Hi everyone,

I remind you that I do not work for ASUS (everything I do for the ASUS ROG community is out of passion, on a voluntary basis) and I do not replace ASUS Support :

- If you have an issue that occurring with the last audio drivers from your motherboard support page (and therefore that it is not specific to the last audio drivers that I offer) : Contact ASUS Support.​
- If you have an issue that didn't occurring with the last audio drivers from your motherboard support page : CLEANUP process then install/use the last audio drivers package from your motherboard support page.​

hi I have now Rog Crosshair hero x670. I did followed the clean-up process thoroughly and was able to install it but sonic apps say the driver are not installed properly or unsupported. When I had Strix x670 motherboard ,it used to install without problem. ( and yes I installed Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS) ). If I checked the drivers in driverexplorer, everything seems to be installed but what do u think is gone wrong with sonics apps?

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC40xx codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) 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.

Hi MoKiChU

I have a ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO motherboard, but I would like to know which drivers you recommend Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS-DTS) or Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS Legacy) and what are the advantages of one and the other.

Thanks,

Best regards, Matej

Thanks Mokichu for your work. You can tell me the audio driver for Windows 11 that I have to use for the "ASUS ROG STRIX B760-F Gaming WiFi" motherboard. I know it uses Realtek ALC4080. Thank you

Thank you so much for doing this. I'm very glad I found this site, as Realtek drivers are ones that have always frustrated me.

Two questions:
  1. My new build will have an ROG STRIX B650E-E GAMING WIFI motherboard. I want to confirm that Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) are the correct drivers.
  2. As this will be a fresh install of Windows 11, I will install this driver (along with other drivers - chipset, graphics, network) after installing Windows but prior to running Windows Update. Will I need to run cleanup for any default/basic audio drivers that might be there after installing Windows?

Thank you so much for doing this. I'm very glad I found this site, as Realtek drivers are ones that have always frustrated me.

Two questions:
  • My new build will have an ROG STRIX B650E-E GAMING WIFI motherboard. I want to confirm that Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) are the correct drivers.

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC40xx codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) 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.

  • As this will be a fresh install of Windows 11, I will install this driver (along with other drivers - chipset, graphics, network) after installing Windows but prior to running Windows Update. Will I need to run cleanup for any default/basic audio drivers that might be there after installing Windows?

If I told to new people on my audio drivers threads to follow their CLEANUP process then their INSTALL process, it is in order to start from a clean base (before coming to my audio drivers threads, I don't know if their drivers installation messed up or not, what kind of audio drivers they tried previously, WHQL or not, etc.). So, from a clean install of Windows, you can of course directly follow your UPDATE process.

Thank you so much for the quick reply and clarification.

One other question: as I will be using an ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard, I do not need to install Armoury Crate at all, correct? That only applies to SS|DTS motherboards?
