OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).

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).

Thank you. I followed all the steps and it installed but the DTS doesn't seem to work, here is a screenshot

. Although I don't really need the DTS for anything, my Home-cinema has native scaler to transform the stereo into 5.1 (in stereo movies or Music), in movies with the native DTS/Dolby Digital it is already automatically recognized by the Homecinema itself. I just want the SPDIF to sound amplified, I want the sound to be louder than with the conventional drivers from the asus website: https://www.asus.com/es/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-GAMING-Z690-PLUS-D4/Help...

I assume those are HDA, how do I know if amplification is enabled, or is DTS required for some reason to be working? Thanks.

Hi,

The amplification is only for your 3.5mm jack outputs, not for your SPDIF/Optical output. Also, DTS Audio Processing is dedicated to your 3.5mm jack outputs.

Thanks in Advance!

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/7xx & AMD 5xx/6xx/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.

Also, updates your Realtek USB Audio Firmware to the last if it is not done yet (to run as admin) : https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/01AUDIO/USB_Audio_FW_Update_Tool_VID0B05_2021-11-25_ASUS.zip

Thank you. And any way to amplify also the sound by SPDIF? maybe some driver mod? I just can't find a way, I look at Techpowerup forums and I don't see a way either (I say that forum because that's where I got those drivers that amplified the SPDIF output on my previous Z370 E Gaming. Thank you

Hi,

There is nothing wrong, the issue is on your side :

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process
- Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process

Question for you @Mokichu:

Why the Drivers from the forum don't install the DTS Components?

Thx.

Since the 6.0.9251.1 WHQL drivers, there has been a major change made by Realtek regarding the drivers package type dedicated to your motherboard, which fact that DTS APO4x Core Sofware Component & DTS APO4x Service Sofware Component are no longer used by the new drivers package type architecture.

I think my question was going to be pretty much what you just asked. Previously on my ASUS Rog Crosshair VIIII Formula board using Mokichu drivers I always had DTS connect and iirc DTS Live options in Realtek Console digital out panel. Now its just setting to change sample rate.

Hi,

This it never was.

(Fix updated: Also fixed Nahimic and Sonic Suite services)
===================================

It fixes the issue with Sonic Studio 3 closing by itself after some seconds?

My problem is:

When i open SS3, makes the NAHIMIC service to close by itself and ofc. SS3 close too, because it needs that service to be running to work.

This fix doesn't works, my SS3 still closing by itself:

And yes, i did the installation of the audio drivers following the instructions here:

This is random bug in Sonic studio 3 (crash on advanced mode tab open. Also it crush nahimic service) Try to quick selecting basic mode
(It happens to me, too, and sometimes you have to try 10+ times.)

This is terrible buggy software

You launch fix with admin?
Also you should install realtek audio console (uwp version from MS store)

And yes. Try this driver for test:
