[Update] Realtek High Definition Audio

Most audio apps on pc play audio in 5.1 today either it is mp3 or flac or something other. Aimp and Gom Players for example. If you don't have 5.1 sound play option on your speakers then you must use these audio players. For video it is unfortunate that no video player can force stereo to play in 5.1 ..

My philips 90 watt 5.1 speakers got an option to play 5.1 regardless of the input.

Latest Realtek HDA version is 6.0.8899.1

 

But that doesn't explain why the "speaker fill" option is missing. I want to know why it's missing?

 

If speaker fill option was working with previous driver version and not now , blame windows 10 because it overwrite some settings on your driver and make it useless sometimes. I faced such problem with windows drivers. Edit your windows group policy and set it not to install drivers and then uninstall current driver and install latest driver after reboot. And see if problem still persists.

 

Hi,

To virtualize the sound on all your speakers regardless of their numbers/type and whatever the content played, you must enable the Surround setting in SS3 Win32/Legacy app but you must use HDA - FF03 drivers.

 

Unfortunately, my sonic studio 3 has not been working. I keep getting this error about my system not supported or audio driver isn't properly installed. I've done some research on that to get it to work but I'm at a lost.

 

Try to switch to the UAD drivers (and install SS3 UWP app) by following scrupulously the CLEAN INSTALL then INSTALL process of Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3) from my latest update post.

 

Will give that a shot. Thanks

 

Hey so where to find the latest Realtek Audio Console (UWP) now that always was shared by alanfox2000 @ github?

 

So I followed the instructions and now I'm getting "Can not connect to RPC service" and I enable surround in SS3 and tested with a few apps like VLC when I played a movie it played 5.1 but MediaMonkey played music in 2.1, I had to change the output plugin that enables 5.1 and when I play anything on firefox it's 2.1 so I guess it doesn't recognize browsers.

 

@MoKiChU drivers didn't have sonic studio virtual mixer was that unnecessary to add ?

So I recently upgraded my cpu/motherboard. I did a fresh install of windows. I have TUF Gaming x570 Plus (Wifi) motherboard. I originally downloaded the Realtek drivers from ASUS's website. However, the realtek audio console would say "Cannot connect to RPC service." So I found this website and followed the guide on page 54. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed the RTK driver fine, but the realtek audio console now will not download from the windows store. It keeps giving an error. I'm about to uninstall this motherboard and return it. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for the info MoKiChU. I got the correct drivers installed now. The Realtek Audio Console still didn't open. However, I noticed when deleting the old drivers with driver store explorer Nvidia Control panel installed some audio drivers. I force deleted them and now everything is working. So thanks for the help. I would have been seriously stuck without this thread.

On a side note, I am not a big fan of the Realtek Audio Console or DTS custom (DTS Custom really is terrible). The options are lackluster and I feel my old motherboard just sounded a bit better. Next time I'll pay closer attention to what audio chipsets they come with. For now... I may just get a sound card.
