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).

Great! I will try these today, been having all kinds of issues since the change with the change from SS3 (legacy) to SS (current) I build systems and use these drivers as we like to provide the latest drivers, hopefully these will be good now, we usually don't install ASUS Armoury Crate, but the end user can install it if they would like, and most opt out, we feel its really bloated and a system recourse hog, I've personally only used SS3 app a little, seemed to be ok, but now that its integrated into ASUS Armoury Crate I will probably never use it personally. I will report any problems I find back here..

Again thanks @MoKiChU for all your hard work, myself and the community really appreciate it!! If there is anything I can help with in the future let me know!!

thanks boss.  I am very happy as it is. ( Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS) ) work great aside what i put. all works perfect. In fact i am very happy that i am using the drivers for the first time in years. no more downs or crash. Just  PERFECT .... thanks so much. I will continue as it is and futures upgrades when they are available. i will check later why windows make the extra effect.  if you need to me to test something or a hand let me know always welcome cheers

So the newest drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS) are back to the mic issue, audio output is now fine, but the mic volume and mic boost do not work, +0, +10, +20, +30db does nothing, and the mic volume slider does nothing also, from 1-100 is the same volume, setting to 0 basically mutes the mic, no changes in volume from 1-100, its the same gain across the entire slider...back to the legacy drivers, now everything seems to be working fine...

Hi, can you report this in ROG Care for attention of service?

Having the same issue as @Scrow with the mic again, but I found a solution that works. It also doesn't require any mic boost or software to work 🤣. Please see the image below. Magic

Hi Mokichu,

Sorry to keep troubling you like this, but which drivers do I need for my ASUS Z-790E WiFi?

[MoKiChU]

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS) or Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS Legacy) 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.

It's quite a bit sad that now instead of realtekservice.inf ver. 1.0.660.0 and realtekhsa.inf ver. 11.0.6000.311, the current driver package uses the older versions - 1.0.636.0 and 11.0.6000.304 respectively.

It would be nice to have an option to use really the latest versions available for all the components, including realtekservice.inf and realtekhsa.inf.

Does anybody know the way to do that, e.g. where and how to find the latest versions of those components and how to make them work with MoKiChU's audio drivers?

[MrAgapiGC]

ok I think got a solution that i post a week ago.

That even with no effect apply windows does create effect. After some digging. i find a fix at least with my case and board. and i test it. since once i disable the exclusive and signal on control panel realtek driver and effect kick in perfect. 

UPDATE: not permanent. I am testin also something else. Same menu on control panel. Disable exclusive mode both and restart. Is not the driver the driver is fine. Is windows. let me see how i can get this to ms to check and make this persistent . when X factors like realtek audio is present. let see sadly i do not have direct link to them since you need more than a test

Check if works since WINDOWS  especialy 11, does have it own system. If after works you all great.

To go control panel, then sound. and open speakers  go to speaker properties and levels and disable EXTRA signal and apply and restart. 

Once that is done. ONLY boss drivers will do the eq and effect and the extra effect has gone for me. I only use boss drivers for my z690 apex. 

I did know windows 11 improve audio with not control over aside effect on \ off. try if works for all. NOTE: i can not test this on Z790 V2 (wifi7) boards. I will try other USB asud products during the day since this goes to it own drivers set for armory crate usb asus products.

for now is not the driver i will make it work eventually thanks boss i am very happy to see and use this for the first time in years. was incredible was the ss3 the problem .
