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).

Thank you for the whole explanation, it means a lot!
In my past experience that I have with SS3, I didn’t like the EQ on it because I play mostly FPS games and it messed the audio in games, I just put the “Powerful” EQ on the Realtek Audio Control app and it sounds perfect, other than that I don’t change anything.
I will just go ahead and update the driver via the updater in the folder and keep it like that.
Thank you very much for your help and for providing us with these perfect drivers!

by disabling the DTS Custom audio effect from the app, shouldn't the equalizer be available again in the Asus Realtek Audio Control app?

Does anyone know if uninstalling DTS Custom enables the speaker equalizer in the Asus Realtek Control app?
No, no EQ will appear in Realtek Audio Control in your playback devices if you uninstall DTS Custom app, except for SPDIF output which was already the case with DTS Custom app installed.
You can disable your DTS Custom audio effect from DTS Custom app as explained previously, but since the EQ is in your third party app (DTS Custom), you need to keep DTS Custom if you want it. It is by design (if a third party app is built-in, the equalization is done via the third party app).

What driver are required for Asus X470-F Gaming Strix?
Hi,
You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :
You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) 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.

So you have to accept that my motherboard will never sound good with music, DTS (especially with those 3 presets) is something that is good for games but not for music.
Do you think that even if I installed the HDA drivers with Realtek HD Audio Manager I would have a Realtek equalizer?

Hello!
I just switched to Asus TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI, with Realtek S1220A audio, and I have some troubles with my 5.1 sound system. All the speakers are working in test, but the subwoofer has no sound in music, games or any app.
I first installed the driver from the Asus MB page and then I remembered that I had the same problem last time with the old Asus ROG MB, so I tried your latest driver (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME/ProArt RTK), which was very good back then. The subwoofer still not working and the Realtek Audio Console from your folder has an error and it won’t download, and can't be manually found on the Microsoft Store.
I’ve got an offline installer from GitHub, the app is working fine, but the subwoofer still not.
As I remember from the previous MB, the Audio Console had an option to swap center speaker with subwoofer and that did the trick. The current app it doesn’t had that option. Also, with an older driver that I’ve tried now, the Console was installed automatically, and that option was available (and two other more) but it wasn’t functional, no changes were made by clicking the switches. I tried to change by hand the jacks in different slots, but no good.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
You tried to install/use an incorrect drivers package for your motherboard.
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.

Oh, I thought it's a normal HD Audio..
Thanks, I'll try it now.
L.E. I've installed the recommended driver, everything works fine, except the subwoofer 😁

Since your issue also occurs with the last audio drivers package from your motherboard support page : Contact ASUS Support and/or open a new thread in this ROG Care category : ROG Care - Hardware & Software Support - Gaming Motherboards.

Thank you very much for your answer. I'll try to contact Asus Support if I can't find a solution or post a new thread.
