Iupdate my Probook 4530s having windows 10 ( 64 bit ) to latest update of windows 10. But after update, I am feeling sound volume has lower significantly. Currently at 100 % volume; sound feels average. More over, I though when I had windows 7, I had dolby audio as well. So my question is ..from where can I download Dolby audio driver for my probook ( windows 10 - 64 bit )

Amazon has sold me a used laptop instead of a new one ?. I ordered the device on US Amazon with the delivery to Germany, and their support doesn't guarantee a full refund, including VAT and return shipping costs. While I am still thinking of what to do with it, I decided to reset the Windows to get access to the system. The previous owner not only left the OS locked before shipping it back to Amazon, but downgraded it to Windows 10 ?. Wifi drivers from Corsair's website don't support it. Therefore, I had to remove everything from SSD and install Windows 11 from scratch.


1. WiFi is as expected and should be way faster than 10Mbit/s, please try the driver from the download page first and maybe update after that, but newer isn't always better. is your router WiFi6 capable?


5. Please download "Voyager Hub" from the Microsoft Store - this is needed to show the cooling fan tab in iCue. If it doesn't show up, only way I solved this problem is to reset windows again and do it again. - if you can switch between the settings (silent/balance/intense), this is all you get.


@klehriker, thanks for your assistance - I have resolved all my issues, including the fans hub in iCue and wifi speed. Regarding the latter one, it appears the laptop is susceptible to the quality of signal - in case the mobile router is located 3 meters from it and behind the thin wall, the speed drastically decreases to single-digits Mbit/s. But in close proximity to the router, it's showing a reasonably respectable 70-100 Mbit/s. I assume it's not a driver-related issue but something with an antenna, perhaps?


Just yesterday i installed the latest update of dolby home theater by my driverscanner. Since then, every time i open my windows the following message shows up: " The current dolby audio driver version is 7.2.8000.13 and the software application expects driver version 7.2.7000.6. please install a valid driver and software application combination". I have no audio on my .mp3 .avi .mkv. etc files, yet the sound works perfectly on my videogames and on my browsers like youtube etc.


mi laptop tiene problemas de audio. se escucha chilloso y me sale un mensaje que el controlador de audio dolby correspondiente es 7.2.7000.6. lo que pasa es que actualice mi laptop a windows 10 despues que la actualice el audio quedo asi y no se como solucionar este problema


Of course optical can deal with more than just stereo... I've been using optical for many years with various setups (either PC -> optical -> sound system directly, or my current setup, which is PC -> HDMI -> TV (set to passthrough) -> optical -> sound system) and it's always been real 5.1 surround sound. And I'm not mixing things up with Pro Logic 2 here. DTS/Dolby has always been my go-to for gaming and of course 99% of games support that...


If that won't do (i.e. you'll get an error message saying that this format isn't supported by your device), re-run the setup and try DS1 instead of PCCE4, but according to the internet, don't try both at the same time. PCCE4 worked for me though.


Noticed the same thing with 6800. About month ago I bought nice 5.1 setup from logitech, and I wasted couple of days to make it work. I have ended up just using 5.1 via jacks without dolby... It only works in netflix.


I was chatting with the AMD support as well. First thing they got back to me with was this. Unfortunately this wasn't helpful at all (besides, my TV doesn't have earc, only arc). Then they said they have no idea, maybe the 6000 series is just too new and I should wait for Microsoft to release an update. Which I find pretty unlikely to be a solution to this problem.


But just so you know. You dont need Dolby Atmos active in the Sound Propertys to Bitstream Dolby Atmos to the Reciver.



Just try it out. Play one of the Atmos Vids in the Dolby Access App. It will say that Atmos is Disabled, but the Reciver will still get Atmos.


Atleast its that way with mine. I use "APO Driver" to enable "Dolby Atmos Speaker System for Gaming" on the HDMI Audio Output so that I get proper, in OS, Stereo to 5.1 Upmix. But this hinders me from Enableing The Atmos Output Format. But the ATMOS LED on my AV Receaver still activates when i play Atmos Content.


What exactly is your setup and how did you hook it up? I would be interested in getting the Apo drivers running and I appreciate your help, but if installing those drivers would still mean it's just a stereo upmix, it wouldn't get me any further. I'm already getting a stereo upmix, but that's no surround sound.


You're right, when I watch the demo videos, my sound system indicates Dolby Digital even though the app says otherwise. I already noticed that. But it doesn't work anywhere outside the DA app. I'm definitely not getting Dolby or DTS when playing games for example. In that case it's Pro Logic 2 only (not only does my sound system say so, but I can also hear it. It's just a stereo upmix). But when I had the 1080 TI, I was getting real DTS everywhere.


That 99% of games output Native Dolby/DTS is just plain wrong. And that Optical can deal with PCM 5.1 is also totaly wrong. You can only Bitstream a Dolby Encoded Signal over Optical. And for that you need a Sound Card that offers the Dolby/DTS Sound Format.


Windows ONLY Outputs PCM if you dont have an APO Installed. It is so since forever.

Yes your Reciver will Show Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 like mine does but thats only the Reciving Processor wich does things like Speaker Virtualisation and other things to the PCM Signal after its recivied.


Windows by default, without any additional Software only Outputs Linear PCM on HDMI.

Support for Dolby Digital needs to be build in and LICENCED by the Developer. Thats the reason almost nobody uses ist.


Uncompressed 5.1 over SPDIF (Optical) is NOT a thing. Dont wast your Time Trying it. If your Soundcard/Motherboard supports the Dolby Digital Output Format, than great. If it does not APO Driver is your only way to use 5.1 over Optical.


When I select Manage Audio Devices > Sound > Playback > DENON-AVR High Definition Audio Device > Configure > Audio Channels I have to manually select Dolby Atmos for home theater, remind it I have Center-Sub-Side and Rear, not just Rear speakers and that the Front left and right are full range, not the surrounds.


I get tired of having to do this manually when it should remember my selections. Also, on occasion, Windows thinks I don't actually need that setup and reverts to Stereo (more often than not). I have to go back in and select Dolby Atmos for home theater manually. Every. Time.


What I would like is a way to identify which registry entry I need to isolate and run in task manager (for example) that reminds Windows of my actual setup so I can hotkey the task and get on with my movies/games/etc.


I need a way to lock in my choices without spending hundreds of dollars on a keep-alive signal device to fool Windows into leaving my setup alone. This is likely due to the computer being always on but the AVR power cycling or the LG screen using Smart Features that pull audio focus from the PC, bypasses the PC by sending Audio directly to the AVR (eARC, etc).


My PC (Windows 10 Home v10.0.19043 Build 19043), AVR, speakers and RTX 3070 are all Atmos ready and switches formats automatically from 5.1, 7.1 and back to Atmos as the signal dictates and all my digital streams (PCM vs Bitstream) and connections (HDMI 2.1, 8k certified cables, eARC for Dolby Vision, etc) are working fine. What it DOESN'T do is keep Windows from randomly sneaking in a "did you actually mean STEREO?" switcharoo which I aim to prevent if at all possible.


I have found very little in the way of help isolating this in REG and what I did find I couldn't achieve the described effect. I have used automated scripts that open, right click, select, tab up and down, enter, enter, etc., to put things back to Dolby Atmos for home theater but it requires focus and selection that I have to wait for it to finish before I can use my mouse again and it doesn't always work due to the everchanging sound environment that Windows detects and automatically switches for me - no matter what I do to prevent it.
