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

[Cliff S]

6.0.9268.1 WHQL sound really close to HDMI with both SS§ turned off and on.
With SS3 on and upmix/surround selected(use your own for other options) and do not use the eq in the realtek audio console app, if you use opticle out(192000@24Hz), and the Realtek sound is very close to HDMI Dolby, very close, specially the bass.

My settings for every day use:

Heya MoKiChU, what constitutes a motherboard as (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB Gen1) or (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB Gen2)?
I have a ROG Strix X570-I Gaming motherboard that I would assume is now classified as Gen1 since you mentioned that ROG Strix X570-E Gaming is considered Gen1.
I currently have Gen2 drivers installed without issue.

Hi Mokichu,

When you enter any game, the amplify level section disappears and the sound is reduced by half when opening the game. I did a clean install and tried previous audio versions, same result. The same process works fine in windows 10, but it creates problems in windows 11.

In the advanced settings section, when you select the headphone in the rear panel section as the front speaker output and select the headphone again, the problem is fixed, but the sound in the games sounds very bad. In FPS games, it is not clear where the gun sound comes from. When you install the 6.0.9088.1 version published on Asus site, the sound does not turn down, but ss3 does not work. All works fine on Windows 10.

Motherboard X570-F Gaming. Current stable versions of all drivers are installed. All updates of Windows 11 are installed.
Can you help with this issue?

Thanks.

Hi,

You have to report this to Microsoft and/or ASUS (so that they forward to Realtek, A-Volute, DTS ...), or wait for drivers and/or Windows 11 update.

@MoKiChU I have the Asus Rog Strix X-570e gaming mobo. I'm confused by the new naming structure. Do I still download UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS MB Gen1 drivers?

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.

Hi,

I will clarify this point which generates a lot of confusion for every ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards users.

All ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards without ALC408x codec that exist on the market today are Gen1 (Intel 4xx & AMD 5xx).
All ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards without ALC408x codec that will be released from today are Gen2 (Intel B660/H670 ...).
All ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound AMD TRX40 motherboards without ALC408x codec (USB) that exist on the market today are Gen1 (AMD TRX40).
All ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards with ALC408x codec (USB) that exist on the market today and that will be released from today are Gen2 (Intel Z590/Z690 & Last AMD X570 ...).

ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards Gen1 are Gen1 and Gen2 drivers compatible.
ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards Gen2 are only Gen2 drivers compatible.
ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards Gen1 (USB) are only Gen1 drivers compatible (to date).
ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboards Gen2 (USB) are only Gen2 drivers compatible.

So you may ask me why offer Gen1 and what is the point of installing Gen1 when Gen2 are backward compatible ? Because some people wants to get rid of all Third Party apps while having a working EQ in Realtek Audio Control via a workaround, which is not possible with Gen2 (only possible with SS3 motherboards without workaround or SS3-DTS motherboards Gen1 with workaround).

So to answer you simply, as long as you are not looking for something other than what is intended by ASUS (EQ in SS3 app), you can use the Gen2 drivers package (and it more optimal because it avoids SS3 APO & DTS APO conflicts).

Note : If you switch from Gen1 drivers package to Gen2 drivers package and vice versa, follow CLEANUP process.

Thank you very much for this clarification. Hope people stop asking this from now on .

Hi,

Delete the RealtekHSA_xxx folder (which is in Realtek folder in your drivers packages).
