Dolby Audio Premium For Windows 11

[Martta]

Idon't seea bigger difference as 8004 has worked finde for me already. This equalizer tool is a bit confusing for me (I must spend some time do understand the settings which are really available (some seems to be nonsens and don't work).

My advice is, not to use the oudated audio drivers from Acer Site which are really old and buggy. Acer should feel ashamed a bit because they let us sitting here without a propper driver. Just because they don't care or they want to save money for the driver?

Maybe there are some other changes? Realtek 79.. is installed automatically if you do not disabel this function. I didn't have too much time for testing, but with this old driver, problems with Dolby where still there.

MEN PROBLEM FIXED installing the APO EQUALIZER omg THANKS Robitzik just install, select the audio and mic device for the program to take control and restart, open the dolby to see if its activated or not leave opened fot reference... and click cortana mic or any program that use the mic device, and see if still deactivating if not problem fixed like in my case. if still desctivating you are DOOMED!! haha

Hello Everyone! I still have the problem with Dolby on my Predator G9-591. I tried the method with the Equalizer APO 1.1.2, did everything as told, but still Dolby turns off when I'm using Skype or Cortana.

There are still problems with Dolby after disabling all enhancements for both speakers and microphone. Unckecking "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" for both of them doesn't help as well. Thank you so much for your help, I think this method just doesn't work for my series.

Hello, I have the update of windows 10 creators (I know because I have the options of game bar as comments and why I install manually) and also I have the equalizer APO and still working perfectly, I have the model Acer Predator G9-973 I do not know if it affects but in my case it works perfectly.

I even had to reinstall the audio drivers and the dolby by mistake, and when I finished I realized that the detail with the microphone persists, but installing the apo equalizer solves the problem again.

The answer marked correct answers the question about why it's not working. Some of what I wrote gives alternatives. I believe that you can also download earlier versions of the applications, and would get Dolby support back. It would be useful if someone who uses Dolby could confirm that.

My assumption is that Adobe were licensing Dolby so that you could decode and encode, and in switching to use the OS decode for Dolby, Adobe didn't want to pay a license to decode if the OS provider was already paying for that. It's a shame if the license for encoding was so much money that Adobe thought it worth dropping that too.

I am paying the monthly subscription and I expect it to work regardless without having to jump trough hoops to work on my assets. I put a tweet on my account (same username as here and adding /status/983098264055635968 ) telling of the actions I was considering and that is what I meant by "it's the wrong answer."

Adobe have decided to do the dirty on their customers and ruin it for everyone, just in time for xmas. By doing this they are forcing people who were quite happy on windows 7 to have to take their machine to a shop and have a new operating system installed like the awful 8.1 or the "updates whenever it wants" Windows 10... at your own cost and also then you will probably find that your hardware isnt compatable with that so will have wasted your money and have to buy a new machine. Yes Adobe charge you more money for Premiere and rip bits out of it. Quite funny - well it would be if it weren't true. Class action lawsuit is what is needed.

This audio decoder is BS considering the current video files should just upload to the Premiere Pro CC2018. They just make it harder now I have to open another program just to open up and import back in the auto file. You are not saving us time Adobe when making videos....

Premiere can't decode the audio, but Audition can! You can drop the MTS file straight into Audition, and it will decode the audio with no problems. From there, just hit Ctrl+Shift+E to export the audio as a WAV. Drop the WAV into Premeire, line it up with your video clip, link them, and you are good to go!

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.

Any info, links, scripts, apps or help pages will be appreciated. I'm very comfortable working with AHK (even tho it's taboo right now and I'm only a beginner coding with it) to achieve this effect but I don't have the necessary DLL calls. I'm also comfortable working with REG edits but again, I don't know which one achieves the entire setup I need to reinforce or the one needed to activate Dolby Atmos for home theater that I can use with Task Manager. I hope to achieve this without upgrading to Windows 11.

NOTE: I do NOT have an issue selecting default devices - never have and doing so does nothing to preserve which speaker setup I prefer and prevent Stereo from even being an option. I only have one Mic and one Audio output anyway so I've nailed the default device thing. It's the desired Speaker setup (no enhancements, only audio channels) I need to get working, keeping, checking and correcting as needed or hotkeyed for my issue to be resolved.

@adam deltinger Thank you for the suggestion. I'm trying to find a Microsoft forum to find my answer since the issue is with Microsoft software programming. The audio sites have no solution for less than $1100 and there's no software I can find or programmer that is willing to tackle the issue. If you know of a Microsoft forum you think could discuss this better please link it to me. Otherwise I'll let this fade away on it's own and keep looking.

My issue, I cant get my system to recognize which is the Dolby Atmos speakers? it plays both the side and rear speakers off the same (rear) speakers, with no way to adjust the Atmos speakers being on top of my FR and FR speakers= Definitive Technologies 9080x. It is driving me nuts.

A possible solution for you; I figured out I have to log out/put my system to sleep/fully shut down the computer before powering down my receiver. Then powering everything back on starting with the receiver. Its the only way I haven't had to reset sound settings each darn time.

@RoHCo Thank you for replying. Since this post I've tried a couple solutions including a third party audio switcher. Even with that, sometimes when I come back the audio is muted in the active window (game) with no way to unmute it without quitting the app and relaunching. Then other times when the entire computer is muted so interestingly enough, this week I ran the troubleshooter (again) and realized the last two times all it did was stop and restart the audio drivers. Well, I can do that. So I got my hands on this snippet of AHK script and it works just fine.

Note: While this may work as a standalone AHK script, I'm only quoting the part I added to my existing script so the opening lines and other functionalities in my master script are not shown here. What to put at the start of your personal AHK compilation would need to be researched to match your specific setup and uses.

@IVHed My solution is a program called "Sound Keeper". Download the exe, rename the executable to "all.exe" and you can go to your sound mixer and mute it. The readme is more in-depth, but this is my oversimplification of the process. Keepalive = 1 :) No drop outs.

For others having issues and you are pulling your hair out because this doesn't work, DDU in safe mode, stay in safe mode after DDU runs, (ensure most settings are enabled in DDU, disable windows updates through DDU), remove all your windows graphics caches in the registry (google removing monitor nvidia graphics profiles in regedit), I went a few steps further in many departments such as uninstalling chipset drivers for the motherboard and audio (onboard audio is disabled in BIOS, but there are still octopus tentacles everywhere wanting to grab an IRQ/MSI it shouldn't or is sharing), run a program called MSI_util_v3 (google) as admin and every line that says MSI or MSI-X is supported, enable MSI. Feel free to explore "max" and "max limit" on your own time, restart after changes to chipset driver removal and MSI (Messaging Signal Interrupt is superior to IRQ) enablement.
