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 Mo,

Can i use this set for my Zenith Extreme?

- Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3) :

I was getting a weird slight drop/dip in sound every 5 secs, almost unnoticeable so uninstalled all my audio drivers, then had a nightmare redownloading them, getting errors from Microsoft store for Realtek audio control download, then found this thread, i have done everything up to the point of running the install, but nothing seems to happen, no auto restart notification, nothing.

plz Lmk, this is driving me nuts

[kyton]

HOw does one fix the impeadance issue.  update drivesand instead of 32 ohms it shows  over 420 ohms

Hello!! Congratulations for your work!! I have a Realtek Audio sound card (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS Custom), I would like to know if it is possible to add an equalizer and other functions to the analog audio output? From what I saw, there is only an equalizer on the digital audio output. It's a shame I paid so much for my motherboard and sound card it came so simple!!

Hi,

Correct. You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :

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

Hi,

Since you have an ASUS TUF DTS Custom motherboard, it is by design, it's intended to work like this at least for ASUS products : If a third party app is built-in (DTS Custom in your case), the equalization is done via the third party app/drivers.

[FelipePR10]

Hi,

So DTS Custom only works when I use a headset, when I use the analog audio outputs there is no effect option and it doesn't work!! Are there any third-party apps/drivers you recommend that can at least give me the option of an equalizer??

[MoKiChU]

As workaround :

- Try FxSound equalizer : https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/fxsound/XP8JK4TBQ03LZ4

or

- Switch to HDA/Legacy audio drivers (at your own risk, this is obsolete for your motherboard) :

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process.
- Download Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers (HDA - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME DTS&RTK) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (AMD Legacy 6xx/7xx/8xx/9xx & Intel 6x/7x/8x/9x/1xx).
- Follow scrupulously the INSTALL process from ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME Realtek motherboards category.

Hi,

MoKiChU is simply amazing!!
Thank you very much!! I tested both options and they worked perfectly!!
thank you very much!!

[FelipePR10]

Hi,

I tested two options here, I'll stick with the first "FxSound equalizer", as the second option leaves the WhatsApp application muted, I only corrected it when I deactivate enhancements.

Hello, I'm impressed by your dedication to all of us, thanks for this necessary answers and a huge number of drivers 😁🙌

I hope you succeed and give me advice
Several years ago I built a good computer for 3D graphics and never bothered about the drivers, I installed all the standard ones from Windows and Asus.
But
I have a problem, as it turned out two years later
I decided to buy myself wireless headphones for playing cs2, but as it turned out, the sound was extremely muffled and there was a lot of echo, which was extremely uncomfortable for my ears.
I searched a lot of information and it is quite possible that this is an audio codec and driver problem.
In general, I decided to follow your scheme and try to remove all the drivers and reinstall them.
P.S. The sound other than the game is also not very good, but on a friend’s computer the headphones sound good 🗿

My motherboard:
asus rog strix x570-e gaming wifi ii
WIN10/64
What drivers do I need?
