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).

Bud, it doesn't matter what I plug into this board. Windows doesn't see any rear or front panel audio.

I'm aware of your situation. I was asking the other guy a question. Both of you guys have the same motherboard and it's the only Motherboard in the Strix Z5xx series with a USB C audio port. I'm curious (in general) if the Audio Driver installer on the support page installs both USB and analog audio jack drivers. Anyway, my question to him had nothing to do with you. My apologies if there was a misunderstanding.

Hi,

Some people complained that my drivers packages (not only audio) compressed in .7z were detected as malicious by their anti-viruses, so I re-compressed all my previous releases (not only audio) in .zip (yes, it took me a lot time), and all my future drivers packages releases will be compressed in .zip (since the .7z compression is much more efficient than the .zip, the size of the compressed drivers packages in .zip are heavier).

Hi everyone,

@ ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards users : Due to a major change in the drivers packages architecture, 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,
thank you supporting us. Done this as described above. For now everything is working fine. I cant find any DTS APO device in device manager. Is this the major change? My mb is a Strix B550-F.
