OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME/ProArt motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/8xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC40xx).
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME/ProArt motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC40xx).

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).

Hey MoKichU, i can't install  the sonic studio 3, windows store gives me an error code 0x80073CF1.

Do you know a fix for this?! I dont have a equalizer on this motherboard. The driver's dont come with one, and the only way to get one is to install sonic studio 3.

Hi,

I assume you have already tried restarting the PC and trying again, but anyway, refer to my previous post, and try the latest SS3 apps v3.16.23.0 offered as offline installer packages (which is, to date, still not offered by the Microsoft Store which still offers the 3.16.21.0) in your INSTALL process.

Correct, it is by design, It's always worked like this whether with the audio drivers packages from your motherboard support page or with Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread, the equalization and the effects features are done via the SS3 drivers/app.

You need to install Sonic Studio III app in order to have your EQ and to use (or not) the SS3 sound effects features.

Note : You don't need to install Sonic Radar III app (and if you play Valorant, disable the Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer device in your Device Manager in order to avoid trigger Riot's Vanguard).

Hi everyone,

@ ASUS ROG SS3 & SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards users : SS3 apps v3.16.23.0 (which is, to date, still not offered by the Microsoft Store which still offers the v3.16.21.0) links have been added to your INSTALL process (offered as offline installer packages).

Hey MoKiChU
Hope you are well today, quick question I have an Asus Tuf Z790 WiFi Plus with DDR5 what will be the correct choice of audio drivers.

Thanks for your time.

[MoKiChU]

Hi,

You have an ASUS TUF DTS Audio Processing motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS AP) from the first post of this thread.

Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.

[assetto]

Thank you very much!

[GenomeSoldierx2]

YO MoKiChU!! OMG Thank you so much!!! The program is now working thanks to your offline installer!!!!

Cheers man! I never used this equalizer. The audio is much better now!

TY.

After updating to this version, A-Volute is always asking for admin rights after each restart. This wasn't happening with previous version. I tried a complete reinstall, but that didn't help.
