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).

I followed your instructions for installing the Realtek drivers for my XII Apex, but I can't install the Realtek Audio Control from the Microsoft Store, and others are reporting on the same problem. I Googled it and found this :

"DCH drivers must be installed by the installer in order to have the optional software components installed. No Realtek Software Components means you cannot download the Realtek Audio Console from the Microsoft Store."

The driver installed perfectly per your instructions, but as I said, Realtek Audio Control will not install.

Thank you as always!!

Quick question: as only a single component of the driver has been updated, you kept the same package name, right? Because I had already that pack downloaded..

In case YES, should I just go for UPDATE?

Thanks for the clarification! 🙂

Hi,

Yes and yes.

Yes, I know, and as I wrote in my post - the drivers installed perfectly. Is was the Realtek Audio Control from the Microsoft Store that would not install. Nothing you can help with, but maybe you could write that in the first post? 🙂

I read your post correctly, but you don't say which drivers package you used. If you cannot install Realtek Audio Control, you have probably used the wrong drivers package (even if from your point of view you see the main drivers installed correctly, but the driver packages are not limited to the main drivers). Please quote the name of the drivers package that you have used and/or check that it corresponds to the drivers package that I have indicated to you.
