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).

Hi everyone,

The Third Party Drivers have been updated for these drivers packages :






Thread, post & drivers packages updated.


Hi there!
How to understand which Gen package should I follow?
Until now I was using the Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) drivers.
My motherboard is the ASUS ROG z590-I WiFi.
Should I follow the Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB Gen2) as it has similar packages inside it as it had the old Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) drivers?

Thank you.

Thanks, I realized the mistake too, but it's not good, there is no equlizer, just that, how can I get the other settings without the sonic?

It's unbelievable and annoying to me that they can't leave it in the software by default (as before)
I've tried SS3 too, but my problem is that even though all effects are disabled, it's still like I'm in church, especially the games, it's really bad ...

You have to disable audio enhancements in sound properties. But you won't be able to use things such as EQ and other effects, it will ignore Realtek Audio Console audio tweaks, except sampling rate, volume and amplification level.
Microsoft F up again. In WIn11 loudness equalization is enabled if audio enhancements turned on. That's why you can hear this "church effect". A holy blessing from Microsoft's cheap indian outsource programmers and blue hair LGBT Twitter retards from California who whine all day long instead of doing their job.

Thank you so much for wanting to help, but I don't have that setting! Z690 Strix A mobo with ALC4080 audio codec ... I'm very angry because I'm just sucking on it, before that there was an MSI Z590 motherboard with ALC4080 codec and there was nothing wrong with setting it up from the realtek console, I don't know why asus disabled it!
I am very angry about this .... it would be nice if someone would help, thank you very much!

How about this one? If you have it, then enable it and disable again, even if it was disabled by default (because of Win11 bug).
If you don't have it then you can uninstall Realtek audio drivers and use default Microsoft driver, as temporary solution. It should remove "church effect". Almost all Realtek audio settings (like Sonic Studio 3) won't work without enhancements enabled anyway.

Thanks a lot .... a driver reinstall has been released, but now I'm a little confused what to disable and what to allow?
That's good? This church echo goes to my brain ... 🙂

Thank you very much...but it is not good, it is very bad if they are off...
I just need an old "loundness" and a "high" sound highlight, without church echo... 😮
I don't know if there is a "mode",because I've seen modified realtek drivers with the old/hidden functions restored....

Hi MoKiChU,

I'm planning to buy a ROG STRIX Z690-I GAMING WIFI. As I understand, I need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB Gen2) for this motherboard, right?
Also, if I delete ThirdParty folder and comment out lines from "Install.cmd" that are referring to this folder, I will get only basic Realtek audio driver? If so, does Windows will not to try automatically install Sonic Studio, Sonic Radar and DTS crap? I just don't need any of them and I don't care about EQ in Realtek Audio Console app, because I will use Dolby Atmos from Store.

Anyway, thank you for updating this thread frequently, you are real MVP.
