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).

Thank you. STAY WELL!

Hi @mokichu,

First of all thanks for your time and effort in maintaining this (and even publishing it here again).
Without this the lack of adequate updates from Asus would have been a bigger issue.

What is the actual cause of the slow startup of applications like, for instance, Chrome?

[SteverinoLA]

Not sure if anyone else noticed this but I started getting a very faint click pop at the end of every sound that was driving me nuts. This started a few driver updates ago. It was driving me nuts but I just stumbled upon the solution -- turn on the Disable Front Panel Popup Dialog in the Realtek CP advanced settings. I never use my case's front panel inputs, so I disabled the inputs in Window's sound devices settings.

Hi,

In order to fix your slowness issue :

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process
- Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.

Thanks for your reply, but I was not looking for the solution.
I'm actually interested in the root cause of the issue. Do you know why it happens?

The answer to your question is quite broad and really the question does not belong here. I had the same problem and solved it by installing Windows 10 from scratch without an internet connection and using MokiChu's drivers.

Hi,
