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).

when i install your latest package for my b550-f Gaming it shows two Drivers in Driver Explorer, is this a Bug? It´s a fresh windows Install an i use the correct Drivers for my DTS Unbound Mainboard.

Thanks @MoKiChU:cool:

On 9228 the highs; like with high hat and cymbals, sound a little clipped, and the bass a bit heavier than my now favorite 9209.

Sorry for the stupid question, how do I know what kind of motherboard mine (Rog Strix Z490-A Gaming) is in this sense? I am having a problem with recording Zoom (or Teams) lectures (the sound appears with some sort of boom echo that is not present on my other device - cheap HP laptop - and appears only in recordings, not in live stream) and tried to uninstall and reinstall all audio drivers, but the official Asus package does not seem to be installing (Asus setup does not work on my machine and I don't know why), so now I have lost all sound. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

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.

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.

[vermelho]

I have a weird bug: when plugging my headphone in the front panel (didn't try back panel and also have the question, is there a difference between front and back?) they are not recognized unless I enable and disable the "Disable front panel jack detection" switch on Realtek Audio Control. Else the PC just acts like nothing was plugged.

My motherboard is a Crosshair VI Hero and I downloaded the UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB 6.0.9231.1 and done everything as stated to cleanup and install. Did I get it right? Should I stick to the MoBo support page driver and downgrade the driver or it's a bug indeed?

A friend of mine is using your software and I can feel the difference in quality he gets. I want to install it on my own computer, but I didn't know which file to download. My motherboard is Asus Prime B450M-K II. I don't have an external sound card. I would be very grateful if you could tell me the suitable driver. Thanks. :rolleyes:
