Personally I have used [Cracked drivers]
Been very reliable and good.

I'm new here---just curious, which driver would I use for ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming Wifi? My guess is: Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) : Drivers : 6.3.9600.2311 WHQL [03/01/2022]

I currently have Version 6.3.9600.2307 installed---is there any indication what the latest one (.2311) improves upon?

thanks!

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS 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.

Also, updates your Realtek USB Audio Firmware to the last if it is not done yet (to run as admin) : https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/01AUDIO/USB_Audio_FW_Update_Tool_VID0B05_2021-11-25_ASUS.zip

Hi, sorry, I have STRIX z690-F Gaming MB with ALC4080 on board (bios 1304). The PC-case is Fractal design Meshify 2. Will try to check the wires, while i tried several 3.5mm jacks (4 and 2 - regular stereo and stero+mic), none worked from front panel while working ok from MB backpanel.
So in case wires are ok - I go for full driver-software reinstallation per your instructions?

How soon do you expect to release it? Maybe I better wait for it than manual reinstall)))

And by the way, files you post here - is it official driver versions? or beta/modded?

- Updates your Realtek USB Audio Firmware to the last (to run as admin) if not already : https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/01AUDIO/USB_Audio_FW_Update_Tool_VID0B05_2021-11-25_ASUS.zip

- Instead of following your CLEANUP process then directly your INSTALL process, follow these step :

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process
- Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process

Note : I only offer OEM original drivers, WHQL signed by Microsoft (modding is not my field).

Is this the correct driver for the x570 Crosshair VIII Hero (Wifi)? I noticed these drivers support ALC408x codec, and I don't believe this motherboard has it.

Thanks!

Thank you! the firmware update and software worked perfectly. Thanks

MoKiChU, I have a Z690 Hero & a TUF Z690-Plus WiFi D4.

I was curious what the difference is between the "Realtek USB Audio" and the "Realtek Audio" ? How do you know which one you need, is it based on the description from ASUS?

Z690 Hero Official Asus Audio Drive description:
Realtek USB Audio Driver V6.3.9600.2307 UWD For Windows 10/11 64-bit.
(So this would need the "Realtek USB Audio (MB | Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 5xx/6xx/TRX40)")?

TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 Official Asus Audio Drive description:
Realtek Audio Driver V6.0.1.9244 For Windows 10/11 64-bit.
(So this would need the "Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx)")?

Thanks.
