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 😊

What are the best drivers for an Asus X870F Gaming?

Before this board I had an Asus B650E E Gaming and I was using this version of drivers:

DRV_Audio_RTK_USB_SZ_W11_64_V6396002333_20220815R

And it had a lot of output power in the headphones, but with the drivers on the Asus page for the X870F it sounds much lower. 😞

HI All,   I am currently moving platform and going to get a B650E-F Gaming board hopefully by next week.    Pevios board was the B550-A Gaming.   If i check it owuld be this driver?

Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS) 

Also i see on the support site it has a firmware update for the Audio.  Why does some of the Asus boards have different revision firmware updates for the ALC4080.  Do i update to the one on the B650E-F page or hunt for the latest one?

Hello, I have installed it according to the process and confirmed the cleanup, but the Can not connect to RPC service&NOPKEY error still appears. Is there any solution?

If your "Can not connect to RPC service" issue persists :

- Press Windows key + X > Task Manager :

- Startup tab : Check that Realtek HD Audio Universal Service is Enabled.
- Services tab : Check that DcomLaunch, RpcEptMapper & RtkAudioUniversalService services running.​

- Right click on your Realtek Audio Control/Console app icon > App settings > Reset
- Restart your PC.​

If your other install issue persist, please refer to these 2 posts (the first then the second if necessary) to troubleshoot :

Hi, MoKiChU!

I'm unable to download the Realtek application by using your "AUDIO_Realtek_Audio_Control_UAD" link - pressing the Install button does nothing for some reason.
x870e Hero, clean Windows 11 24h2 install here, followed your Install guide.
Could you please share if you know what might be wrong?
The 3 services required are up and running.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

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

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.

Just use the last firmware from your motherboard support page, you can check by yourself which firmware version you currently use by looking at the 4 last characters of your Realtek USB Audio device hardware id : Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers > Right click on your Realtek USB Audio device > Properties > Details tab > Hardware Ids : ...&REV_xxxx).

Thanks @MoKiChU 

Been great dealing with you on the other channel.  Always a legend.   Good to know about the firmware being updated by the drivers...  Looking forward to moving to the AM5 platform now.

Hello,  I am assuming the x870e-e strix uses the RTK-Dolby drivers? Is this correct? 

[radosuaf]

Where can I find firmware updates for ALC4080? ASUS tends not to publish them on all motherboards support pages although firmware seems to be motherboard agnostic...

Hi 

I just bought Asus ROG X870E Hero motherboard, and install from the Asus Hub. But the Realtek Audio Console can not start, always throwing error can not connect to RPC service. Through search in the web i found this thread and try installing the driver in here by following the guide, but the Realtek Audio Console still can not start. Anyone can help? Thanks

[radosuaf]

Just to make sure - ROG STRIX B560-E is SS3|DTS Sound Unbound, right?
