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).

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :

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.

Thanks, I'll wait for an answer.

And is there a difference how to remove the old one via DDU or via CLEANUP? Thank you.

I am just asking about the name change, tio confirm this
earlier, it used to be 'ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS AP MB' in the OPnow from the latest version 9376, am seeing 'ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS AP', here the MB is missing, hence asked for clarification.

My answer was intended to clear up any doubts about which audio drivers package to use with your motherboard.

In order to satisfy your curiosity about why this naming change, here is a more complete answer :

Historically I only offered the audio drivers packages for motherboards (since everything that I offered was AIMed for motherboards) which did not contain MB at the end of their naming, the MB ending was put in place when I offered the audio drivers packages for notebooks/laptops (NB) in order to distinguish them. Since I no longer offer audio drivers packages for notebooks/laptops (in order to focus on my original field : DIY/Motherboards), the naming of the audio drivers packages for motherboards has returned to the original (without MB at the end of their naming).

Hi,

There is no problem, this just means that the Realtek Extension drivers has not been updated for this release.
