So uninstall SS3 apps, you will see EQ in Realtek Audio Control.

I don't have any DTS or SS3 apps installed with my B550-F but I still can't see the equalizer in Realtek Audio Console with the newer drivers. I used to disable the DTS service before to get the equalizer to show up but the newer drivers don't install that service so it can't be disabled. I also don't recall ever having the equalizer show up for SPDIF in the Audio Console during the year of owning this motherboard with many different drivers.

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the UPDATE process.

Hey, thanks for your time to answer!

I always do this before installing a new driver version.
Manually uninstall everything -> run Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode to remove the Realtek driver -> run Driver Store Explorer to force delete any leftovers -> run SS3 Cleaner -> install new driver without installing DTS or SS3 apps.

However it makes no difference, there's still no equalizer for speakers nor SPDIF. Also the DTS service doesn't get installed since the SS3-DTS driver package got updated earlier this month, I used to disable this service before to get equalizer to show up in Realtek Audio Console for speakers.

First of all, thanks MoKiChU for the hard work, much appreciated.

Now, same issue on my end too (same mobo using drivers UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS), no eq for SPDIF with drivers after 9250.1, after that drivers changed whatever and even after a clean windows reinstall the equalizer won`t show up unless I install 9250.1. I tried everything, clean up process, ddu, even clean windows install, maybe windows is installing some older drivers after restart and that is messing with these new drivers. For the time being I`m staying on 9250.1.

It freakin` works, the EQ appears now in Realtek Audio Console for SPDIF with the 9264.1 Gen 1 driver.

For those that want or need the EQ for SPDIF in Realtek Audio Console use the Gen 1 driver, but before installing from 9250.1 or older follow exactly the CLEAN UP process, and I can`t stress that enough.

Thanks a lot MoKiChU, you are the man.

Take care, stay safe.

Many thanks to MOKICHU, everything really works !! for Windows 11 ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI)
Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) 6.0.9264.1 WHQL [09/11]

Super!!!

Thanks alot for your hard work!
I installed the new SS3-DTS Gen1 driver and the equalizer now works on SPDIF. Also the DTS service gets installed like before which blocks the equalizer from showing up on Speakers:

The workaround I use is disabling the DtsApo4Service from services.msc or killing DtsApo4Service.exe from Task Manager. This brings the equalizer correctly to Speakers:
Attachment 90738

You might need to re-enable the service if you want to use DTS Sound Unbound.

Ok @MokiChU I just got finished comparing and when I turn on SS3 both with Realtek and HDMI there is now no more clipping,
The only difference is HDMI has a much wider soundstage if dolby is turned on.

I only use HDMI for watching movie/anime and for audiphile & vinyl music uploaded on YouTube(stuff that play long), and prefer to use Realtek for everything else, because there is always a slight delay when starting content to when the soundbar kicks in(but is in sync with video though).

Hi guys, I would also like to ask for a big help,I am totally clueless!
I have a Z690 Strix A motherboard with ALC4080, but no matter what I install the equalizer does not appear in the realtek audio console,I do not need anything else sonic or anything else but this,please help me very nicely,thank you very much !

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