After installing the latest ASUS ROG SS3-DTS drivers, I'm getting a loud pop on reboot and on Windows boot.
Since I have a "ButtKicker" connected, this is very jarring. Has anyone else experienced this?
I had pretty old drivers before (stock Windows 11 install) that did not have this issue.
Yep, same drivers, same issue. My sub is hating it lol
Hi,
The pop sound when rebooting the PC has always been, it's the amplifier cut-off. The fact that you do not have this issue with the generic Microsoft built-in audio drivers is explained by the fact that these do not manage your amplifier and therefore that one is not used.
Note : If, on the other hand, you experienced multiple pops/cracks (while listening to music or playing games for example), this is not normal. I advise you to follow the processes listed at the bottom of all my audio drivers threads, in the TIPS category.
Am I supposed to have a sound effect area under my "Speakers"? Because I don't!

I have uninstalled ss3 and dts app still realtek doesn't shows its eq.
My motherboard is rog x570-f gaming
It is by design, it's intended to work like this at least for ASUS products : If an third party app is built-in, the equalization is done via the third party app.
Also, since you have an
ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard, the configuration of the
Upmix / Surround must be done via
Sonic Studio III (
SS3) and/or
DTS Sound Unbound :
SS3 :
Sonic Studio >
Basic Mode :
Sonic Studio Effects : On
Upmix / Surround : Checked
DTS Sound Unbound :
DTS Headphone:X >
Enable DTS Headphone:X >
Configure > Click on the 3 dots (
...) and type the reference of your audio equipment :
- If you find your audio equipment select it.
- If you don't find your audio equipment :
If you use earphones : Choose the earphones icon
If you use headphone/headset : Choose the headset icon
If you use speakers : Choose the crossed headset icon
Notes :
- Do not go beyond 48000Hz 24Bits. If you go beyond 48000Hz 24Bits, DTS Sound Unbound will not work, and SS3 may generate crashes or lag spike with some apps/games.
- If you are not using headphones and you are using electrically powered speakers, the detected impedance is distorted and I recommend setting your amplifier to the lowest level (Realtek Audio Control > Playback Devices > Speakers > Amplify Level : Performance).
Also, SS3 won't open properly, despite my Mobo supporting it?

To fix SS3 TIMEOUT issue, follow this :
- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process
- Use this
SS3 Cleaner tool (Right click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process
For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.
Salut MoKiChU,
I install a lot of Prime drivers. Do you know if one of the ROG drivers can be used (if possible) for Prime boards with the ALC 897 NO DTS.
I know that the Tuf gaming boards use the same codec but with DTS which is not the case for Prime P
Thanks
Hi,
You cannot choose a drivers package type, each drivers package type is dedicated to each motherboards type.
