OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx 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).

So I wanted to follow up after my failed attempt at upgrading the drivers on my Crosshair Hero VIII Hero Wi-Fi (AMD x570) utilizing the [incorrect] ASUS ROG SS3 driver package. As was pointed out to me by monteverdi and confirmed by MoKiChU, I should have used the ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound package instead.

As such, I downloaded the correct file and attempted to proceed with the "Cleanup" process outlined for ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards. Unfortunately, it seems that my previous attempt has resulted in corruption to the "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" reference in the Control Panel/Registry. Upon attempting to uninstall the drivers, I receive an error that does not allow the process to proceed.

I've included a screenshot of the relevant registry entry below:

Any suggestions as to how to go about removing this gracefully? I want to say that downloading a new driver package from Realtek and attempting to install that will prompt me to uninstall the current version first, though I'm not particularly confident that will affect the desired outcome.

Thanks much!

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard, so :

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

- 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
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process.

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.

Thank you very much for the information. The settings have indeed helped, and tis' always nice to learn more about the deeper workings of this technology.. Turning on MSI mode gave more hours before it started falling out of sync again.. several additional hours. My video has yet to start hiccuping and crashing again, but the gap is again more noticable, so I am giving it more time. I also meant to mention The video driver version is GeForce v465.89 WHQL drivers.. and the Crosshair Hero VIII Non-WiFi motherboard BIOS is 3402.

I changed these three settings in the MSI Mode tool

High Definition Audio Controller IRQ 35 --Interrupt Priority - Undefined
High Definition Audio Controller IRQ 55 --Interrupt Priority - Undefined
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB IRQ 43 --Interrupt Priority - Undefined

the Interrupt priority is as it was before checking the box for MSI Mode. Here is a snapshot of the output.

What else might we try to fix this issue?

And BTW.. the motherboard BIOS is at optimised defaults, no overclocking. The new Ryzen BIOS has changed everything so much I want classes... heh.... before attempting to tweak it..

Namaste...

Qi.

Addendum: Almost 3 hours after rising from rest and resuming my videos... The latency seems to bounce a bit. lag in AV Sync appearing and vanishing, It is better, but the light popping remains.

Hi,

If this has not fixed your issue, the root cause is elsewhere, so :

- Update your BIOS to the last 3501 with AGESA 1.2.0.2 : https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_CROSSHAIR_VIII_HERO/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VIII-HERO-ASUS...
- Update your others drivers. You need these drivers for your ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard :

- AMD Chipset Drivers

[DRIVERS] Intel Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

- Intel Ethernet Drivers (Drivers Only) :

Drivers - I21x-AT (1.0GbE)

[DRIVERS] Realtek Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth

hi ,

thnx for these drivers, 5.1 ist working again.

but:

Is it possible that with these drivers the volume control with the keyboard does not work anymore?

Thank you for your help

Hi,

No I don't think it's related, it is between your keyboard and Windows that it interacts. Uninstall & reinstall Corsair iCUE.

I wanted to let you all know that I have, and how I managed to get the problem cleared..

First of all, after much cleaning, and an update to beta bios firmware ( never used beta firmware, and notes this is a general no-no ) and even more fiddling around, I finally fixed the AV Sync and the popping and crackling issue. The drivers and BIOS update helped marginally, but was not effective.

The regular sound drivers for this board, as prescribed above, just didn't work and also did not have any real enhancements so I opted to give the AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_MB_v6.0.9137.1 version a try and also added the Sonic apps.. After much fiddling, it finally has remained working. I also used the MSI Mode Tool to set the other devices to MSI mode and still had issues, so I finally tried setting the video card priority to high in the MSI Mode Tool and POOF!!! Problem gone... I also make note that after updating my video drivers the MSI Mode settings for the video card reset so I found the exact key, after reapplying my settings, and exported it for later updates so I can just import and be done with it.. So far, several days later?? no problems what so ever..

The registry location for such devices can be found at this location in regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI

You will be looking for the folders in your particular device under Device Parameters>Interrupt Management and then locating the Affinity Policy and the MessageSignaledInterruptProperties folders.. Both settings are 32bit DWORDS.. I exported from the Interrupt Management folder and just removed what was unnecessary.. The way to find which key it is is to check in the device manager for the "Hardware ID" of the device in question. These codes are different from computer to computer and device to device. Compare the listing in the MSI Mode Tool's listing of Instance ID to verify you have the correct device. This information in the device manager can be found with either a double click or a right click and properties of your selected device. Go to the Details Tab and look for either Device Instance Path or Hardware ID.. Both will have the codes in question. This will lead you to the correct key in your registry. The listing below is just an example of what to keep in the registry patch file.

Here is the export below after cleaning::

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1C03&SUBSYS_37771458&REV_A1\4&2ae1b128&0&0019\Device Parameters\Interrupt Management]


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1C03&SUBSYS_37771458&REV_A1\4&2ae1b128&0&0019\Device Parameters\Interrupt Management\Affinity Policy]
"DevicePriority"=dword:00000003


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1C03&SUBSYS_37771458&REV_A1\4&2ae1b128&0&0019\Device Parameters\Interrupt Management\MessageSignaledInterruptProperties]
"MSISupported"=dword:00000001

Save your file as a .REG file for easy importing and whatever name you prefer. These files may be edited with any standard text editor like notepad. Simply Right Click and Edit.

Once again? I just keep this as an exported reg file because I noticed the computer unchecks my selections in the MSI Mode Tool during a driver update for the video card.. Hope this helps everyone..

Namaste...

Qi.

Hey MoKiChU, you remind me DanielK with Creative drivers years ago... Nice work!
I`m on a ROG STRIX Z390-F GAMING, i`ve installed Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB), after rebooting i opened the device manager e noticed that it misses SS3|SSVM VAD Media Driver. Did I do something wrong?
I`ve solved the problem already, downloaded UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB, copy/paste OEM_INF_Media_-_ASUS, edited install.bat and it's done.
I think you just might be aware.

Hi,

SSVM is optional with the SS3 motherboards drivers packages (not built-in, only built-in with SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards drivers packages).

Here is the optional package (Launch "Install.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > Automatic restart when install is done) :

SSVM Installer : Link

Note : If you later want to uninstall Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer, you will have to follow your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process.

Also do your drivers install SS3 to change sounds etc?

I have installed as instructions but just wondering what does dtsApo4Service do? I think it has something to do with DTS? I dont have any DTS equipment can it be removed or not installed?

Hi,

It is the DTS APO4x Service SoftwareComponent Driver which works in tandem with DTS APO4x Core SoftwareComponent|SoftwareDevice Driver and both are used in your drivers type because they nested with your other Realtek & A-Volute/SS3 APO & other audio drivers (like Realtek APO & A-Volute SS3 APO).

In addition, DTS Sound Unbound (built-in with your motherboard) does not necessarily require DTS equipment, all depends the feature you are using.

If you don't need a feature, uninstall the corresponding app and that's it. Do not try to remove/don't install any drivers from your drivers package under pretext that you do not use the corresponding feature/app (or at least do it if you want but i wouldn't provide any support).
