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,

Correct.

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.

I thought so based on the product page, but wanted to just make sure. Thank you!

Hello! It's been a while since my last update. Now I'm with your "AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3_MB_v6.0.9075.1.zip" package.
Can I update or need to do a clean install?
Thank you.

Hi,

You can directly follow your UPDATE process.

Note : CLEANUP process then INSTALL process should only be done during the first install of my drivers package, or if you have an issue (or when I ask you to).

Hi,

Please follow scrupulously the instruction :

Check the boxes of all versions of drivers which .inf starts with (if you find them)

DTS Sound Unbound is nice I don't really like sonic studio 3 anymore but you can just uninstall the apps if you don't want them. I'm sure Someone can tell you what dll's to del if you want to do that.

All they are for is sound positioning really, and DTS is only useful if you have hardware the can play DTS, like headphones, soundbar or a sound system.

For just equalization and effects you can just use the UAD Realtek app.
I really like the sound I get from SonicStudio, as I have a SHARP HT-SBW460 Dolby Atmos Soundbar and Dolby Atmos RIG 500 headset, and when listening to music or watching tech videos, SonicStudio upmix option gives more clarity. Plus you can set up four individual EQ effects settings depending on what you listen to.

To uninstall just right click the icon and select uninstall, so you have one less service running in the background.
