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,

You have an ASUS TUF DTS Custom motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS Custom MB) 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.

Hello, is there any driver or something to amplify the sound of the SPDIF optical output of my Asus Tuf Gaming Z690 D4 board? I use the application Equaliser Apo and a little if that amplify but it is insufficient. In my previous board (a Z370-E Gaming and some modified drivers from Techpowerup website, these in particular https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/unlocked-realtek-hd-audio-drivers-for-windows-10-dolby-di... post #206), it was much louder, much more forceful and without distortion.

Is there any way to get that under this Z690 board and Windows 11? Thanks.

Thank you. I followed all the steps and it installed but the DTS doesn't seem to work, here is a screenshot



. Although I don't really need the DTS for anything, my Home-cinema has native scaler to transform the stereo into 5.1 (in stereo movies or Music), in movies with the native DTS/Dolby Digital it is already automatically recognized by the Homecinema itself. I just want the SPDIF to sound amplified, I want the sound to be louder than with the conventional drivers from the asus website:

https://www.asus.com/es/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-GAMING-Z690-PLUS-D4/Help...

I assume those are HDA, how do I know if amplification is enabled, or is DTS required for some reason to be working? Thanks.

Hi,

The amplification is only for your 3.5mm jack outputs, not for your SPDIF/Optical output. Also, DTS Audio Processing is dedicated to your 3.5mm jack outputs.

Thank you. And any way to amplify also the sound by SPDIF? maybe some driver mod? I just can't find a way, I look at Techpowerup forums and I don't see a way either (I say that forum because that's where I got those drivers that amplified the SPDIF output on my previous Z370 E Gaming. Thank you
