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).

@MoKiChU Which package should be used for X470 Prime PRO ?

Hi,

You have an ASUS PRIME Realtek motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF RTK MB) 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.

I have the ROG Crosshair VI Extreme motherboard. I am resetting my PC soon with an upgrade to CPU and cooler and NVME. I would like to get the latest audio driver for my system. The one listed on the motherboard support page is Version 6.0.1.8746 from 2019/12/03. So over a year old. Is there a newer one available?

I have been using Google to investigate Realtek audio drivers and it's very confusing. I went to the Realtek website but it's a very bad website and I don't understand it. Realtek does a really bad job at providing support for their audio components it seems to me.

I would like to get the latest drivers for all my motherboard components. But I don't know where to look. Many of the drivers listed on the motherboard support page are old.

I know to go to the AMD website for Chipset and GPU drivers. But I don't know where to go to get the rest of the drivers.

If you have nothing useful or respectful to say then don't say anything at all.

my friend I think you should be the one to keep quiet...your attitude towards the guy that tried to help you was what really got on my nerves...he told you exactly what you have to do in order to have the up-to-date drivers, and what did you do?! you started saying that you don`t trust the drivers that he uploads here and that you don`t need whatever component from the amd one etc... you should be gratefull that he gives you the choice...you can either install what he advised you or not, simple as that ...and with that I end it here, because we are polluting the thread with unnecessary chatter
have a nice day

PS: if any moderator finds this not to be apropriate he/she can delete this...thanks

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed how rude that dude's post was... Demeaning, demanding and mocking. Having said that, let's get back to work and enjoy the amazing and FULLY FUNCTIONAL drivers we get from Mokichu.

[itekweni]

Mokichu thank you for you precious work regarding the Realtek driver installation of which I followed to the letter but unfortunately it only worked for a couple of days then went back to same problem, my board is the Asus ROG Strix B460-F gaming and problem is that whilst watching either a movie or youtube and even watching live news cahnnel the sound becomes very soft and when I pull up the Realtek audio control and the Sonic studio I get the message that the wrong driver installed. I then repeat everything as per the first post and it will works to a fashion but then repeats the problem so I am thing of going down the route of a sound card which hopefully will solve audio problem, please keep up the good work and ignore ignorant people who do not appreciate your work.
