Thanks! Wasn't aware there was a second thread for this. All's good now.

Unfortunately this and the last release seem to remove the monitoring capabilities of the driver. Is this just to be expected going forward or is it some kind of error I'm having?

Unfortunately this method of monitoring is far superior to using it in windows/OBS/etc. as it has no latency and seems to happen at the analog audio routing level or something.

On a side note, is there any other asus/realtek utility we can use to tap into this motherboard level audio monitoring? I get that it's super niche, but it's so useful if you need it and would be enough to stop updating over for me personally.

Thanks in advance for any support with this issue and huge thanks for maintaining these driver threads over the years :)

Edit: for clarity, in the screenshot I linked, I mean that on the current release that section highlighted in the red box is simply not there

That does seem strange that it would of been removed.

I suggest you follow the cleanup instructions and do a clean install.

Hi everyone,

Could somone please confirm that Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB) is the correct driver for the Maximum XI Gene?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much for your fast response.

Hello,
Since two days the effects of Sonic studio aren't working anymore. Until now I couldn't get them back. I already deinstalled and reinstalled the drivers and Sonic studio 3 - no success. Hope someone can help me with this. I am using Windows 11 - my Mainboard is X470-F Gaming.
My last choice wood be a new installation of Windows. But without knowing how to solve that problem it seem to be likely to run into this issue again.

Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the audio enhancements on the audio device, i know it sounds silly and that reinstalling would have fixed it, but that caught me out two driver releases ago. Do it in the realtek audio console, sound settings in the settings app and in the "more sound settings" options in the sound settings sections of settings app (they all do the same thing i just can't recall which one i specifically used).

I hope it helps

Unfortunately it seems to have been removed, already tried the full clean-up and it's simply there on older drivers but not on the newer ones. It's a very niche feature so I'm not surprised, I just hope that it was done for an important reason and not just a careless shrug.

No complaints to Mokichu though, just for clarity. I get that Realtek makes these drivers and to be honest I have no idea where I'd even begin to leave a comment on a thing like this.

I'll eventually get an external audio interface that will render this obsolete, but it's a surprisingly killer feature to have directly on the motherboard for anyone getting into podcasting, streaming, etc. The older drivers work fine though and with something like audio it's not like a GPU driver where you can't necessarily just go without updates.

All in all, I wanted to make sure it was known and that I wasn't having a weird error on my end and to not just shrug and assume it gone only to find out that there was an easy fix had I only asked, you know?

Cheers though, appreciate it :)

Hi,

Regarding your use, you should try these features from SS3 app :

- Record Studio > Basic Mode > Direct Monitor

- Record Studio > Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer :

Activating sound enhancement worked. Thank you very much

I got the ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING a couple of days ago and it's been working great. However, when I install the Realtek Drivers the audio from the front-panel speakers becomes noisy and starts crackling a lot, especially with short sounds such as notifications (Windows, Discord, etc); back-panel speakers seem to work fine. I tried installing the drivers in this thread but it still had the crackling sound, maybe I used the wrong one? Or maybe I missed changing some setting somewhere...

Here are my specs:

- MOBO: ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING
- Front-panel plug type: unified speaker and mic
- Case: Ncase M1 V6.1

The front-speaker seems to work fine when using the default Windows Driver (not Realtek).

By any chance are there updated realtek drivers for the x570 boards (C8 Dark Hero in particular)?

Hello skrybe,
See this reply from MoKiChU https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthrea...116#post854047

Thanks Jimbo93, and thanks MoKiChU. Must have missed seeing that. I'll give it a whirl.

Well I followed cleanup (uninstall) process and did the install, and the headphones work fine but nothing I do gets my Mic working. I did another cleanup and reinstalled the last set of drivers I know were good (8960.1) and same problem can hear, but Mic flat out doesn't work. Checked Mic's physical mute button, the realtek and windows mic settings, the windows privacy settings, tried in both front and rear connectors, even tried uninstalling the Sonic Studio apps and it just flat out won't work. And I know the Mic is good.

I assume there has to be some component from the newest drivers still lurking on the PC that's causing the problem. But I can't find it :(

edit: I did another full clean using the routine outlined in MoKiChU's post and reinstalled again and it's now working. I guess I missed something the last time somehow. But it's working so far.

Hi guys, I have an Asus H510M-E of the 10th and 11th generation intel, which audio driver should I install? I'm lost. I am currently using version 9254.1 but would like to install the latest 9300.1.

I have an Asus Prime Z690-P WIFI D4 motherboard. The system uses the optical output for audio, which is connected to a Sonos Beam Gen.2. The Beam is paired via WiFi with two surround speakers (Sonos One). Sound output from the motherboard works fine, except for the fact the the signal is stereo and cannot be pursuaded to output surround sound.

The Sonos setup by itself works fine and plays surround sound like a charm, except when my computer is the audio source. I am running the standard Realtek 6.0.9282.1 driver (no custom driver package from this thread). The Realtek Audio Control app is up to date. This is what I see when I try to select a multichannel audio output format:

Attachment 92008

Evidently, there are only stereo output formats, nothing like 5.1 in any flavor. [edited] Any idea how I can resolve this issue?

Hi MoKiChU,

Which drivers to use for ASUS X570 E Gaming?

Thanks.

Hi,

You have an ASUS PRIME Realtek motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK) from the first post of this thread.

Hi,

First of all I want to clarify to everyone that this thread is not a catch-all thread for all the issues you encounter, it only concerns the drivers found in this thread (which are not "custom" or "modded" drivers as you claim, they are OEM original drivers, WHQL signed by Microsoft) and nothing else, if you have an issue with what comes from your motherboard's support page, contact ASUS Support and/or open a thread here : Hardware & Software Support.

To come back to your issue, be aware that you will not be able to output 5.1 PCM via SPDIF port, only Stereo PCM.

You can only use 5.1 PCM via 3.5mm jack (https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1045991) or HDMI.

For reference :

You have an ASUS PRIME Realtek motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK) 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.

So, your motherboard does not have any DTS or Dolby built-in, however, your Sonos Beam Gen.2 audio equipment is Dolby Atmos compatible, so plug your Sonos Beam Gen.2 audio equipment via HDMI to use 5.1 PCM and/or Dolby Atmos from Dolby Access app (free for Dolby Atmos only) :

Dolby Access : Link

Thanks for your clarification. I read a lot on various websites about issues with Realtek drivers with no possibility to turn on 5.1 audio, even though the hardware supports 5.1 audio. That is why I suspected my problem to be a Realtek audio driver issue.

[edit]
For those reading along, these are the main conclusions:

• The analog audio outputs use Realtek hardware and drivers.
• The optical audio output (= SPDIF) uses Realtek hardware and drivers. Because of bandwidth restrictions on any motherboard, SPDIF supports stereo PCM, but not 5.1 PCM. Because of hardware restrictions on my Asus Prime motherboard (chipset not DTS capable), SPDIF does not support 5.1 DTS.
• The onboard HDMI output uses Intel hardware and drivers. It can deliver high bandwidth audio along with the video signal. When the video signal is turned off (no video screen present), the audio signal is turned off as well.
• A discrete video card with HDMI output works similar to the onboard HDM output.

Thanks for your help, MoKiChU. It helped me understand what the Realtek drivers do and what is out of scope for them.

Hi. What driver do i need for Crosshair VII Hero X470 (non wifi) using win11? THX!

Hi,

First of all, thank you so much for creating this thread and helping everyone!

My motherboard is a ROG Maximus XIII Hero Z590 - which driver will I need?

And also, not sure if you would know but would this fix an issue where my microphone is not working/being extremely quiet?

I've been having to use third party software (Voicemeeter) in order to be able to get people to hear me, I'm on Win 11 - if you don't know if this will fix it then that is fine, maybe someone else in the thread will have the same issue and be able to find a solution for me.

Thanks again!

And so, after suffering in the next topic with HDA on Win 11, I had to return to the UAD version ... but! )) Now it does not work in SS 3 in the "record" tab of the "voice equalizer" and "noise" functions.
I tried different versions, from here, from the Asus website from similar motherboards like my Hero 9. Doesn't work ((
I cleaned everything as in the topic, deleted everything manually, through DDU, nothing helps. More precisely, everything helped, but for some reason the functions described above do not work in SS 3. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Hi Vinsent13, what is your motherboard model? Oh, I see it Hero 9. I searched this thread for same codec as your board, looks like you need this driver from MoKiChU thread: Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB). You can wait for MoKiChU to reply to be sure.

ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING
I believe it is a ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound MB but I followed the guide and Sonic Suite and Radar still don't work.

I have now repeated this entire process twice more. When opening up sonic studio or radar I still receive the message "The current system is not supported, or the audio driver has not been properly installed. TIMEOUT"

Thank you @MoKiChU. You are appreciated. STAY WELL!

Thank you MoKiChU for keeping us updated;)

Thank you MoKiChU for updated

Thanks a lot!

thank you for the guide and drivers MoKiChU! something i wanted to check: do we need to install Sonic Studio III or DTS Sound Unbound?

AS hard as I try, this Z490-E will not longer work with this process. The Windows Store Realtek audio console cannot connect to RPC. Windows shows 7.1 audio but only after I configure it that way. The Realtek audio console does not install automatically from the windows store. I think there is something stuck. Something that is not unique to this Z490 as I've had this on other motherboards with similar Realtek chipsets. Any ideas what might be causing this?

OMG Realtek HD Audio service disabled at startup. I certainly didn't disable it. So frustrating. Thank you!

Thanks @MoKiChU for your help. I have a Crosshair VIII Hero Wifi (NOT DARK HERO). Which driver should I be looking for?

[QUOTE=MoKiChU;857758]Hi everyone,


Hello Mokichu,

i use always your drivers, my motherboard Asus TUF B350M plus ALC887 realtek sound with windows 10 64bit

i download this 9305.1 works fine but this driver bass sounds gone, a lot of clear sound. (sharp)

Is it because of the driver feature? or you make balance it?
