OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC40xx).
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC40xx).

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).

Hello @mokichu,

could you tell me which drive I should use.
Before I used always the SS3 DTS Unbound driver for ROG, but it doesn´t install the REALTEK Console over the Windows Store anymore 😕

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) from the first post of this thread.

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 everyone,

- The Third Party SS3 Extension Driver have been updated & SS3 VAD Media Driver have been added.
- Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer is no longer optional.


Thread & Post updated.


/!\ : After installing SSVM (Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer) for the first time, it switches itself as Playback/Recording default devices (whether SSVM is enabled in SS3 or not). Remember to set your usual Playback/Recording devices by default (and, if you don't plan to use SSVM, disable the SSVM Playback/Recording devices). A new version of the SS3 app is under development which will automatically disable the SSVM Playback/Recording devices if SSVM is disabled in SS3 (SSVM is disabled by default), and automatically enable them if SSVM is enabled in SS3).

Hi everyone,

A new SS3/SR3 version has just been released (3.16.9.0), which brings the functionality I mentioned earlier (automatic activation/deactivation of SSVM Playback/Recording devices).

@ Forza Horizon 3/4 users : Please check if you still have a crash with this new version of SS3.
