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).

Then I will install the driver you shared.
Of course, I will remove the current driver as you said for a clean install first.

Is it possible for me to have problems after all these procedures?
I'm having a similar problem in Armory Crate.
When Armory Create upgraded, it also caused some problems.
It starts without problems, but sometimes I get a "services could not be installed" warning at startup.
I guess asus does not adapt these softwares to the new windows update when new windows updates come.

Hi, excuse my ignorance, my motherboard is a Asus ROG Strix X570-F and I'm using the driver available in the driver&tools download page:
Version 6.0.9088.1
2021/05/12 576.07 MBytes
Realtek Audio Driver V6.0.9088.1 For Windows 10 64-bit.
Improve system stability & Support Windows 10 latest version.
Could you tell me if that one is correct?
Thanks,

Follow to the letter the indications of my previous post, with SS3 Cleaner tool, not only the CLEANUP/INSTALL processes.
Anything is possible, I'm not a guesser, but if you don't let Armoury Crate update your drivers (and more precisely the Realtek Audio Drivers), chances are you won't have any more issues, indeed.
The installation method used by ASUS can actually cause conflicts with Windows Update.
The driver packages I offer are 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).
Hi,
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.

As explained previously, I recommended it to avoid ZoneID blocking trouble, but it is not an imperative, you can even use the Windows Explorer built-in decompression tool.
But if you don't use 7-Zip context menu to extract your .zip, you will have to :
- For each downloaded .zip : ZoneID unblock the .zip (Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK).
or
- Disable the ZoneID blocking completely (you will no longer have to unblock each downloaded .zip, whatever the decompression tool you use) :- Right-click Windows Start button then click Launch then type gpedit.msc > OK
- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
- Do not preserve zone information in file attachment : Enabled > OK
Correct. You will have to follow directly the UPDATE process then, optionally, delete old drivers via Driver Store Explorer.
No, the CLEANUP process is only necessary during the first install (in order to start on a healthy basis), or if you have an issue.

Sonic suite companion popped up to download sonic studio. I downloaded sonic studio. Now, do I need the sonic suite companion? my options are run companion at startup or uninstall companion. The only thing clickable is uninstall companion or the run companion at startup checkmark then thats it just minimizes in task bar if i exit out of it and when i reopen the same thing. Sonic Studio also will close out on me.

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.
Everything you need is contained in your drivers package.
Yes that's normal (Drivers Only), if one day you want uninstall your Realtek Audio Drivers, just follow your CLEANUP process as explained previously.

All depends on the generation of your motherboard :[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx) | UAD : Realtek Audio in Device Manager
