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
Here is my spec:
OS: Windows 11 23H2 (Build 22631.4037)
Bios: 2503
Mainboard: ROG STRIX Z790-F GAMING WIFI
I already have USB Audio set to Enabled in Bios
However when I install UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS, the driver doesn't show up in Device Manager
When I open Realtek Audio Console, it says "Cannot connect to rpc service". And of course there's no audio coming from both back and front panel audio jacks. It feels like the PC doesn't recognize any audio ports (if that make sense).
----------------------
Also I want to express my gratitude and respect for all of your hard work @MoKiChU

Hello I'm looking to update my audio driver, but I'm having trouble figuring out which of the downloads pertains to my system. My PC is on the AM4 platform and MB is an ROG crosshair VIII Hero hope that helps.

Hi,
You are in the wrong thread for your motherboard.
You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard without ALC40xx codec, so :
You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/8xx & Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx).
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 sorry, but thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi,
I have a ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI (so with an ALC4080 codec). I use Sonic Studio 3 to enhance my sound. I changed my computer SSD so reinstalled Windows 11, Armoury Crate, etc, but SS3 doesn't want to start ("NOPKEY").
I read some threads and you said somewhere "If you want to use SS3 apps you have no choice but to install/use the Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS Legacy)".
Did not find it but "Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS)" so tried it.
Of course, done all the cleaning (uninstall apps, restart, Driver Store Explorer, SS3 Cleaner, hidden devices in Device Manager,...), installed with Install.cmd with admin rights, restarted, installed apps from the store, installed the update... but same problem.
Is there any solution to continue using SS3 or is this completely dead ?
Thanks in advance.

I think the legacy thing is no more and Mokichu is providing drivers for us who use SS3 but as you said a few months ago the situation was that SS3 was at end of life state. I was gone a month or two and came back to see that SS3 was being supported again. I'll let Mokichu explain that because I don't know what happened. However I'm on a Z790-A D4 and I used SS3 throughout since I bought the motherboard last December. The difference is that I installed ASUS OEM drivers for audio from the support page of the motherboard first and then used Mokichu's drivers to keep them updated. Recently a couple week's ago I used his SS3-DTS Unbound update package and it did a phenomal job updating.
My suggestion would that you start over, fresh win 11 install, win updates and insider updates if you are an insider and then install the oem package for your motherboard and test functionality first before everything else. If everything works then update that with drivers here.

I solved my problem! Tested on my Windows and then fresh install.
Here is what I have done:
Since, it works. No need to launch NahimicService.exe manually at restart.

No, instead I downloaded the penultimate one (6.3.9600.2342) which specifies “Support SS3CNTS+DTSS Models”
That is the one I used as well, but last I installed that was 9 months ago and installer worked fine but not completely, I remember installing every executable there, it was a pain, and then I had updated it with Mokichu drivers from here. And you should as well. Timeout does explain sometimes that service is not operating. Glad you figured it out. And crossing fingers I do not have to reinstall Windows anytime soon 😂
