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).

Hi,

This has nothing to do with the drivers but with your Windows install/rights (if it was a problem with the drivers, everyone would be affected or at least a large part). Try by switching your account type from User to Administrator (if not already).

I wouldn't have a problem going along with that if the previous direct from Asus Realtek drives caused the same message on every boot. My account is already set as admin and account control settings is switched to never notify so I shouldn't be seeing a message like this anyway asking about trusting the software.

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to reset the application manager list in SS3. I have tried resetting the app and reinstalling it but that still does not reset the list. Whay i would like to reset the list is because some apps don't appear on the list (new ones not showing up, while some existing ones are hidden yet profiles are being applied which i obviously can't change). Doe s any one here has a solution for this, i don't believe it is linked to the driver as i have used multiple drivers and nothing has resolved the issue.

Hi,

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process
- Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process

Note : If some apps (like Google Chrome for example) are not visible in the advanced mode, it is because they have been blacklisted by A-Volute because they are not supported by the advanced mode.

You are a gem @MoKiChU:)

You are Technical Boy(the tech god from the show American Gods):cool:

This is something I was wondering about and tried manually in SS3's files, but failed.

A note for others using it, if you just run it strait, it nukes your current in use Realtek install too, best is the following, in this order:

• Go to Device Manager, and uninstall the older drivers, or use DriverStoreExplorer.
  
• Then while in Device Manager, disable active Realtek, and Nahimic.(Reboot required)
  
• In DriverStoreExplorer uninstall the remaining Realtek and Nahimic drivers, reboot.
  
• In Ccleaner run the Registry cleaner(can use the portable version)
  
• Reboot.
  
• Reinstall the latest Realtek drivers.
  
• In Store app go to "All Owned" and find the Realtek app and Sonic Studio and reinstall them, and set up to your liking.
  
• Now Sonic Studio is totally reset and advanced mode will start fresh.
  

I tried to rep you MoKiChU, but it seems I need to spread the love a bit more, but thanks for posting the ss3 cleanup tool, and I've added it to my Excel downloads sheet, I just need to update my Sway with the above instruction and linking to the cleanup tool.

Hi,

You're welcome 😉

This is not the way the tool should be used, as I said previously, the use of the tool must be preceded by a CLEANUP process (which anyway will cleanup all your Realtek Audio & Third Party Drivers).

[itzjonjon69]

Which one's do I download if I have a Maximus XII Extreme?

[Cliff_S]

Ok @MoKiChU I updated my SWAY with the download and instructions at the bottom.

@MoKiChU

I setup this forum account just to post this thank you message. So again, THANK YOU!

Hi,

As monteverdi indicates to you, you try to use a drivers package unsuitable for your motherboard.

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS 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.

You Champion, it worked perfectly, I shall hang on to this cleaner forever. Thanks so much you legend, @Asus should give him a medal

So I wanted to follow up after my failed attempt at upgrading the drivers on my Crosshair Hero VIII Hero Wi-Fi (AMD x570) utilizing the [incorrect] ASUS ROG SS3 driver package. As was pointed out to me by monteverdi and confirmed by MoKiChU, I should have used the ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound package instead.

As such, I downloaded the correct file and attempted to proceed with the "Cleanup" process outlined for ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards. Unfortunately, it seems that my previous attempt has resulted in corruption to the "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" reference in the Control Panel/Registry. Upon attempting to uninstall the drivers, I receive an error that does not allow the process to proceed.

I've included a screenshot of the relevant registry entry below:

Any suggestions as to how to go about removing this gracefully? I want to say that downloading a new driver package from Realtek and attempting to install that will prompt me to uninstall the current version first, though I'm not particularly confident that will affect the desired outcome.

Thanks much!

Can you confirm, for the ROG Maximus XI Apex, would it be the ASUS ROG/TUF?PRIME RTK Motherboard?

Thank you for your help!

Thank you very much for the information. The settings have indeed helped, and tis' always nice to learn more about the deeper workings of this technology.. Turning on MSI mode gave more hours before it started falling out of sync again.. several additional hours. My video has yet to start hiccuping and crashing again, but the gap is again more noticable, so I am giving it more time. I also meant to mention The video driver version is GeForce v465.89 WHQL drivers.. and the Crosshair Hero VIII Non-WiFi motherboard BIOS is 3402.

I changed these three settings in the MSI Mode tool

High Definition Audio Controller IRQ 35 --Interrupt Priority - Undefined
High Definition Audio Controller IRQ 55 --Interrupt Priority - Undefined
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB IRQ 43 --Interrupt Priority - Undefined

the Interrupt priority is as it was before checking the box for MSI Mode. Here is a snapshot of the output.

What else might we try to fix this issue?

And BTW.. the motherboard BIOS is at optimised defaults, no overclocking. The new Ryzen BIOS has changed everything so much I want classes... heh.... before attempting to tweak it..

Namaste...

Qi.

Addendum: Almost 3 hours after rising from rest and resuming my videos... The latency seems to bounce a bit. lag in AV Sync appearing and vanishing, It is better, but the light popping remains.

Hi,

If this has not fixed your issue, the root cause is elsewhere, so :

- Update your BIOS to the last 3501 with AGESA 1.2.0.2 : https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_CROSSHAIR_VIII_HERO/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VIII-HERO-ASUS...
- Update your others drivers. You need these drivers for your ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard :

[DRIVERS] AMD Chipset/SATA (3xx/4xx/5xx/TRX40)

- AMD Chipset Drivers

[DRIVERS] Intel Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

- Intel Ethernet Drivers (Drivers Only) :

Drivers - I21x-AT (1.0GbE)

[DRIVERS] Realtek Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

- Realtek Ethernet Drivers (Drivers Only)

If your issue persists, open a thread in the AMD 4xx/5xx Series motherboards section and/or open a ticket at ASUS Support, I have a lot more expertise with Intel stuff than AMD stuff, sorry.

Hi,

As a reminder, you are in the wrong thread for your motherboard.

ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E Gaming WiFi is an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound Intel Z590 motherboard, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS Intel MB) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel Z590 & AMD TRX40)

hi ,

thnx for these drivers, 5.1 ist working again.

but:

Is it possible that with these drivers the volume control with the keyboard does not work anymore?

Thank you for your help

Hi,

No I don't think it's related, it is between your keyboard and Windows that it interacts. Uninstall & reinstall Corsair iCUE.
