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).

we back to only gen 2 XD

Thanks for sharing the drivers. Unfortunately I have a little problem. Motherboard is ASUS Crosshair VIII Impact.
While installing "UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB" it hangs for a long time while installing the DTS extension. Then it restarts. Afterwards, looking at device manager, the DTS extension is not listed under "Software components". However "Driver store explorer" lists the DTS extension. Finally installed "DTS Sound Unbound" and everything seems to be working fine. Its lists DTS as licensed and appears to be working. Does this mean it installed correctly or not? Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, this mean it installed correctly.

Seem to be having a repeated issue with the Gen 2 driver. (Not sure if Gen 1 has this issue...) I tend to use the Sonic Studio UpMix a lot on a 5.1 surround system from stereo sourced audio. The issue I'm having is Sonic Studio switching the Studio Effects to Off automatically. I'll open up Sonic Studio to go to click onto the Sonic Studio Effects to switch it back on and sometimes it will just switch back on before I even click on it. (Like possessed...) The issue only seems to happen during UpMixing audio. If I am playing Dolby Surround or any kind of audio already in surround, it's fine. Works great! But if I'm trying to upmix it from regular stereo to surround the issue starts up. Sometimes it will be okey for a little while but will start acting up.

I've tried cleaning out the drivers and reinstalling (using cleaning steps... not new to this as I've been doing this for a while now.) Tried an older driver version and works fine; has no issues like this! This happens in browsers, happens in apps, happens in Windows Media Player... happens in games! It's not discriminatory...

I was searching the post and saw a mentioning about Gen 1 drivers and virtualization but nothing specific, so that was why I mention I wasn't sure about Gen 1 drivers. (I don't have them.)

If someone could help out here, it would be nice to get this up and stable. Below is my system information.

EDIT: Yes, the app power options are sat to ALWAYS so it's not being shut down for power savings.

Windows 11 Pro Build 22000.376 x64
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
32gb GEIL EVO X II
ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F Gaming
EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC ULTRA, OVERCLOCKED, 2.75


Hi there, unfortunately I had the same issue a long time ago but I don`t remember how I fixed it ...sent a PM with a link for the 9279 driver with Gen 1 that I use, for me the Gen 2 driver removes the EQ from Realtek Audio Console (on SPDIF in my case) so unfortunately I will be sticking with this driver version for a while, hopefully MoKiChU starts including the Gen1 drivers again...

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.

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.

Hi,

Have you scrupulously followed the processes that I gave you in another thread ? :

If you have scrupulously followed the processes :

- Check in your task manager if you have manually disabled the launch of Realtek HD Audio Universal Service when Windows starts up, if that is the case, re enable it and restart your PC.
- Check in your task manager that the RtkAudioUniversalService service is launched.
