OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.

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,

You have an ASUS TUF DTS Audio Processing motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS AP) 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.

Thanks a lot

[schm0]

Thanks for the update.
I still have the bug that the profile switching does not work with some applications, sometimes...
(But it hasn't happened for quite some time now and idk what triggers this)
Custom profiles also don't work for those applications.
However, I think I found I fix (instead of cleanup + reinstall and hope that it works next time)
In the registry go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nahimic\NAHIMICV3\NahimicSettings\Applications
There will be subkeys of all detected applications.
Navigate to the key of the bugged application, for example foobar.exe and click it.
On the right side should be bunch of other keys visible now.
Right click somewhere: New -> DWORD (32bit) -> Name: Visibility -> Value: 1
Restart Sonic Studio and the profile switching/custom profile should be fixed for this application.
Repeat for every other bugged application.

Hey guys some help here If I have this Mobo (Rog Strix X670E-E)

Which one I should use DTSX Ultra or DTS AP

Hi all, I am integrating Realtek drivers into a Windows 11 image, but they are not showing up in my Device Manager. (Except for the main driver). Same story when I install the drivers via inf files. If I install via exe, everything is displayed. What could be the reason for this behavior?

I have updated first and DTS Custom would be ON when headphones were not connected. Then I did the CLEANUP process, installed again and now it's working as expected (DTS shows "connect headphones").

Just to confirm - all the "realtekservice.inf" entries I deleted were connected with HD Audio? I also have a Realtek NIC and want to be sure I didn't mess up something (Internet works, as you can see 🙂 ).

Hi,

Correct.

Hi,

You are in the wrong thread.

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC40xx codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (AMD 5xx/6xx/8xx & Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx).

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.
