Thank you MoKiChU for the super quick answer :)

For anyone who wants to only update the one component, just use it's .inf, right click and select install

Hello, here is the link I use;

Get Realtek Audio Control - Microsoft Store

Hello Mokichu, Thank you for your ongoing updates for our audio drivers, I have been out for about two weeks and the last version I installed was 6.0.9264.1 and I now see that there is a change in the way drivers are delivered.

I do have a ROG Strix Z370-G WIFI Motherboard and I used to use ROG SS3 drivers, in the new setup, do I use Gen1 or Gen2 for ROG SS3? Also, I used to only UPDATE and never clean install, do I now have to do a cleanup first or could I just continue to update? I saw your explanation above about switching from Gen1 to Gen2, would the old drivers considered Gen1?

Thank you.

Also, to avoid ZoneID blocking trouble :

- For each downloaded .zip : ZoneID unblock the .zip (Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK).

or

- Disable the ZoneID blocking completely (you will no longer have to unblock each downloaded .zip) :

- Right-click Windows Start button then click Launch then type gpedit.msc > OK
- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
- Do not preserve zone information in file attachment : Enabled > OK.

Windows 10 Gen 1 ?

Windows 11 Gen 2 ?

so what?

did I understand correctly?

Thank you @MoKiChU

Searched through the last 10 pages or so and couldnt find which driver to use for a ROG Hero z690 motherboard. Also I installed the driver from the motherboards support page but it installed the realtek usb audio driver. Do I need to uninstall that first? Thanks in advance.

Think I found my answer a few more pages back
"All ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards with ALC408x codec (USB) that exist on the market today and that will be released from today are Gen2 (Intel Z590/Z690 & Last AMD X570 ...).

ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards Gen2 are only Gen2 drivers compatible.
ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards Gen2 (USB) are only Gen2 drivers compatible."

I still dont know about how USB figures into it though.

@Medwynd
Here someone explains the connection between USB and the new Audio Codec ALC4080: https://www.igorslab.de/en/the-old-a...c1220-insider/
Maybe that will help you a little.

Thank you very much.

Thanks MoKiChU:D
This one sounds really good, nothing sounds too clipped or compressed, and subs have great punch and thump.

Thank you very much.

Hey MoKiChU,

I got a Z490 Maximus Hero XII (WiFi) and installed the newest drivers (Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) ver. 6.0.9272.1 but I think that it doesn't installed properly. In device manager under Software components there is no DTS driver only A-Volute Nh3 and the other Realtek stuff. So many things don't seem to work like the Equalizer in the Sonic Studio 3 App. Forgot to mention, I installed it through the Gen2 BAT-File, maybe my Z490 is only Gen1 compatible ?

Thank for your work MoKiChU :)

what to download for Asus Strix X570-E Wifi II motherboard ?

Quickly updated, thank you.

@MoKiChU already a new one again:eek::cool:

@MoKiChU Many thanks for the updates :)

I have ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING mobo but I'm facing two issues with the latest updates.

The first one when I try to open Sonic Studio 3 while playing any sound, it takes sometime then throw an error that this system is not supported .
And to solve this I have to restart NahimicService from the task manager or restart the system.

The second issue when I enable the Upmix/Surround option to have the sound out of all my 4 speakers; the sound quality then reduces dramatically.
That doesn't happen if I installed the mobo's support page drivers.

Note. I'm installing (Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB) from OP and also followed all the instructions carefully, even do clean install each time I update the drivers.

I bought new headphone, and connected it to rear 3.5mm jack, but volume is very low, amplify level set to extreme level and impedance sensing about 700, what can i do to fix it?

edit: After couple of plugging/unplugging it is set to powerful, and ohms about 90, and i forgot headphone has it own volume, seperated from windows, whats the best setting to get maximum quality audio? to raise headphone volume or windows?

Thank you @MoKiChU. You are appreciated. STAY WELL!

I have ROG Strix B550-E which one should I download?
Windows 10 is not able to find Realtek audio at all even after I downloaded the latest driver.
in device manager it only shows "High Definition Audio Device"

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process.
- Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process.
- For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.

Also, to avoid ZoneID blocking trouble :

Many thanks @MoKiChU, I think the "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup" file did the trick with the SS3 launch error and it's now works flawlessly. :cool:
But for the second issue, I still feel sound quality reduction if I enabled the "Upmix/Surround option". but that's OK I won't enable it for now, hoping there will be fix with the upcoming driver updates.

Thanks again dear .. wishing you a great day :)

Thank you so much for the info
but my installation process seems to have stopped at

Microsoft PnP Utility

Processing inf : dtsapo4ultraAsusextensionpkg.inf

Hi, sorry to bother, but I can't figure out how to identify gen 1 vs gen 2 on the drivers. I've been using it for a while prior to there being a generational difference, so I figure I'm probably gen 1, but I have the crosshair hero 7 x470 (non-wifi edition if that matters).

Thanks in advance!

Edit: of course I find it right after I finally decide to post asking for help, but for anyone else with the same question, here ya go: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthrea...108#post849409

If I'm reading this correctly, I can use either but gen2 is recommended :)

The B550-E is advertised as having DTS Sound Unbound, yet the driver you've pointed to doesn't mention this. Is that correct?

Hello, I'm trying to help a friend get the latest drivers for their system as your threads helped me get the latest drivers and resolve some performance issues similar to the ones they're currently having, while my driver for the Z390 Gaming-F was easy to figure out, I'm not familiar with the abbreviated names/terms next to each driver category (RTK, DTSX Ultra, DTS AP, etc).
What driver best qualifies for the ASUS TUF B365M-Plus Gaming board?

Its literally included in the name...

Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB)

When you scroll a bit down further it mentions how to install the DTS Unbound app...

There are different drivers for the DTS Sound Unbound, which is a different utility to other DTS versions (in terms of technology and licensing).

This part takes a very long time. I thought it was frozen myself. Just be very patient and it will eventually reboot your system.

I have a B550-F and supposedly it's Gen 1 but Mokichu recommends Gen 2 installations. I just used the Gen 2 install cmd and it's working fine so far. For those confused about the Gen 1 and Gen 2 thing, seeing Mokichu recommends Gen 2, just use the Install_Gen2.cmd file instead of Install_Gen1.cmd and that's it.

Why is gen 2 recommended? The more recent driver difference is only presets?

Except the virtual thing, but I don't need that. Should I go for gen1/2 @mokichu

You are a hero of patience, to be honest. I got tired of those questions long ago, and they are not even addressed to me.

I'm starting to get sick of these Gen questions : Since Gen2 drivers are Gen1 & Gen2 motherboards compatible, thereby there is no more Gen1 drivers on the thread, so there is no more confusion. Those who do not agree with that just have to use the drivers from their motherboards support page.


Thread, post & drivers packages updated.

Thanks MoKiChU for everything you do!
