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).

my friend I think you should be the one to keep quiet...your attitude towards the guy that tried to help you was what really got on my nerves...he told you exactly what you have to do in order to have the up-to-date drivers, and what did you do?! you started saying that you don`t trust the drivers that he uploads here and that you don`t need whatever component from the amd one etc... you should be gratefull that he gives you the choice...you can either install what he advised you or not, simple as that ...and with that I end it here, because we are polluting the thread with unnecessary chatter
have a nice day

PS: if any moderator finds this not to be apropriate he/she can delete this...thanks

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed how rude that dude's post was... Demeaning, demanding and mocking. Having said that, let's get back to work and enjoy the amazing and FULLY FUNCTIONAL drivers we get from Mokichu.

[itekweni]

Mokichu thank you for you precious work regarding the Realtek driver installation of which I followed to the letter but unfortunately it only worked for a couple of days then went back to same problem, my board is the Asus ROG Strix B460-F gaming and problem is that whilst watching either a movie or youtube and even watching live news cahnnel the sound becomes very soft and when I pull up the Realtek audio control and the Sonic studio I get the message that the wrong driver installed. I then repeat everything as per the first post and it will works to a fashion but then repeats the problem so I am thing of going down the route of a sound card which hopefully will solve audio problem, please keep up the good work and ignore ignorant people who do not appreciate your work.

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) from the first post of this thread.

In addition, in order to fix your issue :

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process
- Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process
- Disable the Smart Volume feature in the SS3 profile you are using.

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.

Who are you to talk about respect? You mocked Mokichu because he had a typo in his post? It is written in plain in English and you responded "I have no idea what that means." Please GO AWAY as you are the last forum contributor here to talk about respect.

Is there any kind of changelog for the driver updates?

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 ...

Thanks MoKiChU, much appreciated.

I installed the drivers but i can´t configure any DTS or DDL on the S/PDIF. It´s just transmitting PCM.
