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).

MoKiChU, thank you for your reply. I installed the driver you recommended following the installation instructions. When entering Sonic Studio3, the error is NOPKEY. When entering Realtek Audio Consol, the error is unable to connect to RPC services. Please tell me what the problem could be?

[MoKiChU]

I just explained to you that you have an ASUS ROG Realtek|Dolby Atmos motherboard with ALC40xx codec ...

Since your motherboard is not an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC40xx codec, you can't install/use Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS). 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 (whether AMD or Intel).

Again, 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 the CLEANUP process then the INSTALL process from your ASUS ROG Realtek|Dolby Atmos motherboards category (for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process from your ASUS ROG Realtek|Dolby Atmos motherboards category).

If you have any install issues, re-follow the INSTALL process but use Install_SAFE_MODE.cmd installation script (which use Microsoft PnPUtil drivers installer) instead of Install.cmd installation script (which use Realtek USB Audio GUI installer).

Благодарю вас.

Many thanks for your information, however I have a question, I put back "Realtek Audio Driver V6.3.9600.2333 For Windows 10/11 64-bit." to have my Sonic studio 3 software working and I'm happy because the new drivers from 2024/09/24 were bad... Asus re-released drivers on 2025/03/11 are those reliable or do you advise me to stay on my old version? 🙂
