OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).

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,

SS3 Companion has been set up by A-Volute to check/update your version of SS3 app & SS3 APO driver.

For people who follow me, this tool is useless, you can disable the launch of the SS3 Companion on Windows startup via SS3 Companion GUI, but for people who do not follow me, it allows them to have their SS3 app & SS3 APO driver up to date.



Everything you need is contained in your drivers package.



Yes that's normal (Drivers Only), if one day you want uninstall your Realtek Audio Drivers, just follow your CLEANUP process as explained previously.

Â*
I got one more question the driver says Realtek and not Realtek high definition how do I get the high definition part? Do I need a different driver or is there a way to enable it and for it to say high definition?Â*

Again, everything you need is contained in your drivers package. You don't have to touch or enable anything.

All depends on the generation of your motherboard :

[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx) | UAD : Realtek Audio in Device Manager
[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 6x/7x/8x/9x/1xx) | HDA : Realtek High Definition Audio in Device Manager

I have Asus z390e with i7-9700k wouldn't I use this one then Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 6x/7x/8x/9x/1xx)? (SS1/SS2)?

No, I have already told you which drivers package to use with your motherboard.

Please do not waste my time asking questions that I have already answered.

If you had read the Hardware requirements at the bottom of the first post of the thread, you would know that the title refers to chipsets series and not to CPUs series :

Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx series chipsets (except ROG 5xx ALC408x).

Thank you so very much.

Same problem, crackling is present whatever I do. (Latest mobo bios, latest drivers, windoze 10)

Workaround is to run this stupid realtek audio panel go to "device advanced settings", change output from headphone to front speaker output and then back, crackling is gone until next restart.

Quoting this from my audio issues thread on this forum. This actually works on my B550-F, currently using the latest MoKiChU driver, MSI mode and hibernation disabled.

UAD 6.0.9231.1 drivers on a X470-PRO with Quadraphonic speakers (4.0) doesn't output 4.0 audio with Diablo II Resurrected. Only does 2.0/Stereo.

Uninstalling the Realtek drivers and going back to the default Microsoft ones works fine (for 4.0, I have to select 5.1 audio settings, disable extra speakers, and make sure Channel Phantoming is enabled).

Hi Mokichu,

Firstly I would like to convey my thanks for all of your efforts in maintaining this invaluable community Realtek Audio resource.

I have used the drivers posted here for some time now and the install advice has always been more than adequate. In June I experienced an unrelated failure of my Asus Prime X299 Edition 30 (upon which these drivers were previously installed without issue) necessitating RMA to Asus. To cut a long story short (and over 8 weeks!) the failure was ultimately confirmed and the retailer informed me that Asus could not replace the Motherboard instead providing a full refund. Owing to the unique nature of this board and components already purchased to take full advantage I was left to source a new Edition 30 in replacement.

Eventually, I was able to source one overseas and though considerably more expensive I finally have my replacement! Windows 10 Pro X64 21H1 was clean installed in the last few days and the Drivers updated to their latest releases including the Realtek Audio Drivers listed here. As my Motherboard uses the Realtek® S1220A 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC which features DTS X Ultra I selected your V6.0.9231.1 UAD Driver (31/08/2021) for ASUS TUF/PRIME DTSX Ultra Motherboards.

As usual, I believe I have followed your step by step guides:

CLEANUP:

1) Uninstall Drivers, and Apps (Start > Settings > Apps) - [NB. No Apps were Present] then restart your PC
2) Launch Driver Store Explorer > Checking the boxes of all versions of drivers which .inf starts with a-volute | avolute | dts | hdx [NB. Non Present] only realtek
3) Check the box "Force Deletion" then click on the "Delete Driver" button then restart your PC

Upon restart followed by:

INSTALL:

1) Launch "Install.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > [NB. Automatically restarted]
2) Automatic installation of Realtek Audio Control/Console after rebooting, [NB. Installs but reports "Cannot connect to RPC service"]
3) Automatic installation of DTS:X Ultra [NB. Does not install & unable to install manually reports error 0x803FB005 when attempting manual download]

The Audio Drivers - Device Manager (Each of: Line In, Microphone, Realtek Digital Output & Speakers report V10.0.19041.1 {Microsoft - 06.12.19})

All attempts to uninstall Device fail upon reboot and Windows does not offer the "Delete the driver software for this device" checkbox. It does not show up in Driver Store Explorer (the only reported instances of 10.0.19041.1 being Printer Drivers prnms001.inf & prnms009.inf) with only realtekasio.inf (1.0.0.8 - 24.03.21) & hdxasus.inf (6.0.9231.1 - 31.08.21) listed.

Clearly I am missing something this time, what am I doing wrong :confused: ??

Thanks in anticipation of your step by step advice 🙂

UPDATE: 30.09.21

All now resolved....

To assist others, I discovered that I had overlooked the Driver (Realtek High Definition Audio Driver) offered in the Armoury Crate Tools > Drivers menu :rolleyes: which installs 'Realtek High Definition Audio Driver' which then becomes visible in Control Panel > Programs & Features and also in Device Manager > Sound, Video & Game Controllers as 'Realtek(R) Audio' after which the magic starts!!

I was then able to follow Mokichu's instructions and all installs flawlessly including the Realtek Audio Console App and DTX Ultra App and now all is perfect and the Audio Console confirms that the 6.0.9231.1 is installed. Finally I was at last able to configure my Logitech Z907 audio settings once more so normal service is resumed 🙂

Hope this helps someone in due course, otherwise apologies to all for the false alarm and thank you to all those who looked!
