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

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 MB) Gen2 from the first post of this thread : [DRIVERS] Realtek USB Audio (MB | 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.

Thanks @MoKichu, a new realtek driver to start the new year
