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).

Hi everyone,

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.

Hi,

Correct, Realtek has made a major architecture change of the SS3-DTS drivers type, which causes that DTS APO4x SWC devices/drivers are no longer used with the new Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) architecture.

[LocoDiceGR]

I dont know if its my imagination..but the new update seems to have given some better quality on the sound. Dunno!

Hi there, just found yesterday this thread since I had some issues with Forza Horizon 5 crashes to desktop, and allegedly the culprit for Win11 was A-Volute driver.
Thanks so much for making this awesome pack, but wanted to check for my specs Z390 Maximus XI Hero-Wi-Fi,on Win11 Pro, if I can get the DTS X codec to work. I have first used the Cleanup software tool provided to delete old drivers (.inf) and used the cmd intall.
Can anyone tell me why I can't get DTS X to work? Also I had to install manually all the Sonic, Realtek Console and DTS X from the links provided, not sure if this should matter, since the auto install after restart didn't happen.
