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).

Hey MoKiChU, you remind me DanielK with Creative drivers years ago... Nice work!
I`m on a ROG STRIX Z390-F GAMING, i`ve installed Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB), after rebooting i opened the device manager e noticed that it misses SS3|SSVM VAD Media Driver. Did I do something wrong?
I`ve solved the problem already, downloaded UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB, copy/paste OEM_INF_Media_-_ASUS, edited install.bat and it's done.
I think you just might be aware.

Hi,

SSVM is optional with the SS3 motherboards drivers packages (not built-in, only built-in with SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards drivers packages).

Here is the optional package (Launch "Install.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > Automatic restart when install is done) :

SSVM Installer : Link

Note : If you later want to uninstall Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer, you will have to follow your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process.

Also do your drivers install SS3 to change sounds etc?

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.

As I explained to you previously, you are the only one to report this kind of issue (moreover you obviously do not have the issue on your OS/Software config based on your Z390 motherboard), so, I deduce that your issue is specific to your OS/Software config case and is not related to the drivers package.

The logic to have is :

- If you have an issue with the drivers package from your motherboard support page (or just want to be up to date) > CLEANUP + INSTALL process to install/use the drivers package from this thread.
- If you have an issue with the drivers package from this thread > CLEANUP process then install/use the drivers package from your motherboard support page.
- If you have an issue in both cases > Open a ticket with ASUS Support.

Well the pictured setting took care of the issue. After all the warning was mentioning files from the internet although I don't get why Windows was seeing the Realtek software as from the internet It's not like I was downloading a file and trying to run it. Makes absolutely no sense. Ticking that box stopped the warning message on boot .

I also for good measure went into the registry and forced off UAC since it was still showing 1 even though it was on don't notify. That didn't matter either.

Hi Mokichu,

I have just purchased a ROG STRIX B560-F GAMING WIFI motherboard.

I tried using the SS3 drivers on the Asus website but it causes Cold War to intermittently start. (removing drivers it starts every time)
Realtek Audio Driver V6.0.9088.1 For Windows 10 64-bit.
Improve system stability & Support Windows 10 latest version.

Can these drivers be used on this motherboard?

Kind regards

Hi,

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.
