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).

Hi. I was hoping someone could help.

I have downloaded the drivers from the first link under, "Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB)"
I have uninstalled ALL applications related to realtek/SS3.
Rebooted, Used the driver tool to uninstall any realtek, Avolute, hdx, etc drivers (checked force deletion).
Rebooted, Installed the drivers. PC restarts. No Realtek audio control so I install it along with SS3.

I did these steps a week ago but no audio. decided to try again today and still no audio but now Realtek audio control shows "can not connect to rpc service".

If I am missing something please let me know. Thanks

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB) from the first post of this thread.

- Avoid ZoneID blocking trouble :

- For each downloaded .zip : ZoneID unblock the .zip (Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK).

or

- Disable the ZoneID blocking completely (you will no longer have to unblock each downloaded .zip) :

- Right-click Windows Start button then click Launch then type gpedit.msc > OK
- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
- Do not preserve zone information in file attachment : Enabled > OK

- Redownload Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB) from the first post of this thread.
- ZoneID unblock the .zip (Only if you have not disabled the ZoneID blocking) : Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK.
- 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).


If you still have RPC service issue :

- Press Windows key + X > Task Manager :

- Startup tab : Check that Realtek HD Audio Universal Service is Enabled.
- Services tab : Check that DcomLaunch, RpcEptMapper & RtkAudioUniversalService services running.

- Right click on your Realtek Audio Control/Console app icon > App settings > Reset
- Restart your PC.

Regarding your no sound issue after install, check that Virtual Mixer is disabled via SS3 app : Sonic Studio III > Record Studio > Virtual Mixer > Virtual Mixer : Off.


Also, check that the Enhance audio/Signal Enhancements setting is enabled (otherwise your audio effects will not work) :

Windows 11

Right click on sound icon tray > Audio settings > Click on your audio output/input devices to enter in their Properties :



Windows 10

Right click on sound icon tray > Sound > Playback/Recording tab > Click on your audio playback/recording devices > Properties > Advanced tab :

I have some issue installing/updating the driver. I'm stuck at the screen for a while and it looks like some of the components have failed to install then the computer restarts after a while.

Hi,

They have not failed to install, these messages just indicates that the driver is already present and installed (no new driver to install).

Also regarding the stuck time, it's not an issue, just be patient, DTS APO4x Extension Driver folder contains more than 6000 files in more than 200 subfolders.

Hi Mokichu,
Thank you very much for the help you provide, I do have a issue.

I am using the z690-a gaming wifi d4,BIOS VERSION 1404, thus I am using the link of SS3 DTS you provided.
After cleanup and install, I found that the Realtek audio control is not stalled automatically, I did try to manual install in MS shop but error occurred and the code is 0x803FB005.

I do unblock the bondID of the ZIP and the result remained the same.

could you please help me with this strange problem? thank you very much

Hi, MoKiChU. Just to be safe, I have a ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi),
I know that I could get the SS3+DTS driver package. But, what if I just don't want the extra crap?
Can I just download the quoted driver package and safely install it?
Will there be any problem with this? I would really only use the MoBo audio for my Edifier R1000T4.
My Moondrop Aria and Philips SHP9500 are plugged in an external USB-C DAC.

This might have been discussed elsewhere in the thread, and if so I apologize, but are these drivers more up to date than the ones downloaded from the motherboard support page?

If so, for my ROG Strix X570-I Gaming board, I would use the following drivers, correct?

Finally, I used to have just the Realtek Audio Control app installed without any of the addons (SS3, SR, DTS). Unfortunately I'm having to reinstall windows, and I can't figure out how I managed to get *only* the Realtek app with it's build in EQ tools to work, since all of the installers I can find now include the extras which make changing EQ highly annoying.

Is it possible to install just the Realtek app alone, and if so how might I go about it?

Thanks in advance, just trying to do things correctly this time since I already managed to kill one windows install with failed audio driver installs!

1) Cleanup :

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process
- Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC

2) Install :

The UAD/DCH drivers being modular, you can install your drivers by these different types of install from the most complete to the lightest :

MoKiChU wrote:
Intended to work like this by ASUS :

- Full : Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process (with or without installing SS3/DTS apps).

Not intended to work like this by ASUS (at your own risk) :

- Realtek Only : Delete the ThirdParty folder from AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x folder then follow scrupulously your INSTALL process (without installing SS3/DTS apps).

- Realtek Minimal (such as Microsoft built-in drivers, without Realtek app) : Right click on HDXASUS.inf (in AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x\Realtek\Codec_xxxx.x folder) > Install > Wait for the message "The operation completed successfully" or for restart request.

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process (with same install type).


Note if you choose the Full install type : If you want to uninstall Sonic Suite Companion once your drivers are installed, launch Sonic Suite Companion via tray icon then click Uninstall Companion.

Note if you choose the Realtek Only install type : Equalizer in Realtek Audio Control/Console will not work (present and visible but not functional) since it is based on SS3 APO (hardware) and that SS3 APO SWC Driver is not installed.

Hello MoKiChU, thank you.

This is already done: Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right-click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC

Then this is difficult for me: Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process, I don't nowhere I can find the right Sonic Studio-3 install file?

I'm not a computer expert. 😞

Thanks MoKiChU for the drivers - I had to get the correct drivers for the ROG STRIX B550-I Gaming motherboard you've informed to me in another thread.
I was doing a clean unattended Windows 10 install and I do mean a clean install and I get this pop up error as you can see the screenshot. Doing a search on the error revealed the NnNotifSys.exe is part of the Realtek audio driver you posted. I'm just wondering what might have tiggered this popup error.

Hey MoKiChU, thanks - I followed the suggestion method you provided - words for words and still getting the Application Error on the NhNotifSys.exe file during 2nd clean unattended install. Maybe something else is going on that causing Application error popup.

Hello all,

I want to share my experience troubleshooting a problem with the Nahimic service and see if anyone had encountered the same thing.

First of all my specs:

ASUS Maximus XI Hero WiFi
Windows 11 Pro x64 build 22621.232 22H2

I followed the guide to clean install the driver (even used DDU in safe mode to be sure everything was cleaned fine), I installed version 6.0.9360.1 SS3 without any issue, every component was recognized so nothing to complain. Rebooted the system and checked the audio, all ok! Even Realtek Audio Console self installed.

I continued to use my computer as usual, but I noticed when using WinRAR or Google Chrome/Opera GX, even Windows Task Manager, these applications were slow in opening, so after some testing etc. I found out NahimicService.exe was the culprit. I let the video speak by itself:

https://streamable.com/kntpe1

Obviously i updated to the latest version (6.0.9374.1) posted yesterday and nothing has changed, so my question is if anyone has having the same behaviour or not, maybe it's the unsupported Windows 11 version that cause the issue, who knows....

PS: Sonic Studio 3 is a garbage software, crashing in advanced mode everytime.
