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).

Hello Mokichu, Thank you for your ongoing updates for our audio drivers, I have been out for about two weeks and the last version I installed was 6.0.9264.1 and I now see that there is a change in the way drivers are delivered.

I do have a ROG Strix Z370-G WIFI Motherboard and I used to use ROG SS3 drivers, in the new setup, do I use Gen1 or Gen2 for ROG SS3? Also, I used to only UPDATE and never clean install, do I now have to do a cleanup first or could I just continue to update? I saw your explanation above about switching from Gen1 to Gen2, would the old drivers considered Gen1?

Thank you.

Hey MoKiChU,

I got a Z490 Maximus Hero XII (WiFi) and installed the newest drivers (Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) ver. 6.0.9272.1 but I think that it doesn't installed properly. In device manager under Software components there is no DTS driver only A-Volute Nh3 and the other Realtek stuff. So many things don't seem to work like the Equalizer in the Sonic Studio 3 App. Forgot to mention, I installed it through the Gen2 BAT-File, maybe my Z490 is only Gen1 compatible ?

Thank for your work MoKiChU 🙂
