OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).

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).

Maybe a stupid question, but is there a reason why all of MoKiChU's driver threads can't be stickied, so they are easier to monitor? Seems to me having them at the top of the first page of the forum is a good place for them.

You my friend, are a frickin genious!!! Have had nothing but audio trouble with my x570 and logitech z906 since building this PC. Found Alan Finote driver package on techpowerup that solved my problems but it was still a headache. Then I discovered your work of wonderfullness and life is good again.

Do have an audio question for you or anyone that has a good grasp of audio for gaming. Am I better to use the 3.5mm connections to the z906 and let the PC do the work or use optical and let the 906 decode? Asking specifically for games that make use of surround and situational (positioning) sounds.

I would use the 3.5mm on the back of the motherboard and let it do the processing.

Don't use front panel jack as the quality is not the same.

Hello @mokichu,

could you tell me which drive I should use.
Before I used always the SS3 DTS Unbound driver for ROG, but it doesn´t install the REALTEK Console over the Windows Store anymore 😕
