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,
No, you can't use other drivers than those designed for your motherboard type.

No matter what mb model. (the sound chip has nothing to do with the board - it is standalone device with standard specification)
DTS+SS3 drivers work on same chip as mine (alc1220a)
But its not install, because my mb vendor not present in inf file (or else hardcoded check)
It's all marketing trick and software lock
The same situation with RAMCache 3. I cant install it (your hardware is not supported) (only RAMCache 2 for my mb)
Why i shold use depricated bugged version that not update two years? buggy so much that it cannot create its own settings file - wrong file permission.
I bypass vendor check via debugger now RAMCache 3 work perfect....
p/s This is not a very good asus policy towards users and customers.
Sorry my english
MoKiChU, add this to drivers
This missed component for all ss3 versions (it is virtual mixer)

I just updated my Z390-E to the ver. 6.0.9030.1 drivers, closely following the Cleanup/Install procedures. I ran the SS3 Cleaner tool in an attempt to fix the faulting NahimivSvc32.exe app. I also had to manually reinstall Realtek Audio Console. (I have not yet reinstalled either Sonic Studio app.)
Result:
Device Manager confirms that the driver is now ver. 6.0.9030.1. 🙂
The faulting application NahimicSvc32.exe has returned . 😞
The speaker icon in the lower right corner of the screen shows I have three playback devices, 1) Speakers (Realtek Audio), 2) Dell UP3017 (NVIDIA High Definition Audio), and 3) Realtek Digital Output (Realtek Audio)
I can only use device #1 (Speakers) in my web browsers (Firefox or Edge); if I select device #3 (Realtek Digital Output) there is no sound.
However, my music apps (Qobuz, iTunes) allow me to play on either device: #1 (Speakers) or #3 (Realtek Digital Output).
So for now I'm keeping audio on device #1(Speakers), and have disabled the Nahimic service.
Is this about as good as I can expect? Many thanks for advice.

Further Information: I discovered that a Nahimic service was taking up all my CPU processing (screenshot), so now I have disabled all Nahimic services from starting using Autoruns. Does anyone have any advice about what these Nahimic apps are doing or trying to do? Thanks.

Since I've had no responses, I will try once more with a simplified question: Given that I've disabled of all the Nahimic exes from loading (NahimicSvc32Run, NahimicSvc64Run, NahimicTask32, NahimicTask64, and NahimicService) since they either won't load or use up all the CPU time, can I just delete these exes from the folders "syswow64" and " system32"?
All advice greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Delete the ThirdParty folder from your drivers package (AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3_MB_v6.0.xxxx.1) then re-follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process (without installing SS3 & SR3), for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process (still by deleting the ThirdParty folder from your drivers package).

Hi,
The perception of optimal listening experience of sound is different according to tastes and people. So it's up to you to choose what suits you best :
- SS3 installed & SS3 effect enabled (EQ via SS3)
- SS3 installed but SS3 effect disabled (EQ via SS3)
- SS3 uninstalled (EQ via Realtek Audio Control/Console)
Hi,
This phenomenon occurs when :
- the .cmd is started from a location with limited rights. In this case, move the drivers package folder to another location (Desktop, Downloads folder, etc.) and relaunch the .cmd.
- the drivers package folder is named ending with " (1)" because a drivers package folder named with the same version was already present. In this case, delete the folder that was existing and rename the new one by removing "(1)" from the folder name and relaunch the .cmd.
