[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx)

[USERMAC]

I have issue where my Z690 Hero is setting my impedance over 1000 ohms.
Done clean install windows 11 and used Armoury Crate to update the drivers I am currenting using Audio Driver ver: 6.3.9600.2299 still have issue and have tried 3 different pairs of headphones
I am wondering if I should be installing the driver in a pacific way like what is being said in this thread.

Please can someone advise what drivers I need and tell me what I need to do to clean the old drivers off as I am unsure which ones I need.
thanks

I have an issue with the ss3 driver on my z390 e gaming with w11. On some apps(CSGO), at launch the amplify level gets reset to the lowest one, and the option dissapears in realtek audio console. I have to restart the pc to get the option visible back and set it to extreme. I tried a clean reinstall, windows reinstall, but no luck. It seems that the drivers have a problem on windows 11. The latest one and the last few before did the same thing.

Hi Moc, I have the exact same issue with fallout 4 windows 11. Btw these days one more thing is off with windows update. Earlier it used to fetch nahimic and a volute stuff itself but now its under "Optional updates". I came back to windows 10 clean install yesterday. This optional update problem is there even on 10. If I don't download a-volute software component from the optional update, the sonic studio doesn't open when fastboot is on.

Hi,

You have to report this to Microsoft and/or ASUS (by contacting ASUS Support and/or open a thread here : ROG Care - Hardware & Software Support), so that they forward to Realtek, A-Volute ...

Hi,

You posted in the wrong place, this thread is no dedicated to your motherboard.

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC408x codec, so :

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


Also, if this does not fix your issue, since your issue occurring with drivers from your motherboard support page, contact ASUS Support and/or open a thread here : ROG Care - Hardware & Software Support.

Seems this thread has found it's way in the Z690 Motherboards thread that is why I posted in this one about my motherboard issue. I will inform Asus support about my issue as I am not getting any luck fixing this issue.

- Press Windows key + X > Task Manager > Services tab : Check that DcomLaunch, RpcEptMapper & RtkAudioUniversalService services running.
- Right click on your Realtek Audio Control/Console app icon > App settings > Reset
- Restart your PC.

If after that it still does not work for you, I have nothing else to suggest to you except a Windows 10/11 21H2 clean install.

Hi,

I have Maximus CODE IX z270

I disabled ZoneID "Group Policy Method" and I install
"Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK MB)"

I got error "Can not connect to RPC service" when launch Realtek Audio Control

and when I look to service I didn't find RtkAudioUniversalService

I did clean install, and problem still present!!

The Virtual Mixer is part of the Gen2 drivers package.

Only Gen2 drivers will be offered in this thread going forward as per below.

Hi everyone,

@ ASUS ROG SS3 motherboards users & ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards users :

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.

Hello all and Mokichu,



Out of the blue, I started getting "The current system is not supported, or the audio driver has not been properly installed" when I try to open Sonic Software, did a scroupolus clean install but no avail, it appears Nahimic service isn't running even though it is set to Auto.

Since clean install didn't fix this, what areas do I need to be focusing on?

EDIT: The culprit is the Nahimic service. If this service is manually restarted, then the Sonic software opens without an issue. However, even though the service is set to start Automatically, it somehow does not. I am wondering what you all think about this, why a service not starting automatically... Worse case I have to create a "restart service" shortcut for nahimic but that just sucks and feels like a bandaid.

EDIT 2: Changed Nahimic Service trigger to "Automatic" rather than "Automatic (Delayed)", service has been starting without issues for the past few restarts. I will keep an eye on this.

Hi,

The service is configured by default on Automatic and not on Automatic (Delayed start). To see from your side what/who switched that.

Note that when services are configured in this way (Automatic (Delayed start)) the service is started 120 seconds after Windows starting.

Thank you Mokichu, I am still not sure what switched it to Delayed start, even with delayed start service wasn't starting. The only thing I messed with was to setup a gaming profile with Armoury Crate where AC would switch Sonic Studio profile from Music to Gaming. I wonder if that was the culprit. So far everything works and back to normal. I haven't messed with gaming profiles again.
