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,

Thank you very much for your help, for more than a week of investigation and attempts, since I switched from ROG B360 to TUF B660, I've been struggling with the subwoofer not working on RCA 5.1 when stereo is the sound source problem e.g Youtube (in Windows 10 - Bass management missing with mobo driver), any UAD driver and Realtel Audio Control installation (DTS Unbound EQ settings) did not solve the issue, the W10 basic driver bass management was not satisfactory (took the center speaker volume down and raised the bass), but with HDA (Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers (HDA - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME DTS&RTK)) driver it works like it was before, I finally got the enjoyable bass back. :cool:

Hi,

- You are in the wrong thread.
- You don't have an SS3 motherboard.
- Please speak English (if everyone speaks their native/national language, it will quickly become a mess).

You have an ASUS ROG Realtek motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx).

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.
