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).

I found the exe files in the volute app driver folder and ran them but I installed everything in order but dta is not installing due to
2 weeks ago
I meant dts in the last post but it appears the dts driver is bad as it also errors in the setup, If there is a slightly older version that works or if the download link can be reshaed that would probably be the best since I am the only one who posted this specific issue.

the file its crashing on is in the correct folder??? so I do not know why it is not able to find it????

So I decided by chance to not unpack the zip files using winrar and use windows and now I got this interesting error, Interesting is all I must say , I am going to extract it to the root folder and see if this fixes my issue
WOW HOLY IUAGD FKU DAWFGU ADWKU THE ISSUE WAS THAT THE FILE PATH WAS TOO LONG???? NOW IT WORKLS??!Q>?:
Pardon me for having a stroke but do not extract to your documents or etc because the extract location of the file will be well over th 260 character limit in windows, you can reg edit your operating system to increase the max length of a path but that is up to you.
Why winrar worked and windows did not I have no idea and I am tired

Everything works on my end and the installation was a success. If only I thought of the path being so absurdly long earlier.

Hi,
Refollow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process, but :
- Make sure you avoid ZoneID blocking trouble :
- For each downloaded .zip : ZoneID unblock the .zip (Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK).
or
- Disable the ZoneID blocking completely (you will no longer have to unblock each downloaded .zip) :
- Right-click Windows Start button then click Launch then type gpedit.msc > OK
- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
- Do not preserve zone information in file attachment : Enabled > OK then restart your PC- Redownload your audio drivers package and ZoneID unblock the .zip (unless you already have disabled the ZoneID blocking completely then restarted your PC before redownloading your audio drivers package)
- Make sure you have extracted the zip before running Install.cmd
- Make sure you do not run the installer from a network drive or shared folder on another PC on your network
- Make sure you do not extend the tree of where the installer is launched (with multiple/identical subfolders). You can store the drivers packages wherever you want, but I recommend moving them to your Downloads folder when you want to install them. Example :Bad : ...\xxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\AUDIO_Realtek_USB_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_v6.4.0.xxxx\Install.cmd
Bad : ...\AUDIO_Realtek_USB_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_v6.4.0.xxxx\AUDIO_Realtek_USB_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_v6.4.0.xxxx\Install.cmd
Good : C:\Users\x\Downloads\AUDIO_Realtek_USB_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_v6.4.0.xxxx\Install.cmd

Which drivers should I use for ASUS Strix X670E-A? Thanks

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.

Hey folks! A long going thread I see and Kudos to MoKiChU for maintaining drivers.
So I'm struggling with a ROG Strix B650E-I motherboard that works fine apart from mic input that is barely audible from either 3,5 mm jack on the front or rear panel. All corresponding sliders for volume are maxed and mic boost gain (0 to +30 db) in Realtek Audio Console does nothing. However I tried plugging in a USB Streamplify camera with mic and that audio input works as expected - but I DO want to use my EPOS Sennheiser 3,5 mm headset.
Realtek USB Audio is enabled in BIOS version 3201. Realtek driver 6.3.9600.2389 is installed along with Sonic Studio 3.16.23 and DTS Sound Unbound. Will uninstalling and replacing with package Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) resolve my issue? ... or should I get a USB connected headset as a workaround?!

I went ahead with said package including Realtek 6.4.0.2404 and that sort of worked with some caveats: now my headset is recognized as having above 1000 Ω impedance where as it should be 19 Ω resulting in quite low sound pressure, but the headset mic is working if I set boost to +30 dB. Furthermore the DTS Sound Unbound app is unregistred which wasn't the case with Realtek driver bundle 6.3.9600.2389. Go figure with the slight mess of all Armoury Crate apps. 🙄
Is there an older driver for rollback with decent performance?
