pre-compressed 5.1 audio from sources like Blu-Ray movies works just fine. Reboot and check the Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio has appeared in your start menu and control panel.
#REALTEK ALC1150 CODEC WITH DOLBY DIGITAL INSTALL#
Run the install package you downloaded from your PC Manufacturer for the audio Step 6. It seems like a bit of a dick move to me. Then Go to C:Drivers and remove any directory relating to your audio drivers packages Step 5. I'm assuming that the reason that I can't seem to make the motherboard compress game audio and pipe it through optical is because Gigabyte didn't license one of these "optional" bits of software for their audio drivers and give owners of this board that ability, correct?Įven if I am correct, is there any way I can get my hands on different drivers that will include DTS Connect or Dolby Digital or something? If the hardware is using a codec that supports these things, I don't really get why they wouldn't be included. And when you go to Realtek's website and look at the information for the ALC1150 codec, it states at the bottom under features that it has "Optional Dolby PCEE program, SRS TruSurround HD, SRS Premium Sound, Fortemedia SAM, Creative Host Audio, Synopsys Sonic Focus, DTS Surround Sensation | UltraPC, and DTS Connect licenses".
If you just want to get rid of the noise choose a DAC connected over optical SPDIF or wirelessly. It states on Gigabyte's website that this motherboard uses Realtek's ALC1150 audio codec. If the PC is used for gaming, browsing or general music ALC1220 is sufficient. It's actually been a really good motherboard, with one exception. My old FX 6300 was tired and I wanted to go with Intel this time, so I picked up a 6600k (irrelevant, I know), and a Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 5. Last year for Christmas, I upgraded my rig. It also came with Dolby Digital software right out of the box, which allowed me to compress 5.1 game audio from games like Skyrim and shove it through an S/PDIF cable to my 5.1 receiver, which was awesome for obvious reasons. Back when I was running an AMD system I had a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3, which was a pretty good motherboard, actually.
