This way Windows always presents its audio endpoint as 5.1-capable no matter what's the input, and conversion is seamless so it only works when there are less than 5.1 channels in the input source. Over time I switched to APO and upmixing equalisers to get rid of that dependency on specific vendor-bound software. When I started with Alan's drivers, it was either Nahimic or Creative version per version, whichever was able to start and not whine about hardware not found It seems we should somehow start filling in the FAQ to add to what Alan already did himself in the initial postĪSIO driver is only useful if you're going to play some MIDI instruments and process them in the realtime, otherwise there's no real value in using it over other output methods.įor me DTS was working with all releases (my AVR shows PCM 6 channels), given that there's some interim software that does the processing of your input sources to perform a speaker fill. I used AAC 5.1 test clip to test which channel is doing it's stuff from here: 2 version failed on sound test outright with error message but granted I didn't quite understand yet what setting in installer does what, I'll try that again.ĪSIO driver is mandatory to do anything useful? Otherwise standard realtek or microsoft driver is used? Is there a known good release with 5.1 working, preferably with DTS? Is there a way to make windows actually show the speaker setup like it does when you use HDMI audio? No creative, a-volute or atmos installed. Combination of HDA manager and asio driver I get DTS on front and center speakers OK but surround speakers go to front speakrs. The best I've been able to do so far is with. I've been trying to get my ALC889 codec on motherboard to produce DTS connect audio. So, er, sorry if this has been asked before, but. 3 thousand plus replies in thread? Nice forum software if I say so myself. Oh, you cannot change how many messages to show per page.
