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).

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However, if if you want anyway to have EQ in Realtek app, you can try this (know that HDA drivers are legacy/outdated while your motherboard is designed to use modern UAD drivers) :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.

Wow, this seems like nightmare compared to usual driver updates. I'm in awe of you MoKiChU for figuring all this out!
I'll take a snapshot of my install before attempting, just to be safe.

Seems like this resets and then is base for new Realtek going forward so only gotta go through the initial driver wiping/cleaning once, right?

Then free to update as new releases are discovered and posted here by MoKiChU?

But before I do... so what exactly is new or improved compared to the 6.0.1.8666 driver and Sonic software from Asus? Some place I could see screenshots?

1) What the heck is the Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer? I added just b/c it was there thinking it was another UWP app but now see it's actually additional device in Speakers and Recording devices. What does it do and when would someone use it?
SONIC STUDIO VIRTUAL MIXER
A virtual audio device that lets streamers combine sound output and output from different apps. This allows you to mix your voice and video game audio within streaming software. A variety of adjustment and monitoring tools provide a high level of digital control.

2) Is this the master thread to subscribe to in order to get informed of future SS3 updates?
