Thanks for keeping this updated. I'm updating every time you do in hopes that the SPDIF output sporadic dropout will be fixed. Thanks!

I had a question about the audio drivers. Im using the Z790 Maximus Extreme not sure which one I need. Also if I use my own AMP/DAC do I really need them?

[Kani_malli]

Do you use sonic studio 3? Will it be there as separate app or was that inside armory crate now? As new feature inside armory crate app 

[Stefferd890]

only thing I wanna add to it that I only want the driver to be up to date. I don’t use any of the third party software softwares provided for these motherboards

Hi, I have a ROG STRIX TRX40 MB - I usually see an error "Controls the DTS audio processing object" in Reliability Monitor.

I believe I need to update the driver for that? I wonder which one from your links is right for my MB

Thanks!

Hi There,

I don't have an SS3 MB but rather a Strix Z590-A Gaming WiFi 6 with the same drivers.

I don't know if you can help but I hear a low boom sound from my base spkr when I boot & Windows is not very fast to boot. Also sound doesn't react immediately.

I installed drivers 6.3.9600. I don't have a 5 channel sound box.. All I have are 2 good spkrs. I just bought this rig for video work but I would like to have reasonable sound. From what I heard the chip does have good sound.

Thanks for the help. 🙂

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) 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.

[Zardoc]

Thanks for the quick reply,

Call me stupid but were can I see the SS3|DTS Sound Unbound reference. I will try your suggestion.Thanks
