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).

Works great for me! Many thanks for providing these.

I see DTS DtsApo4Service.exe 1.5.3.0 Application app crashes in my reliability history but they don't appear to affect anything. Wondering if it is when I shut frown, which I have been doing a lot.

Had no issue enabling two audio streams simultaneously on 6.0.9030.1 (though I haven't used that). Never had any BSOD on any versions.

Hi Mokichu,

I have an Asus ROG Maximus XI Apex and my question is which driver I have to choose to use SS3?
I`m on the latest Win10 Update, done a clean install and at the Moment the generic driver from Windows 10 is installed.

Could you please assist if you have a little bit of time?

Many thanks in advance.

Daniel

Hi,

Apex motherboards are not ASUS ROG SS3 motherboards and do not have SS3, they are AIMed for overclock enthusiasts.

You have an ASUS ROG Realtek motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF RTK MB) 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.

Im good to go with the latest update, thanks MoKiChU

Good job MoKiChU,

keep the updates coming and never let yourself be influenced by negative comments.

Been using your updates for quite some time and they are always on point.

You couldn't be more correct!!! The community does really appreciate your efforts much more than we could ever show, but if more positive feedback is what you'd like, I'll personally be sure to comment anytime I use your driver package with not just any issues, but letting you know all is good!! Totally understand where you are coming from, but believe me the community really does love what you are doing, even though it may not show! Most of us know it takes time away from friends and family, but the amount you time you have saved all that have had problems with old drivers causing issues (cause the manufacturer does not update them often or at all for that matter) and your drivers have fixed issues, far outweighs the negative comments here and there!

Thank you! Really Thank You Very Much MoKiChU!!!

Hi MoKiChU,

Hope you're well.

Version 6.0.9030.1 working great for Z390-F, I haven't encountered any issues at this stage.

Appreciate your updates as always!

Thanks.

The Realtek Audio Console from the MS store will not run. I am getting the error "Can not connect to RPC service". I have been through all 46 pages here and can only find one reference to it on page 18. But nothing there helps. I have followed the clean and install directions here very carefully and all seems to install fine with no errors. I can see the 6.0.9030.1 driver and everything else works fine. I just don't have a Realtek console to control stuff - bass, speaker distance, etc. I'm on a clean install of Windows 10 2004. I did try other drivers multiple times before I discovered this thread. I was looking for the Realtek console and it would never appear. I have cleaned thoroughly with both Rapr.exe and DDU.

Prime Deluxe II. 10940X. VROC and Quadro 5000 RTX. Any suggestions?

Edit: After searching and trying to fix this for a week - Enable "Realtek HD Audio Universal Service" on Startup tab via Task Manager. 😞

OK ! Thanks for my msg reply.

It's a miracle...... Realtek have updated the audio drivers few days ago to Version 6.0.1.8960

I think MoKiChu needs to take an audio driver vacation. Let the poor guy have a life!
