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).

Cool, I had selected the wrong one initially from the main post.

This is just an update with Install.cmd for me it seems..

EDIT: Will completely uninstall old stuff I have installed to start from scratch.

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.

Hi,

The drivers are not show in installed apps because like most of the drivers packages I offer, they are Drivers Only (without software or .exe installer included). If you need to uninstall them one day, just follow your CLEANUP process.

SSVM (Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer) is built-in only with ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards but it is backwards compatible with ASUS ROG SS3 motherboards. I had included it in the ROG SS3 drivers package at the time but a lot of people complained about its presence and that they wanted to remove it because they did not want it.

In order to give ROG SS3 users a choice, here are the change made :


@ ROG SS3 users : You can install/use Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer, it's optional and it's done via a independent drivers package (to be used only once).
/!\ Note /!\ : If you want to uninstall it someday, you will have to follow your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process.


Thread updated.

Thank you for the prompt response, and the update links. I did not know it was specifically for the SSVM (yes i see it in the driver listing, but wanted confirmation due to what windows was doing), but I understand why windows is trying to give it as an optional update via windows update - as it tries to cover both sets of bords who use nahimic enhancements.

I remember when you split it, and still have the link/files to the first separate SSVM files to install it by itself 😄 . Enoy the rest of your day.
