Hardware requirements (AMD - sTRX4) : ASUS ROG/PRIME motherboards with AMD TRX40 chipset.
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG motherboards with Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx series chipsets with ALC40xx codec.

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 ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread.

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.

Also, updates your Realtek USB Audio Firmware to the last if it is not done yet.

Is this the correct driver for the x570 Crosshair VIII Hero (Wifi)? I noticed these drivers support ALC408x codec, and I don't believe this motherboard has it.

Thanks!

I'm new here---just curious, which driver would I use for ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming Wifi? My guess is: Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) : Drivers : 6.3.9600.2311 WHQL [03/01/2022]

I currently have Version 6.3.9600.2307 installed---is there any indication what the latest one (.2311) improves upon?

thanks!
