    5. APO Driver 1.0.2 x86 release on baytrail tablet.
      "Could not access network location \APO driver."
      Note: Is it possible to chain SRS premium sound then Dolby Atmos on same endpoint?
      Currently using fxsound enhancer that has SRS APO applied and High Definition Audio that has Dolby applied.

      回覆刪除

    6. Redownload and reinstall APO driver 1.0.2
      Save the following file (pastebin link) into SRS_Dolby_UWP.ini on C:\Program Files\APO Driver\Config folder
      Load the config using FX Configurator
      https://pastebin.com/raw/rj4R7Tc2

      回覆刪除

    7. 1.0.2 successfully installed on 32bit tablet.
      SRS_Dolby_UWP.ini tested, do not work (SRS premium sound does not load; checked whether it was used on any other endpoint, no conflicts.)
      Don't bother correcting it; I can manage without it.
      Note to other readers: SRS premium sound operates as a 32bit float audio processing. Thus it can go over the 0db audio limit peak. Using either Virtual audio cable or Fxsound enhancer driver requires you to lower down the individual app volume in the volume mixer to prevent audio clipping.

      回覆刪除

    8. Previously described (SRS_Dolby_UWP.ini usage) was on 64bit Teclast(台电) tablet。
      On 32 bit baytrail tablet, version 1.0.2, SetACL problem still there; nothing can be applied.

      回覆刪除

    9. Make sure FXConfigurator32.exe version is 2.0.0.6.
      If the SetACL problem still exist, download setacl 32 bit
      https://helgeklein.com/downloads/SetACL/current/SetACL%20(executable%20version).zip
      rename SetACL.exe 32bit version to SetACL32.exe
      Turn off your antivirus and/or windows defender,
      Open FXConfigurator32.exe, copy SetACL32.exe to C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp
      Select the endpoint you wanted.
      Load config SRS Premium Sound.ini and apply
      Since I cannot found 32 bit Dolby UWP API, only Dolby UWP App x64 work (x32 bit UWP App don't work)

      回覆刪除

    10. Successfully loaded SRS premium sound on 32bit tablet.
      Installer seems to have the wrong setacl32.exe; the temp folder had the setacl32.exe file, but was the 64bit version. Corrected it from the given link, and FXconfigurator32 worked.

    15. As reported previously:
      Copy pasting KGA files generated on your PC (which is now available for download on your site) over to %ProgramData%\Creative\SoftwareLock will only work on the PC the KGA file was originally generated on, and will not work on others. I'm afraid KGAGen is the only solution for the time being. You could create additional commands to delete unnecessary KGA files to determine whether you want 360 or 720.
      Sir, your kga files will not work elsewhere, except on your own pc.

    17. It use to work for me, in the first week of june, but not anymore even in the DAX folder, i don't have RADARHOST Folder when i try to install it like i did before.. Every single time when i ever i try to install your apo driver with dolby atmos for gaming. I always get the error message"There is a problem accessing the dolby atmos for gaming driver.Please restart the computer or reinstall the driver if the problem persist". I install everything correctly, even the right run times and frameworks. I even reformatted my pc several times and use the audio cleaner tools. Please help me out if you can.

    18. hi. please help me install nahimic 3. I did everything according to the instructions, the application worked, but the sound remained the same.

      回覆刪除
      回覆

      1. Nahimic 3 UWP app does not work on all hardware anymore as it only works on specific hardware similar to Waves Maxxaudio UWP app. need certain MSI brand motherboard or laptop to use Nahimic 3 as noted on these pages:
        https://nahimic.helprace.com/i436-motherboards-and-desktops-supported-by-nahimic-3
        https://nahimic.helprace.com/i434-msi-notebooks-models-supported-by-nahimic-3
        Also Nahimic 3 may also work on certain new Dell Alienware laptops and maybe some new Gigabyte & ASUS boards/laptops. anything else beside these, the Nahimic 3 is not guaranteed to work.

        also the SFX MFX EFX entries in Realtek Audio Effects render INI file in APO driver applies to Realtek HDA (non-UAD) driver only; Realtek UAD drivers use "composite" and "offload" SFX MFX EFX entries as I checked its generic extension INF file. so APO driver can be improved for next version. perhaps include new Creative component version in APO driver for Creative SB Connect UWP app.

        刪除

      2. a follow up: use latest Win10 version - build 17133 or 17134 (RS4/1803). Nahimic 3 from APO driver works best or runs correctly when running Win10 v1803 and not the v1709 or older versions of Win10.

        刪除

      3. The kga file don't work on new Creative component. MaxxAudio file has encryption, and maxxaudio is bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kZIn-uaoTM.
        Nahimic 3 should work on the lastest stable version of winodws 10 x64, no matter what your CPU or motherboard is.

        刪除

      4. Maxxaudio always enforced hardware restrictions and only worked with few audio chipsets on certain brand PCs. I also noticed the maxxaudio integration files were removed in APO driver v2.1.6 and higher.

        perhaps maxxaudio was bad on certain Dell Latitude/Precision/Inspiron/XPS laptops as you pointed out in the youtube link. it may be a little different when maxxaudio was used on recent Dell Optiplex all-in-one desktop PCs

      1. Multiple audio enhancer will cause audio distortion and delay. Only one audio enhancer enough.

      1. You don't need mod Realtek driver, APO driver make your PC use thirty party audio enhancers. It doesn't matter what kind of audio driver you have installed, APO driver should work with all audio driver.

        I have finished the installation step by step and I have even restarted my PC and there is no way for viper4windows or dolby atmos UWP to process the audio, that is, there is no change in the sound when moving the respective configuration of each tool
