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).

IMO having to use mic boost so anyone can hear you is a bug on it's own. You should not need to use that at all, but what can you do

[Xtracker]

50/50 my mic SS Nova 1 have low microphone out of the box.. 

[Agent-A01]

Anyone with mic issues needs to download Armoury Crate and Install the audio drivers from there unfortunately.

Specifically for the Apex Encore and any of the new ' II " versions of motherboards are required to do be updated through armoury crate. The drivers ASUS has on each motherboard's support page aren't correct for these boards. They are missing the extension drivers bongioviapomb.inf which enables functionality of the mic boost.

This may also apply for other older motherboards too but I no longer have access to one of those older boards.

[Xtracker]

X570/X670 what i heard have same mic boost problem... (AMD platform)

[ksenchy]

That's interesting, is there a way to install it manually? I want nothing to do with armory crate 😂

[dnd123]

fwiw i'm using the latest UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS drivers on an X670E Crosshair (on Win 11), after doing the full clean install (as instructed for the latest update).  works fine but the EQ settings are disabled in Realtek Audio Console.  not a huge deal for me as i don't use the EQ anyway, but i thought i'd mention it.

[FireRx]

Did you delete the old version via windows App and download the new form MS Store?  new version should be 1.50.322.0.

[dnd123]

i did everything exactly as in the instructions, no shortcuts (though not convinced all of e.g. the restarts are necessary.  but i did them anyway).

i have version 1.50.322.0.

[Michaelxv205]

Did the same for my stuff nothing worked. Having to use E-Apo + Peace which is sad for a 200$ motherboard tbh.
