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).

I’m new with cmd do I just copy paste the location of the setup.exe file from the Realtek driver?

No, legacy installer (with Setup.exe) hasn't been used in my drivers packages since the change of the install mode (from legacy installer (with Setup.exe) install mode to drivers only (with Install.cmd) install mode) that I did a long time ago, as is the case for all the others drivers that I offer.

Those who have been following me for a long time know that I have always tried to offer the most refined drivers and the most integrated in the system (Drivers Only) when the number of .inf to install manually is not excessive. The .cmds used here for the install/update of Realtek Audio Drivers is a continuation of this Drivers Only logic (the .cmds use Microsoft PNPUtil (which is included natively in every Windows system files) and contain only a check of the admin right then an automation of the equivalent of a right click then Install on each necessary .inf, in the necessary order, according to the case then an auto restart).

So :

- If you want uninstall your Realtek Audio Drivers : Follow your CLEANUP process.
- If you want make a clean install or install your Realtek Audio Drivers for the first time : Follow your CLEANUP process then follow your INSTALL process.
- If you want update your Realtek Audio Drivers (after a clean install or first time install from here) : Follow your UPDATE process then once it's done, you can use Driver Store Explorer to remove the old drivers (Click on the Select Old Drivers button > Check the box Force Deletion then click on the Delete Driver button > Restart your PC).

Note : I recommend decompress the .zip file that I offer with 7-Zip : Right click on the .zip file > 7-Zip > Extract Here.

Sorry for the stupid question, how do I know what kind of motherboard mine (Rog Strix Z490-A Gaming) is in this sense? I am having a problem with recording Zoom (or Teams) lectures (the sound appears with some sort of boom echo that is not present on my other device - cheap HP laptop - and appears only in recordings, not in live stream) and tried to uninstall and reinstall all audio drivers, but the official Asus package does not seem to be installing (Asus setup does not work on my machine and I don't know why), so now I have lost all sound. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

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 then your INSTALL process, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.

thank you for the clarification! not sure why i was getting wierd numerics through my phone typing i apologize. i will get this downloaded when i get home.
-do i have to have to use 7zip?
-for the future just to clarify what you said, when you post an update i will update it then go back with driver store explorer to delete old driver (the one im dowloading today 6.0.9231.1 WHQL [31/08/2021]) or do the cleanup process first?

As explained previously, I recommended it to avoid ZoneID blocking trouble, but it is not an imperative, you can even use the Windows Explorer built-in decompression tool.

But if you don't use 7-Zip context menu to extract your .zip, you will have to :

- For each downloaded .zip : ZoneID unblock the .zip (Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK).

or

- Disable the ZoneID blocking completely (you will no longer have to unblock each downloaded .zip, whatever the decompression tool you use :

- Right-click Windows Start button then click Launch then type gpedit.msc > OK
- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
- Do not preserve zone information in file attachment : Enabled > OK

Correct. You will have to follow the UPDATE process then, optionally, delete old drivers via Driver Store Explorer.

No, the CLEANUP process is only necessary during the first install (in order to start on a healthy basis), or if you have an issue.
