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).

Hello,

I wanted to know if there is a changelog/release notes for each release? I could not find them online, but maybe you know where to look at.
Since almost every X weeks a new driver drops, it would be nice to know what changed. For exmaple: "Drivers : 6.0.9003.1 WHQL [11/08/2020]", "Drivers : 6.0.9008.1 WHQL [18/08/2020]". A webpage or something similar would be helpful. Thank you.

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 ...

Ah... I see. This must be the reason I could not find it :). Anyway, thank you.

Hi,

As stated on the first post of this thread, in order to know which drivers package to use, match the specifications of your motherboard with the apps.

Example for your current & your futur motherboard :

- ROG Strix Z390-F : https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z390-F-GAMING/specifications/



So, it's an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard.

- ROG Strix Z490-F : https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z490-F-GAMING/specifications/



So, it's an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard.

Thanks for information

Hi,

You have an ASUS TUF DTS Custom motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS Custom MB) 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.
