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).

I have now repeated this entire process twice more. When opening up sonic studio or radar I still receive the message "The current system is not supported, or the audio driver has not been properly installed. TIMEOUT"

TLDR - Can I download and install just the RealTek audio driver without Sonic Studio, DTS, and SSE? If yes, can someone provide a link to the RealTek audio driver I need? My voice using a webcam mic sometimes sounds like a chipmunk and I am hoping that installing the RealTek audio driver will stop this from happening.

I have a Logitec C310 USB webcam plugged in and now and then my voice sounds like a chipmunk. The problem comes and goes. Incoming or recorded sound are OK. Its just the microphone in the webcam. Sometimes unplugging and replugging the webcam USB fixes it but today I decided to look at the drivers. I want to install just the RealTek audio driver in the hopes that it will stop my webcam mic from sounding like a chipmunk. I don't want to install the Sonic Studio stuff. I had all of that stuff installed before and never used any of it. I also had a Realtek audio mixer looking thing that seemed to work OK but I never really used that either. I just need basic sound.

I went into Control Panel - Sound Settings and changed the sample rate from 48KHz to 32Khz and the chipmunk sound stopped. I set it back to 48KHz and it stayed working. I don't know if changing the sample rate maybe unstuck something but it did kill the chipmunk. I looked in Device Manager under Audio inputs and outputs / Microphone (HD webcam C310). It says the driver is Microsoft v10.0.19041.1 dated Dec 6, 2019. I clicked Driver Details and it said "No driver files are required or have been loaded for this device." I looked in Drive Store Explorer for Microsoft driver v10.0.19041.1 and it says that is a printer driver dated June 21, 2006. I checked the other devices in Device Manager - Audio inputs and outputs and they all show the same Microsoft driver v10.0.19041.1. Maybe this is a generic label that appears when no specific drivers are loaded? Why does Drive Store Explorer say this is a printer driver?

So I am thinking that if I install the RealTek audio driver it may fix the chipmunk issue but I really don't need or want all the other stuff. I think if I run MoKiChU's set.exe file it will install everything but maybe not because there is a separate download for Sonic Suite II v2.2.3901.0. The driver on the Asus support site is v6.01.8960 which says it includes the Realtek audio driver + Sonic Studio III + VAC (not sure what that is), so I don't want to install this package either. I looked on the RealTek site. It has version R2.82 dated July 26,2017. Seems like the RealTek site would always have the latest drivers but this R2.82 does not look very current to me.

So where can I download just the RealTek audio driver?

Thanks

Hi All.
Is it just me and my setup that the latest driver doesnt work in Games??? The amplify level disappear in control panel, and the sound is low. It happens when I start up games from Steam.

Happy for any help!!

I noticed this too with Steam game. Launch the game and then alt-tab back to desktop and open Volume Settings. I found that the game was somehow set to 20% volume instead of 100%. Change it.

Hi!!
Thanks for the advice. For me it isnt the volume that reduces, but the amplify level that shoots down. It turns off!!

Hello, I have the same problem. Did you find a solution? It has been the same since the first day of Windows 11. There is no problem in Windows 10.
