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, been installing all your updated drivers throughout this forum for a long, long time. You are awesome and very appreciated. A couple questions I've always wondered:
1) I have a z390 STRIX today. If I replaced this one day w/a new Asus z590 or future z690 motherboard w/Realtek chip but did NOT ever install the official Asus Realtek drivers from Asus downloads page, then could just come directly here and install latest Realtek from you w/o needing to do the critical clean up first step? IOW, it's installing the Asus-provided drivers that creates the bind b/t Asus mb and the official Asus Realtek drivers that has to be broken with the Cleanup steps you list. True or false?

2) Are these Realtek drivers specific to Asus motherboard or would they work for any mb that fits the Realtek features ({DTS,unbound, etc) ?
Thanks,
Steve

I have a ROG B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi), which one is the best for me, and when I run the Driver Store Explorer, it doesn't find any of those drivers that should be forced to uninstall, do I need to restart yet?
Also, I'm here because my driver (from my MoBo support webpage) is making my headphones (Philips SHP9500) crackling AF on the right side, but it doesn't seems to occur with my speakers (Edifier R1000T4), do you think that drivers could be the culprit? It was just fine before the drivers suddenly colapse, yesterday. I use voicemeeter to manage everything (separate R1000T4 from SHP9500.

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).

Thanks so much for this! I'm a bit of a newbie. I have TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS (WI-FI). Which ones should I download? The ones on the support page are a bit outdated. Thanks!

Hello everyone, can someone help me?
wanted to reinstall my audio drivers , I try to install the Realtek Audio Control App and get an error message (Code: 0x80073CF1) in the store.
I have already reset the store, but I always get this error message.
Carefully executed the cleanup progress, but the app cannot be installed. with the ss3 app the installation went without any problems.

you do a great job MoKiChU, keep it up
You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :
You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 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.
