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 ALC40xx).
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC40xx).
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).

MoKiChU,
I have a similar question, I've got a Strix x570-e which driver package would I need?

It really works normal with Groove Music, will I have to abandon Windows Media Player or SS3, is there any way to fix it? Thank you.
Checking here also doesn't work with the latest version of VLC v3.0.11, only Groove Music works correctly.
I'm doing some tests, I think it's related to Microsoft Edge Chromium, I'll test more often and try to reach a more effective conclusion.

I still use the old WMP in Windows 10 and have never had any issue w/any of these newer Realtek drivers packaged up by MokiChu. If you have extra time, try following scrupulously the uninstall/cleanup process then installing the drivers for your mb from Asus web site. Would be interesting to see if no problem w/those old drivers.
But then you'll have to follow scrupulously the cleanup process again, in order to install the latest drivers here. However, at this point you're an expert in the uninstall/cleanup process, lol.

Hi,
The perception of optimal listening experience of sound is different according to tastes and people. So it's up to you to choose what suits you best :
- SS3 installed & SS3 effect enabled (EQ via SS3)
- SS3 installed but SS3 effect disabled (EQ via SS3)
- SS3 uninstalled (EQ via Realtek Audio Control/Console)

Shouldn't be realtek EQ better for "natural" sound? They manufacture sound card. What i mean is i don't want artificial effects, especially if i sometimes work on audio production.

Yes, the last case (SS3 uninstalled (EQ via Realtek Audio Control/Console)) should be fine for what you want.
