Due to Realtek moving HDXRT.inf
and HDXRTSST.inf
hashes from hdxrt.cat
to hdxrtu.cat
in 6.0.8825.1 and the absence of a hdxrtu.cat
copy for current version, it wasn't possible to make a Realtek UAD Generic package for old systems that is 100% WHQL compliant. To workaround this setup installs latest WHQL compliant codec component (version 6.0.8856.1) with hardware support application, audio effects and service components taken from latest version and then a force updater is used to replace the old codec component (RTKVHD64.sys
and RTAIODAT.DAT
) with its latest version.
Due to absence of valid and updated copies of HDXRT.inf
, HDXRTSST.inf
and HDX_GenericExt_RTK.inf
(or a renamed copy it), new hardware IDs introduced since 6.0.8825.1 are not supported (#31).
First release requiring registry edits to get closer to expected content of official copies of HDXRT.inf
and HDXRTSST.inf
. Force updater gained the ability to execute inf HKR command from a delta patch file to comply with this requirement.
