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 have an Asus Rog Maximus XIII Hero motherboard, so I must install these drivers: ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound Intel/AMD motherboards - correct ?






I have installed the drivers in the way you suggested (before this I cleaned all the drivers as you explained) but the

Realtek Audio Control/Console app doesn't install automatically and when I try to download this app from the Microsoft Store I cannot download it because I get this error: 0x803FB005


How can I solve this issue ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

1) You are in the wrong thread (I have already told you which thread is the correct one for your motherboard).
2) You have not installed the drivers package that I indicated to you.

So please follow the instructions I gave you (rigorously this time, please), and no longer post in this thread which does not concern your motherboard :

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,

i am using the B550-F Gaming and i have big Issues with my onboard Audio. When i using your Drivers , or the Drivers from the Website , the Audio is a bit delayed, especially in Games.

For Example: You take a Shot in Call of Duty , you see your shot and shortly after that comes the sound, it´s very little Delay, but you feel it and this is annoying.

Or when i do the little Sound Test in Realtek Console, it´s delayed too.

I can fix this with the Setting "Disable all Audio Enhancements" than the Delay is completely gone, but than i can´t use SonicStudio, DTS and so on

I´ve reinstalled Windows completely and test all Driver Version that i can find. I use a standard 2.1 Speaker Systen and for Gaming a Stereo Headset.

Have someone an Idea?

Hi everyone,

REMINDER @ Everyone (but more precisely to those who use Windows 11) : Check that the Enhance audio/Signal Enhancements setting is enabled (otherwise your audio effects will not work) :

Windows 11

Right click on sound icon tray > Audio settings > Click on your audio output/input devices to enter in their Properties :



Windows 10

Right click on sound icon tray > Sound > Playback/Recording tab > Click on your audio playback/recording devices > Properties > Advanced tab :

Hi everyone,

Total noob here... needs some explanation.
I've recently build a new PC with an ASUS X570-E GAMING motherboard. It's been 10+ years since I built one 😛

Do I need any of these drivers posted here and if so, why and which ones?
Are the original drivers not okay?

If I understand correctly, the original drivers provided don't work correctly for surround sound. I have a 5.1 system BTW.
These drivers provided here are modified to make everything work as intended? Am I correct?

What I find confusing on the ASUS driver download page is which ones to choose. The top ones seem to be the most recent ones. But then there are 'older' entries which seem to provide more or even other apps/drivers.
I even had to download additional drivers through Windows update to get my Bluetooth working. Not sure that's how it's supposed to be :rolleyes:

I also installed Sonic Suite but this wasn't inlcuded in the drivers. I found this by accident in the Windows store. What gives, ASUS?

Anyway, I would really appreciate some help or explanition if I need additional/other drivers and which ones to pick. I'm quite confused.
And thanks MoKiChU for your work (even if I wouldn't need them? 😄 )

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The installation method used by ASUS can actually cause conflicts with Windows Update.

The driver packages I offer are up to date, WHQL certified (not modded), and mainly drivers only using an Microsoft official install method (via Microsoft PnPUtil), which are Windows Update Ready (i.e. even if Windows Update updates an item of the drivers package, it will not generate any conflict or other oddities).


You need these drivers for your new ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming motherboard :

[DRIVERS] AMD Chipset/SATA (3xx/4xx/5xx/TRX40)

- AMD Chipset Drivers

[DRIVERS] Intel Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

- Intel Ethernet Drivers (Drivers Only) :

Drivers - I21x-AT (1.0GbE)

- Intel WiFi Drivers (Drivers Only) :

Drivers - 9xxx/AX2xx

- Intel Bluetooth Drivers (Drivers Only)

[DRIVERS] Realtek Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

- Realtek Ethernet Drivers (Drivers Only)

[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx)

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 the 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.

[XA4BE]

Wow, great. Thank you for replying so fast and the explantion!

Okay, I'll give it a try, making sure I follow your steps correctly.

EDIT: one more question, does this mean the next updates will install correctly through Windows update or should I come back here and update from your links?
I have bookmarked this page nonetheless.

EDIT2: Ah, this is what I need to do to update:

- Launch "Install.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > Automatic restart when install is done

Note : Realtek Audio Control/Console + Sonic Studio III & Sonic Radar III + DTS Sound Unbound will be updated automatically via the MS Store.
