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).

Hi, thanks very much for the drivers. I'm having an issue after installing the DTS processing type drivers on a Prime Z690-P Wifi D4 board. The DTS Audio Processing app just shows "DTS Audio Processing settings are unavailable as audio service connection lost." The Realtek Audio Console doesn't show anything, no devices or any other information, on its main screen.
Something I've noticed is that there's no DTS service running as far as I can tell - I believe there is supposed to be one. DTS is also not selectable from the built in Windows audio management options.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Since two days the effects of Sonic studio aren't working anymore. Until now I couldn't get them back. I already deinstalled and reinstalled the drivers and Sonic studio 3 - no success. Hope someone can help me with this. I am using Windows 11 - my Mainboard is X470-F Gaming.
My last choice wood be a new installation of Windows. But without knowing how to solve that problem it seem to be likely to run into this issue again.

Unfortunately it seems to have been removed, already tried the full clean-up and it's simply there on older drivers but not on the newer ones. It's a very niche feature so I'm not surprised, I just hope that it was done for an important reason and not just a careless shrug.
No complaints to Mokichu though, just for clarity. I get that Realtek makes these drivers and to be honest I have no idea where I'd even begin to leave a comment on a thing like this.
I'll eventually get an external audio interface that will render this obsolete, but it's a surprisingly killer feature to have directly on the motherboard for anyone getting into podcasting, streaming, etc. The older drivers work fine though and with something like audio it's not like a GPU driver where you can't necessarily just go without updates.
All in all, I wanted to make sure it was known and that I wasn't having a weird error on my end and to not just shrug and assume it gone only to find out that there was an easy fix had I only asked, you know?
Cheers though, appreciate it 🙂

I got the ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING a couple of days ago and it's been working great. However, when I install the Realtek Drivers the audio from the front-panel speakers becomes noisy and starts crackling a lot, especially with short sounds such as notifications (Windows, Discord, etc); back-panel speakers seem to work fine. I tried installing the drivers in this thread but it still had the crackling sound, maybe I used the wrong one? Or maybe I missed changing some setting somewhere...
Here are my specs:
- MOBO: ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING
- Front-panel plug type: unified speaker and mic
- Case: Ncase M1 V6.1
The front-speaker seems to work fine when using the default Windows Driver (not Realtek).

By any chance are there updated realtek drivers for the x570 boards (C8 Dark Hero in particular)?

Hi,
First of all, thank you so much for creating this thread and helping everyone!
My motherboard is a ROG Maximus XIII Hero Z590 - which driver will I need?
And also, not sure if you would know but would this fix an issue where my microphone is not working/being extremely quiet?
I've been having to use third party software (Voicemeeter) in order to be able to get people to hear me, I'm on Win 11 - if you don't know if this will fix it then that is fine, maybe someone else in the thread will have the same issue and be able to find a solution for me.
Thanks again!

I cleaned everything as in the topic, deleted everything manually, through DDU, nothing helps. More precisely, everything helped, but for some reason the functions described above do not work in SS 3. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Hi Vinsent13, what is your motherboard model? Oh, I see it Hero 9. I searched this thread for same codec as your board, looks like you need this driver from MoKiChU thread: Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB). You can wait for MoKiChU to reply to be sure.
