(5) The GUI you show for Dolby Advanced Audio v2 that you got by manually installing that MSI file is not v4 as the README trademark shows. (4) The Dolby Audio programs went into c:\Program Files\Dolby\Dolby DAX2

(3) After the install completed and a reboot, sure enough both Realtek HD Audio Manager and Dolby Audio are shown in Control Panel installed programs.

But the Realtek driver installer files are located in a separate Win64 folder. It did not unpack itself into C:\Drivers\Realtek Audio Driver (which doesn't exist at all), but rather only seemed to show folder title information for the Dolby Audio package. I then ran the downloaded latest P70 Realtek Audio installer file (6.), which unpacked itself into c:\Drivers\Win\Audio and ran. I also went into Device Manager and "uninstall device" for the Realtek High Definition Audio. (2) I completely uninstalled the Dolby items I found in Control Panel -> programs. There's no such mention of this in the README for the P51 driver.īoth README's have a trademark mention for Dolby Home Theater v4 at the bottom. dated that applies to a Dolby vulnerability. In contrast, the latest driver for my P70 is version 6. (1) Looking at the README details for the Realtek Audio Driver for the P51, it is version 6. The results with my P70 are certainly different. I think Lenovo has de-coupled its implementation of extra-tab Realtek HD Audio Manager and gone back to the basic minimalist Realtek interface, relying on the Dolby Audio functionality to replace the similar and now removed Realtek sound effects functionality and capability. I have my own custom EQ settings in effect, for my Altec-Lansing 4.1 speakers. It looks very sleek and has a "dark theme", but it also has the old extra tabs you were expecting.

Now interestingly, looking at the way Realtek HD audio is implemented in my ASUS Z170-Deluxe desktop motherboard which uses the Realtek ALC1150 HD Audio Codec, it looks like ASUS customized the audio software from Realtek into their own Realtek HD Audio Manager app in Control Panel. In the Dolby app there are built-in presets for Dynamic, Movie, Music, Game and Voice "special effects", although there isn't a way to actually see what the "virtual EQ settings" are for each of those presets.īut if you click on the "Personalize" tab, you will now have the opportunity to adjust a 20-band EQ, as well as turn on or off (a) Surround Virtualizer, (b) Dialogue Enhancer, or (c) Volume leveler. However also in Control Panel is a Dolby Audio object, which I believe is where the equivalent functionality previously shown in the no longer present Realtek HD Audio Manager tabs is available. I have the same thing you have, both in Win7 and Win10. So I'm surprised that the old GUI has apparently been changed. Lenovo uses the same Realtek ALC3268 HD Audio Codec in all of these P-series machines, both in my P70 and in your P51.
But I have now looked at both my Win7 and Win10 versions for my P70, which have both been updated to the latest version 6. The "original" Realtek HD Audio Manager GUI did have those extra tabs. Hadn't noticed this before now, but you're right.
