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 MoKiChu,

I have a Z690-A gaming wifi D4 motherboard, I just want to ask which audio driver should I install? Because I see there are Realtek USB Audio and Realtek Audio, or should I install both of them, if so which version should I install?

Thank you.

Hello, is there a big problem with the Realtek USB Sound Card Drivers since the last year not yet solved?, I have some freezes and before the freeze and the PC totally blocked that I have to do a hard shutdown or restart with the case buttons, I hear some crisps and squeaks sounds, and since December too, with a Rog Z690i Wifi, when I play in the properties the test sound in DTS and Dolby only sound the two or three first tones and then crash with squeaks and the test stop.

Really thanks for the help, but I tested yesterday these drivers and it was the same.

Can the people with a z690 with these USB soundcards play the Dolby and DTS test without failing?
