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).

Hi,

Information :

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.

Cleanup :

- 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

Install :

The UAD/DCH drivers being modular, you can install your drivers by these different types of install from the most complete to the lightest :

MoKiChU wrote:
Intended to work like this by ASUS :

- Full : Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process (with or without installing SS3 apps).

Not intended to work like this by ASUS (at your own risk) :

- Realtek Only : Delete the ThirdParty folder from AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x folder then follow scrupulously your INSTALL process (without installing SS3 apps).

- Realtek Minimal (such as Microsoft built-in drivers, without Realtek app) : Right click on HDXASUS.inf (in AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x\Realtek\Codec_xxxx.x folder) > Install > Wait for the message "The operation completed successfully" or for restart request.

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process (with same install type).


Note if you choose the Full install type : If you want to uninstall Sonic Suite Companion once your drivers are installed, launch Sonic Suite Companion via tray icon then click Uninstall Companion.

Note if you choose the Realtek Only install type : Equalizer in Realtek Audio Control/Console will not work (present and visible but not functional) since it is based on SS3 APO (hardware) and that SS3 APO SWC Driver is not installed.

Just installed 6.0.9338.1 and I noticed something strange, not really a big deal but just wanted to report anyway. When I do a speaker check with built-in Microsoft Sound app or Realtek Audio Console, When I click on a given speaker, the sound comes in after 3 seconds. Everything else works fine. I use external 5.1 speakers.

Hi. I was hoping someone could help.

I have downloaded the drivers from the first link under, "Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB)"
I have uninstalled ALL applications related to realtek/SS3.
Rebooted, Used the driver tool to uninstall any realtek, Avolute, hdx, etc drivers (checked force deletion).
Rebooted, Installed the drivers. PC restarts. No Realtek audio control so I install it along with SS3.

I did these steps a week ago but no audio. decided to try again today and still no audio but now Realtek audio control shows "can not connect to rpc service".

If I am missing something please let me know. Thanks

- Avoid ZoneID blocking trouble :

- For each downloaded .zip : ZoneID unblock the .zip (Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK).

or

- Disable the ZoneID blocking completely (you will no longer have to unblock each downloaded .zip) :

- Right-click Windows Start button then click Launch then type gpedit.msc > OK
- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
- Do not preserve zone information in file attachment : Enabled > OK

- Redownload needed drivers package from the first post of this thread.
- ZoneID unblock the .zip (Only if you have not disabled the ZoneID blocking) : Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK.
- 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).


If you still have RPC service issue :

- Press Windows key + X > Task Manager :

- Startup tab : Check that Realtek HD Audio Universal Service is Enabled.
- Services tab : Check that DcomLaunch, RpcEptMapper & RtkAudioUniversalService services running.

- Right click on your Realtek Audio Control/Console app icon > App settings > Reset
- Restart your PC.

Regarding your no sound issue after install, check that Virtual Mixer is disabled via SS3 app : Sonic Studio III > Record Studio > Virtual Mixer > Virtual Mixer : Off.

Hi, MoKiChU. Just to be safe, I have a ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi),
I know that I could get the SS3+DTS driver package. But, what if I just don't want the extra crap?
Can I just download the quoted driver package and safely install it?
Will there be any problem with this? I would really only use the MoBo audio for my Edifier R1000T4.
My Moondrop Aria and Philips SHP9500 are plugged in an external USB-C DAC.
