OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG motherboards with Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets with ALC408x codec.
Hardware requirements (AMD - AM4/AM5) : ASUS ROG motherboards with AMD 5xx/6xx series chipsets with ALC408x codec.
Hardware requirements (AMD - sTRX4) : ASUS ROG/PRIME motherboards with AMD TRX40 chipset.

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).

the only method to have DTS and dolby Digital on the receiver is to buy a dedicated sound card, this integrated one is of very bad if not poor quality. evidently they spared savings to assemble the apex, Realtek had to avoid chips like the 4080 r improve the 1220

scyto - MokiChU helped me out with the Realtek drivers package previously after I had tried several times without success. He suggested that after all of the cleanup steps I should run update.cmd (as admin) instead of install.cmd. That worked for me and the Realtek audio console and SS3 then worked correctly. Not sure if this will help you, but it worked great for me.

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.

I am using a usb 2.0 Komplete audio 6 but somehow the latency is still high The motherboard i have is z690-f what drivers should i install? also do i just go with asio? or a stripped down version since i dont need all the dts unbound and all those apps.Just a stable audio driver that doesnt spike for music production Thanks for the help

Note : Be aware that when the Sonic Studio III effects and/or DTS Sound Unbound effects are enabled, ASIO cannot work, you must disable the Sonic Studio III effects and/or DTS Sound Unbound effects (or uninstall the Sonic Studio III and/or DTS Sound Unbound apps) in order to be able to use ASIO (ASIO having low level access to the audio kernel provide low latency, but it have its own limitations).
