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).

I can't seem to get any driver working with the Rog Strix B550-E Gaming WiFi

I did have it working (including the audio USB type-C) but accidentally installed Sonic Studio and tried to remove, which now means nothing seems to install (I've removed the inf files) but Windows Store won't install the Realtek Control Panel (or whatever it's called).

Hi,

Re-download your Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) Gen1 or Gen2 (Recommended) 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.

Hi MoKiChU, just wanted to confirm the correct driver package for my motherboard, as I'm a bit confused by the new dichotomy (Gen1/Gen2) on the ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound drivers. Based on what I've been able to determine, it looks the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero W-Fi utilizes the SupremeFX S1220 audio codec (a rebadged Realtek ALC1220). That leads me to believe Gen1 is the correct driver download for this, but I would appreciate it if you could confirm.

Also, it seems there was a major change in these drivers that requires a full cleanup and re-install, correct? Thanks much!

Note: AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_MB_v6.0.9254.1.zip is the last version that I installed, fwiw.

Perfect thanks!

Hi Mokichu,

When you enter any game, the amplify level section disappears and the sound is reduced by half when opening the game. I did a clean install and tried previous audio versions, same result. The same process works fine in windows 10, but it creates problems in windows 11.

Before game:
90793

when opening the game :

90794

In the advanced settings section, when you select the headphone in the rear panel section as the front speaker output and select the headphone again, the problem is fixed, but the sound in the games sounds very bad. In FPS games, it is not clear where the gun sound comes from. When you install the 6.0.9088.1 version published on Asus site, the sound does not turn down, but ss3 does not work. All works fine on Windows 10.

Motherboard X570-F Gaming. Current stable versions of all drivers are installed. All updates of Windows 11 are installed.
Can you help with this issue?

Thanks.

By looking at that square with an "S" in it under the "Ses Efekti" on your screnshots I can safely pressume you have the Sonic Studio app installed.
In the past I also installed all those "Radar" and "Studio" apps although I didn't need them. As far as I remember you can configure them for every specific app including games. I mean, may be that Sonic app is what causes your problem, it notices you running a game and it may change your sound configuration for that game.
I suggest you uninstall (remove) the Sonic Studio app and check if it helped, you can always reinstall it from https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9n81c41dq5sj
