OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).

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,

Absolutely. You can directly follow your UPDATE process.

One more thing, Apps & Features shows I also have "Realtek Card Reader" Installed. I assume that'd OK to leave alone--no need to uninstall?

No, they should not be uninstalled, they have nothing to do with the audio drivers, they are the drivers for your card reader.

Thread updated.

Hi MoKiChU, if I got the previous 9013 UAD driver installed, do I need to do a cleanup and install or straight go for update the newest 9018 driver?

Thread updated.

Whenever I try to install any driver after version 9003.1 I have a blue screen ''SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION ( RTKVHD64.sys )'' when restarting the computer. And sometimes windows corrupt in an irrecoverable way , tried all after 9003, clean and update !

You can recover windows by using the recovery console under advance options. It's like using the old DOS console. Use the console to navigate to the windows/system32/drivers folder on whatever drive letter you have windows installed on. Once there use the "dir" command to list the files in the folder, you should see RTKVHD64.sys in the list. If its not then you are not using the right drive letter. Once you find it use the "delete" command on the RTKVHD64.sys file. Then the "dir" command after to verify it was deleted. It should no longer be in the list. Use the "exit" command to leave the recovery console and then reboot. Windows should boot-up fine but you will need to uninstall the realtek/avolute drivers with driver store explorer.

For more information on using the recovery console just search "recovery console commands" on google.

[MrAgapiGC]

on my way to test. so far was being perfect.

[MrAgapiGC]

just a advance.
After 2 solid drivers, the SS3 hahimic start to crash again. going back to 6.0.9013.1 since was the best so far
