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).

One of the reasons why I registered to this forum is because of lack of official driver updates on main pages of my motherboard (ASUS TUF Z370 PLUS Gaming, BIOS is regularly updated). Thanks for the updates

Hi,

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

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

Hi,

I have no analogue audio out (rear green mobo output) when audio enhancement is enabled (in windows or Realtek audio Console). It works fine if I disable enhancements but then I lose the functionality of SS3 - I want to be able to use the equalizer. Digital audio works fine over usb to an external DAC; however, I cannot use SS3 to shape this digital audio. I suspect it's an issue with one of the SS3 drivers.

This problem started when I updated Windows 10 to Version 20H2. I've followed MoKiChU's instructions (ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard) and conducted a full cleanup and reinstall a couple of times with no luck. I also completely uninstalled third party Yamaha drivers for my DAC and disconnected it during this process to avoid any driver conflicts.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks for replying MoKiChu! I didn't expect an answer so fast! You are just as awesome as everyone has said on these forums!

I'm on Windows x64 1909 (Edu, as you said a version of enterprise) Build 18363.778 while it has the Store disabled by default but it can be enabled. I had already enabled access to the MS Store and it's when the MS Store updated Sonic Studio earlier this week(or last week) that I lost access to Sonic Studio with my previous drivers. That's why I tried updating my drivers with the package above to get Sonic studio working again... not sure what went wrong...I couldnt find info on error 0x00000152 anywhere. Which is when I posted my cry for help! 🙂

I was able to get back up and running with the 8666 driver package on the z390-e webpage( I thought that was a UAD driver isnt it?) with about 3 hrs of work last night. I don't have anymore time to work on these issues this week ( I teach and it's FINALS week! ) but I'll see what I can do when things calm down...

Thanks again!

Hi,

For information (so that you understand the root cause of your initial issue), the new version of SS3 (3.16.8.0) requires the latest SS3 APO (contained in the latest drivers package that I offer), without it you will not have access to the latest version of SS3.

Returning to the old drivers v6.0.1.8666 that ASUS offers on your motherboard support page (these are indeed old UAD drivers, which also contain old UWP offline installation packages for SS3 and SR3), you have returned to an old version of SS3, but, as long as you have not installed the drivers package I offer, do not update SS3 via the MS Store, otherwise the problem will recur.

Regarding the error 0x00000152 you had, this is probably due to a current corrupt install & it's maybe necessary to perform a clean install and not a update (for the next package drivers that I will release you will be able to perform an update and not a clean install).

So, since you have the possibility to have/use the Microsoft Store, follow scrupulously the INSTALL process (with cleanup step).

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

Thanks.

Just installed these drivers on my x470-f board and seems to be working great.

I gave up waiting for asus to update the official drivers.

Which one i should download for: ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI)

Thx.

@MoKiChU ... First off, thank you very much for your stellar work here, I found this thread at the back end of last year after a new build with the Crosshair Hero VIII (WiFi), and I am absolutely certain I would have taken the PC outback and smashed it with a hammer if it wasn't for the drivers here and this thread! I cannot actually express my thanks enough to you my good sir!

I kinda don't want to ask this question, because if the threads I've read over the last week are anything to go by, then the HP Reverb is such a broken piece of kit, that there is probably very little that anyone can do to help, but I figured that I sort of have an obligation to post something about my recent failed experience, because it seems to be relevant to the Realtek drivers in some sense, (I think)!

Yes, the HP Reverb G2, which apparently also uses Realtek, is probably a dreaded topic at the moment. I currently have an open ticket with HP for a replacement cable, (in the queue for a piece of eternal string, yes, I know) ... BUT, this is the story and an explanation as to why I've posted this here.

So I get this new headset, go through all the same issues almost everyone else has had, can't get it connected to begin with, experiencing various errors in WMR, then HP send me a USB hub, that works for 2 days, but I can't get any sound through the headset. So I follow the thread trail and go about trying to connect it in different USB ports with no joy. I then figure I'll roll back to the basic Realtek driver to see if that makes a difference,, (after removing SS3 and all the jazz, because I've become fairly efficient at the removal and clean reinstall process, thanks to this thread and SS3 crashing after any new sound device is added). But after that the Reverb HMD just dies altogether. No connection to WMR at all, (hence the ticket for a new cable because now I'm being notified of a USB not recognised error in Windows 10, rather than just the limited connection issues I had before).

This was all at the weekend just gone, then I got to thinking today, are third-party audio drivers compatible with that device anyway? Or would they supersede the anticipated drivers in the same way that I think they do with the innate drivers that Windows installs at installation? It would be helpful to know, because it'll be one of the things I can tick off the list when the new cable (eventually) arrives, and it'll help me decide which audio drivers I should install, and whether getting audio directly from the device is just something that can't be done at the moment (I'm new to this by the way, as you can probably tell by my long rambling way of explaining things).

Apparently there is known USB compatibility issue with x570 MBs and the HP Reverb, (and no, I didn't find that out until spending the cash). But if that's the case, should I just scrap trying to use the sound from the onboard headset and stick with these drivers? Or go the other way and scrap the MB's SS3 / SR3 / DTS and use the official drivers? ... (Or should I do what I actually want to do and take the fecking chunk of annoying expensive materials outside, then have 5 minutes of total carnage before moving to live in a tree house for the rest of forever in deep regret ... that last bit was rhetorical by the way)!

Any thoughts or guidance on this issue from anyone would be very welcome! Thank you. I am also prepared for responses that tell me that I have a fundamental misunderstanding of these devices and their associated software, because I can also be a bit thick, I'm not a developer, or a tech specialist, just someone that likes to shoot virtual things and generally. fumble around with technology that far exceeds my own capabilities! 🙂

[xzamples]

Which one should I be installing if I have a x370 crosshair vi motherboard?

I currently use pal1000's realtek audio generic https://github.com/pal1000/Realtek-UAD-generic but i can't use sonic studio 3 with it

Thanks for your hard work
