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

[dragonwolf5589]

THANK YOU so much.

the official asus driver on the "support" page for my Maxiumus XII Forumula just would not work and had none stop issues (actually ALL of their drivers are causing me issues at moment so trying to find all the rest as i cant see forum page/topic for the xii formula one - seen ones for hero but not formula)

Update: I did have version 6.0.9159.1 on my ssd

Decided to install windows 10 to new m.2 ssd and installed 6.0.9205.1 as listed - but the stupid Nahimic service is conflicting with nvidia drivers so i had 20+ BSOD in past 1 hour until i used msconfig to disable Nahimic service on startup.

Should i use the 6.0.9159.1 instead? Or did the windows -self install version of realtek drivers cause this? (I did fresh install but did not do a clean up as i assumed there would be no drivers as i didnt have any realtek or any nahimic software installed)

(i spent 4 hours trying to find what the heck was causing the BSOD as ive had the same issues when i first installed windows 10 so i cant remember what i did to fix it, whether it was this driver version before or if i just/already disabled Nahimic service from starting - even when i removed nvidia drivers i still had the glithes so it may be conflicting with more than one driver)

Hi,

If you want troubleshoot drivers side, the UAD/DCH drivers being modular, you can try to install your drivers by these different types of install from the most complete to the lightest :

- Full : Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process.

- Full without SS3 apps : Uninstall Sonic Studio III & Sonic Radar III (Start > Settings > Apps) then restart your PC.

- Full without DTS app : Uninstall DTS Sound Unbound (Start > Settings > Apps) then restart your PC.

- Realtek Only (equalizer in Realtek Audio Control will not work) : Delete the ThirdParty folder from AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x folder then follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process (without installing SS3 & DTS apps).

- Minimal (such as Microsoft built-in drivers, without Realtek app) : Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process > Right click on HDXASUS.inf (in AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x\Realtek\Codec_xxxx.x folder) > Install > Wait for the message "The operation completed successfully" or for restart request.

thanks tested few different ways, as soon i do anything other then realtek only i get bluescreen errors.

bluescreenview shows nvlddmkm.sys + ntoskml.exe + dxgkrnl.sys is causing the bluescreens -

what is strange is my windows 10 on the 860 ssd is exact same drivers except older version 6.0.9159.1 (its the ONLY driver on my old ssd install that i installed from this forum, the other drivers you have/linked to on the chipset thread i hadnt yet but had issue with the asus website ones.

the second i install this realtek it works until i try to play a game or do graphics test then bluescreens - sonic software and dts software NOT installed.

I'm going to try another clean-up and installing the older version to see if that does anything, as the old ssd theres not been a bluescreen for a year but it runs the drivers you provided for Realtek (i just cant remember if I thanked you back then so i thanked you today for keeping the drivers up to date etc) - so surely if it works on the old ssd without bluescreen and with enhancements etc, it should on the nvme drive.

i'll update later see what happens

update:

No matter what i do, even the old version is giving BSOD - I just cant remember how on earth its working on the Old SSD perfectly fine, but the exact same audio driver from this thread, along with the official nvidia drivers from the geforce experience, works fine old ssd, but on the new m.2 nvme ssd it just wont go past 10-30 seconds of 3dmark/pcmark/occt tests at all due to the BSOD always tracing down to Nahimic service.

so not sure how to get it to work, but installing and removing the third party folder has worked perfect. just a shame the Nahimic software is causing major issues when it works fine on the old ssd im moving from. (i want windows to be full functional on the new ssd before i format the old one to use as the games drive)

if anyone has any idea how to get it working let me know, as i cant remember how it works on the old ssd on my VERY old motherboard, the graphics card seemed to be failing but worked fine in this motherboard, until i had bsod but then fixed it removing and reinstalling drivers over and over and cant remember how or what triggered Nahimic software and nvidia to work together.

ONLY differences are:

Old: Samsung 860 Evo 2TB, all asus drivers except audio from this thread but older version, and chipset from intel website, nvidia geforce software
New: Samsung 970 Evo 2TBm all drivers from the forum/ones you listed as the asus ones have errors, bugs and outdated, Nvidia geforce software

Forgot to say, ALL drivers except chipset version are identical over the two ssd's, both latest graphics drivers,
its not major thing to go without it, but it worked fine before for the past year. and i cant see the updated chipset drivers and ethernet drivers causing it to trigger

Hello, may I ask you which one should I download from the first post? I have a Rog Maximus X Hero (WI-FI AC)

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard, so :

You need Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 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.

Oh I will, thanks for the quick reply and taking the time to do this thread.

Ok I just finished testing and comparing 9209.
It is the perfect balance between 9200 & 9205
Definitely a keeper, and probably the best, I think it even beats 9137, which has been the long running favorite of mine.

Thanks for the update @MoKiChU
