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  there I have this mobo MAXIMUS X FORMULA and I wanted to try Sonic Radar 3 app.

I'm not sure which driver package I should be downloading for my mobo. Would you be able to assist me please.

Hi,

You are in the wrong thread.

You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx & Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx).

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.

Hi MoKiChU, 

First off I want to say thank you very much for your hard work and due diligence in assisting those of us who are encountering these audio issues. I am writing to report that I am unfortunately one of those users being affected.

I have tried to use the methods that you had mentioned of uninstalling the drivers and software from my computer. However, I still seem to be running into issues. 

My motherboard is an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero. The headset that I'm using is a Sennheiser Game One headset with 3.5mm jacks.

I have updated to the most recent version of BIOS (version 1002) and have attempted to reinstall my audio drivers with the provided fix. I believe the driver that I should be using is the "Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS)" which is the first driver mentioned on the list. I am hoping that is the correct driver that I should be using, please correct me if I'm wrong.

One of the issues that I'm facing is when getting to the uninstallation part of the drivers. I feel that this might be what's interfering with me successfully installing these drivers. When uninstalling the drivers, the Realtek drivers seem to reinstall themselves without taking any actions. Windows must be scanning the hardware and somehow discovering the drivers. This is even after I remove the .inf files using the Driver Store Explorer application. 

I was hoping to see if anyone could provide any further information for this issue, as it's driving me crazy. The headset was working fine in the past, but due to my SSD going bad, I have since then had to reinstall Windows and am now facing this most frustrating microphone issue. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!

Does one need to do anything special in order to be offered 1.51 version of audio console in the MS store? I have 1.50 and no update is offered

Hi there,

I am wanting to install Realtek USB Audio Drivers for my ROG Z790-A WIFI II - but purely just the drivers. I do not want the DTS Sound Unbound or Realtek console Asus have bundled with this.

I was hoping you could advise if this is possible?

Thanks!

Hi,

If you don't want the apps, just don't install them.

Thank you for the reply.

Apologies - to clarify, when I have previously installed the drivers via the AsusSetup, there would be no options to select them - everything was installed. Is there such option with your drivers?

Thank you

[MoKiChU]

Hi,

Unlike the audio drivers packages from your motherboard support page, there is no offline installer for the apps in my audio drivers packages if that's the question (only an "Apps" folder with Microsoft Store shortcuts for the apps, to install apps manually, if you wish).

[amalk]

Thanks for this - is very helpful 🙂

[ksenchy]

For installing latest realtek audio control, you can use offline install zip from here:

For some reason, MS store is not updating mine to 1.51, but this worked
