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,

The MSI Mode Utility I noticed has MsiX on some of my devices and I also found it in the motherboard BIOS settings that ASUS described as better. 

Another question is when I check devices that have MSI or MsiX do I also change the interrupt priority to High or leave it as undefined or just high on audio devices?

Thanks

Hello how are you @MoKiChU , I am new to the forum, I have a question regarding the audio driver that you are showing, to only update the driver is it necessary to uninstall everything, or can it be updated without having to do the whole procedure? Is there a problem if I just do the update? It's not that I have a problem with the controller, I just want to be up to date with the updates, greetings.

[MoKiChU]

Hi,

If I told to new people on my audio drivers threads to follow their CLEANUP process then their INSTALL process, it is in order to start from a clean base.

I only offer OEM original drivers, WHQL signed by Microsoft, so my audio drivers packages can update (or be updated by) the audio drivers packages from your motherboard support page or Armoury Crate by directly following your UPDATE process without following your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process.

[CasperSC16]

Excellent, thank you very much for answering my questions and for solving the doubts I had, since I just installed the drivers (The drivers that you provide in the forum) in a clean base of the operating system, and you clarified that doubt for me in case I update the drivers in the future, thanks regards

I switched from the default latest ASUS audio drivers to these drivers. The process was followed step by step.  The HyperX headphones now connect and disconnect. Sometimes they do not appear. Any tips or tricks to make this work on the ROG STRIX X670E-E?

[MoKiChU]

Hi,

I remind you that I do not work for ASUS and I do not replace ASUS Support :

- If your issue occurring with drivers from your motherboard support page (and therefore that it is not specific to the drivers that I offer) : Open a ticket with ASUS Support.
- If your issue didn't occurring with drivers from your motherboard support page : CLEANUP process then install/use the drivers package from your motherboard support page.

Hi, no offense but, if you don't work for ASUS, whats the purpose of this drivers? I thought that this drivers were official.

[ksenchy]

Do these drivers fix the very low mic volume I'm experiencing? It's very low at 100% volume
