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).

I have systems with five different Asus boards, I am interested for drivers for ROG STRIX Z370-G Gaming, TUF Z390M-PRO GAMING, and ROG STRIX Z490-G GAMING. I understand they all have the S1220A.

I also have Maximus X and Maximus XI systems, but they are using dedicated sound cards with Realtek disabled.

Also, if you could explain how I should determine which drivers I need from your post.

Thank you, I think I get it now, the stuff like DTS Unbound is actually in the Asus software descriptions for the motherboards.

I followed your instructions for installing the Realtek drivers for my XII Apex, but I can't install the Realtek Audio Control from the Microsoft Store, and others are reporting on the same problem. I Googled it and found this :

"DCH drivers must be installed by the installer in order to have the optional software components installed. No Realtek Software Components means you cannot download the Realtek Audio Console from the Microsoft Store."

The driver installed perfectly per your instructions, but as I said, Realtek Audio Control will not install.

Thank you as always!!

Quick question: as only a single component of the driver has been updated, you kept the same package name, right? Because I had already that pack downloaded..

In case YES, should I just go for UPDATE?

Thanks for the clarification! 🙂

Hi,

Yes and yes.
