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

[mrunderwonder]

Whenever I try to install any driver after version 9003.1 I have a blue screen ''SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION ( RTKVHD64.sys )'' when restarting the computer. And sometimes windows corrupt in an irrecoverable way , tried all after 9003, clean and update !

You can recover windows by using the recovery console under advance options. It's like using the old DOS console. Use the console to navigate to the windows/system32/drivers folder on whatever drive letter you have windows installed on. Once there use the "dir" command to list the files in the folder, you should see RTKVHD64.sys in the list. If its not then you are not using the right drive letter. Once you find it use the "delete" command on the RTKVHD64.sys file. Then the "dir" command after to verify it was deleted. It should no longer be in the list. Use the "exit" command to leave the recovery console and then reboot. Windows should boot-up fine but you will need to uninstall the realtek/avolute drivers with driver store explorer.

For more information on using the recovery console just search "recovery console commands" on google.

Hi, thanks for the guide! I have the x570-E gaming mobo, I've installed the latest version from Asus' site that I guess is wrong.
Then I got the 2nd link's driver and installed it correctly following your guide, with the asus' driver from mobo site i couldn't get Studio & Radar to work at all, now with the 2nd like from first post studio works perfectly but radar crashes/closes right after I've opened it.
Now I am not using it, but it used to work! Did I pick the wrong driver maybe?

Forgive me but I didn't see a reply to this.
I am now running the latest version of the driver from the 2nd link in the 1st post.
Sonic Studio III works like a charm, Radar III crashes as soon as it starts.
But my biggest problem is that with any driver that IS for this mobo (x570-E) every program or app I try to open (or maximize from the tray for the first time, after the first time, they open fast), delays very very very much!
When I had the wrong driver from Asus' site, everything was opening the instant I clicked on them, to the point I thought I had a new pc! But couldn't get Studio and Radar to run at all!
Now weather I try the original driver from Asus or any of the drivers here, I get this annoying delay when opening...everything!

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.

In addition, in order to fix your slowness issue :

- 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, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process

I have done that minus the cleanup tool, I will re-do the whole process and report back! Thank you!

That seemed to have done the trick! Thank you very much!
The only difference is that I've used the SS3 tool.
For the new driver, I shall only run the update procedure right?

Thanks Mokichu, so far so good on my rig

At the risk of betraying my lack of technical expertise, I 'd like to ask why these updates come so frequently. What's the best strategy on updates? Installl them all as they come out, or, once you've found a stable one, just stick with it?

Thanks.

As long as I can remember (since back in early pre-SP1 Vista days), I don't recall ever seeing an audio driver update actually do anything. Sound still came out the speakers the same way it did before; not worse nor better. Even on my current PRIME X470-PRO motherboard, I haven't seen any driver "update" do anything, regardless of where it came from (this post, MUC, ASUS). I don't use any software EQ though, so it's possible drivers really only affect that.

In my case, I keep updating just to know I have up-to-date drivers
