ok
I know that DDU has a way to remove all Realtek drivers it may be risky though

Sorry for asking, could these drivers be used on AMD platform, AM4 X570 ?

Hi,

You are in the wrong thread.

You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx).

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.

For my Asus x670e Strix Gaming E i need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS)?

You cannot choose a drivers package type, each drivers package type is dedicated to each motherboards type.

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.

Note : If you don't want DTS Sound Unbound, just don't install it.

Ok i have now installed but Sonic Studio III + Sonic Radar III not working. More precisely the effects do not work. I can select them but the sound does not change.

Follow this process :

Perfect, working now.

Hi everyone,

@ ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards users : SS3 Cleaner is now included in your CLEANUP process.


Thread updated.

I was wondering if it is possible to only install the Realtek driver and none of the A-Volute or Nahimic stuff that comes along with it? It is notorious for reinstalling itself and causing problems. Thanks!

Hi,

To get rid of SS3 app/drivers :

Would it make more sense to edit your Install.cmd file and remove......or would this cause problems?

Curious if Windows Update will try to install them regardless?

The result is the same one way or another, either way I don't recommend get rid of SS3 drivers since you will lose the hardware audio processing performed by the SS3 APO (which avoids CPU resource hogging for audio processing) and the loss of your equalizer (since your equalizer is based on SS3 APO Drivers).

So if you have noticed issues which the root cause is that SS3 drivers (of which A-Volute/Nahimic stuff) interfering with some of your games/apps, first try to disable SS3 effects, if issues persists, uninstall SS3 app, if issues still persists, there you can go get rid of SS3 drivers as explained previously (it's at your own risk and I won't provide any support).

Thanks for the detailed information. I have found Nahimic/A-Volute to be a resource hog and has caused problems with some of the professional audio software I use (Cubase, Pro Tools). I wasn't aware that it is required to get full functionality of the onboard sound card on my motherboard.

Appreciate your time and all that you do MoKiChU

I just want to be clear on something before I do a fresh re-install Windows 10 Pro 64. I just built a new gaming rig a few weeks ago. I have been having some sound crackling noise while in game AND, my VoiceAttack software prompts me on every use it that “Nahimic” has been detected, and cause conflicts.


I have been digging to find out what the problem is and my research as led me to it being associated with my Audio drivers and Sonic software. When I installed Windows 10 Pro 64 initially, I let Windows update install as many drivers as it wanted too, then I proceeded to install ASUS Drivers from their website. Chipset/Audio/WIFI & Blue tooth.

I want to now do a fresh install of Win 10 Pro 64. I read through the 1st page of this thread, and I want to make sure I understand something before I go through the hassle. I will install Windows 10 Pro, then I should install an Audio driver 1st before I allow Windows 10 Updates to try and install something I don’t want, and what I should install 1st is the Audio driver on the 1st page so I don’t get all of that Bloatware and I don’t get that “Nahimic” installed? Is that all I really need to do for Audio drivers? And is the correct file:

Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) :

Drivers : 6.3.9600.2355 WHQL [09/03/2023]
