OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/8xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC40xx).
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME 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 don't even see that Realtek Audio Control Console app icon on my taskbar notification bar, where is it?

In your Start menu, not tray icons, anyway you finded another way to do it & this fixed your issue.

If after that it still does not work for you, I have nothing else to suggest to you except a Windows 10/11 21H2 clean install.

Hi,

I have Maximus CODE IX z270

I disabled ZoneID "Group Policy Method" and I install
"Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK MB)"

I got error "Can not connect to RPC service" when launch Realtek Audio Control

and when I look to service I didn't find RtkAudioUniversalService

I did clean install, and problem still present!!

Hi,

You try to install/use a driver package unsuitable for your motherboard.

You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB) from the first post of this thread.

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.

I am just asking about the name change, tio confirm this
earlier, it used to be 'ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS AP MB' in the OPnow from the latest version 9376, am seeing 'ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS AP', here the MB is missing, hence asked for clarification.

My answer was intended to clear up any doubts about which audio drivers package to use with your motherboard.

In order to satisfy your curiosity about why this naming change, here is a more complete answer :

Historically I only offered the audio drivers packages for motherboards (since everything that I offered was AIMed for motherboards) which did not contain MB at the end of their naming, the MB ending was put in place when I offered the audio drivers packages for notebooks/laptops (NB) in order to distinguish them. Since I no longer offer audio drivers packages for notebooks/laptops (in order to focus on my original field : DIY/Motherboards), the naming of the audio drivers packages for motherboards has returned to the original (without MB at the end of their naming).

Hi,

You are in the wrong thread.

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 the thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx & 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.

[Luke77]

Oh that s why maybe i got now this error when i try to install and launch Realtek audio control : impossible to connect to rpc services........??

[Luke77]

Is it normal also that i can t find no more the driver uninstaller that i found the first time in Windows start setup application ???

Is it normal also that in the device manager that window keep reinstalling me always the same driver ??? i unistall it manualy but on retart it s here again ...

[Luke77]

So i installed the correct version , but when i apply the install exe it beging to open a black windows and install stuff , but i stay stuck on " inf file dtsapo4ultraAsusextensionpkg.inf" and the computer doesn t restart . I have to close the ms dos windows manualy and then restart my pc manualy ...is it normal ?? as what you written on the first page of this thread it s seems to be not normal at all. lol
I think i will stick with the driver from asus coz it seems to now work with me at all...
