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).

No, this patch will not be compatible with the following releases.

I modified the process/patch/link that i gave you above so that you can apply it in future drivers packages releases.



Hi,

I also got this Sonic Studio III v3.6.10.0 update from MS Store (like all ROG SS3 and ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound users) but I have no issue.

Try clean install (CLEANUP process then INSTALL process).


i will try but is a clean install and just updates applied. just 2 including these one. I will make the process of cleanup. I will report back later today
Thanks MoKiChU

A Volute and Nahimic was sold to SteelSeries. these issue is not new. these has come since 1903. There is a reason for these and is not my place. there are people more intelligent to explain these on app level. But we will have to adapt. and I am gratefully that i have audio.

Now, i can be wrong. but since these 2020 is the start of UWP applications push by MS. some new changes are in. I check why the issue and is my Razer Seiren Elite. is working fine but SS3 do not like it. I will plug the other one i have tomorrow that is the beyerdynamic FOX and test. Since I am doing something new now, i can not test all scenarios. need to be ready for June 27 but i will test all sides since i like my music nice.

These 2 apps are not push by MS anymore. but are needed and is need on all Realtek OEM board


You may be have kind of conflicts with others devices/drivers/softwares, so in order to determine which one generates the conflict, try this :

- Disconnect all the USB dongle peripheral devices.
- Uninstall all the software of your headset/headphones/mic and/or peripheral devices which could contain audio modules like ROG Armoury (even if you installed the software for a device which is not audio).
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, but this time to prevent Windows Update from generating a drivers install conflict, disable your Internet connection from the start of the CLEANUP process until the end of drivers install of the INSTALL process (after the restart).

If everything works after that, reconnect the USB dongle & Install the software of your headset/headphones/mic/peripheral devices one by one in order to determine which one generates the conflict then that you can report it to the adequate support service of the problematic device.

I did thanks. Yes was my razer serien elite. even that the peripheral does not have any software at all, windows install 2 one for mic and other other for the wavetable since has internal dac. once that is off (disconnect from the pc) the SS3 will not crash. i think ss3 do not like my mic 😃 . is ok. I ask my friend to borrow it, since they have almost the same functionality and test other ports on my board. I will dig more if i can more data. thanks for the tips. the odd part is that is not always and if you try to access once 1 the first crash the SS3 give you a note. I will send that later, since i know what is what i can duplicate. i will send that later.

Just wanted to let you know that installing the ROG SS3 package was NOT reversible with WIndows 10 system recovery (i created a restore point prior to installing these) , resulting in a hanging restore process trying to recover the registry.

Something with that driver install has messed with things it shouldnt mess with.


Hi,

Please stop falsely accusing my drivers package, if your system recovery did not done as expected, this has nothing to do with my drivers package (moreover, there is a CLEANUP process dedicated to uninstall drivers).

I did this step, but realtek does not install, there is an error in the microsoft store when trying to install Realtek Audio Control, should I follow the step with SSVM Remover Patch?

I just wanted the drivers to work with realtek audio control with equalizer as it worked before, what should I do? I'm kind of lost here in the information.


Hi,

You used a wrong Install/Update process, there is only one suitable for your motherboard, you must use only this one, so :

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.

About SSVM, read the following :


@ ASUS ROG SS3 users : SSVM is no longer included/used in your drivers package and this feature is now reserved only for ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound users (as it is the original case). Download the new/updated drivers package then 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.


Thread, post & drivers package updated.

I'm curious if the latest Realtek drivers v6.0.8967.1 have been posted?


Hi,

Nothing indicates that the next WHQL release of the UAD drivers will be build v6.0.8967.1, but it should be released soon whatever the build.

HI,

I installed the latest drivers and now I have some Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer along with my other audio devices. I have never had this before. I tried to uninstall it but It doesn't exist in the app listing or Program Files. Why it did stealth install on my comp? I think we should have a choice what to install what not. Please help me remove this Virtual Mixer thing. My mobo: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming and I installed the drivers with Install_ROG_SS3.cmd as advised. Thank You.


Hi,

As previously explained, SSVM is no longer included/used in your drivers package, so download the new/updated drivers package then 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.

Hi,

Thank you very much I did a full cleanup, downloaded new updated version of the drivers, installed it and now it is all gucci 🙂 Virtual mixer is gone and sound works as intended. The only change I noticed is that now when I use GoXlr mixer connected via usb when I open Realtek Audio Console or HD Manager, they are blank and it says "You are seeing a blank page because there is no audio devices plugged in the system. To activate GUI, please plug an audio device in the system" When I plug in my headphones directly to my pc front audio jack then the Audio Console and HD manager are populated. In the previous versions I could see both consoles populated even when I had everything routed vis GoXLR mixer since I use it as my main audio device. GoXLR is an audio device and it's plugged in the system so I don't understand why I get this message now. Anyway Thx for the updated drivers 🙂

Which Audio Driver (Win 7) do i need for a ROG STRIX Z370-I GAMING Motherboard?:confused:


Hi

- Windows 7 support ended since few month now : https://support.microsoft.com/help/4057281/windows-7-support-ended-on-january-14-2020
- UAD drivers are not Windows 7 compatible.

So, you have 2 solutions :


- Either you update to Windows 10 (https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10), and in this case :

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.


- Either you stay on Windows 7 at your own risk, and in this case :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (HDA - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF) from my HDA drivers thread.

Follow scrupulously the INSTALL process (with cleanup step) of ASUS ROG SS1/SS2 motherboards category but with these SS3/SR3 Legacy apps :

- Sonic Studio III Win32/Legacy v3.6.45.60920 : Link
- Sonic Radar III Win32/Legacy v3.6.45.60920 (Optional) : Link

The amplifier in Audio Control is missing
