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).

Just wanted to let you know that installing the ROG SS3 package was NOT reversible with WIndows 10 system recovery (i created a restore point prior to installing these) , resulting in a hanging restore process trying to recover the registry.

Something with that driver install has messed with things it shouldnt mess with.

Hi,

Please stop falsely accusing my drivers package, if your system recovery did not done as expected, this has nothing to do with my drivers package (moreover, there is a CLEANUP process dedicated to uninstall drivers).

I did this step, but realtek does not install, there is an error in the microsoft store when trying to install Realtek Audio Control, should I follow the step with SSVM Remover Patch?

I just wanted the drivers to work with realtek audio control with equalizer as it worked before, what should I do? I'm kind of lost here in the information.

Hi,

You used a wrong Install/Update process, there is only one suitable for your motherboard, you must use only this one, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF MB) from this thread. Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.

Note (in order to choose correctly the install/update process to use) : You have a ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard.

About SSVM, read the following :


@ ASUS ROG SS3 users : SSVM is no longer included/used in your drivers package and this feature is now reserved only for ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound users (as it is the original case). Download the new/updated drivers package then follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.


Thread, post & drivers package updated.

I'm curious if the latest Realtek drivers v6.0.8967.1 have been posted?

Hi,

Nothing indicates that the next WHQL release of the UAD drivers will be build v6.0.8967.1, but it should be released soon whatever the build.

HI,

I installed the latest drivers and now I have some Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer along with my other audio devices. I have never had this before. I tried to uninstall it but It doesn't exist in the app listing or Program Files. Why it did stealth install on my comp? I think we should have a choice what to install what not. Please help me remove this Virtual Mixer thing. My mobo: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming and I installed the drivers with Install_ROG_SS3.cmd as advised. Thank You.

Hi,

As previously explained, SSVM is no longer included/used in your drivers package, so download the new/updated drivers package then follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.

Hi,

Thank you very much I did a full cleanup, downloaded new updated version of the drivers, installed it and now it is all gucci 🙂 Virtual mixer is gone and sound works as intended. The only change I noticed is that now when I use GoXlr mixer connected via usb when I open Realtek Audio Console or HD Manager, they are blank and it says "You are seeing a blank page because there is no audio devices plugged in the system. To activate GUI, please plug an audio device in the system" When I plug in my headphones directly to my pc front audio jack then the Audio Console and HD manager are populated. In the previous versions I could see both consoles populated even when I had everything routed vis GoXLR mixer since I use it as my main audio device. GoXLR is an audio device and it's plugged in the system so I don't understand why I get this message now. Anyway Thx for the updated drivers 🙂

Which Audio Driver (Win 7) do i need for a ROG STRIX Z370-I GAMING Motherboard?:confused:

Hi

- Windows 7 support ended since few month now : https://support.microsoft.com/help/4057281/windows-7-support-ended-on-january-14-2020
- UAD drivers are not Windows 7 compatible.

So, you have 2 solutions :


- Either you update to Windows 10 (https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10), and in this case :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF MB) from this thread. Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.

Note (in order to choose correctly the install/update process to use) : You have a ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard.

- Either you stay on Windows 7 at your own risk, and in this case :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (HDA - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF) from my HDA drivers thread.

Follow scrupulously the INSTALL process (with cleanup step) of ASUS ROG SS1/SS2 motherboards category but with these SS3/SR3 Legacy apps :

- Sonic Studio III Win32/Legacy v3.6.45.60920 : Link
- Sonic Radar III Win32/Legacy v3.6.45.60920 (Optional) : Link

The amplifier in Audio Control is missing

Can someone tell me which is the latest driver/download-link for my "Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero Z390" Onboard-Sound?

Hi,

You were lucky that the drivers used by your notebook are in the motherboards drivers package, but beware that you are using the wrong thread/drivers package.

You have an ASUS TUF DTS Headphone:X v1 notebook, so :

Hi MoKiChU,

I can't even say thank you enough! First off, for some reason it never occurred to me to look at the notebook thread because the TUF505DT was listed as a gaming laptop everywhere and I didn't even consider it a notebook. I'll follow that thread from now on. More importantly, however, your drivers worked amazingly! After a month of searching and being told there's no solution to the missing Realtek Audio Console options I was correct in thinking your drivers will help. DTS works fine (there was a quick DTS extension update from Windows' Update) AND I have all the Realtek options back. Clearly, something broke in the original drivers and yours fixed it. I did a few restarts to confirm since the Realtek Audio Console options would usually disappear on a restart.

Thanks again for fixing one of my biggest headaches in the past month!
