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).

Hey, first off big thanks for maintaining this thread and drivers, I've been using this for years now.

This update seems to have caused an old setting I used to use to disappear. I used to be able to monitor both the line in and the microphone inputs in real-time with zero latency, it clearly wasn't even going through windows because other programs wouldn't pick it up, it was just like a direct raw monitor kind of thing.

Anyway, for whatever reason that is gone now and I'm wondering if I've messed something up, this is intentional because it's an edge case feature that most don't use, or something else.

Anyway, for now I'm just going to revert to the previous version so no worries.

Here is a screenshot with what I'm talking about:

Cheers!

Anyone else have this issue on the latest driver?

I got that same issue when I tried to install older drivers to fix the issue I was having with the newest. try using the clean-up instructions and remove all realtek, avolute, nahimic, etc. entries from your driver store with the force deletion method, reboot, and then try installing again.

Edit: probably was a different issue, but when in doubt a clean install is never a bad idea so long as you know how to do that without generating more problems for yourself.

edit 2: NVM I was right the first time it is exactly what happens if there's no newer driver to install, haha

Hi,

It's not an issue, just be patient, DTS APO4x Extension Driver folder contains more than 6260 files in more than 220 subfolders.

I can confirm it does take a while but be patient it will complete and load.

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (Intel 5xx/6xx & AMD 5xx/6xx/TRX40).

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,

This error is not an error strictly speaking, it just indicates that the driver is already present and installed (no new driver to install).

Thank you @MoKiChU. You are appreciated. STAY WELL!

Unfortunately this and the last release seem to remove the monitoring capabilities of the driver. Is this just to be expected going forward or is it some kind of error I'm having?

https://i.imgur.com/BGrz68Z.png

Unfortunately this method of monitoring is far superior to using it in windows/OBS/etc. as it has no latency and seems to happen at the analog audio routing level or something.

On a side note, is there any other asus/realtek utility we can use to tap into this motherboard level audio monitoring? I get that it's super niche, but it's so useful if you need it and would be enough to stop updating over for me personally.

Thanks in advance for any support with this issue and huge thanks for maintaining these driver threads over the years 🙂

Edit: for clarity, in the screenshot I linked, I mean that on the current release that section highlighted in the red box is simply not there
