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).

Hello,
Since two days the effects of Sonic studio aren't working anymore. Until now I couldn't get them back. I already deinstalled and reinstalled the drivers and Sonic studio 3 - no success. Hope someone can help me with this. I am using Windows 11 - my Mainboard is X470-F Gaming.
My last choice wood be a new installation of Windows. But without knowing how to solve that problem it seem to be likely to run into this issue again.

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.

- 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.

Also, check that the Enhance audio/Signal Enhancements setting is enabled (otherwise your audio effects will not work) :

Windows 11

Right click on sound icon tray > Audio settings > Click on your audio output/input devices to enter in their Properties :



Windows 10

Right click on sound icon tray > Sound > Playback/Recording tab > Click on your audio playback/recording devices > Properties > Advanced tab :

Thanks Jimbo93, and thanks MoKiChU. Must have missed seeing that. I'll give it a whirl.

I have a Asus Prime Z690-P WIFI D4 motherboard. The system uses the optical output for audio, which is connected to a Sonos Beam Gen.2. The Beam is paired via WiFi with two surround speakers (Sonos One). Sound output from the motherboard works fine, except for the fact the the signal is stereo and cannot be pursuaded to output surround sound.

The Sonos setup by itself works fine and plays surround sound like a charm, except when my computer is the audio source. I am running the standard Realtek 6.0.9282.1 driver (no custom driver package from this thread). The Realtek Audio Control app is up to date. This is what I see when I try to select a multichannel audio output format:

Evidently, there are only stereo output formats, nothing like 5.1 in any flavor. These are some other screenshots which might be relevant:

Any idea how I can resolve this issue?

Hi,

First of all I want to clarify to everyone that this thread is not a catch-all thread for all the issues you encounter, it only concerns the drivers found in this thread (which are not "custom" or "modded" drivers as you claim, they are OEM original drivers, WHQL signed by Microsoft) and nothing else, if you have an issue with what comes from your motherboard's support page, contact ASUS Support and/or open a thread here : Hardware & Software Support.

To come back to your issue, be aware that you will not be able to output 5.1 PCM via SPDIF port, only Stereo PCM.

You can only use 5.1 PCM via 3.5mm jack (https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1045991) or HDMI.

For reference :

You have an ASUS PRIME Realtek motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK MB) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx).

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.

So, your motherboard does not have any DTS or Dolby built-in.

However, your Sonos Beam Gen.2 audio equipment that you have is Dolby Atmos compatible, so plug your Sonos Beam Gen.2 audio equipment via HDMI and use Dolby Atmos from Dolby Access app (free for Dolby Atmos only) : Dolby Access : Link
