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).

Question.. what audio drivers are the correct ones for the Z790 Hero board? Since Day 1 of having the board and with a fresh install of Win11. I have constantly gotten random AudioDG.Exe application crashes. 72 of them in the last 2 days. I'm not sure what to do... I have reinstalled the audio drivers based on the official ones from the support site. I'm unsure if these will help or not. Thanks

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) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (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.

Hi Mokichu,

I recently got a ROG Strix Scar laptop, it is G533ZW-XS96 and it looks like it uses Realtek audio. I am not sure which driver package I should use, could you point me in the right direction?

Thank you for everything.

That didnt work for me! Vanguard still flags it..

Hi,

It was the only workaround allowing you to not lose the use of SS3 and its features/enhancements. If you don't mind losing the use of SS3, follow the instructions given here (with Realtek Only install type) : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?127457-Remove-Sonic#post854207.

Hi,

I don't offer audio drivers packages for notebooks/laptops in order to focus on my field : DIY PC/Motherboards (hence the fact that my threads are in PC Components category).

Please refer to your product support page to download the appropriate drivers for your product (if you have any issue with them, please contact ASUS Support).

[HumbleSiPilot77]

Hi Mokichu, thank you for your response, yes, I remember now that you had mentioned this before. Apologies, I must have forgotten about it. I still have my PC so I am looking forward to new drivers as always, thank you again.
