realtek hd audio manager gigabyte walkthrough

I only managed to output sound that was like 90% of the quality from VIA's Speaker Fill, by using foobar2000 with Channel Mixer selected from Dsp Manager, the thing is I need that driver level or something, I want that kinda upmixing on all input, not just in foobar2000. However what VIA at least had, was the most important thing: their 'Speaker Fill' function worked! You just press it and BOOM, nice decent sounding upmix from stereo to all 5.1 speakers.Ĭhoosing Sound Effects > Environment > Room in any of the Realtek drivers will actually do more than that broken 'Speaker Fill' they have, it actually reroutes sound trough subwoofer,center and rear too, and it's not as distorted and low volume like just Speaker Fill from windows or realtek driver, but it's still distorted and subpar nonetheless. All did output sound to all speakers, but really distorted sound and lower volume on all speakers except the front ones, so it was still basically stereo with with some half-assed sound rerouted to the other speakers.īefore this motherboard i had an AsRock M3A770DE with VIA® VT1708S Audio Codec, VIA's drivers were certainly not the best ones either, since the default driver that came with the motherboard would crash when trying to enter 'Expert Mode' or whatever it was called, but without it you could barely set anything up, so I had to search random drivers from VIA's website till i got one that worked and didn't crash, however all drivers did not have audio enhancements tab for microphone like all realtek drivers did. I tried with a lot of different Realtek drivers and versions, tried the default generic windows audio driver's 'Speaker Fill' too. Usually audio driver managers have a built in option called 'Speaker Fill' that should do upmixing. The problem I have is that stereo sources will only output to the front speakers, and I want to upmix stereo to 5.1 that will sound good enough (i know it won't be real 5.1 quality, it's upmixing, but I also don't want some lame distorted output)

The motherboard is Gigabyte GA-970-Gaming with the Realtek® ALC1150 codec. I have 5.1 speakers connected correctly to my onboard analog outputs. Hello, I need some help with my upmixing problem.
