Note : In order to know which Install/Update process 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).

As you can see in the pic , it does say "Realtek(R) Audio" after I ran the .cmd and reboot. And it is the correct driver number (6.0.8959.1)

Yes, I saw that on your previous post.

I just went back to my clean and working state again.

So if I understand what you are telling me, everything will work until the next reboot. It's weird.

We will stop the off-topic here (it is an HDA thread and not UAD thread), we will continue on the right UAD thread or as well as by PM.

I sent you the previous version (6.0.8945.1 WHQL for ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards) by PM to try (CLEANUP process then INSTALL process).

Thanks. If I don't have sonic studio and sonic radar installed, I can just do the update, correct?
I don't need to do the cleanup part, do I ?

Whatever you have installed previously, in order to start on a clean basis, you need to follow scrupulously the INSTALL process (with cleanup step).

Hello MoKiChu,

Thanks for posting and helping out the community, it is appreciated!

I have a couple of questions, that I hope you can answer before I proceed with an attempt at installing this.

1. I have a Rampage V Extreme v1 which driver do I require? I'm guessing the SSx driver based on the fact my mobo had Sonic Studio 2.
2. Does this updated driver support SupremeFX on the ALC1150 codec from Realtek?
3. Can Sonic Radar be installed without Sonic Studio or is one a pre-requisite for the other?
4. I currently have the Microsoft installed HDAudio device with no Realtek drivers on the system. That should clear me on the normal setup step correct? I'm running Windows 10 Pro v2004 build 19041.264.

Thanks for the advice!!

Hello MoKiChU,
I have a Asus Maximus VIII Extreme motherboard. I want to update the Realtek audio driver. I followed your clean up instructions successfully.
But on the install part of your instructions is where I am confused. First, I downloaded the Realtek HD Audio Drivers (HDA - ASUS ROG SSx) -driver and tried to extract it using 7-zip. But nothing is happening when I try to extract it. On the Install part of instructions, I do not understand where you say to launch "Setup.exe". I do not see this part yet. How do I get the driver to open after I download it?

Update; I figured out how to extract and install the drivers from 7zip. The only thing that is missing is the HD Realtek interface (SupremeFX) where I was able to open and make changes to the equalizer, sound effects, speaker configuration, etc. How do I get this back?

Hi,

After downloading it :

- Right click on AUDIO_Realtek_HDA_ASUS_ROG-PRIME-TUF_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x.7z > Extract to AUDIO_Realtek_HDA_ASUS_ROG-PRIME-TUF_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x
- Go in the folder extracted (AUDIO_Realtek_HDA_ASUS_ROG-PRIME-TUF_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x), scroll down to find Setup.exe then continue to follow your INSTALL process

HI.
This drivers are good for Rampage 6 Extreme Omega? I`m a bit confusing if I need HDA or UAD drivers?

Hi,

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 : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx).

Thanks, I was able to install the drivers, but I posted an update to my original post above about the HD Audio Manager interface (SupremeFX), Could you help me with that?
