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, just wanted to know what the difference is between these drivers and the ones you'd download directly from Asus or somewhere like station-drivers. Also, what is the difference between HDA and UAD drivers that you can download from places such as this? https://www.station-drivers.com/index.php/en/bios-pour-cartes-meres/270-bios-cartes-meres/amd-x570-a...

I've never used any Realtek drivers on my current Asus MBs. I've just left whatever Windows installed by default.

I've got a soundcard in my main system, but was just curious how good is onboard audio these days compared to a dedicated sound card from brands such as Creative? Last time I used onboard audio on a previous Asus MB years ago (X79), the audio volume was lower on the onboard audio (is that normal for it to be like that) compared to the Creative X-Fi that I had in that system, so I stuck with the Soundcard.

Also, how do I figure out on my own what drivers I need for my MBs from the ones you've done? Current Asus MBs I have is Crosshair 8 Hero (wi-fi), Crosshair 6 Hero & 6 Extreme. Do they all use the same driver?

Even though I haven't used any of your driver packages yet, thanks for the hard work in making these drivers.

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!
I have the TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 and have been using the drivers for ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS AP MB as advised. Things are working, but I'm wondering why the update process takes several minutes to complete. There is a long wait on a certain point during the installation. I did the full clean-up, but the "problem" returns when I later update again. Any suggestions?

Hi,

It's not an issue, just be patient, DTS APO4x Extension Driver folder contains more than 6780 files in more than 240 subfolders.
