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).

Thread updated.

Global thanks to you Mokichu for all of the drivers on this stite thank to you. Random question that you can probably answer -- how specific are these audio drivers to Asus motherboards? I see quite a few .inf files w/Asus in the name but only one that references Asus in the file itself. Would these drviers work for any motherboard that has the same feature set (eg. DTS, Sonic Studio, etc)? Just curious.

Hey all,

Can someone please help me with my motherboard and sound drivers?

Here is my problem.

My motherboard is this: TUF GAMING B460-PLUS and the sound drivers this board has on the website are 6.0.8911.1. When I download them and extract the winrar, I get two Setups. One asussetup and another just setup. When I click asus setup and drivers are installed, the pc restards and I have sound drivers plus dts and the realtek audio console. When all 3 are installed, I get crackling sounds or noise. not sure how to explain. It's like the speakers are broken or don't support the sound. It's like for a second here another second there. happens when I listen to music or play games. When uninstall drivers then run just setup, the drivers are installed but no audio console panel or dts is there. The scratching crackling sound is not there anymore. Something is wrong with the drivers or the console from realtek. I installed these 6.0.9341.1 I got from here by run install as admin and the drivers are updated bu there is no realtek console or dts.

When windows 10 installs it's drivers, which are just High definition audio then there is no crackling at all. They're old, back in 2020.

Anyone has this issue? I see a lot of people online having this issue. They speak about doing some editing in settings which I did and did not help.

Anyone knows any drivers from 2020 till now with a realtek audio panel that work normally without crackling? I'm actually thinking to buy a sound card just because of this problem.

Thanks
