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

Hi MoKiChU, thx for the Realtek audio driver updates.

[qlfenv]

6.0.9049.1 finally stopped the NAHIMIC component update and now no more stutters on my Z390. And the sound is so much louder on extreme.

Another great update, thank you MoKiChU

After one of the latest updates there's a process "asusns.exe" starting at every Windows start.
It looks somehow connected to Sonic Studio, it's located in %LOCALAPPDATA% and in its folder there's the following files: a_heartbeat, a_queue, asusns.exe, NhNotifSys.dll.
I tried to remove it but it came back, now I've tried to remove the registry key that contained "asusns.exe", it was somewhere in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

I do not use neither of the Sonic applications so I didn't install any of them, I only installed Realtek Audio Console.
Was it safe to remove that and how to may be exclude it from the installation at all?

P.S. Using the UAD - ASUS ROG SS3 MB version as my motherboard supports SS3.

Thank you MoKiChU for your hard work and updates and not just audio drivers. STAY WELL!

Just want to make a post appreciating Mokichu. An actual god send and the hero of ASUS drivers. This dude actually doing the company a huge favor by supporting mobos like this. Thank you Moki for the continued support.

Sorry if this is a noob question but are these drivers for people who just want the realtek driver and not the bundled bloatware of sonic studio/radar?

What drivers should I get for the Crosshair X570 Dark Hero?

Thanks for this! I did cleanup and reinstallation of the drivers as you mentioned, but I still couldn't get the SS3 to work. The audio works when I untick the enhancements in the sound settings. Any tips on making this work again? I'm using a ROG Crosshair VIII Impact, btw.

Hi,

If you don't want Third Party drivers (but the equalizer in Realtek Audio Control/Console will not work), delete the ThirdParty folder from your drivers package folder (AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x) then 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 (always by deleting the ThirdParty folder).

Hi,

You both 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.


Note @Thrill4 :

- If you don't want Third Party apps, just don't install them or uninstall them (for those that install automatically).
- If you don't want Third Party drivers (but the equalizer in Realtek Audio Control/Console will not work), delete the ThirdParty folder from your drivers package folder (AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3-DTS_MB_v6.0.xxxx.x) then 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 (always by deleting the ThirdParty folder).

Note @vulcanmist : Take into account the OS requirements from the first post of this thread :

OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit 1803/RS4/17134.x or more recent (20xx/VB/1904x.x or more recent for some Third Party drivers).
