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,
You have an ASUS TUF DTS Custom motherboard, so:

Thanks!

Does this mean we will have to refer to this thread for all future driver updates? ASUS won't post any newer working ones on their motherboard driver download page?

Hi,

I don't work for ASUS, you should ask them instead of asking me.

Hey MoKiChU, for the Maximus XIII Hero, is it the same Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB) driver for the other Maximus line, or does this one have DTS? The product page doesn't mention DTS but I wanted to make sure with you.

Thanks for all that you do! I see your post on MyDigitalLife and TenForums and I don't know how you keep up with all of this lol.

Hi,

ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero is an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound Intel Z590 motherboard, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS Intel MB) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel Z590 & AMD TRX40)

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.

Oh, excuse me. I thought you were a forum Rep since you have access to the drivers.
Where do you get the drivers from then? From Realtek? And then you repackage them for ASUS boards?

Edit: And thank you for your efforts !

hello guys i need some help, i thought i fixed it but i am back to zero again.

I have x570 gaming-e. installed latest audio drivers from asus site.
my biggest problem i have is that 5.1 audio does NOT work properly. I mean, come on do i ask that much from a $300 dollar motherboard?

the center channel and subwoofer sound comes from the front left and front right also. Is this 5.1 audio? jesus..
When i disable the sound effects from reltek console I (THINK) i get correct audio, but i can barely hear a thing! The sound is so low is almost non existent
..
in summary, when i test the 5.1 audio from windows, or from realtek console , specifically when i test the center speaker i can hear the sound playing from all 3 front speakers. When i test the subwoofer its the same.
the wires are connected correctly. ..

any ideas how to proceed, this is very annoying..

Hi,

- 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 (without installing Sonic Radar 3 & DTS Sound Unbound).

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

Note : The issue you are describing isn't really one, it's just the upmix/spatialization of sound (for example, upmixed 2.0 sound on 5.1 or 5.1 spatialized sound on 2.0) that you do not want and that you just have to disable in SS3 : Sonic Studio 3 > SONIC STUDIO > BASIC MODE > SONIC STUDIO EFFECTS > Uncheck the Upmix / Surround box in the profile you use.

[royzzzz]

Thank you for the reply.
As you can see in the above pic the upmix is disabled.
I have my windows sound settings set to 5.1 surround, which is the same as in realtek console.

When i test the sound from either windows control panel or realtek console and WHEN SS3 is enabled i get the problem. If i disable the SS3 sound is fine, but VERY low.

thanks again.
