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 everyone,

In order to prevent Armoury Crate from trying to install its own audio drivers packages because it can't detect my audio drivers packages, the drivers packages architecture and the processes from the first post of this thread has been optimized. So :

- If you are already using my drivers packages : Download the appropriate drivers package type for your motherboard type and follow this process (for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process) :

- Launch "Install.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > "Next" > The installer will ask you to uninstall your current drivers > "Next"
- Then it will ask you to restart your PC > "Finish"
- Then at startup it will automatically launch the installation of new drivers > "Next"
- Then it will ask you to restart your PC > "Finish"

- If you are not already using my drivers packages : Download the appropriate drivers package type for your motherboard type (if you can't figure out which one, ask me) and 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,

Hi,

i upgraded from W10 21H2 to W11 22H2 and from this time i have trouble with my sound.

Sound is not so dynamic and the option for setting "plify" mode is missing so my headphones are on a really low volume.
The strange thing, sometimes the settings are there and after a view minutes it dissapears.

It tried some uninstall and install, change from win32 to Control Panels from Store but the problem is the same.
In addition it is confusing for me.
Realtek Audio Console, Sonic Studio, what do i need?

Can someone tell me what driver from this post will be the best one from my board?

And does someone else has the problems with the missing amplify settings and headphone impedance?

Thank you so much.

Hello,

I have looked through several pages of this thread and found either confusing answers or a lack of answers to people asking about my motherboard.
I am hoping someone can help me here as I originally came in here fed up with this issue and was going to make a separate post for support.

I have an ROG Strix B550-F motherboard.

Since the day I took the motherboard out of the box, the supplied audio drivers on the rog.asus.com website have NEVER worked. Not once over SEVERAL reformats.

If I install the manufacturer supplied drivers, the sound will not work. If I change the volume on the volume slider in the launch menu, it will lag and show no "response" where it usually indicates the tone being played with a fancy animation.

I have tried the drivers from the support page, and from Armoury Crate with no success. This issue has been ongoing for well over 2 years now with several attempts by myself to make it work. The only way I can get sound to work on this motherboard is by uninstalling the ROG supplied drivers and using the base windows ones.

Reviewing other posts about the B550-F in this thread I see a reference to Gen 1 or Gen 2. What is that and how do I identify my motherboard?
Referring back to the original post in this thread, I see several drivers and cleanup / installation processes listed with no instructions for identifying which one specifically should work with my motherboard.

How do I identify which driver I should be using? Again, this is a ROG Strix B550-F

Please help here. This issue has been a building frustration for the life of the motherboard, which wasn't cheap and wasn't sold with the promise of basic windows audio drivers.

Hi,
i cleaned up everything and installed it via the batch file. System is not asking for restart, its restarting instant after batch is done.

No apps have been installed, i installed them manually with your links.
Pflify setting is back atm but the really bad thing, it looks like there is no difference in left & right channel in my headphones anymore.
So in the Realtek Audio Console there are two speakers that i can click with mouse. If i click on the left speaker my right speaker is making noise as well.
Same feeling approved by a youtube video for gaming sound positioning in Battlefiled. That worked before updating to that driver.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

What you are describing indicates that you did not follow my instructions, you used Update.cmd (dedicated to the UPDATE process), instead of using Install.cmd (dedicated to the INSTALL process).

Anyway, if what I offer does not suit you, please follow your CLEANUP process and install the drivers package from your motherboard support page.

Thread updated.

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
