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 @MoKiChU. You are appreciated. STAY WELL!

Hello everyone, Hello Mokichu,

I had not updated my drivers for over 6 months and I just updated them with the update method and it worked as such a breeze, no problems at all. I love it.

I do have a question to all however, what is the .cmd line I have to add at the end of the script in order to be able to pause and require a key press for the restart? I want to be able to see if everything updated correctly, it just moves too fast. DriverStoreExplorer works too but not sure if I am missing anything there..

Another question for Mokichu this time, I know you work tirelessly to bring ROG community ton of drivers. Do you have any plans to bring updates for ROG items such as keyboards, mice, screens, and especially ROG Aura items? I have had so many problems with Armoury Crate (which used to be the interface to update all peripherals properly) so I went back to old school ROG Aura software but that one doesn't update components. Just curious, thank you.

DTS:X Ultra Automatically Starts

Hi,

You don't have an DTS:X Ultra motherboard type, so you don't have to install DTS:X Ultra app.

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.

So the new DTS drivers for my X570-E work fine except that the DTS app auto starts when my PC comes on and even when it resumes from sleep. And every time it changes my audio settings. It just won't stay off. Plus it often spams notifications that it is Enabled. Anyone know of a simple way of fixing this?

Just don't install (or uninstall if it installed automatically) DTS app if you are not using it.

Hi,

I do not release anything that is made/build directly by ASUS and not by OEMs (like BIOS, ASUS Software ...).

Hi,

SS3 Companion has been set up by A-Volute to check/update your version of SS3 app & SS3 APO driver.

For people who follow me, this tool is useless, you can disable the launch of the SS3 Companion on Windows startup via SS3 Companion GUI, but for people who do not follow me, it allows them to have their SS3 app & SS3 APO driver up to date.

Firstly thanks MoKiChU for all your efforts!

I just did a full reinstall. Nothing was wrong, I was just 6-12 months out of date so I wanted to update.

Everything worked fine except one thing. When I click on "Install" for "Sonic Studio 3" at https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9n81c41dq5sj, the Microsoft Store app opens on my PC, but the "Install" button does not do anything. I click it, but literally nothing happens and the app is not queued or downloaded.

I can install other apps fine (including DTS Sound Unbound and Sonic Radar III) but Sonic Studio 3 will not install.

The "Sonic Suite Companion" takes me to the same place but still nothing happens.

A reboot does not fix this.

Also a "wsreset" did not help.

Is there an alternate link to install the Realtek Audio Console?
It seems the it's not available for download on Windows Store.

Hi,

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process

- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process.

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.
