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,

I no longer offer audio drivers packages for notebooks/laptops in order to focus on my original field : DIY/Motherboards.

Please refer to your product support page to download the appropriate drivers for your product.

Hey, Mokichu. While I understand your decision, I don't get why you removed your driver pages instead of archiving them. I could have downloaded the last one on your notebook audio drivers page but now my only option is getting the 2 years old driver from Asus support page of my GX551 laptop. I hope you reconsider your decision and make your previous work on notebook audio drivers available.

Thank you again Mokichu for your work !

What does those updates bring usually, let's say, compared to the ones a month ago ?
Out of curiousity, if they are bringing more performance/quality of sound, or they just are expanding the range of compatitibility of new/other products (headsets/microphones etc...) mostly ?

Thank you 🙂

Hi,

My decision is final and not revocable : I focus on my original field which is DIY/Motherboards.

Hi,

Realtek never provides changelog, however I can tell you in general that the changes are adds of new hardware IDs, bug/security fixes, improvement of the sound spectrum, support for new games/apps/OS etc ...

Thx for your answer and effort, it would be nice to keep A-Volute drivers updated tho, as they don't do it on a regular basis...

It will be updated by Windows Update (your current version is newer than the version available via Windows Update, but as soon as this is no longer the case, it will be updated by Windows Update).

Hi,

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF MB) from this thread. Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.

Note (in order to choose correctly the install/update process to use) : You have a ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard.
