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

Hi again,

I think I managed to do all the steps.

I open the Realtek Audio Console, select quadrophonic, tests the setup and all speakers work playing the test sound. But when I try to play music or anything, only the first speaker pair (green connector) plays - not the black connector.

This is driving me insane! Could there be some rerouting going on that I am not aware of?

[Stickan]

Ok, it's me being an ignorant. I supposed what I could connect two pairs or speakers to blue and some other color connector and make them output one source of sound (like it did with my old MB). Now I connected the second pair of speakers to the front blue connector and it works. Yay!

I just need to figure out why neither Skype or Google Meet accepts my microphone. Google Meet actually crashes. Skype isn't receiving any sound. I have tried both a headset to pink and a camera cam Rode mic to pink, and in Windows Sound settings the sound input shows and is registered. Tested with Microsoft Sound Recorder (simple app) and it receives input and plays back. But not Google Meet and Skype.

Thanks for all the help. I will have to keep digging in the mic problem.

Hello, I have a new B550-F (WiFi) paired with a 5600X. The issue I have is that sometime the audio pops or cracks, especially with Windows sound. This is very noticeable when using Windows's slider to adjust volume when the classic sound is playing.
Video of the issue found on the internet:

I tried installing these drivers by following the instructions to no avail. MSI mode is enabled. The issue is still there.
I installed this version -> Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK MB) since the official driver provided only comes with Realtked Audio Console.
Thank you for your help.

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.


Once it's done, regarding your popping/crackling issue, follow these 2 TIPS (also visible at the bottom of the first post) :

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.


Also, update your BIOS to the last (https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/ro.../helpdesk_bios) then update your others drivers to the last :

You need these others drivers for your ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi motherboard :

Thanks for your reply. I tried again by scrupulously following your instructions. I also enabled MSI and disabled hibernation to no avail. I tested the same thing shown in the two video I posted with my two laptops and both of them have the exact same issue.
I also asked a couple of friends with different configurations (Intel 9th gen, Ryzen 1st and 2nd gen) and they all the same very same issue.
Thanks again for your reply and your work.

Thanks @MoKiChU

On 9228 the highs; like with high hat and cymbals, sound a little clipped, and the bass a bit heavier than my now favorite 9209.
