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).

I noticed after performing a clean uninstall and install of these audio drivers packaged with DTSX Ultra/DTS SU Extension Driver - 1.1.69 that I no longer get the following two Software Components in Device Manager:
DTS APO4x Service Component
DTS Audio Effects Component
I notice that the ASUS1043ROG directory only has one file in the 1.1.69 version, whereas in previous version, the directory had multiple files.
Digging into the dtsapo4ultraAsusextensionpkg.inf file for comparison, I noticed the following entries in previous versions:
[ASUS1043ROG]
CopyFiles = ASUS1043ROG.CopyList
AddReg = PresetAddReg
[ASUS1043ROG.Components]
AddComponent = DTSAPO,,DTSAPO_Install
AddComponent = DTSService,,DTSService_Install
Whereas the latest version only had this:
[ASUS1043ROG]
CopyFiles = ASUS1043ROG.CopyList
Was this intentional?

I find this level of detail about how the drivers work fascinating. I don't have a DTS mb so it doesn't apply to me, but for those who do, does this change mean they should do a full clean driver uninstall prior to this update, or does the driver installation for new organization handle it? I presume you would see absent entries in Device Mgr if you turned on Show Hidden Entries, and could then delete them all?

Hi,
Thank you for raising this point.
Even if using the UPDATE process does not interfere with the operation of the drivers (if you are used to cleaning your old drivers via Driver Store Explorer, the APO and Service SWC device should be hidden in your Device Manager, if you are not used to cleaning your old drivers via Driver Store Explorer, APOs and Service SWC device should be visible but not used), I recommend doing a CLEANUP in order to reset on a healthy basis. So :
@ ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards users : Due to a major change in the operation of the DTS Sound Unbound Third Party Drivers, re-download your drivers package & 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.
