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).

Thank you.

I followed the instructions and is working fine. The only thing is that SonicStudio 3 is causing Cold War to sometimes fail to load so there must be some sort of conflict. I have uninstalled that for the time being.

I was just wondering what advantages are there to install your driver set instead of the Asus one ?

You can just uninstall SS3 and use the Realtek Audio Control apps EQ.
The only advantage for a gamer to use SS3, is the upmix/surround function, that basically does the same as the Dolby Access apps Game EQ's Performance Mode for sound virtual positioning.

Thank you for the reply.

I meant whats the advantage to using the driver app packages from MoKiChU compared to the Asus Website ?

Would you recommend dolby access? Do you have to pay?

The advantage is newer drivers can have better sound.
And also newer ones have security updates some time.
So far the last drivers 9137.1 are the closest sounding to HDMI passthrough I have ever heard, therefore they obviously are set perfect as far as compression and filtering are concerned.

I didn't have to pay anything for Dolby Access because a code for it in Microsoft Store came with my RIG 500 headset.

I only use Dolby Access when I use HDMI to my Dolby Atmos soundbar though, because SS3 seems to work a little wonky on it.

Mokichu, been installing all your updated drivers throughout this forum for a long, long time. You are awesome and very appreciated. A couple questions I've always wondered:

1) I have a z390 STRIX today. If I replaced this one day w/a new Asus z590 or future z690 motherboard w/Realtek chip but did NOT ever install the official Asus Realtek drivers from Asus downloads page, then could just come directly here and install latest Realtek from you w/o needing to do the critical clean up first step? IOW, it's installing the Asus-provided drivers that creates the bind b/t Asus mb and the official Asus Realtek drivers that has to be broken with the Cleanup steps you list. True or false?

2) Are these Realtek drivers specific to Asus motherboard or would they work for any mb that fits the Realtek features ({DTS,unbound, etc) ?


Thanks,
Steve
