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).

I've already tried all the combinations of drivers/apps supplied here, without any luck. Previous drivers (version without DTS) works fine. When I install latest DTS driver pack, Realtek Audio Console displays an empty section named "DTS effects" or something like that. I suspect there should be at least some hyperspace controls and all that cool DTS/FX stuff, but no. So I assumed that something is wrong, but maybe I'm just blind. Then I tried messing with installation batch file, you know the rest.
btw, Realtek Audio Console headphone impedance detection is broken too - sometimes it measures a depth of my grief instead of actual impedance.

Thank you. Installation went well. Followed each step. One question...I only see the Realtek Console now and not the Realtek Control driver. Does this matter? Everything seems to be working great. Thank you.
