Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG motherboards with Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets with ALC40xx codec.

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).

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.

The difference between the audio drivers from this thread and from the other thread that you linked is the internal audio interface used. ASUS motherboards will use the USB internal audio interface for mainly 2 scenarios :

- Go beyond the limitations of the traditional audio interface (which supports up to 32-Bit/192kHz) and in order to be able to use ALC408x codec to supports up to 32-Bit/384 kHz.
- By motherboard chipset limitation in the case of AMD TRX40-based motherboards which does not allow the use of the traditional audio interface.​

Also, if you wonder how to determine which audio drivers does a motherboard need, please refer to this post : https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/downloads-for-motherboards/drivers-realtek-usb-audio-amd-5xx-6xx-trx40....

Thanks for the clarification. I installed the driver from their support page of the motherboard but it was giving issue. 

Thankfully, followed your instruction in OP and installed it 2 weeks ago and everything seems to work, specially with the app.

I guess for update I just overwrite new zip file (new version) and run install, no need to remove or clean again.

Hi MoKiChU,

I am using the ROG CROSSHAIR VIII EXTREME, so which driver I should use?
Since I got some issue with my sound issue

Thanks.

I seem to be missing the option in the Realtek Audio Console to separate the front and back mic input as 2 sperate inputs (Separate all input jacks as independent input devices)  I did have it and now its missing, already tried to remove and reinstall driver, as well as properly uninstalling and checking if anything was leftover using Driver Store Explorer...no luck.

Same as you with my b760-f strix... 

On my CM audio output on rear and on front panel headphone at the same time when I select "Headephones" 

That's pretty annoying...

Sir, 

Which Driver is the best for my Z 790 ME.  I'm currently on  2333, and it drops out after a while.
