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).

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. i have an asus prime z370-a motherboard. I currently have hda drivers and can set the sound in dts interactive (dts connect). Which uad driver will help me to continue using dts interactive? or does that option only appear in hda drivers?

I have no problems with uninstallation and cleaning, I always used MoKiChU drivers and I never had any problems, but after upgrading to 2004 and even with 1909 and recent drivers I started having these problems, I suspect the reason for the crash is the outdated SS3 or incompatible with WMP, MPCHC and Microsoft Edge Chromium, for some reason when the browser is open when I open SS3 only the browser appears in the list of applications and crashes, today at this moment I just did it for 3x in 4x the application shows me the same error that appears in the image I posted. I will post further, I will stop using Microsoft Edge Chromium for a few days to check this possibility.

Do i need sonic studio 3 for optimal listening experience? I want natural sound, they way it should be played.


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)

All i get is a flash of the dos box.


Hi,

This phenomenon occurs when :

- the .cmd is started from a location with limited rights. In this case, move the drivers package folder to another location (Desktop, Downloads folder, etc.) and relaunch the .cmd.
- the drivers package folder is named ending with " (1)" because a drivers package folder named with the same version was already present. In this case, delete the folder that was existing and rename the new one by removing "(1)" from the folder name and relaunch the .cmd.

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.

I have EQ only in digital output section, but not in speakers, it is normal?

If you still have third party apps installed, yes this is normal as explained above.

If you want to have the EQ on Realtek Audio Control/Console, you must uninstall the third party apps (if you have an SS3 motherboard, you must uninstall Sonic Studio III and Sonic Radar III, if you have an SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard, you must uninstall Sonic Studio III, Sonic Radar III and DTS Sound Unbound).
