Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx 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 Mokichu, sorry about for not using a greeting in the past, I went back and there were a few. I agree with you, a little nicety here and there goes a long way. You do us a great favor by compiling what the latest is, not only audio drivers but others too. Thank you for that.

I am sure you remember my avolute software component woes from a couple of weeks ago. The issue was, out of all things, the location where I extracted the 7z file. If I picked the folder I use for storing all backup drivers, on extraction a \\?\ line was being added and therefore the cmd script wasn't able to use it ...

Never seen anything like this before, Windows is weird and this maybe because of OneDrive or maybe even WinRAR I use. But anyway, it seems problem is solved for now.

Hi,

Well done, your analyze/search in order to find the root cause of your issue it's a good initiative.

Hi (continue not to say hi/hello and I will no longer respond to the person who does not say hello, i'm fed up with this lack of politeness, I am not at your service),

If you are not satisfied with what I offer, I suggest you use the drivers from your product support page instead use what I
offer.

Mokichu thanks !

It's interesting how much Realtek keeps fiddling with the control panel w/these recent releases. The amplification dropdown disappeared a few releases ago and with this new release, they've moved the equalizer and some other settings from Sonic Studio into the control panel. Works fine as always, but make up your mind Realtek!!

Hi MoKiChU,

First of all thanks for all your hard work! I wanted to confirm I installed the correct drivers: I have an Asus TUF 505DT which came with DTS Headphone X V.1 per-installed so I went with the TUF headphone X v.1 motherboard package last week. I have the 6.0.8984.1 version installed right now.

My main problem is that, when I still had my original Realtek driver, the loudness equalization toggle disappeared some time ago from the Realtek Audio Console for no apparent reason .Oddly enough when I would reinstall the Realtek driver the toggle would be there but disappear again on a restart. Your newer driver packages were my final hope but, unfortunately, the LE toggle is still missing even though everything installed fine. I think DTS Headphone X is the ultimate culprit but I don't get why it worked just fine for 6 months. The DTS Audio app has some extra options when I don't have my headphones plugged in but when they are the options are very limited (primarily to headphone types) and the LE toggle is still missing from the Realtek Audio Console. If you or anyone else have any ideas I would really appreciate it.I'll check out your current updated drivers and do a clean install on them with the full cleanup process and hope for the best.

Thanks again!

Are you referring to the Amplification setting in Realtek CP? The drop down with Performance, Balanced, and Extreme? That option disappeared a couple releases ago. Realtek took it out of CP for some reason. When you update to these latest drivers, you get the latest CP and Sonic Studio apps. But these apps are downloaded from Windows Store shortly after you reboot, so you may briefly see old CP and then the new one once Windows installs the latest from the Store. So it's Realtek changing or moving these options in the latest CP download, not the drivers themselves.

I tried Clean Install MoKiChU and it seems that the script didnt install new driver, i had to install it manually in device manager. Update from 8994 didnt work aswell :confused:
