OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG motherboards with AMD 5xx/6xx/8xx series chipsets with ALC40xx codec.
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).

You are doing an absolutely tremendous job, and I am clueless as to why such a big organisation as asus is not able to deliver anywhere near the same support value, for millions of dollars. They should hire you on the spot in they have any sort of desire to deliver support for the customers. 

May I ask what is your source of all these drivers? I guess you must have some sort of contact in asus to funnel you all these drivers, at the same time I am absolutely clueless as to why, if they know they have newer drivers do they not upload them to the motherboard pages. It just makes zero sense.

Asus setup installs full DTS or Dolby or Sonic (idk tbh) apps that're TM trademarks, so what i understand is that it's a publicity to this techs involving Asus/TMs assosiation.

Im asking out of curiosity not suspicion.

Hello, I've got a strange issue that's driving me nuts. 
Whenever I restart my PC, as soon as it boots up, it shows a red x next to the audio icon and it goes back to normal after about 10 seconds. This problem however makes NVIDIA Shadowplay start before I have any audio devices initialized and so I don't have any audio in my clips. I've tried it with a new windows install too, just the audio driver. Tried these and the one from motherboard support page. 
Specs:
Strix X670E-E
7800X3D
4070 Super

[sjoerd1044]

Note: I did follow all the installation steps.

What set would i need for the z890 Hero mobo?

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC40xx 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.

Note : If your issue persist, since your issue also occurs 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.

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG Realtek|Dolby Atmos motherboard with ALC40xx codec and Intel SST, so :

1) You need Intel SST Audio Drivers from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Intel SST Audio (8xx).

2) You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG RTK-Dolby) 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.

[sjoerd1044]

Yes I did follow it very carefully and used that driver. I will contact Asus then. Thanks.

I followed all the way through, but had issues when I clicked through the links in the app folder - AUDIO_DTS_Sound_Unbound_UAD was not found in the store and there is a persistent error for AUDIO_Realtek_Audio_Control_UAD. I tried installing them directly from the package provided by ASUS without installing the drivers, but running "AsusSetup.exe" in the UWP folder returns without doing anything. 

Going directly into the individual app folders and running AsusSetup.exe does nothing. Running "install.bat" as an admin results in a error 1168 element not found.

Thanks for all of your effort here. As others have stated, Asus should be cutting you a check every month. 

[KenV99]

I finally got it working, Kind of. I first installed the drivers from @MoKiChU and then edited the "install.bat" in the folder downloaded from Asus for my mobo - I commented out the driver installation part and let it just install the apps. On initial reboot, the apps wound work for about 15 sec and then the app would crash, but after an additional reboot (and an overnight rest) it seems to be working without crashes. Just my 2 cents. I also have a Creative Soundblaster external device AND an SSL sound interface. IDK why I needed to persist in figuring this out.
