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).

Thanks Mokichu, so far so good on my rig

At the risk of betraying my lack of technical expertise, I 'd like to ask why these updates come so frequently. What's the best strategy on updates? Installl them all as they come out, or, once you've found a stable one, just stick with it?

Thanks.

As long as I can remember (since back in early pre-SP1 Vista days), I don't recall ever seeing an audio driver update actually do anything. Sound still came out the speakers the same way it did before; not worse nor better. Even on my current PRIME X470-PRO motherboard, I haven't seen any driver "update" do anything, regardless of where it came from (this post, MUC, ASUS). I don't use any software EQ though, so it's possible drivers really only affect that.

In my case, I keep updating just to know I have up-to-date drivers 😛

Hi everyone,

get BSOD if I enable "two different audio streams simultaneously" in audio console.

MoKiChU,

I think you underestimate how many people are much more than satisfied (and, unfortunately, silently appreciate) your efforts. I realize how much work it is and I hope you choose to continue this valuable effort.

Best regards

I will continue, if there are more satisfied people than unsatisfied people as I explained previously, hence the importance of showing yourself unlike whatever you buy and whose service you are owed, there is the difference.

Also, imagine the new people on the thread, they see BSOD ... BSOD ... BSOD, and no other message while it works perfectly for 90% of people, do you really think that gives the person confidence ? Hence the importance of coming forward to reassure the new ones that these problems concern only a tiny fraction of people which generates their own BSODs by enabling an advanced function (which is deprecated by Realtek and Microsoft).

[Shocker]

Trust me, there are way more happy people than unhappy, maybe 3% of them unhappy, but those unhappy will post regularly, while happy users will just enjoy with drivers and music experience. Hundreds of users are downloading drivers from here, and maybe couple of them are unhappy and complain, so when you look at those statistic it is clear, happy users are majority, about 98%. Like someone else said, happy users install drivers and enjoy, they don't bother posting here so this should be your motivation, You help a lot of people, and i recommended you and your drivers to many people. Sorry for bad english, i dind't have english in school unfortunately.

But that is always the case. Sure you are doing this on your own time, gratis, and I get that, they probably don't. You, as a provider, should ignore that. I think your subscribers should, as you point out, that they have no issue, but also an appreciation that this is a time consuming effort that you provide with no compensation except thanks.

Maybe you could put a note on the first page to this effect . I would certainly endorse that.

And again, thanks.

Hello,
all of your last drivers worked fine on my board (ASUS ROG-Strix B360-I Gaming and newest win10 version). I had no problems.
Thank you very much for your great support.

[jayjay171282]

Hi Mokichu,

I have an Asus ROG Maximus XI Apex and my question is which driver I have to choose to use SS3?
I`m on the latest Win10 Update, done a clean install and at the Moment the generic driver from Windows 10 is installed.

Could you please assist if you have a little bit of time?

Many thanks in advance.

Daniel
