I can now add that in this case No "Software devices" nor "Audio inputs and outputs" Audio Endpoint are shown under the devmgmt tree.

Popular Post Gato Posted February 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2019 11 hours ago, AudioPhil said: Hello Folks It has been a good day today, i could make some huge steps into the right direction. Some of you still had to press F8 during each boot to disable the driver signature enforcement. With Beta 32 this should be a thing of the past, it will make the Amanero and FiraDisk driver work like a charm, but theese two are just examples. This will work with many other drivers as well! When you update to Beta 32, you will have to put in again your windows media ISO. The rest of the update process works as usual. After the update do a full run of AO and say yes to "Install Kernel-Streaming and MediaPlayer support". Please report back when you previously had to press F8 during boot and no longer have to after updating to Beta 32. Please also report back if you still have to press F8 during boot, in either case let me know what DAC/Driver you are using. The AudiophileShell also has some refinements. You can now directly exit from it, and the non working OSK and system properties have been replaced with "File explorer" and "Disk management" (Both will only work if you have "features on demand" installed). ChangeLog: =========================================================================================== AudiophileOptimizer 3.00- Many drivers will no longer need F8 and disable driver signature enforcement during boot (Amanero, FiraDisk & many others...) - Parameter "-filter" lets you directly select Sound Signatures/Digital-Filters - Added support for JPLAY FEMTO - Now also removes pagefiles other then C:\ drive - Enables WDM Drivers in Windows Server 2016/2019 Core Mode - Enables Kernel-Streaming in Windows Server 2016/2019 Core Mode - Enables WASAPI in Windows Server 2016/2019 Core Mode - Enables Device Manager in Windows Server 2012 R2/2016/2019 Core Mode (en-US only) - Enables RoonServer & RoonBridge in Windows Server 2016/2019 Core Mode - AO disables automatic maintenance (Win10/Server 2016/Server 2019) - Update of "Prepare Essentials Edition" feature for Windows Server 2019 - Ability to remove Windows Defender (Windows Server 2016/Windows Server 2019) - Updated MediaPlayer support for Windows Server 2016/2019 Core Mode - Support for Windows Server 2019 RTM (Standard, Datacenter & Essentials) - Support for Windows Server 2019 Evaluation (Standard, Datacenter & Essentials) - Removed Support for Windows Server 2012 (Standard, Datacenter & Essentials) - LockScreen disabled for Windows Server 2016/2019 - ActionCenter disabled for Windows Server 2016/2019 - Enables TIDAL Windows Player in Core Mode- Minor changes and updates ServiceTool 3.00 - Focusrite RedNet Control 2 shell replacement - Custom shell as shell replacement - Support for Windows Server 2019 RTM & Evaluation (Standard, Datacenter & Essentials) - Removed Support for Windows Server 2012 (Standard, Datacenter & Essentials) - Shell replacement for coming JRiver Media Center 25, 26 & 27 (x86 & x64) - Minor changes and updates AudiophileShell 3.00 - Initial version of AudiophileShell- Now offers exit option - Added File Explorer (FOD only) - Added Disk Management (FOD only) AudiophileUninstaller 3.00 - Initial version of AudiophileUninstaller - Reverse all changes and optimizations - Remove all files, folders, tools, shortcuts, etc. Setup 3.00- Minor fixes for the device manager - Bugfix - 2012 R2 start menu unusable after using setup.exe - Bugfix - All Essentials versions - updated copy of windows source media - High-DPI Mode for high-resolution displays (4K etc.) - Enables Device Manager in Windows Server 2012 R2/2016/2019 Core Mode (en-US only) - Support for Windows Server 2019 RTM & Evaluation (Standard, Datacenter & Essentials) - Removed Support for Windows Server 2012 (Standard, Datacenter & Essentials) - Adds link to Control Panel on desktop - Minor changes and updates Enjoy it, AudioPhil Hi, 🎉 B32 is an enchantment.
