    I havent checked his newer drivers, but if it includes a cracked SBX 720 version then it's a false positive, the crack will trigger any Anti Virus.

    I doubt that J95 would spread viruses so I highly doubt it is a positive.

    When I get to installing the exe after extraction I get an error: Install Reatek HD Audio Driver Failure!! [Error Code: 0xE000024B] . It happens when the installation bar is almost finished. Ran as admin, and turned off the antivirus.

    Just following the next steps on the team page. Where do I find RltkAPO64.dll to install the certificate? Or is not required if I ran
    Realtek_HDA_6.0.1.8491_Clevo.exe?

    Or this 8454 WHQL full creative package that ASRock recently released for some ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming series boards, which seem to support more OEMs (including ASRock) than just Clevo and Gigabyte.

    No need to install the certificate, the new installer does it all...

    Just check "C:\Windows\System32\RltkAPO64.dll" -> right click -> Digital Signatures -> Details 'OK'.

    I got the mod installed. If my P770DM came with SBX X-Fi MB5, should I use that or can I install SBC 720 (like in the image) and use it without having issues?

    Just disregard danishblunt comments. As always, nothing to contribute...non-existent mods, fake testing, lying, derailing threads, insulting reputable forum members etc...lousy forum trolling. For some unknown reason, NBR seems to ignore these facts.

    Did you disable both secure boot (BIOS) and driver signature enforcement?

    Device manager -> Sound and video controllers -> Realtek High Definition Audio -> Events -> scroll down and post a screenshot of the latest event "...inf installed" Like here.

    You can read about the problem about the speakers here:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...stallation-m18xr2.821387/page-2#post-10770724

    The thread tells the story, even replacing the sub and speakers, won't really improve that much because drivers are mostly broken. The modded realtek driver "from J95" are as useless as the stock ones. They do improve on headphones, sadly that's about it, speakers are still absolute garbage.

    If you want better sound, then don't bother downloading J95s crap and go for this instead:
    http://puresoftapps.blogspot.com/2018/04/realtek-apo-driver.html

    It offers way more sound processing options and more customizability on what you want to test and use-

    Realtek HDA Clevo mods.

    - Testing all released drivers with Clevo support, this is important due to Win10 constant changes, for better or worse lol.
    - Pre-patched and signed DLL (Pihto’s patcher).
    - Unlocked DHT, DDL & DTS.
    - Support for Prema's experimental sBIOS MODs (8700K).
    - Custom Installer.

    I only use Equalizer APO's parametric EQ. 720 is for testing purposes, far better than Creative's MB5 but still gimmick...
    Nothing will drastically improve internal speakers, only small changes between released drivers.

    8454 best HDA driver so far.

    Excluding 8454, latest legacy drivers are a mess. This is not the case with UAD versions.

    Realtek UAD 8519 & 8514 for Clevo (Win10 RS3, RS4 & RS5)
    P870DM-G (UAD mod)


    Driver package contains Realtek UAD, Clevo EQ and Creative extensions.
    Just Follow included instructions.

    Stock/WHQL Realtek UAD supported Clevo models:


    Device manager -> Sound, video and game controllers -> “Realtek(R) Audio” properties -> Details -> scroll down “Hardware Ids”
    e.g. UAD/Stock Supported P870TM(G): HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_15580879

    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_1220&SUBSYS_1558950A
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_15587511
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_15587711
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_1558087B
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_1558087C
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS_15586451
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS_155865A5
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS_155867A5
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_155865A6
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_155867A6
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_1220&SUBSYS_15589501
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_15580879
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_15587509
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_15587709
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_1220&SUBSYS_155895E1
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_1220&SUBSYS_155895E2


    Otherwise, download modded version for Clevo models not listed above.

    Uninstallation: kill "Creative.UWPRPCService.exe" with task manager then uninstall Realtek Audio under Programs & Features (Control Panel), delete Creative's entry "UWP.service" with Autoruns (as admin).
    Reboot.

    Thank @j95 for your great work which made the Realtek HD audio alive again!

    I have read all the posts here, but I still have the following two questions:

    (1) Why version 8454 is the best legacy driver until now? Is it because the sound quality or compatibility issue?

    (2) Does the modded UAD driver offer the function of DTS interactive(DTSi) or Dolby Digital Live(DDL)? I could not find the option after installing the UAD version of 8519.

    p.s. My laptop is P650HS-G, and the Realtek HD audio hardware ID is:
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_155865A2&REV_1000
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_155865A2

    hi j95.

    I may have some bad (or disturbing) news.
    It seems that Realtek has decided to include older versions of the mbapo232.dll & mbapo264.dll files in newer FF10 driver versions.

    Beginning with 6.0.1.8491, Realtek included version 1.2.16.131 of the mbapo232.dll & mbapo264.dll files, which broke support for Creative SBX360/SBX720 software and failed to recognize the onboard Realtek audio device, even with the proper license files generated.

    Versions 8480 & 8485 (and earlier like 8454) had version 2.0.0.3 of those mbapo232.dll & mbapo264.dll files, which made the Creative SBX360/SBX720 software work correctly and properly recognize the Realtek audio hardware. For the life of me, I don't know why Realtek did this. I will attempt to contact Realtek and see if they will put the proper versions in newer driver versions.

    You can check the version of the mbapo232.dll & mbapo264.dll files by right-clicking on any of them in Windows Explorer, select Properties and click on Details tab. The Creative SBX360/SBX720 software needs at least version 1.2.65.x of these DLL files for it to work.

    Since your models are not listed (above), you guys must use the modded version instead.
    Just follow the instructions in the readme.

    Nope, we can't patch UAD/UWP. If you want unlocked DTS, DDL etc install Legacy 8454.

    Yep, I know. Still, version 2.0.0.21 UAD has issues too.

    I mean best audio quality, latest HDA drivers (legacy) sound terrible and will break Creative SBX/SBC due to outdated extensions.

    DDU?? Display Driver Uninstaller.

    - Firstly uninstall current Realtek HDA drivers under Programs & Features (Control Panel).

    - You must disable driver signing before installing drivers. Hold down the Shift key while you click the “Restart” option -> Select “Troubleshoot” -> Advanced options -> Startup Settings -> select “Disable driver signature enforcement” option.

    - Copy extracted "Realtek_UAD...Clevo_mod_.exe" to desktop then run as administrator (Temporarily disable AV software)

    - Follow the instructions in the readme to the letter.

    Uninstall Realtek UAD drivers under "Programs & Features" (Control Panel) and Realtek Audio Console/UWP under "Apps & Features" (Settings).

    Run Autoruns64.exe as admin. Filter: Creative. Only delete "UWP.service" entry as shown below (right click/delete).

    Once again, disable driver signing before installing drivers (...Clevo_mod.exe)

    here are the required Creative MBAPO2 DLL extension file versions for SBX360/720 in Realtek HDA legacy driver (for Win7/8.1 use up to 1.2.65.18 - for Win10 use 2.0.0.3)

    Win7/8.1 users should just use 8308 or 8328 HDA driver while Win10 users should use 8454 HDA driver

    It's even worse than you think.
    8522 HDA MBAPO264.dll 1.2.16.131 (Creative signing time Wednesday, ‎January ‎4, ‎2017 11:10:33 PM) and mbfilt64.sys 6.10.0.14...a real mess.

    You need to find out which is the best driver version for your specific laptop model.

    It probably works, its just that it's kinda weak to notice. Try this sub test and feel if your subwoofer vibrates during the test:
