Sonic Studio III Current default recording device is not supported

Hi,

For those who have this problem and play RIOT Games, their anti-cheat software “Vanguard” neutralizes something in /System/Device Manager.

Solution :

Disable Vanguard at startup and reinstall realtek drivers.

Since you can't play riot games without vanguard, the problem will return.

Hi,

Ok, I had updated the driver thanks to one of your post with version 9749 some time ago, I'll test 9768.


Hi,

What is important is not to update the drivers (because in this case SSVM device/driver remains in place and so it will still disturbing/triggering Vanguard anti-cheat from Riot), but to follow your CLEANUP process as previously indicated in my previous post in order to uninstall SSVM device and delete its driver which will no longer be used. So as reminder :

1) Download/Extract Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/8xx & Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx).

2) Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process (from your ASUS ROG SS3 & SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards category) : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/8xx & Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx).

In addition, check that SSVM device is actually uninstalled (even in your hidden devices) : Press Windows key + X > "Device Manager" > "View" > Check "Show hidden devices" > "Sound, video and game controllers" category > Uninstall the "Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer" if you find it in your hidden devices by right-click "Uninstall device" then restart your PC.

3) Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process (from your ASUS ROG SS3 & SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards category) : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/8xx & Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx).

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process (from your ASUS ROG SS3 & SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards category) : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/8xx & Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx).

And do you have a solution for GPU Tweak, which suffers the same fate with the OSD?

Thanks a lot.


If an ASUS tool (GPUTweak in your case) is disturbing/triggering Vanguard anti-cheat from Riot, only ASUS staff can answer about this.

Hi,

It's is only the SSVM (Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer) device that is disturbing/triggering Vanguard anti-cheat from Riot, and therefore it is no longer installed since the latest update of the SS3 Extension Driver (for information : https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/downloads-for-motherboards/drivers-realtek-audio-amd-3xx-4xx-5xx-6xx-8...) :

Hi everyone,

ASUS ROG SS3 & SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards users : SSVM is avoided and is no longer installed since this latest update of the SS3 Extension Driver (this was done because SSVM generated too many stability issues according to ASUS and it triggered Vanguard anti-cheat from Riot).

Here is the process to follow with your ASUS ROG ROG Crosshair VIII Impact motherboard to fix your issue :

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound 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/8xx & Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx).

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.
