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 ALC40xx).
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).

i have a rog strix b350 f gaming -currently on windows 11- every time i try to install the "Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB) : " it will restart after the cmd and then it installs the microsoft driver 10.0.22000.1. am i installing the wrong driver package? thanks.

Hi,

You use the correct drivers package.

All the devices listed in Audio inputs and outputs category in your Device Manager are system devices, using system drivers which are not meant to be updated (whose version corresponds to the version of the system, Windows 11 21H2/CO/22000.x in your case).

The correct device to check in your Device Manager is Realtek(R) Audio device in Sound, video and game controllers category.

Hi,

You have an ASUS PRIME Realtek motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK 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.

Hello Mokichu! I've been using your drivers for a long time but for the past few versions I have a problem. My current mb is B550-E (SS3-DTS) and even when doing full cleanup the installer gets stuck while trying to install dtsapo4ultraAsusextensionpkg.inf. Can you tell me if there's fix for that? It doesn't matter if its Gen 1 or Gen 2, it always gets stuck.

It is not stuck, it takes a little longer to install. 🙂

Has anyone else lost their DTS licence after updating to the new drivers (Gen 2 in my case)? DTS Sound Unbound wants me to buy a new licence.
