Hi,

- Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process

Hi mokichu, first of all thank you for coming back, this community really appreciate what you're doing!

Now I did the full process two times just this morning, uninstalled sonic studio and realtek UAD apps, restarted, deleted these 9 drivers https://i.imgur.com/HEZjZj8.png, Ran SS3 cleanup - it showed it hasnt found the nahimic drivers, restarted again, and ran Install_ROG_SS3.cmd for ( Should be correct for Z370-e) as admin, after restart - same issue occurs. I would rather just use clean drivers, but my speakers require the volume boost i get from Sonic Studio.

Edit: Actually after reinstalling Sonic Studio 3 app from the windows store again solved the issue, thank you for the suggestion!

Just wanted to let you know that installing the ROG SS3 package was NOT reversible with WIndows 10 system recovery (i created a restore point prior to installing these) , resulting in a hanging restore process trying to recover the registry.

Also it completely destroyed the calibration of my USB COBRA MK5 , Joystick (after installing the drivers , rebooting and starting Elite Dangerous my Ship was in spin that couldnt be recovered from). Thats when i tried to go back and use system recovery. I had to remove these devices, shut down, reboot ,they wouldnt show up anymore, shutdown again disconnect the devices from the computer, reboot, shutdown again, boot ,plugin joystick 1 (HOTAS X ) after desktop loaed,, shutdown, plugin COBRA MK5 (this one NEEDs to be plugged in while the system is powered off) boot, all devices work again as they should. Something with that driver install has messed with things it shouldnt mess with.

(note that both HOTAS X and Cobra MK5 do not use 3rd party drivers or software, they are supported natively by windows 10)

This is definitely the worst driver you have released so far, I did all the steps until I was able to install the drivers without the virtual mixer, but the realtek panel in the store doesn’t work with the equalizer, I did the installation clean and it still doesn’t work, you can post the link from the previous driver, I will continue using the old one until you repair the next drivers, I am on the Windows 1909 version, thanks.

It's working even in windows version 2004
So You may need to fully remove all drivers .
Thanks

I followed all the steps and it really works the way he specified, I apologize for my ignorance, now I will try a new step, however the SSVM Remover Patch link is no longer available.

[HLBROG]

I did this step, but realtek does not install, there is an error in the microsoft store when trying to install Realtek Audio Control, should I follow the step with SSVM Remover Patch?

I just wanted the drivers to work with realtek audio control with equalizer as it worked before, what should I do? I'm kind of lost here in the information.

Install/Update Process :

CLEANUP

/!\ If you already had Realtek (HD) Audio Driver, Realtek Audio Control installed /!\
Uninstall them (Start > Settings > Apps) then restart your PC
- Launch Driver Store Explorer > Check the boxes of all versions of drivers which .inf starts with (if you find them) :
a-volute | avolute | dts | hdx | realtek
- Check the box "Force Deletion" then click on the "Delete Package" button then restart your PC

INSTALL

- Launch "Install_ROG-PRIME-TUF_RTK.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > Automatic restart when install is done
- Automatic installation of Realtek Audio Control after rebooting, if not, install it manually : Link

UPDATE

- Launch "Install_ROG-PRIME-TUF_RTK.cmd" by right-click Run as admin > Automatic restart when install is done

Note : Realtek Audio Control will be updated automatically via the MS Store.

I'm curious if the latest Realtek drivers v6.0.8967.1 have been posted?

HI,

I installed the latest drivers and now I have some Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer along with my other audio devices. I have never had this before. I tried to uninstall it but It doesn't exist in the app listing or Program Files. Why it did stealth install on my comp? I think we should have a choice what to install what not. Please help me remove this Virtual Mixer thing. My mobo: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming and I installed the drivers with Install_ROG_SS3.cmd as advised. Thank You.

I use it, but i the last version, you can disable here. Once, you make these, restart the pc and on boot will be gone. I am learning to use it. since is handy. I hope works for you.
