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

Hi,

You have an ASUS ROG SS3 motherboard

Sorry for the stupid question, how do I know what kind of motherboard mine (Rog Strix Z490-A Gaming) is in this sense? I am having a problem with recording Zoom (or Teams) lectures (the sound appears with some sort of boom echo that is not present on my other device - cheap HP laptop - and appears only in recordings, not in live stream) and tried to uninstall and reinstall all audio drivers, but the official Asus package does not seem to be installing (Asus setup does not work on my machine and I don't know why), so now I have lost all sound. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

No, legacy installer (with Setup.exe) hasn't been used in my drivers packages since the change of the install mode (from legacy installer (with Setup.exe) install mode to drivers only (with Install.cmd) install mode) that I did a long time ago, as is the case for all the others drivers that I offer.

Those who have been following me for a long time know that I have always tried to offer the most refined drivers and the most integrated in the system (Drivers Only) when the number of .inf to install manually is not excessive. The .cmds used here for the install/update of Realtek Audio Drivers is a continuation of this Drivers Only logic (the .cmds use Microsoft PNPUtil (which is included natively in every Windows system files) and contain only a check of the admin right then an automation of the equivalent of a right click then Install on each necessary .inf, in the necessary order, according to the case then an auto restart).

So :

- If you want uninstall your Realtek Audio Drivers : Follow your CLEANUP process.
- If you want make a clean install or install your Realtek Audio Drivers for the first time : Follow your CLEANUP process then follow your INSTALL process.
- If you want update your Realtek Audio Drivers (after a clean install or first time install from here) : Follow your UPDATE process then once it's done, you can use Driver Store Explorer to remove the old drivers (Click on the Select Old Drivers button > Check the box Force Deletion then click on the Delete Driver button > Restart your PC).

Note : I recommend decompress the .zip file that I offer with 7-Zip : Right click on the .zip file > 7-Zip > Extract Here.



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.

thank you for the clarification! not sure why i was getting wierd numerics through my phone typing i apologize. i will get this downloaded when i get home.
-do i have to have to use 7zip?
-for the future just to clarify what you said, when you post an update i will update it then go back with driver store explorer to delete old driver (the one im dowloading today 6.0.9231.1 WHQL [31/08/2021]) or do the cleanup process first?

As explained previously, I recommended it to avoid ZoneID blocking trouble, but it is not an imperative, you can even use the Windows Explorer built-in decompression tool.

But if you don't use 7-Zip context menu to extract your .zip, you will have to :

- 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, whatever the decompression tool you use) :

- 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

Correct. You will have to follow directly the UPDATE process then, optionally, delete old drivers via Driver Store Explorer.



No, the CLEANUP process is only necessary during the first install (in order to start on a healthy basis), or if you have an issue.

Got it thank you very much! I just installed everything.

Sonic suite companion popped up to download sonic studio. I downloaded sonic studio. Now, do I need the sonic suite companion? my options are run companion at startup or uninstall companion. The only thing clickable is uninstall companion or the run companion at startup checkmark then thats it just minimizes in task bar if i exit out of it and when i reopen the same thing. Sonic Studio also will close out on me.

-Is there a microsoft bus controller I need for audio? im not seeing I have one

-Also is it normal not to see realtek audio driver in the add/remove programs?

I apologize for all the questions but defiently like my title says im a new ROGer lol
I cant wait to test some audio and most importantly hear footsteps in games again!

Hi,

SS3 Companion has been set up by A-Volute to check/update your version of SS3 app & SS3 APO driver.

For people who follow me, this tool is useless, you can disable the launch of the SS3 Companion on Windows startup via SS3 Companion GUI, but for people who do not follow me, it allows them to have their SS3 app & SS3 APO driver up to date.



Everything you need is contained in your drivers package.



Yes that's normal (Drivers Only), if one day you want uninstall your Realtek Audio Drivers, just follow your CLEANUP process as explained previously.

thank you so much! Have a great day!

I got one more question the driver says Realtek and not Realtek high definition how do I get the high definition part? Do I need a different driver or is there a way to enable it and for it to say high definition?Â*

[dwberg09]

Again, everything you need is contained in your drivers package. You don't have to touch or enable anything.

All depends on the generation of your motherboard :

[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx) | UAD : Realtek Audio in Device Manager
[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 6x/7x/8x/9x/1xx) | HDA : Realtek High Definition Audio in Device Manager

I have Asus z390e with i7-9700k wouldn't I use this one then Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 6x/7x/8x/9x/1xx)? (SS1/SS2)?

[dwberg09]

No, I have already told you which drivers package to use with your motherboard.

Please do not waste my time asking questions that I have already answered.

it’s a valid question didn’t know I was wasting ur time it says 9x in title thought it was for 9th gen which is the cpu compatibility for the mother board I have

[vermelho]

I have a weird bug: when plugging my headphone in the front panel (didn't try back panel and also have the question, is there a difference between front and back?) they are not recognized unless I enable and disable the "Disable front panel jack detection" switch on Realtek Audio Control. Else the PC just acts like nothing was plugged.

My motherboard is a Crosshair VI Hero and I downloaded the UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB 6.0.9231.1 and done everything as stated to cleanup and install. Did I get it right? Should I stick to the MoBo support page driver and downgrade the driver or it's a bug indeed?

[alikemalmarhan]

A friend of mine is using your software and I can feel the difference in quality he gets. I want to install it on my own computer, but I didn't know which file to download. My motherboard is Asus Prime B450M-K II. I don't have an external sound card. I would be very grateful if you could tell me the suitable driver. Thanks.

Hello Mokichu, do I need the same for the PRIME Z370-A ? Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME RTK MB) ?
