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).

Not sure what happened a few months ago my Realtek wasn’t very high definition like. Â*The audio just isn’t crisp for gaming. I’ve tried everything installing old drivers. I stumbled by this thread looks helpful but also confusing idk to what process to use and even what install.cmd is or driver explorer. Idk why uninstalling Realtek going to z390e audio driver Realtek just won’t workÂ*

Is this important everytime we even update the drivers?

Hi,

This is just a precaution during the first install and not an imperative, given that when SS3 app needs you to restart your PC following an update of the S33 app (and not following an update of the drivers as you say), a popup prompt asks you to restart your PC when the update is complete.

Is it important even for other of your packages of these drivers?

No this only concerns SS3.

Maybe a stupid question but , are those drivers tested in w11?

Hi,

The 6.0.9200.1 version is the first WHQL certified for Windows 11, so all the following versions are therefore WHQL certified for Windows 11.

Morning,
I have an Asus Apex XIII Z590, which driver is suitable for me
Use google translate, thanks in advance

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (MB | Intel 5xx & AMD 5xx/TRX40).

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.

I’m new with cmd do I just copy paste the location of the setup.exe file from the Realtek driver?

Sorry for the stupid question, how do I know what kind of motherboard mine (Rog Strix Z490-A Gaming) is in this sense? I am having a problem with recording Zoom (or Teams) lectures (the sound appears with some sort of boom echo that is not present on my other device - cheap HP laptop - and appears only in recordings, not in live stream) and tried to uninstall and reinstall all audio drivers, but the official Asus package does not seem to be installing (Asus setup does not work on my machine and I don't know why), so now I have lost all sound. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

No, legacy installer (with Setup.exe) hasn't been used in my drivers packages since the change of the install mode (from legacy installer (with Setup.exe) install mode to drivers only (with Install.cmd) install mode) that I did a long time ago, as is the case for all the others drivers that I offer.

Those who have been following me for a long time know that I have always tried to offer the most refined drivers and the most integrated in the system (Drivers Only) when the number of .inf to install manually is not excessive. The .cmds used here for the install/update of Realtek Audio Drivers is a continuation of this Drivers Only logic (the .cmds use Microsoft PNPUtil (which is included natively in every Windows system files) and contain only a check of the admin right then an automation of the equivalent of a right click then Install on each necessary .inf, in the necessary order, according to the case then an auto restart).

So :

- If you want uninstall your Realtek Audio Drivers : Follow your CLEANUP process.
- If you want make a clean install or install your Realtek Audio Drivers for the first time : Follow your CLEANUP process then follow your INSTALL process.
- If you want update your Realtek Audio Drivers (after a clean install or first time install from here) : Follow your UPDATE process then once it's done, you can use Driver Store Explorer to remove the old drivers (Click on the "Select Old Drivers" button > Check the box "Force Deletion" then click on the "Delete Driver" button > Restart your PC).

using a Prime Z590-A /11700k /WiFi 6e /BT5.2
I have both the release build and the Dev build of Windows 11 installed on different M'2's on this system.
All drivers posted by MoKiChU have worked just fine for me for all devices under Windows 10, 11, and 11 Dev

Any odd behavior in Sonic Radar, Realtek Console apps or the Nahamic service worth mentioning? Also curious in case you're using 5.1 analog speakers, is there an auto fill option for when listening to stereo sources?

You have taken my response out of context.
I was replying to an inquiry about driver compatibility for Windows 11.

To answer your question directly, I mostly use HDMI from the gpu to an AVR or Displayport from the gpu to a monitor with builtin speakers.
The only scenario where I use the onboard audio is with headphones plugged into the front panel jack.
Therefore, I have no experience that directly relates to your specific inquiries.
