I have a ROG B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi), which one is the best for me, and when I run the Driver Store Explorer, it doesn't find any of those drivers that should be forced to uninstall, do I need to restart yet?
Also, I'm here because my driver (from my MoBo support webpage) is making my headphones (Philips SHP9500) crackling AF on the right side, but it doesn't seems to occur with my speakers (Edifier R1000T4), do you think that drivers could be the culprit? It was just fine before the drivers suddenly colapse, yesterday. I use voicemeeter to manage everything (separate R1000T4 from SHP9500.

I have installed as instructions but just wondering what does dtsApo4Service do? I think it has something to do with DTS? I dont have any DTS equipment can it be removed or not installed?

Hi Mokichu, I have a Rog Crosshair VIII Hero (not Wi-fi version) with X570 chipset... what are correct the drivers for this Motherboard? Thank you!

In addition, DTS Sound Unbound (built-in with your motherboard) does not necessarily require DTS equipment, all depends the feature you are using.

If you don't need a feature, uninstall the corresponding app and that's it. Do not try to remove/don't install any drivers from your drivers package under pretext that you do not use the corresponding feature/app (or at least do it if you want but i wouldn't provide any support).

---

I didnt install the DTS Sound unbound app. Should I just have to leave the DTS Service alone if its linked with other things (even though i dont use DTS)?

I also tried the SS3 app but that causes loading problems in a couple of games Warzone and Cold War - it fails to load randomly. So I had to uninstall it :(

Installed latest driver package (but cut out useless DTS components from install.cmd) with full cleanup, and all sound effect controls (equalizer, environmental fx, pitch, etc) in Realtek Audio Console stopped working - now they do nothing.

If I install DTS components, they don't show up in console at all, and FX controls disappear too.

ROG Strix B550-A Gaming
Driver version 6.0.9147.1
Realtek Audio Console version 1.25.247.0

As always, Realtek software is a bunch of bugs. I'm so tired of this.

I am no expert but I will quote from the Guru about this DTS stuff...... (it basically is a few posts above yours...... you shouldnt be mucking about with the install

I've already tried all the combinations of drivers/apps supplied here, without any luck. Previous drivers (version without DTS) works fine. When I install latest DTS driver pack, Realtek Audio Console displays an empty section named "DTS effects" or something like that. I suspect there should be at least some hyperspace controls and all that cool DTS/FX stuff, but no. So I assumed that something is wrong, but maybe I'm just blind. Then I tried messing with installation batch file, you know the rest.

btw, Realtek Audio Console headphone impedance detection is broken too - sometimes it measures a depth of my grief instead of actual impedance.

Under DTS Sound effects I have nothing aswell - I thought that is normal as I didnt install DTS Sound Unbound?

I am not using HDMI, I am just using 3mm audio jack. I have my headphones connected in the Front Panel. I have Playback device set to Make front & back play 2 diff streams simultaneously). I use the speaker icon in taskbar to change source from speakers to headphone and vice versa and works okay.

Hello
I have Asus Z590-A Prime. Which Realtek driver should I Download?
Thanks
I also have done cracking and popping

1) Disable hibernation :

- Right-click Windows Start button then click Search.
- Search for cmd. In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt and then click Run as administrator.
- If/When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
- At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off and then press Enter then close the Command Prompt

2) Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_util_v3.exe" > Run as administrator), then Apply, then close MSI Mode Utility & restart your PC

---

MoKiChU,

I need to try your latency sugestions

The DTS Sound unbound app in your first post - is that free or do you have to pay after a certain amount of time? (i.e. free because you own an Asus Mobo)

Kind regards

I have the ROG STRIX B560-F GAMING WIFI motherboard. Is this just DTS or DTS Sound unbound please?

It looks like the DTS Sound unbound is free.

Will I have to pay for the DTS Headphone X that is in it?

No.

Thank you so much for clarifying - your help is great.

Open a ticket with ASUS Support, if they can reproduce your issue, they will work with A-Volute (creator of SS3) and/or Activision to fix your issue.



This is normal, it always worked like this to avoid multiple EQ : When one third party app is installed, the EQ is hidden/deactivated from Realtek Audio Control then deported to the third party app.

According to the screenshot of your Realtek Audio Control you published, DTS Sound Unbound is installed (and this is normal if you have not uninstalled it since it is automatically installed as indicated in your INSTALL process), so the EQ is in DTS Sound Unbound app. If you uninstall it, the EQ will show up in your Realtek Audio Control.

---

Yes I installed the app as you said it was fine, but in DTS Sound unbound app i cannot find any equaliser in it.

I had to uninstall Sonic Studio 3 as it was causing intermittent loading problems in games Cold War & Warzone.

It might help to put the disclaimer at the top of your first post. You might still get people expecting support but then it's on them for not reading before they download. Just a suggestion.

Hi, I'm new to the forums.
I have a Maximus XIII Hero board, I've already downloaded and installed the Retaltek driver from ASUS own driver page, but it doesn't come with the Sonic Studio software.

I'm bit confused which driver to download here...can someone point me to the right direction ? Thank You.

I have a Z490 ROG MAXIMUS XII HERO (WI-FI)

Installed everything but it just crashes when in advanced mode then i get an error saying ''the current system is not supported, or the audio driver has not been properly installed'' timeout

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.

---

Sweet, I got it working ! Finally !
If you don't mind me asking, why didn't the Realtek driver I downloaded from ASUS page include the Sonic Studio software, what's worst is why is it in MS Store ?
Also when I tried to search it myself manually I can't even find it....

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process

- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process.

Hi,

I followed that to the letter but still when i enter Advanced mode it crashes instantly

Â*Â*

Hey I'm using "Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB)" think is the right one for Z390-F. I have a few questions

- "upmix/surround" in ss3 does nothing on my speakers, what does that setting do?
- is asio component needed or safe to disable if I only play games or listen to music?

Hi. I don't see anymore gain control in realtek audio console. I had normal, more loud and extreme settings. Why it's not avaliable anymore?
I use z370-f gaming.

Hey guys, I've also contacted Asus Support before I posted on the forum here.
What ASUS told me is that, actually the Realtek driver we downloaded from ASUS site, does come with the Sonic Studio installer ! 🙄

It's buried under the folder name UWP....what does UWP even mean ?!? 😓

What do you mean with "nothing to disable"? The asio component in device manager can be disabled.

Thanks :cool:

Greetings MoKiChU, I have a TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS (WI-FI) board and if I read this thread correctly the drivers I should download would be the

- Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS TUF/PRIME DTS Custom MB) -

Am I correct on this?

@MoKiChU
Hi, bro appreciates your work. I have ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING there are two Rog download files which one is suitable for me? rog ss dts or non dts ? also I am using headphone which is power by USB is it important to use 3.5 mm headset jack or not important?

Thank you @MoKiChU. STAY WELL!

HEY EVERYONE, @MoKiChU spends a lot of time and effort to bring not just Audio driver updates, but system ones also. SO how about some better show of support/thanks to him?

Yes there are some that do this but come on, where are the rest of you? I really appreciate what he does and how he goes out of his way to answer questions.

It only takes a minute to just say thank you. Don't take him for granted!

Thank you MoKiChU! No issues with this version so far.

Always appreciate your hard work :)

I installed the drivers but i can´t configure any DTS or DDL on the S/PDIF. It´s just transmitting PCM.

i have already said thank you but will again as he is doing a great job and it must be frustrating for all the questions he gets

If you have any questions about using your features or if you have issues that were already occurring with drivers from your motherboard support page (and therefore that they are not specific to the drivers that I propose) : Open a ticket with ASUS Support.

I also talked about Dolby Digital Live.

It´s a 500 Euro Motherboard and they don´t include basic features.
