The file RTAIODAT.dat inside the RTAIODAT.zip is not the copy of RTAIODAT.dat in the cab package of either 9152 or 9155 driver.

seems like a duplicate RTAIODAT.dat file inside the RTAIODAT.zip file.
same thing with 9155 UAD on MUC - the RTAIODAT.zip is also there

I didn't check it for 5155, but in 5152 the RTAIODAT.dat file inside the RTAIODAT.zip was actually older than the RTAIODAT.dat in the package...
anyhow, I simply deleted that zip file, updated as I normally do via Device Manager and had no problems whatsoever.

9160.1 sounds slightly muffled in the mids and the highs are not crisp.
Also the sound stage on this one, sounds somewhat more closed in(not wide at all).
9137.1 still the best.

no nicopepe. you could make things worse by using an FF00 HDA driver instead of the FF01 HDA version on your Lenovo machine (btw, what kind of Lenovo computer are you using?); microphone enhancements & certain advanced options for the microphone might be lost if you choose to use FF00 instead of FF01. FF01 has Fortemedia (FMAPO) files which I think are used on many Lenovo based laptop PCs. you could try using the older v6.0.8988.1 FF01 HDA driver instead.

I have IdeaPad Z570.

9172 fixes 9160's failings.
9137 still the best though, but 9172 sounds good too.

I use your driver as a source for a mod (DTS), I keep getting pops if audio is start-stopped rapidly.
I make an empty .reg file, and then keep importing nothing to play sounds fast.

I managed to suppress it, but I cannot get rid of it. Is it the same for you?

I tried removing the EP/ keys and effects (essentially no DTS), still the same.

Good evening, I have a question someone could answer. I have an MSI X470 Gaming AC (Realtek alc1220) and the 9137 UAD drivers installed.

Now, my rear ports have impedance detection and it seems to be working correctly with my HD 599's BUT my front port's are much louder.. the website says:

"By dedicating golden audio capacitors to the front output, a high fidelity sound experience with exceptional acoustics and realism for studio level headphones is ensured"

So, should my rear ports be as loud and if not. Will there be a loss by using the front?

Many thanks!
