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).

Tried update process and clean + install and still isn't recognized by Armoury Crate. Honestly, doesn't really matter to me, but curious if anyone else had any luck fixing it?

Thanks for private testing 😉
In your case, in order to come back to a clean base, please follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process & let me know (for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process).

Confirmed working!

Can someone please help me i have Asus Tuf x-470 plus gaming motherboard. Which driver i must use ? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You have an ASUS TUF DTS Custom motherboard, so :
You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS Custom) from the first post of this thread.
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.

Thank you sir it works. But there is audio equalizer only for headphones (DTS), before i was having also Eq for speakers.

Hi,
Since you have an ASUS TUF DTS Custom motherboard, it is by design, it's intended to work like this at least for ASUS products : If third party drivers/app are built-in, the equalization is done via the third party drivers/app (DTS Custom drivers/app in your case).
However, if if you want anyway to have EQ in Realtek app, you can try this (know that HDA drivers are legacy/outdated while your motherboard is designed to use modern UAD drivers) :
Download Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers (HDA - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME DTS&RTK) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (Intel 6x/7x/8x/9x/1xx & AMD Legacy 6xx/7xx/8xx/9xx).
Follow scrupulously the CLEANUP process then the INSTALL process from ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME Realtek motherboards category from the same thread.
Also for information :
HDA Drivers are for Windows 7 to Windows 10
UAD Drivers are only for Windows 10 64 bit or more recent
HDA Drivers use Win32/Legacy apps (including Realtek HD Audio Manager)
UAD Drivers use UWP apps downloaded from Microsoft Store (including Realtek Audio Control/Console)
HDA Drivers have a tray icon (possibility to disable it)
UAD Drivers don't have a tray icon (without possibility to enable it)
Glossary :
HDA = High Definition Audio
HDA (Realtek) = Standard (NVIDIA) = Legacy (Microsoft & Intel)
UAD = Universal Audio Driver
UAD (Realtek) = DCH (NVIDIA & Intel now) = DCHU (Microsoft) = UWD (Microsoft & Intel before)
DCH/DCHU = Declarative Componentized Hardware Support Apps Universal API compliance
UWD = Universal Windows Driver.
