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).

Hello,

I have an ASUS TUF Gaming A15 Laptop FA506IV. I've been having a problem where my microphone volume is extremely low when I plug in earbuds, and was directed to this forum by someone else to try and fix it. Could you please point me in the direction of the right driver/instructions I need to follow to try to fix it? Thank you so much!

Hi,

I don't offer audio drivers packages for notebooks/laptops in order to focus on my field : DIY PC/Motherboards (hence the fact that my threads are in Motherboards category).

Please refer to your product support page to download the appropriate drivers for your product (if you have any issue with them, please contact ASUS Support).

Hi,

You are not comparing the same drivers.

You're in the wrong thread for your motherboard, here is the correct thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 5xx/6xx/TRX40).

Hello MoKiChU!

I have got ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard. I guess this board have got both SS3 (Sonic Studio 3, right?) and DTS Sound Unbound. I can see it in Dark Hero Manual in specifications - section "software features":

1. Sonic Studio III;

2. Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer;

3. Sonic Radar III;

4. DTS Sound Unbound.

But after i downloaded and installed (tested) both packs (on Windows 11 Pro 22H2 fresh install):

1. Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3);

2. Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS);

Both have got problems with Realtek Audio Console - Error message "Can not connect to RPC service". I saw little tutorial from you to fix it, but didn't tested it yet.

At the same time, i have no such problem with ASUS Driver (except it's v6.0.9359.1 and old). It's a bit weird to install (to many installers), but it's working. No error messages at all.

P.S. Thanks for all this nice packs!
