OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.

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).

When you say:

Do you mean this entire section of installing the apps is optional or that Realtek Audio Control/Console is required and Sonic Studio III & Sonic Radar III is optional?

Hi,

Only Sonic Radar III is optional. However, you posted 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 this 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.

[MoKiChU]

Hi everyone,

As reminder, you can determine for yourself which drivers package does your motherboard need thanks to these indications :

First, the hardware requirements, in order to be in the right thread :

[DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 5xx/6xx/TRX40)

Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG motherboards with Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets with ALC408x codec.
Hardware requirements (AMD - AM4/AM5) : ASUS ROG motherboards with AMD 5xx/6xx series chipsets with ALC408x codec.
Hardware requirements (AMD - sTRX4) : ASUS ROG/PRIME motherboards with AMD TRX40 chipset.

[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx)

Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).

[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (Intel 6x/7x/8x/9x/1xx & AMD Legacy 6xx/7xx/8xx/9xx)

Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 6x/7x/8x/9x/1xx series chipsets.
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD Legacy 6xx/7xx/8xx/9xx series chipsets.

Second, the drivers package type :

Note : In order to know which drivers package to use, match the audio specifications of your motherboard with the apps or ask me.

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

- Sonic Studio I : You have an ASUS ROG SS1 motherboard
- Sonic Studio II : You have an ASUS ROG SS2 motherboard
- 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

Hi everyone. Im posting here cause idk what can i do. I have ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING mobo and I downloaded the "outdated" realtek drivers throught asus support page and after installing the drivers and rebooting no realtek drivers showing up in device manager or anywhere. I found this thread and i installed "ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards" as Mokichu recommended (with CLEAN installation step by step) to others users with same mobo but nothing changes.
I have disabled fast boot on windows and mobo but no effects. Thanks in advance

[WorldofShadows]

Thank you!
Cleaned up and Installed the correct drivers and removed the "Third Party" folder and it works like a charm. And this time the Realtek Console did install correctly 🙂

Hey guys, I'm using an ASUS Prime B450M-A and the latest drivers from Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK) broke my back panel, it can no longer recognize my Microphone, and when I try to reconnect it, the entire Realtek Audio option disappears (means no audio as well).

I been using this driver package for months now with no issues, with only the latest one giving this problem, I even tried to do a clean install to no vail.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, and I apologise in advance, if it's indeed a driver bug the warning was given.

Hello,I am new here too.
I'm currently using an Asus ROG Crosshair X670E HERO with an R5 7600X and when I try to open Sonic Studio 3 I get this error " The current system is not supported, or the audio driver has not been properly installed. TIMEOUT" I've downloaded and the drivers from asus's website it worked for a ~1 month after a clean install and now this. Here are the updated versions:
-I've updated my MB bios to the last(v 0922),
-I have updated Realtek USB Audio Driver V6.3.9600.2342 For Windows 10/11 64-bit.
-I have updated Audio ALC4080/ALC4082 FW update tool,(-Fixed SPDIF playing music is noisy),

I have audio but Sonic Studio isn't working I like using it....

Which version you downloaded should I use? I would be glad if you help.

Thanks.
