Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) Gen2 from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (MB | Intel 5xx/6xx & AMD 5xx/6xx/TRX40).

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.


Also, if this does not fix your issue, since your issue occurring with drivers from your motherboard support page, contact ASUS Support and/or open a thread here : ROG Care - Hardware & Software Support.

Seems this thread has found it's way in the Z690 Motherboards thread that is why I posted in this one about my motherboard issue. I will inform Asus support about my issue as I am not getting any luck fixing this issue.

The Virtual Mixer is part of the Gen2 drivers package.

Only Gen2 drivers will be offered in this thread going forward as per below.

Thread, post & drivers packages updated.

Hello all and Mokichu,

Attachment 91526

Out of the blue, I started getting "The current system is not supported, or the audio driver has not been properly installed" when I try to open Sonic Software, did a scroupolus clean install but no avail, it appears Nahimic service isn't running even though it is set to Auto.

Since clean install didn't fix this, what areas do I need to be focusing on?

EDIT: The culprit is the Nahimic service. If this service is manually restarted, then the Sonic software opens without an issue. However, even though the service is set to start Automatically, it somehow does not. I am wondering what you all think about this, why a service not starting automatically... Worse case I have to create a "restart service" shortcut for nahimic but that just sucks and feels like a bandaid.

EDIT 2: Changed Nahimic Service trigger to "Automatic" rather than "Automatic (Delayed)", service has been starting without issues for the past few restarts. I will keep an eye on this.

Hi,

The service is configured by default on Automatic and not on Automatic (Delayed start). To see from your side what/who switched that.

Note that when services are configured in this way (Automatic (Delayed start)) the service is started 120 seconds after Windows starting.

Thank you Mokichu, I am still not sure what switched it to Delayed start, even with delayed start service wasn't starting. The only thing I messed with was to setup a gaming profile with Armoury Crate where AC would switch Sonic Studio profile from Music to Gaming. I wonder if that was the culprit. So far everything works and back to normal. I haven't messed with gaming profiles again.

Thanks @MoKichu, a new realtek driver to start the new year:cool:

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Thanks for this.

Finally was able to update the X570 Dark Hero wtih your link.
Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS Custom MB) :
Drivers : 6.0.9285.1 WHQL [21/12/2021]

Just some questions: I can't seem to install the Realtek Audio Console. It downloads but won't install, with the following error:

Something unexpected happened

Reporting this problem will help us understand it better. You can wait a bit and try again or restart your device. That may help.

Code: 0x803FB005

I can confirm however, that the driver has already been updated to the 2021/12 driver.

Anything I can try to be able to install the Realtek Audio Console?

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

Hi, thanks very much for the drivers. I'm having an issue after installing the DTS processing type drivers on a Prime Z690-P Wifi D4 board. The DTS Audio Processing app just shows "DTS Audio Processing settings are unavailable as audio service connection lost." The Realtek Audio Console doesn't show anything, no devices or any other information, on its main screen.

Something I've noticed is that there's no DTS service running as far as I can tell - I believe there is supposed to be one. DTS is also not selectable from the built in Windows audio management options.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, which driver should i download? I couldn't make a decision. I got ASUS TUF GAMING F15 laptop, FX506HEB coded. I want to ask for one thing. After I installed Win11, i got low microphone volume on wired headset mic, even on screaming it barely picks up 2-3% of mic volume. I couldn't find way to fix it, maybe this driver can solve.

Thanks for the information. Using those drivers, how do I enable DTS or Dolby Digital output on the digital output? When I test those modes through Windows they do in fact work and produce audio, but there doesn't appear to be a way to set them to actually output that way generally.

Ok thanks for your answer and sorry for posting in the wrong place.

thanks again for the driver and all your work. i have noticed anb issue with this driver (not from mokichus work, but frome realtek/discord. when setting up your audio in multy channel, discord fails to output audio streams to the device, yet app notifications are sent to it. drivers works flwlessly everywhere else but discord, nope. either discord needs an update or realtek did something wrong (it works with stereo but other channels nope).

Update: found out i was wrong, my enhancements were just clashing with discord, needed to re-enable them and all is well now

Thanks for all the work.

Wow, super fast updates, thank you Mokichu.

Thank you again @MoKiChU. STAY WELL!

In case anyone is interested, 9298 is really well balanced.
From the highs, crisp tss tss tss(not sloppy shh shh shh) high hats, to the punch, thump and bump of bass and subwoofer.
I find that the mids, where the vocals generally are, really good on this driver though:-)

Can you post your sound settings?

When I test new drivers I do it with all effects and EQ turned off, and compare it to HDMI from my graphics card.
Sound settings posting won't help, because I use different settings in SS3 depending on what I watch or listen to.(music, talking Videos, movies and so on).

Hey, first off big thanks for maintaining this thread and drivers, I've been using this for years now.

This update seems to have caused an old setting I used to use to disappear. I used to be able to monitor both the line in and the microphone inputs in real-time with zero latency, it clearly wasn't even going through windows because other programs wouldn't pick it up, it was just like a direct raw monitor kind of thing.

Anyway, for whatever reason that is gone now and I'm wondering if I've messed something up, this is intentional because it's an edge case feature that most don't use, or something else.

Anyway, for now I'm just going to revert to the previous version so no worries.

Here is a screenshot with what I'm talking about:

Anyone else have this issue on the latest driver?

I got that same issue when I tried to install older drivers to fix the issue I was having with the newest. try using the clean-up instructions and remove all realtek, avolute, nahimic, etc. entries from your driver store with the force deletion method, reboot, and then try installing again.

Edit: probably was a different issue, but when in doubt a clean install is never a bad idea so long as you know how to do that without generating more problems for yourself.

edit 2: NVM I was right the first time it is exactly what happens if there's no newer driver to install, haha
