The drivers listed here are not modified, they are just newer (usually current from Realtek) than those listed on the official Asus downloads. If you have no issues with the Asus ones, you can update if you would like to these but depending on your motherboard it might not do anything other than being more up to date.

Which one is the right driver for ROG Strix B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi)? -

I have a question for owners of Logitech Z623, after installing the latest driver update the sound of my speakers has changed in a strange way, they seem more detailed than before, both the base has been lowered from both sides. I also unpluged them from my motherboard and when it's still the same, I am not sure if the sound has improved or gotten worse. ASUS TUF Z370 PLUS Gaming is my motherboard and DTS Custom drivers have been installed!
P.S: Is there some kind of changelog? -

This post is older, but now I'm having the same issue. I still have an older Realtek driver, version 6.0.8959.1 installed on a Rampage Extreme VI Omega MB. I've noticed that Sonic Studio has updated itself a couple of times without my input, obviously through Microsoft or itself, but I never bothered to open the app recently. Today I opened it to modify a couple of settings and now I'm getting the same error listed above. Do I need to update the Realtek driver as well to get SS3 to work again and if that's the case, will I always have to go through this PITA ritual if SS3 updates itself yet again in the future? Any way to prevent SS3 updating and just leave well enough alone when things are working? And obviously I will have to go through the cleanup process before installing the new version every time. I'm almost to the point of buying a dedicated sound card.
Also, which Realtek driver is the right one for my MB? I noticed that there is one other Asus Tuff/Prime DTS version listed with a suffix. I last installed just the DTS version last time. Yet there is other DTS version with a suffix and 2 others listed with additional suffixes without explanations as to which MB's they apply to and I see this question asked over and over on this forum so there's obviously confusion here. Is there a list somewhere that parses what MB is what for the driver's listed? -

I edited my post while you were responding to mine MoKiChU. Sorry about that. So apparently I installed the incorrect version for my MB last time since my file is listed as the AsusTuff/DTS version. I guess I've got to wipe that one with the cleaner tool. Thanks for that info. But why did it work so long, many months I estimate, without an issue? Was it because SS3 updated itself recently?

OK, everything is working great now. Between the App Uninstalls, Driver Store Explorer .inf purging and the Cleanup Tool, all the Realtek and Nahimic remnants were removed from my system. Several reboots and installs later, thank you very much MoKiChU! You're a hair saver. I gather whenever MS updates SS3 behind my back in the future, I need to start looking for a newer Realtek driver if SS3 throws a fit. What a PITA. Also, what in the heck is wrong with Microsoft? For entertainment's sake, I opened the MS Store app from the Start Menu to see if I could find those 2 apps since they didn't auto-install. Did a search for both the Realtek Audio Console and Sonic Studio 3. Nothing, bupkiss, NADA. Then I used your handy links for finding them in the MS Store via a browser and viola!, there they are as plain as the nose on Microsquish's face. What a bunch of morons at Microsoft and thank you for providing the links to find both of those because MS is no help whatsoever.

Update: After shutting down my PC the sound has returned to normal both a lot more detailed than before, now it's a real pleasure to experience the richness of sound, guessing it must have been some isolated case...

Note to Mokichu,
I have been using your updates for a long time and as mentioned before am very grateful for your input.
However it has been impossible to do a thorough clean before updating my sound the last 6 updates or so , due to this process disabling my Kaysuda Hello camera on re login.
If I just update the realtek driver without this process, subsequent reboots work normally . I installed the camera on 25/12/20 and otherwise the systems and sound works 100%.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, as I would prefer to clean the system before updating realtek.
Thanks
