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 everyone,

Total noob here... needs some explanation.
I've recently build a new PC with an ASUS X570-E GAMING motherboard. It's been 10+ years since I built one 😛

Do I need any of these drivers posted here and if so, why and which ones?
Are the original drivers not okay?

If I understand correctly, the original drivers provided don't work correctly for surround sound. I have a 5.1 system BTW.
These drivers provided here are modified to make everything work as intended? Am I correct?

What I find confusing on the ASUS driver download page is which ones to choose. The top ones seem to be the most recent ones. But then there are 'older' entries which seem to provide more or even other apps/drivers.
I even had to download additional drivers through Windows update to get my Bluetooth working. Not sure that's how it's supposed to be :rolleyes:

I also installed Sonic Suite but this wasn't inlcuded in the drivers. I found this by accident in the Windows store. What gives, ASUS?

Anyway, I would really appreciate some help or explanition if I need additional/other drivers and which ones to pick. I'm quite confused.
And thanks MoKiChU for your work (even if I wouldn't need them? 😄 )

Thanks in advance!


Hi,

The installation method used by ASUS can actually cause conflicts with Windows Update.

The driver packages I offer are up to date, WHQL certified (not modded), and mainly drivers only using an Microsoft official install method (via Microsoft PnPUtil), which are Windows Update Ready (i.e. even if Windows Update updates an item of the drivers package, it will not generate any conflict or other oddities).


You need these drivers for your new ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming motherboard :

[DRIVERS] AMD Chipset/SATA (3xx/4xx/5xx/TRX40)

- AMD Chipset Drivers


[DRIVERS] Intel Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

- Intel Ethernet Drivers (Drivers Only) :

Drivers - I21x-AT (1.0GbE)


- Intel WiFi Drivers (Drivers Only) :

Drivers - 9xxx/AX2xx


- Intel Bluetooth Drivers (Drivers Only)


[DRIVERS] Realtek Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

- Realtek Ethernet Drivers (Drivers Only)


[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx)

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 the 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.

Wow, great. Thank you for replying so fast and the explantion!

Okay, I'll give it a try, making sure I follow your steps correctly.

EDIT: one more question, does this mean the next updates will install correctly through Windows update or should I come back here and update from your links?
I have bookmarked this page nonetheless.

EDIT2: Ah, this is what I need to do to update:
- Launch "Install.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > Automatic restart when install is done

Note : Realtek Audio Control/Console + Sonic Studio III & Sonic Radar III + DTS Sound Unbound will be updated automatically via the MS Store.

The drivers you find in my threads will always be newer, but if you don't update your drivers from my threads, Windows Update will do it after a while.

Hey!
Does anyone know which are the correct drivers for the

I tried again with these update drivers and the issue is still there. I also disabled hibernation and enabled MSI. Considering at least 4 of my friends have the exact same issue on very different hardware, I'd say it's not something related to my configuration. I'm going to use these drivers for a bit anyway.


Hi,

If that doesn't fix or reduce your issue, open a ticket with ASUS Support (and/or you can post in ROG Care section : ROG Care).
