Cool, I had selected the wrong one initially from the main post.

This is just an update with Install.cmd for me it seems..

EDIT: Will completely uninstall old stuff I have installed to start from scratch.

9200 sound really good.:cool:
For those that don't have 9137(the best over all up until 9200), use these.(or if you want something newer, might be a good idea if you are switching to Windows 11. I bet even Realtek is working to make sure their CODEC chip drivers work well with the new OS).

In any case 9200 is real good and I marked them with red, on my driver download spread sheet
Attachment 89381

For any driver geeks here in ROG Forums, since I started saving MoKiChUs Realtek drivers on my OneDrive(only the SS§ ones for my system Maximus X Hero) here are the best ones since I started September 2019:
8831.1
8867.1
8923.1
9045.1
9137.1
9175.1
9200.1

What makes a good driver to me is, if it has the same quality as either Intel or Nvidia HDMI passthrough, in that highs & mids are well balanced, and sub bass has clear thump and (especially) punch and is not muffled.
The only advantage of HDMI over Realtek is, with HDMI you can use SS3 upmix surround to let any Dolby/Dolby Atmos playback device give you a much wider sound stage than Realtek.

Mokichu does it again!!!

Thanks once again you champion, perfect driver as usual, my hat goes off to you sir/madame.

Had a question about VAD Media Driver, I see windows attempts to install it as an optional update of the SS3-Only package (it is included in the SS3-DTS package but not in the SS3-Only package). Wanted to know why it is not included with the SS3-Only package?

SSVM (Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer) is built-in only with ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards but it is backwards compatible with ASUS ROG SS3 motherboards. I had included it in the ROG SS3 drivers package at the time but a lot of people complained about its presence and that they wanted to remove it because they did not want it.

In order to give ROG SS3 users a choice, here are the change made :

@ ROG SS3 users : You can install/use Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer, it's optional and it's done via a independent drivers package (to be used only once). Refer to your INSTALL process. /!\ Note /!\ : If you want to uninstall it someday, you will have to follow your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process.

Thread updated.

Thank you for the prompt response, and the update links. I did not know it was specifically for the SSVM (yes i see it in the driver listing, but wanted confirmation due to what windows was doing), but I understand why windows is trying to give it as an optional update via windows update - as it tries to cover both sets of bords who use nahimic enhancements.

I remember when you split it, and still have the link/files to the first separate SSVM files to install it by itself :D . Enoy the rest of your day.

Thank you. Installation went well. Followed each step. One question...I only see the Realtek Console now and not the Realtek Control driver. Does this matter? Everything seems to be working great. Thank you.
