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).

Thanks you very much for the answer. Is there anyway to get Equalizer back to Speakers instead of DTS Custom APP like the others versions of realtek?

Hi,

With regard to ASUS products, if Third Party app using an APO (SS3, DTS Sound Unbound, DTS:X Ultra, DTS Headphone:X v1, DTS Custom ...) is installed, the equalization is done via Third Party app, if Third Party app is not installed, the equalization is done via Realtek Audio Control/Console app.

So normally, if DTS Custom app is installed, the equalization is done via DTS Custom app, if DTS Custom app is not installed, the equalization is done via Realtek Audio Control/Console app.

However if this is not the case for you (if DTS Custom app is not installed, and you still do not see the equalizer in Realtek Audio Control/Console app), since your issue occurring with drivers from your motherboard support page (and therefore that it is not specific to the drivers that I propose) : Open a ticket with ASUS Support.

Thanks, i'll open a ticket with ASUS because even only with the drivers installed, with no DTS custom app installed, i dont see the equalizer in Realtek Audio Control for the Speakers.

Hi,

This information is not sufficient to determine it.

Hi,

This information is not sufficient to determine it, however I found your motherboard model (ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero) in your old posts.

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.

Thats not for this board, I have systems with five different Asus boards, I am interested for drivers for ROG STRIX Z370-G Gaming, TUF Z390M-PRO GAMING, and ROG STRIX Z490-G GAMING. I understand they all have the S1220A.

I also have Maximus X and Maximus XI systems, but they are using dedicated sound cards with Realtek disabled.

Also, if you could explain how I should determine which drivers I need from your post.

Thank you, I think I get it now, the stuff like DTS Unbound is actually in the Asus software descriptions for the motherboards.
