OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.

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).

Thank you very much. I downloaded the driver and added it as a Bookmark to be able to follow the topic.

So, are Ethernet (LAN), Bluetooth, WIFI and Thunderbold drivers shared for X670E Hero? Where can I download them? I want to have the latest drivers. I would be very happy if you share their page links.

Hi,

These kind of requests should be made in the index thread in my signature (if everyone asks for everything anywhere, we won't get there) : [INDEX] All My Drivers/Firmware/Software Threads (I answered to your request by PM).

[Orodruin]

I didn't know this because I don't look at the forum much. I'll contact you under Index from now on. Thank you very much for the private message. 🙏

Hi everyone,

For information :

Source : https://support.microsoft.com/windows/d5c2cdcd-83a2-4805-abb0-c6888138e456​

So, no worries if you upgraded to Windows 11 24H2 from a previous version, but if you plan to do a clean install of Windows 11 24H2, be aware that any AC-3 content will no longer be decoded/played natively, you will need to install an Dolby Digital Plus Decoder addon from the Microsoft Store.

For this purpose, I added an Dolby Digital Plus Decoder addon Microsoft Store shortcut in "Apps" folder of all audio drivers packages.


Drivers packages updated.

Can anybody answer me this question, does VLC media player automatically decode movies that have 5.1 Dolby Digital audio without enabling Dolby Atmos for Headphones. I primarily use VLC media player and know that any movie that has Atmos you have to enable Dolby Atmos for headphones and for the best experience change the EQ to movies, both for regular 5.1 movies I never enable Dolby Atmos for headphones both still have the feeling that the surround sound is working...I primarily use Drop + EPOS PC38x headset for my gaming\movies\TV shows and have always asked myself this question, so can anybody provide the answer?

Hi MoKiChU, thanks for all the awesome works.

I have an ASUS B550-E with SupremeFX technology, were i find the information about the driver version?

Hi. You should use UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS

[_Mael_]

Greetings and thanks for your contributions, how can I download the previous versions?

[Klemc]

- Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS) : 6.4.0.2400

Perfect for my B650E-E, no dolby/dts/unwantedware anymore, simply just audio working, perfect thanks.

Asus updated recently (from 6.3.9600.2333 to 2389) but it looks like it will install XXX gb of Dolby/DTS app again, so no.

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) 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.

Hi,

You can't. As reminder : https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/downloads-for-motherboards/drivers-realtek-audio-amd-3xx-4xx-5xx-6xx-8...

- If you have any issue with the last audio drivers package from this thread : CLEANUP process then install/use the last audio drivers package from your motherboard support page.

Hi,

Again, you are in the wrong thread for your motherboard.
