IF you have an Asus motherboard that officially supports DTS Connect. Specifically, the actual download from that forum post is below, for your convenience. In my case, I wasn't able to find the Asus installer (on the official driver support product webpage of my motherboard) until I stumbled upon the below website/forum post which pointed me to the EXACT installer I needed. The real problem is that OEMs like Asus don't readily make these license installers available for download since the OEM has to pay for these licenses. So, if you have an Asus motherboard with on board Realtek chipset (that supports DTS Connect/DDL live), you need to use the Asus setup/installer FIRST before installing standard Realtek drivers (or use the drivers that come with Windows 10) It's up to the OEM to provide the licenses using an OEM installer. Realtek doesn't include the DTS Connect/DDL licensing in their drivers. When it worked, the whole thing was monumental.įIX for Asus motherboards that support DTS Connect Other than that I can't complain about the audio (or anything else really). That happened about 30% of the time and only restarting the game "fixed" it. It was impossible to understand anybody including the guy in the intro, giving his flaming sermon. Second, sometimes the game output voices at extremely low volumes. dll to enable that so people must've been pretty desperate. There even was a guide how to hex-edit the original. dlls fixed that and the game switched to 5.1ch output. The game however only output plain stereo.

First, setting the optical output to DDL sent my AVR into 5.1 mode as expected. In Witcher 3 there were two issues actually. In theory Windows 10 itself has Dolby support built in so maybe they don't even see any sort of market there.

HDMI out would be splendid for current AVRs but it seems Soundcards are more focused on anything headphones now. Analog outputs would've worked too but I didn't really pay attention to them to be honest. Running without any patchs, only with this ddl.Yes I've browsed the lineup from creative and asus and looked for optical or SPDIF outputs and a mention of DDL or DTS Connect. I'm running 'Tomb2.exe' with 'windows 95' and 'execute with administrator' in compatibility mode propperties tab. Just extract the content (ddraw.dll) from ddraw.zip into 'Tomb Raider (II)' folder. Games using DirectX 8 and above for rendering are not affected as they don't use ddraw.dll. Originally posted by Boris, o Cybermano:I solved this on my windows 10 (1909) using DDrawCompat from github ().ĭDrawCompat is a DirectDraw wrapper aimed at fixing compatibility and performance issues with games based on DirectX 7 and below on newer versions of Windows (Vista/7/8/10).
