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

[Betroz]

New Realtek audio drivers are coming out so often as to wonder if it really is worth updating to every release. Too bad there are'nt any release notes so we can check what is fixed or added... @MoKiChU do you know?

[Betroz]

And speaking of OS, as a reminder the 6.0.9200.1 version is the first WHQL certified for Windows 11, so it doesn't really surprise me if they release another version so quickly (also, if I hadn't been on vacation, I would have released 6.0.9200.1 WHQL version on July 9/10, 2021 and not July 17, 2021).

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I bet the 6.0.9200.1 driver (or a newer one) will be build into the RTM release of Windows 11. Yes a shame Realtek does not provide a changelog. The same could be said about Asus BIOS releases aswell... They only write "Improved stability and performance" or something to that effect

6.0.9205 sounds closer to HDMI passthrough than 9200.1 did,

But it also is missing the punch on bass 9200 has, but has lots of thump.
Note: When I test, I compare always first with all sound enhancements turned off, then with my favorite settings.

On 9205 Mids and highs are about the same as 9200, maybe the highs are a little crisper(on a high hat) though.

The way I see it, so far for Windows 11, for gamers(explosions) and Brutal Slam Death metal and Trap & Bass junkies listeners(drop bass), 9200 is better, with the punch.
And for movie and any other music 9205 is the better choice.

Thanks again @MoKiChU.

Hi everyone,

Total noob here... needs some explanation.
I've recently build a new PC with an ASUS X570-E GAMING motherboard. It's been 10+ years since I built one

Do I need any of these drivers posted here and if so, why and which ones?
Are the original drivers not okay?

If I understand correctly, the original drivers provided don't work correctly for surround sound. I have a 5.1 system BTW.
These drivers provided here are modified to make everything work as intended? Am I correct?

What I find confusing on the ASUS driver download page is which ones to choose. The top ones seem to be the most recent ones. But then there are 'older' entries which seem to provide more or even other apps/drivers.
I even had to download additional drivers through Windows update to get my Bluetooth working. Not sure that's how it's supposed to be

I also installed Sonic Suite but this wasn't inlcuded in the drivers. I found this by accident in the Windows store. What gives, ASUS?

Anyway, I would really appreciate some help or explanition if I need additional/other drivers and which ones to pick. I'm quite confused.
And thanks MoKiChU for your work (even if I wouldn't need them? )

Thanks in advance!

Wow, great. Thank you for replying so fast and the explantion!

Okay, I'll give it a try, making sure I follow your steps correctly.

EDIT: one more question, does this mean the next updates will install correctly through Windows update or should I come back here and update from your links?
I have bookmarked this page nonetheless.

EDIT2: Ah, this is what I need to do to update:

- Launch "Install.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > Automatic restart when install is done

Note : Realtek Audio Control/Console + Sonic Studio III & Sonic Radar III + DTS Sound Unbound will be updated automatically via the MS Store.

Hey!
Does anyone know which are the correct drivers for the
ASUS ROG Maximus XII Extreme?

Hi,

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

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB) from the first post of this thread.

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.

Thanks for your answer

Perhaps you can help me with an problem
After i installed the drivers (and i connected the Front Audio Jack from the Case to the Board) the Microphone is without function when i connect IT on the rear mic Jack. On Front Panel its running.
