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 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.

Thanks

Hey Mokichu, I have the Z790-E Gaming Wi-Fi, So i installed the SS3 version following a clean-up and similar to what someone wrote previously, I couldn't get the Realtek audio control to install, I repeated the clean-up steps and tried again and encountered the same problem, I then did another clean-up and tried the SS version but am still not able to download or install the Realtek Audio Control, any suggestions?

I'm unable to even find Realtek Audio Control on the Microsoft Store unless I use the link provided in the download.

Hi everyone,

As reminder : 

@ ASUS ROG SS|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards (ASUS ROG Strix Z790-A/E/F Gaming WiFi II & ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero/Apex Encore/Formula or more recent) users :

You can't use/install Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread (SS3 being EoL, there is no more SS3 since the refreshed ASUS ROG motherboards with ALC40xx codec with Intel Z790 chipset for the Raptor Lake Refresh CPU launch, or newer motherboards). You can only use/install Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS) from the first post of this thread, know that you can only use the Realtek & DTS Sound Unbound features, if you want SS, you need to install Armoury Crate to install the SS drivers by Bongiovi and for SS user interface (which is in Armoury Crate).

@ ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards users :

You can't use/install Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS) from the first post of this thread. You can only use/install Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread.

Also, I remind you that I do not work for ASUS (everything I do for the ASUS ROG community is out of passion, on a voluntary basis) and I do not replace ASUS Support : 

- If you have any issue with the last audio drivers package from this thread : CLEANUP process then install/use the last audio drivers package from your motherboard support page.

- If you have any issue 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.

You do not need to install Armoury crate to get bongio drivers, simply adding the driver packages creates all the necessary folders under Program Files/BongioviMBApp to enable functionality for Amplify Level/Mic boost/ APO.

Simply add the driver packages ( BongioviAPO.inf and BongioviAPOMB DriverVer=01/12/2024,1.0.0.24 ) to the repository with Driverstore explorer.

[ksenchy]

Can you share links where to download these bongio drivers?

[Agent-A01]

Here you go. https://file.io/lsBgyC5MXRPQ

@MoKiChU, I don't think 99% of users care about Armoury Crate user interface's effects like underwater or anything else. The major concern is lack of the amplify level/mic boost which is still under use in the Realtek Audio Console App. It would be best to add these to the drivers in the main post and put a disclaimer that users that want the additional options must use Armoury crate.

Hi everyone,

@ ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards users : SS3 apps v3.16.23.0 (which is, to date, still not offered by the Microsoft Store which still offers the v3.16.21.0) links have been added to your INSTALL process (offered as offline installer packages).

[UnclWish]

Just checked my SS3 version. It's 3.16.23.0 already.
