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,

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/6xx & 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.

Hi MoKiChu, is it UAD SS3-DTS ok driver for:

Rog Strix Z490-F

Hi MoKiChU,
thank you supporting us. Done this as described above. For now everything is working fine. I cant find any DTS APO device in device manager. Is this the major change? My mb is a Strix B550-F.

Hi,

Correct, Realtek has made a major architecture change of the SS3-DTS drivers type, which causes that DTS APO4x SWC devices/drivers are no longer used with the new Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) architecture.

Note : You cannot choose your drivers package, each drivers package is dedicated to a specific motherboard type. If you're not using DTS Sound Unbound, just don't install it.

Thanks for the update.
But is there an inf missing? One of the realtek driver infs?
There were always 2 driver infs for the realtek audio device.
One was used, it seems like...
Now, there is only the used inf included and I had to force update few the other inf through the device manager.

I have a issue i have a z390 e mobo and I downloaded the correct drivers but now i get randomly when i try to open Sonic studio 3 the following error message: "The current system is not support, or the audio driver has not been properly installed", sometimes it works fine no issues but majority of the time i am greated with this error. I have re installed the OS, fully wiped the drive, (I am on windows 11 all updated) as i originally installed the os via a update and I thought maybe that method may have caused something, after a fresh install I followed ur instructions and still nothing, I have re installed the os 3 addtional times all clean installs fully wiping the drive to try different means of getting ss3 working but no avail, please can you help me i see 4 other people with the same issue, one member stated ss3 was updated in ms store, maybe a conflict somewhere, any help would be awesome thank you
