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).

MoKiChU, after I installed the new driver I saw that a Speaker configuration (Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer) appeared, did I install the wrong driver or is this something new? Because due to bugs in Sonic Studio I chose to use the Realtek UAD driver and control panel only, thank you.

Hi,

If you are looking to perform a custom install, please refer to this post : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?117596-DRIVERS-Realtek-Audio-(UAD-Intel-2xx-3xx-4xx-amp-AM...

Hi,

- Realtek Only (like ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF RTK motherboards but the equalizer in Realtek Audio Control will not work) : Delete the ThirdParty folder from AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG-PRIME-TUF_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x folder then follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step.

- Full without Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer (don't work for ROG Z490 & B460 motherboards) : Follow scrupulously this process.

- Full : Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step.

This is definitely the worst driver you have released so far, I did all the steps until I was able to install the drivers without the virtual mixer, but the realtek panel in the store doesn’t work with the equalizer, I did the installation clean and it still doesn’t work, you can post the link from the previous driver, I will continue using the old one until you repair the next drivers, I am on the Windows 1909 version, thanks.

It's working even in windows version 2004
So You may need to fully remove all drivers .
Thanks

[HLBROG]

I followed all the steps and it really works the way he specified, I apologize for my ignorance, now I will try a new step, however the SSVM Remover Patch link is no longer available.

[HLBROG]

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,

Correct, you have completely understood, I always indicate the motherboards which are concerned by the update.

[Sooshi]

What are these drivers for? Are they any different from the ones from the ASUS support/driver website? I have an ASUS ROG Maximus Hero XII Z490 and installed the realtek audio drivers from the website. Do I need to install these as well?

Hi,

This error occurs when you use a drivers package not intended for your motherboard.

You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 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.
