OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME/ProArt motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/8xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC40xx).
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).

Hey there, MoKiChU . Thanks for all that you do here. Until recently, I had the x570 TUF Gaming Pro wifi board, and have been using the drivers you post here since shortly after I got it and discovered your posts here.
Now, with the new x670/E and b650/E motherboards coming out with upgraded 2.5gig LAN, Wifi6e and SupremeFX/ALC4080 audio codecs, there are bound to be a lot of us who are upgrading, and aren't sure specifically which chipsets are on our new boards, and which drivers from you.
Any chance of a guide for which chipsets we have on which new boards, and which drivers we'll need? Or if they're not here currently, will they be added or put in a new thread?
Personally, I just bought the ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI. (Note that there are several variations of the Strix X670E, in A, F, E and I variants, with slightly varying features and presumably chipsets.) I haven't installed it yet, and figured I'd be better off starting with the latest drivers to avoid possible conflicts.
Thanks again! I'm posting this both here and in the Ethernet/wifi/bluetooth thread.

Hello,
I have looked through several pages of this thread and found either confusing answers or a lack of answers to people asking about my motherboard.
I am hoping someone can help me here as I originally came in here fed up with this issue and was going to make a separate post for support.
I have an ROG Strix B550-F motherboard.
Since the day I took the motherboard out of the box, the supplied audio drivers on the rog.asus.com website have NEVER worked. Not once over SEVERAL reformats.
If I install the manufacturer supplied drivers, the sound will not work. If I change the volume on the volume slider in the launch menu, it will lag and show no "response" where it usually indicates the tone being played with a fancy animation.
I have tried the drivers from the support page, and from Armoury Crate with no success. This issue has been ongoing for well over 2 years now with several attempts by myself to make it work. The only way I can get sound to work on this motherboard is by uninstalling the ROG supplied drivers and using the base windows ones.
Reviewing other posts about the B550-F in this thread I see a reference to Gen 1 or Gen 2. What is that and how do I identify my motherboard?
Referring back to the original post in this thread, I see several drivers and cleanup / installation processes listed with no instructions for identifying which one specifically should work with my motherboard.
How do I identify which driver I should be using? Again, this is a ROG Strix B550-F
Please help here. This issue has been a building frustration for the life of the motherboard, which wasn't cheap and wasn't sold with the promise of basic windows audio drivers.

Mokichu, can you please tell me, for the ASUS Z590 TUF Gaming Plus board, which driver should I use ?
I know I asked before, but I simply cannot find the answer anymore, or even my post where I asked.

Hi,
i upgraded from W10 21H2 to W11 22H2 and from this time i have trouble with my sound.
Sound is not so dynamic and the option for setting "plify" mode is missing so my headphones are on a really low volume.
The strange thing, sometimes the settings are there and after a view minutes it dissapears.
It tried some uninstall and install, change from win32 to Control Panels from Store but the problem is the same.
In addition it is confusing for me.
Realtek Audio Console, Sonic Studio, what do i need?
Can someone tell me what driver from this post will be the best one from my board?
And does someone else has the problems with the missing amplify settings and headphone impedance?
Thank you so much.

Hi,
You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :
You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3) 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.

Hi,
i cleaned up everything and installed it via the batch file. System is not asking for restart, its restarting instant after batch is done.
No apps have been installed, i installed them manually with your links.
Pflify setting is back atm but the really bad thing, it looks like there is no difference in left & right channel in my headphones anymore.
So in the Realtek Audio Console there are two speakers that i can click with mouse. If i click on the left speaker my right speaker is making noise as well.
Same feeling approved by a youtube video for gaming sound positioning in Battlefiled. That worked before updating to that driver.
Any ideas?
Thanks
