Note : In order to know which drivers package to use, match the audio specifications of your motherboard with the apps or ask me.

TIPS :

If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore
Use Driver Store Explorer (Right click on "Rapr.exe" > Run as administrator).

If you want better interrupts delivery latency
Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with
MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_Mode_Utility_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).

If you experience crackling, popping, audio stutter
Disable hibernation (Fast Startup included).

hello

my motherbord: ws x299 sage 10G windows 10

I read your posts on realtek drivers and wanted to write to you.

I have the problem that when the latest Realtek drivers are installed I lose the HD Audio Manager program and icon in the tray.

Over the years I have found various tricks to update the drivers and keep Asus HD Audio Manager in the tray.

currently:

1 Realtek_Audio_Driver_V6.0.1.8273 "tray icon hd audio manager is ok"

2 reboot

3 Sound_Realtek_HDA_6.0.9273_FF04_Win1011 "tray icon hd audio manager is ok"

4 Installa latest driver for x299 sage 10gb : DRV_Audio_RTK_UWD_DTS_HPX_TP_W11_64_V6094001_20220915R.zip

and now "hd audio manager is lost and not appear on system tray"

I've done various tests, removals, etc. but I can't get the latest drivers while maintaining the Asus HD Audio Manager

I installed your drivers 6.0.9655.1 but they are not working

help me

thanks
