I am unable to play any files on Windows Vista even though I have all the proper codecs installedįirst use the Codec Tweak Tool to check for any possible problems. It should be able to play almost anything. This player doesn't use DirectShow filters to play files, but it's own plugins. If all fails, then try the VideoLAN player. For two reasons:ġ) It is better able to play certain files than other players.
No drivers will transcode multichannel analogue (example AAC) to multichannel digital, so you get either 5.1-7.1 DDL or DTS, or 2.0 PCM only.Read the rest of the FAQ. With the Yamaha connect via SPDIF to your Realtek, play these files via Windows 'Photos' app: DTS-Trailer (DTS 5.1, 1.536 Kbps, 48 kHz) and DDL-Trailer (Dolby, AC3 5.1, 640 kbps, 48 kHz). My ALC889 and Z906 will also play Mossey49 You will find easier to use analogue, Windows by default will play AC3 (DDL) over analogue, so you only need to change to digital (SPDIF) for DTS audio.Īnalogue carries a higher bitrate and is a higher quality than compressed digital (which uses a lossy system to compress audio).ĭTS (1536 kbps) is a higher quality than DDL AC3 (640 kbps). I have to set it as 7.1 and disable the sides to get rear (I also get virtual sides). I need help bad! I really miss the sub akulpIgnore the AC3 filter image, that's for analogue multichannel to digital multichannel transcoding, which currently doesn't work with Windows, Realtek or AAF drivers.Ĭurrently I have a problem with the 5.1 speaker setup, as the defaults are front and sides, not front and rear. Yesterday I connected the Yamaha receiver to the HTPC using an S/Pdif optical cable and I get some audio now with the Realtek selected as my sound device not 7.1 In the lower right corner when I left click on the speaker it states that spatial sound is off and I can not get that to on. I have installed 6 different drivers found on various forums but none have worked. With the Samsung audio selection the configure option is actually available with Realtek Sound device selected the configure option is greyed out and not selectable. When I select that I get stereo sound only, but in the sound console I get a an area where I can select other speakers for 7.1 audio but when selected still produce stereo sound when running the test. But what confuses me is I also get an option to select Samsung HD audio as my sound device.
After the clean install I get absolutely nothing using the Realtek HD audio sound device. I normally connected the PC to a Yamaha 7.1 receiver via HDMI then to a Samsung 65 4K TV via HDMI.
I did a Clean install of Windows 10 20H2 and I have no audio. I am not sure if this is where I should be asking this question! I have a DIY HTPC based on an AsRock Z77Pro4-M MB with ALC892 Realtek on board audio.
I found drivers in first post but on the other forums with similar drivers mod I saw that drivers should be installed with some additional steps like this:
If my understanding is right and if I install this modded drivers I'll have DD Live which means I can adjust everything like if speakers are connected with analog 3.5 jacks? So after searching I found this forum and DD Live hack for Realtek Audio. Xonar does not support DD (Live), but speakers supports DD and DTS. I know that PC in case of SPDIF sends to speakers "zipped" sound, so you can not adjust volume, each speaker volume and so on. Now I tried to connect speakers over SPDIF and I see that I can't adjust volumes and so on. I use Xonar just becasuse Realtek (i had similar experience on my previos board) doesn't support stereo mix (stereo sound on all 5 sepakers). I connected speakers on Xonar with analog 3.5. I'm completely new here so I'm asking for some help.įew days ago installed my new Asus H470m-PLUS mobo which have Realtek ACL887 chipset.īeside that I have Asus Xonar DGX soundcard.
