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).

I'm using your ROG SS3 driver for my z390 hero xi mobo, when it installs it installs nahimic services, what are these used for? As I don't have nahimic audio devices that I know of, I' just have the SupremeFX (RealTeck) chip/driver set right?

The reason I ask is that these services slow down the loading of browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Edge, et cetera.

If I stop and disable the service, it solves the issue and thus seems superfluous for my system, unless I'm missing something entirely here?

Mokichu,

I was just wondering do you work for Asus?

My Realtek Audio Control looks very limited on the options 🙂

I had to uninstall SonicStudio3 as it was causing start problems in Cold War / Warzone..... Do you know any way to fix this?

There is nothing under DTS effects and there is no graphic equalisers etc....

I do not work for anyone (apart from my IRL job at the largest French telecom operator, but I wouldn't say more).

Open a ticket with ASUS Support, if they can reproduce your issue, they will work with A-Volute (creator of SS3) and/or Activision to fix your issue.

This is normal, it always worked like this to avoid multiple EQ : When one third party app is installed, the EQ is hidden/deactivated from Realtek Audio Control then deported to the third party app.

According to the screenshot of your Realtek Audio Control you published, DTS Sound Unbound is installed (and this is normal if you have not uninstalled it since it is automatically installed as indicated in your INSTALL process), so the EQ is in DTS Sound Unbound app. If you uninstall it, the EQ will show up in your Realtek Audio Control.

Yes I installed the app as you said it was fine, but in DTS Sound unbound app i cannot find any equaliser in it.

There is an equalizer in Sonic Studio 3 which you should have as part of the drivers package. There isn't an equalizer in the DTS software/app you downloaded which has nothing to do with MoKiChU.

I had to uninstall Sonic Studio 3 as it was causing intermittent loading problems in games Cold War & Warzone.

Hi, I have just updated to AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_TUF-PRIME_DTS_Custom_MB_v6.0.9160.1 my Asus X570-wifi-plus motherboard.

Is it ok that the the cmd commands some of them (after the third command) output "could not install" / "number of correct imports: 0"?
(sorry I have spanish Windows)

Here the output, is it because some components dont need to be updated?

Thanks,
