Hello, and thank you for a very useful thread! I own the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F WiFi so I downloaded the Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) drivers and followed the instructions correctly. My Realtek audio console shows only Sonic Studio III under Sound Effects and no DTS. Is it possible to use the newest drivers aswell as utilise a DTS Interactive or DD Live support? I don't know what else are the 3rd party DTS services for, then.

Hi,
You will not see DTS Sound Unbound in Realtek Audio Control/Console, you have to launch it individually.
- If you have it installed, you will find it in your Windows applications.
- If you did not install it, it means that you did not go to the end of your INSTALL process.
Note : If you specifically talk about DTS Connect (DTS Interactive + DTS Neo:PC), it is not included in the features of your motherboard, and is no longer included in the features of recent ASUS motherboards at all.

I am looking for specifically DTS Connect, not Unbound. I tried older Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers which expose the DD Live/DTS Interactive functions and it worked, but I wasn't fully satisfied with it, as when switching back to 5.1 direct mode, my rear surround pair wouldn't work, and I prefer the new ROG-themed audio console over the vintage Realtek control panel. But using the older control panels would be the least of my issues, at least I could have access to EQ for the direct Speakers output without needing a 3rd party app (Sonic Studio III) that frequently breaks down, forcing me to reinstall it every couple weeks.
If my mobo doesn't support it, why the unlocked driver worked? Besides, the new Realtek Audio Control console said something like "DTS audio effects" instead of the "Sound Effects" title above the "Disable All Sound Effects" checker under the Speakers category, if neither Sonic Studio nor Sonic Radar is installed. Is that just a bug?
