center speaker to work in games.
I've seen i'm not the only one with that problem but wasn't able to find a solution for it.
Any help would be appreciated

thanks

Hi, i have a gt683dxr msi laptop with thx trustudio pro supported realtek hd audio. Since i updated to windows 10, thx trustudio pro control center is not working, i can change the settings but it is not effecting the sound output. My current driver version is R279. Can anyone help me with that? Thanks

Since the update that took my win10 build to 1607 i lost live encoding.
Checking windows/system32 showed the modified .dll had been replaced, fixing this returned the options for Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive.
I have not had a single issue other than that, same drivers 7818_PG444_Win10_Win8.1_Win8_Win7_WHQL.zip and modified .dll

I have Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7818 (R2.79) installed (Windows 10 build 14393 (September 13, 2016)).

Which modified .dll do I need to move to the system32 folder?

I use the modified 2.75 one, replace RltkAPO64.dll with it.

 

[escape75]

RltkAPO.dll isn't really working for Win 7 32 bit, it only unlocks DTS for optical out,
but no Dolby and no other new tabs get added to Realtek control panel.

It's all fine with older drivers and modified .sys file, instead of the .dll
I'm guessing the 32 bit patch is simply not patched right.

If anyone here has an Asus motherboard that's newer than a Z77 (made in 2013+)
but that has built-in support for Dolby and DTS, it would be very handy to get
a dump of SMBIOS data so we could figure out how to re-add Dolby/DTS
support at the BIOS level instead of running cracked files ...

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/dmidecode.htm for starters ...

 

[Nate Urbs]

I use the modified 2.75 one, replace RltkAPO64.dll with it.

I am running the same OS/Driver version as timdim (Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.7818 [R2.79], Windows 10 build 14393), where can I find the modified 2.75 version of RltkAPO64.dll?

I can see Dolby Digital in the preferences of my optical device port, but when I test it with my Astro MixAmp plugged into it I don't hear anything in my headset. This is all to get my Astro A50's to work on my desktop. It sounds like the Windows Anniversary update messed this up for some other people so my timing couldn't be worse.
