Acer Aspire 5560 Dolby Advanced Audio driver issues after updating to Windows 10

Hi,

The only driver that ever worked properly with Dolby was the driver for The V5-552G on windows 8 (not 8.1) This will work on your computer even if different model... the new driver on the Acer site for winodws 10 has not work either. So the one I´m using is: Audio_Realtek_6.0.1.6878_W8x64_A

To Download the Driver and Software needed Go to: http://www.acer.co.in/ac/en/IN/content/drivers

and Go: Ultra-Thin / Aspire / V5-552G

To get dolby to work:

1. Uninstall the current driver, and any software related to it (the dolby software)

2. restart

3. Install the driver for windows 8 (in my case it never installs dolby automatically, I´ll explain how to do it manually below)

4. Restart twice (yes, I always had to restart twice after the install otherwise manually installing dolby would not work and I got an error when trying to run the install)

5. In the driver folders you downloaded and unzipped go to the folder "PCEE4" and run "DolbyAdvancedAudio.msi"

6.If you dont get the "Install PCEE" error, restart and you should be able to enjoy dolby (when its not acting up). If you get the error then you may have not followed the instructions properly. Go back to step 1

Good luck

IronFly's solution appears to have worked for my Aspire 5750 with the same message since Windows 10.

Really simple to use, it did all the uninstalling and rebooting itself, rather than me having to work out what to uninstall (sorry cam_wicked, your solution looked too complicated for me - this was great)

Thanks

PS New here so not sure whether I can/should 'Accept your Solution' as it wasn't my problem in the original post.
