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).

The same fix above can be done with Realtek's audio drivers (from this thread) as well, and is seemingly required with true 4.0 speaker setups (front L/R, rear L/R, no sub). For Realtek, you'd select 5.1 Speaker Config, and remove (disable) the optional Center speaker. I know this affected FFXIV as well, and likely affects other games too.

To test this consistently in D2R, I went to the main menu and started the Act 1 cinematic. You should hear environmental things from the rear speakers, but no dialogue. All dialogue only comes from the front speakers (if you hear any voice from the rear speakers, you're likely upmixing Stereo).


I have 2 pairz of sub/Sats for front/rear speakers so same 4.0 setup. I use Quadrophic option in Realtek control panel and get directional sound from rear speakers. What does setting up as a 5.1 with no nlcenter or sub do for you that Quadraphonic doesn't? I treod this setup briefly but found it less appealing. If I recall I got far less rear output for many games.

Hi,

- 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.
- Check that Realtek HD Audio Universal Service is Enabled in your Startup tab in your Task Manager.

Also, to avoid ZoneID blocking trouble :

- 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) :

- 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.

Hi,

In order not to generate more confusion than there is already, please stop posting in this thread which is no more dedicated to your current motherboard, and post in the appropriate thread that I indicated to you previously : [DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (Intel 5xx/6xx & AMD 5xx/6xx/TRX40).

- Press Windows key + X > Task Manager > Services tab : Check that DcomLaunch, RpcEptMapper & RtkAudioUniversalService services running.
- Right click on your Realtek Audio Control/Console app icon > App settings > Reset
- Restart your PC.

If after that it still does not work for you, I have nothing else to suggest to you except a Windows 10/11 21H2 clean install.

The 3 services above are running.
I don't even see that Realtek Audio Control Console app icon on my taskbar notification bar, where is it?

Edit: I went into settings-App-Realtek Audio Console- Advanced options- Reset. Restarted PC and it seemed to work now. Not sure why it got messed up?

In your Start menu, not tray icons, anyway you finded another way to do it & this fixed your issue.

Hi,

I have Maximus CODE IX z270

I disabled ZoneID "Group Policy Method" and I install
"Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK MB)"

I got error "Can not connect to RPC service" when launch Realtek Audio Control

and when I look to service I didn't find RtkAudioUniversalService

I did clean install, and problem still present!!
