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).

Thread updated.

I have a ROG B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi), which one is the best for me, and when I run the Driver Store Explorer, it doesn't find any of those drivers that should be forced to uninstall, do I need to restart yet?
Also, I'm here because my driver (from my MoBo support webpage) is making my headphones (Philips SHP9500) crackling AF on the right side, but it doesn't seems to occur with my speakers (Edifier R1000T4), do you think that drivers could be the culprit? It was just fine before the drivers suddenly colapse, yesterday. I use voicemeeter to manage everything (separate R1000T4 from SHP9500.

Hi,

You have an ASUS PRIME DTS:X Ultra motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTSX Ultra 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.

Also, in order to try to fix your DPC latency issue, follow this process (also visible in TIPS at the bottom of all my audio drivers threads) :

1) Disable hibernation :

- Right-click Windows Start button then click Search.
- Search for cmd. In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt and then click Run as administrator.
- If/When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
- At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off and then press Enter then close the Command Prompt

2) 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_util_v3.exe" > Run as administrator), then Apply, then close MSI Mode Utility & restart your PC

MoKiChU,

I need to try your latency sugestions

The DTS Sound unbound app in your first post - is that free or do you have to pay after a certain amount of time? (i.e. free because you own an Asus Mobo)

Kind regards

[rubenalamina]

Thanks Mokichu. I upgraded my cpu, mobo and ram and used your drivers after clean installing windows. I have an issue though, the Asus Sonic Studio app worked a few times but then started to close automatically after a few seconds of being open. Sometimes, it shows a timeout error in the driver before closing. I have restarted the PC a few times and the Sonic Virtual Mixed audio device disappeared.

Since I have never tried the official Asus drivers on this motherboard/build I will give them a try and see if everything works well. How should I clean up your drivers properly? The ones I used for my motherboard, Asus B550-F Wi-Fi were the ASUS ROG SS3-DTS which is what matches the features.

Hi,

Just follows your CLEANUP process.

What is "Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer" in device manager? Mic effects?
