OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).

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).

No you can't. You must use the Install/Update Process corresponding to your motherboard.

I told you which Install/Update Process to use (you have a ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard), and if you had followed scrupulously the INSTALL process with cleanup step as I told you, you would have noticed which .cmd should be used in your case. A little rigor please ...

Mokichu, welcome back to ROG Forums, I was going to ask about this on the other platform but since you are back here...

I did my first .cmd style installation yesterday and it went smoothly, however there was a bit confusion on my part so I redid the installation with internet disabled, the whole time I was expecting to see the UI for Realtek's installer but that never came, I later figured that was the purpose. What confused me was this;



As you can see, the Audio IO properties still have the MS driver, but if you scroll down to software components, those are the new drivers. Do I need to fix this? If so, what should I do? Since everything is working fine, I figured wouldn't hurt to ask.

One other thing is a bit on the feedback side as far as the instructions go.

4)Use these A-Volute cleanup tools (Run as admin : 1- Third Party drivers cleanup <--- This one prompts a restart, I think it would be better to put that in the instructions because when I saw it for the first time, I thought something else triggered a restart prompt.

5) Perform a cleanup of the registry (with CCleaner Free or others) <-- Should we restart at this point or go straight to the .cmd installer?

Everything else is perfect.

Hi,

This driver is not intended to be updated, it is a system driver.

These steps are not absolutely necessary and have been removed from the Install Process cleanup to simplify it.

Well.

Hello @MoKiChU and welcome back.
My motherboard is ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PLUS.
Which are the correct drivers for it? Are the last ones, for RTK motherboards?

Thank you again!

Hi,

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF) from this thread. Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.

Note (in order to choose correctly the install/update process to use) : You have a ASUS TUF DTS Custom motherboard.

Which one i should download for: ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI)

Thx.

@MoKiChU ... First off, thank you very much for your stellar work here, I found this thread at the back end of last year after a new build with the Crosshair Hero VIII (WiFi), and I am absolutely certain I would have taken the PC outback and smashed it with a hammer if it wasn't for the drivers here and this thread! I cannot actually express my thanks enough to you my good sir!

I kinda don't want to ask this question, because if the threads I've read over the last week are anything to go by, then the HP Reverb is such a broken piece of kit, that there is probably very little that anyone can do to help, but I figured that I sort of have an obligation to post something about my recent failed experience, because it seems to be relevant to the Realtek drivers in some sense, (I think)!

Yes, the HP Reverb G2, which apparently also uses Realtek, is probably a dreaded topic at the moment. I currently have an open ticket with HP for a replacement cable, (in the queue for a piece of eternal string, yes, I know) ... BUT, this is the story and an explanation as to why I've posted this here.

So I get this new headset, go through all the same issues almost everyone else has had, can't get it connected to begin with, experiencing various errors in WMR, then HP send me a USB hub, that works for 2 days, but I can't get any sound through the headset. So I follow the thread trail and go about trying to connect it in different USB ports with no joy. I then figure I'll roll back to the basic Realtek driver to see if that makes a difference,, (after removing SS3 and all the jazz, because I've become fairly efficient at the removal and clean reinstall process, thanks to this thread and SS3 crashing after any new sound device is added). But after that the Reverb HMD just dies altogether. No connection to WMR at all, (hence the ticket for a new cable because now I'm being notified of a USB not recognised error in Windows 10, rather than just the limited connection issues I had before).

This was all at the weekend just gone, then I got to thinking today, are third-party audio drivers compatible with that device anyway? Or would they supersede the anticipated drivers in the same way that I think they do with the innate drivers that Windows installs at installation? It would be helpful to know, because it'll be one of the things I can tick off the list when the new cable (eventually) arrives, and it'll help me decide which audio drivers I should install, and whether getting audio directly from the device is just something that can't be done at the moment (I'm new to this by the way, as you can probably tell by my long rambling way of explaining things).

Apparently there is known USB compatibility issue with x570 MBs and the HP Reverb, (and no, I didn't find that out until spending the cash). But if that's the case, should I just scrap trying to use the sound from the onboard headset and stick with these drivers? Or go the other way and scrap the MB's SS3 / SR3 / DTS and use the official drivers? ... (Or should I do what I actually want to do and take the fecking chunk of annoying expensive materials outside, then have 5 minutes of total carnage before moving to live in a tree house for the rest of forever in deep regret ... that last bit was rhetorical by the way)!

Any thoughts or guidance on this issue from anyone would be very welcome! Thank you. I am also prepared for responses that tell me that I have a fundamental misunderstanding of these devices and their associated software, because I can also be a bit thick, I'm not a developer, or a tech specialist, just someone that likes to shoot virtual things and generally. fumble around with technology that far exceeds my own capabilities! 🙂

I have a Asus ROG Strix z590a wifi board. I installed the Realtek audio drivers for the board. I cannot use a 3.5mm in front panel nor back panel. I dont even see a line in or line out in sound settings in windows. All my usb headphones work fine. Am I missing something? Should I be installing something else. I do see the realtek hd audio driver installed in add remove programs list.

If none of this works then that is because there is no Realtek driver for it. The driver from the support page only shows the USB driver. Get ahold of customer support and ask them why that is.

Ok. So I have removed the High Definition Audio Device which is the only one in the device manager that is generic that doesnt say nvidia etc. Also, could the nvidia audio drivers cause a issue or conflict? Anyway, I have removed the usb driver or uninstalled it from control panel, I will attach pic. After removing that, I uninstalled sonic studio and radar along with realtek audio console (apps). Realtek audio console wont connect to the rpc service because there is NO UAD driver is what im reading and being told.

I then cleaned everything out with driver explorer. rebooted, installed the package you gave me and I have tried the asus website package which Im attaching a pic of. I have even tried the other package Mokichi posted on the other thread for this motherboard.

To be clear, the audio of the motherboard is working. I use a corsair headset for gaming anyway. I have a corsair ST100 headset holder plugged into the motherboard via usb, then my void pro headset plugs into the holder via usb. So the usb audio has worked out of the box. Of course that could just be standard usb working period.

Ill attach a pic of the ONLY playback devices I am forced to use or that are options. One is my headset, the other is the headset stand, the other is my samsung g7 faker. I have also been asked if my device was enabled in the bios. I have looked and the only thing to enable or disable as far as audio in the bios is the usb audio. Not sure if I disable the usb audio, would I get the front panel HD audio option or the rear panel.

I should have the option of a Realtek high defintion audio device in game controllers in device manager, and I should have something with realtek on it in the bottom right of windows under sounds. I should also see in the control panel of windows a realtek audio console or speakers etc to choose. Sonic radar nor studio wont load and gives me a error because it doesnt see a driver to use. that has been problem since day one. Like you said, is the UAD driver actually packaged or only the USB driver? but I have used your download you just gave me and the one from here:https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?118522-DRIVERS-Realtek-USB-Audio-(MB-Intel-5xx-amp-AMD-TRX...

the drivers you have me did install, but still nothing. PICS:
