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).

Followed the ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound guide religiously for the B650-A Gaming WIFI, but it seems like when 2 channel speakers are connected to the motherboard and headphones are connected to the front panel jack, audio plays from both devices at once.
Anyone else had this issue? I would assume the headphone output should only look at the front headphone jack - and it doesn't look like the Realtek Audio Control is missing the split audio streams function.

Same problem witn B650E-E

Thanks MoKiChU for posting these drivers.
I recently built a new system around a ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI motherboard. The default Realtek drivers upon Windows 11 installation caused terrible distortion (over-amplification or clipping?) via the rear 3.5mm line out to a set of powered bookshelf speakers. I then followed the instructions as per the stickied post for ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound.
The driver setup now looks clean, but I am still getting some small audio distortion with Amplify Level set to Performance. I noticed that the distortion level increases if this setting is increased to Powerful or Extreme, and is minimised when set to Performance. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a lower amplification setting than that.
Apart from the driver, I have not installed any of the apps in the package, other than Realtek Audio Console (which I have screenshotted below). Is this necessary? I assume that they should not interfere with the basic sound levels from the machine.
I am now at a loss on how to resolve this audio distortion issue, so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Try lowering the volume in windows then turning the volume up on your speakers
