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).

Hi ;

Thank you for your work MoKiChU !

I have a Z690 Extreme with ALC40XX, which driver should I choose ?
I have bought both DTS Unbound and Dolby Access on Windows 11 store.

Kind regards.

Hey, this was asked before by others but it seems that some replies are missing or were removed after the forum maintenance so I can't find the answer.
What drivers should I get for the x570 Dark Hero?

Also a bit of a different question - is there a fix for the Nahimic service causing severe system slowdowns (making most programs take 30+ seconds to open) that isn't just disabling the service? I've had this issue with my Z390 Gaming-F system as well, and there have been posts about it here and on Reddit for years reporting similar issues, is there perhaps a piece of software I'm missing that's causing the Nahimic service to hang, or is it really just that bad? (I'm also assuming it's injecting itself to every new process for the equalizer controls and w/e, followed by hanging for around 30 seconds which causes the process to hang)
