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).

ther is absolutely nothing Wrong with MoKiChu's driver packages.  Did you open the folder marked "apps" in the driver package and click on the "Audio:Realtek_Audio_control_UAD" and install it from the windows Store?  That works for me every time.  Make sure you follow the cleanup method to the letter. no shortcuts.  and you will be successful in you installation.

Not always it work I do like step by step clean up process nothing changed but mobo drivers are perfectly installed everything well I use this new drivers thinks it's well balanced but it's all crap now lol roll back to original even I had to tell you this I was lost 3 strix mobos died use these drivers ones I try to rma asus refused cuz use non official drivers cause that I don't blame anyone here but who knows what happened so all I said anyone had problem with drives install windows freshly that's fix all with mobo actual drivers

I am using Asus ROG B650E-E Motherboard. Actually, I was using the X570 Crosshair before.
Frankly, I'm fed up with the driver issue. I install the audio drivers from here or from ASUS ArmourCrate. But whenever there is a windows update (major update), Sonic Studio, one of the audio drivers, does not work and I have to reinstall the driver each time.

I read the SS driver and SS3 driver descriptions above. I guess the new SS3 Driver is not coming out anymore. Isn't there a solution to this? Should we install drivers every time?

I love and use Sonic Studio for its audio features. I have my profile record there. I log in and upload the profile I set for myself. But frankly, I'm fed up with the Sonic Studio not opening error that occurs after every update.

Try these drivers with ss3 no problem it work for me

[Orodruin]

Thank you very much, I will try these..

As far as I know, ASUS does not update SS3 drivers anymore. It publishes SS Driver instead.

But interestingly, there is an SS3 driver on my motherboard's website. It was published in 2022. They did not add a new driver afterwards.

After installing the SS Driver, normally the sound settings need to be opened under Armory Crate. Sonic Studio moved there. But @Kani_malli I've never had anything like that happen to me. I uninstalled the audio drivers and installed the new SS driver. Then I installed Armory Crate. I didn't get any results.

So I went back to SS3 Driver. I will try what you sent today. Thank you very much.

[Kani_malli]

I never experienced to open sonic studio In Armory crate hehe I had z590f I use that driver mentioned to you it sounds not bad balanced ss3 app can use separately without armory crate hopefully it's work for you too that driver released In 2023 that's last ss3 separate app driver they release 

[Orodruin]

I will try this driver you sent me the link to. Does Sonic Studio open separately when I install the driver?
Or is it opened from the Armory Crate menu?
I will definitely try it when I get home.

[Kani_malli]

yeah it has realtek app and ss3 app inside  drivers UWP folder

Hi everyone,

I remind you that I do not work for ASUS (everything I do for the ASUS ROG community is out of passion, on a voluntary basis) and I do not replace ASUS Support : 

- If you have any issue with the last audio drivers package from this thread : CLEANUP process then install/use the last audio drivers package from your motherboard support page.

- If you have any issue with the last audio drivers package from your motherboard support page : Contact ASUS Support and/or open a new thread in this ROG Care category : ROG Care - Hardware & Software Support - Gaming Motherboards.

[Orodruin]

@MoKiChU Thank you very much for your answer. I know you do this job voluntarily. I wanted to write here in case there are other people experiencing the same problem.
I opened a different title in the section you mentioned (ROG Care).
