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,
what is the "Sonic Suite Companion" App used for?

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 Nothing was wrong, I was just 6-12 months out of date so I wanted to update.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

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

Also, an unrelated issue - in a 2 speaker setup (connected to the green connector) when I do the left/right channel test in Realtek Audio Console, I hear both channels through both speakers, even though a YouTube audio test (and a Windows control panel audio test) seem fine.

Hi,

If your issue occurring with drivers from your motherboard support page (and therefore that it is not specific to the drivers that I propose) : Open a ticket with ASUS Support.

Thanks.

Is there a way to remove/clear the app list in SS3?
Why doesn't chrome show up there?

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.
