OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.

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).

Hi!
I have the TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 and have been using the drivers for ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS AP MB as advised. Things are working, but I'm wondering why the update process takes several minutes to complete. There is a long wait on a certain point during the installation. I did the full clean-up, but the "problem" returns when I later update again. Any suggestions?

Hi,

It's not an issue, just be patient, DTS APO4x Extension Driver folder contains more than 6780 files in more than 240 subfolders.

Thanks for the update MoKichU:)

my sonic radar did not install automatically i dont know why

thanks for the new update

[TeutonJon78]

I'm curious which package the B450-i should have. https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b450-i-gaming-model/spec

I assume it would the SS3 package based on the specs, but the previous two driver packages have DTS files included. And they just released a new audio package (6.0.9244.1) which has support for "Support SS3VAC+DTSS Models", which includes the DTS Unbound App (and I tried that package, it all installed and worked, but I reverted back to the old drivers because I hate having to run separate audio devices to keep my headphones from being super loud).

It's weird that non of the other 4xx boards have that same updated driver posted, so I wonder if that is an error for this board, or why it's the only one with that.
