What is the correct one forROG STRIX B450-F GAMING

UAD - ASUS ROG SS3
UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK)

Good afternoon. I have an Asus ROG MAXIMUS XII APEX z490 motherboard. Which driver should I use?
UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 or UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK)?
Thanks, I'll wait for an answer.

And is there a difference how to remove the old one via DDU or via CLEANUP? Thank you.

FYI i don't have that issue, i'm on Maximus X build 22000.795

First of all my specs:

ASUS Maximus XI Hero WiFi
Windows 11 Pro x64 build 22621.232 22H2

I followed the guide to clean install the driver (even used DDU in safe mode to be sure everything was cleaned fine), I installed version 6.0.9360.1 SS3 without any issue, every component was recognized so nothing to complain. Rebooted the system and checked the audio, all ok! Even Realtek Audio Console self installed.

I continued to use my computer as usual, but I noticed when using WinRAR or Google Chrome/Opera GX, even Windows Task Manager, these applications were slow in opening, so after some testing etc. I found out NahimicService.exe was the culprit. I let the video speak by itself:

Obviously i updated to the latest version (6.0.9374.1) posted yesterday and nothing has changed, so my question is if anyone has having the same behaviour or not, maybe it's the unsupported Windows 11 version that cause the issue, who knows....

PS: Sonic Studio 3 is a garbage software, crashing in advanced mode everytime.

Sorry MoKiChU

I misspoke. Will you continue to support realtek drivers for notebooks?
c-media does not interest me I know that there is no update and that asus does what it wants. as with the touchpad precision

Have a good day

Hey Mokichu,

I m lost with the sound drivers... I uninstalled them (tried a new sound card) then tried to reinstall them (rog ss3 + dts) on my Maximus formula XII...
Cleaned everything as usual, console, sonic studio, radar, driver storage removing everything i could from dtx, realtek etc ...
I've also deleted a folder in appdata (nahimic something...). I reinstalled your drivers (and the official as well), everything's going good until I try to launch Sonic suite III, dled from MS store from your link.

First, usually, when I install your drivers, after the reboot, I have the install wizard finishing the realtek installing process (same with the official). This time, i neven shows up, so I have to manually download the console and Suite III from your link. The console is working (even tho i can only see the digital output (spdif))???) and suite III is poping up 1 sec before disappearing... Then I am tryin to open Sonic Suite Companion from the start menu (in admin) and it shows that

Dunno if I deleted something important on appdata, but it is suppose to come back anyway after installation right ?

Also noticed that windows update tends to download automatically A-volute and some nahimics stuff ...
Anyway, without suite III, and realtek console, the sound card is useless, spdif is limited to 48khz 16 bits, Sabre amps arnt working, etc ...

I dunno what to do now, i have the same symptoms with the official old drivers...

Thank you

Edit : Problem solved, kaspersky was blocking A-volute and Nahimic programs, services and their access to the network. Be aware in case you are using Kaspersky

Tekamine, Have you tried turning off the internet before deleting?
