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

Hi,

You try to install/use a drivers package unsuitable for your motherboard.

Thanks! Wasn't aware there was a second thread for this. All's good now.

Unfortunately this and the last release seem to remove the monitoring capabilities of the driver. Is this just to be expected going forward or is it some kind of error I'm having?

Unfortunately this method of monitoring is far superior to using it in windows/OBS/etc. as it has no latency and seems to happen at the analog audio routing level or something.

On a side note, is there any other asus/realtek utility we can use to tap into this motherboard level audio monitoring? I get that it's super niche, but it's so useful if you need it and would be enough to stop updating over for me personally.

Thanks in advance for any support with this issue and huge thanks for maintaining these driver threads over the years

Edit: for clarity, in the screenshot I linked, I mean that on the current release that section highlighted in the red box is simply not there

That does seem strange that it would of been removed.

I suggest you follow the cleanup instructions and do a clean install.

Hi everyone,

Could somone please confirm that Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB) is the correct driver for the Maximum XI Gene?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Correct.

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.

Thank you so much for your fast response.

Hello,
Since two days the effects of Sonic studio aren't working anymore. Until now I couldn't get them back. I already deinstalled and reinstalled the drivers and Sonic studio 3 - no success. Hope someone can help me with this. I am using Windows 11 - my Mainboard is X470-F Gaming.
My last choice wood be a new installation of Windows. But without knowing how to solve that problem it seem to be likely to run into this issue again.

Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the audio enhancements on the audio device, i know it sounds silly and that reinstalling would have fixed it, but that caught me out two driver releases ago. Do it in the realtek audio console, sound settings in the settings app and in the "more sound settings" options in the sound settings sections of settings app (they all do the same thing i just can't recall which one i specifically used).

I hope it helps

Unfortunately it seems to have been removed, already tried the full clean-up and it's simply there on older drivers but not on the newer ones. It's a very niche feature so I'm not surprised, I just hope that it was done for an important reason and not just a careless shrug.

No complaints to Mokichu though, just for clarity. I get that Realtek makes these drivers and to be honest I have no idea where I'd even begin to leave a comment on a thing like this.

I'll eventually get an external audio interface that will render this obsolete, but it's a surprisingly killer feature to have directly on the motherboard for anyone getting into podcasting, streaming, etc. The older drivers work fine though and with something like audio it's not like a GPU driver where you can't necessarily just go without updates.

All in all, I wanted to make sure it was known and that I wasn't having a weird error on my end and to not just shrug and assume it gone only to find out that there was an easy fix had I only asked, you know?

Cheers though, appreciate it

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process.
- Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC.
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process.

Also, check that the Enhance audio/Signal Enhancements setting is enabled (otherwise your audio effects will not work) :

Hi,

Regarding your use, you should try these features from SS3 app :

- Record Studio > Basic Mode > Direct Monitor

- Record Studio > Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer :

Activating sound enhancement worked. Thank you very much
