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).

Hello, I'm trying to help a friend get the latest drivers for their system as your threads helped me get the latest drivers and resolve some performance issues similar to the ones they're currently having, while my driver for the Z390 Gaming-F was easy to figure out, I'm not familiar with the abbreviated names/terms next to each driver category (RTK, DTSX Ultra, DTS AP, etc).
What driver best qualifies for the ASUS TUF B365M-Plus Gaming board?

The B550-E is advertised as having DTS Sound Unbound, yet the driver you've pointed to doesn't mention this. Is that correct?


Its literally included in the name...

When you scroll a bit down further it mentions how to install the DTS Unbound app...

There are different drivers for the DTS Sound Unbound, which is a different utility to other DTS versions (in terms of technology and licensing).

Second, the drivers package type :

So, if in your motherboards specs you see the words :

- Sonic Studio III : You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard
- Sonic Studio III & DTS Sound Unbound : You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard
- DTS:X Ultra : You have an ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS:X Ultra motherboard
- DTS Audio Processing : You have an ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS Audio Processing motherboard
- DTS Headphone:X v1 : You have an ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS Headphone:X v1 motherboard
- DTS Custom : You have an ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS Custom motherboard
- None of the previous words : You have an ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME Realtek motherboard

ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING
I believe it is a ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound MB but I followed the guide and Sonic Suite and Radar still don't work.

Hi,

Hi,

First of all, thank you so much for creating this thread and helping everyone!

My motherboard is a ROG Maximus XIII Hero Z590 - which driver will I need?

And also, not sure if you would know but would this fix an issue where my microphone is not working/being extremely quiet?

I've been having to use third party software (Voicemeeter) in order to be able to get people to hear me, I'm on Win 11 - if you don't know if this will fix it then that is fine, maybe someone else in the thread will have the same issue and be able to find a solution for me.

Thanks again!

Hi Vinsent13, what is your motherboard model? Oh, I see it Hero 9. I searched this thread for same codec as your board, looks like you need this driver from MoKiChU thread: Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB). You can wait for MoKiChU to reply to be sure.


Hi,

I already pointed this out to him in another thread : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?117605-DRIVERS-Realtek-Audio-(Intel-6x-7x-8x-9x-1xx)/page7...

And so, after suffering in the next topic with HDA on Win 11, I had to return to the UAD version ... but! )) Now it does not work in SS 3 in the "record" tab of the "voice equalizer" and "noise" functions.
I tried different versions, from here, from the Asus website from similar motherboards like my Hero 9. Doesn't work ((
I cleaned everything as in the topic, deleted everything manually, through DDU, nothing helps. More precisely, everything helped, but for some reason the functions described above do not work in SS 3. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

I have now repeated this entire process twice more. When opening up sonic studio or radar I still receive the message "The current system is not supported, or the audio driver has not been properly installed. TIMEOUT"
