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

[Espionage724]

I have a PRIME X470-PRO. I used "Realtek Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG/PRIME/TUF RTK MB)" (last driver without any 3rd-party drivers), and it seems fine, but is that the driver I should be using? Or more specifically, does my board have any 3rd-party stuff (NH3, DTS, SS3) implemented?

Hi,

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.

Okay thanks, what about the last one that is RTK version? Cause I dont use Sonic suite 3 software for my RIG so can i use the last one as well?

What package should I install on Strix B550-F? I tried the first one, but Audio Console and many other components couldn't be installed. I had to use the old 8999 package from support page and it also installed DTS. But I don't see DTS anywhere in the system. I'm confused.

No you can't install/use drivers package not designed for your motherboard, but know that installation of third party apps (Sonic Studio III & Sonic Radar III in your case) is not imperative with the drivers package designed for your motherboard (SS3 MB in your case).

But the driver still went in and work up using RTK version from my side, do I need to uninstall away the RTK version and install the SS3 version in my case? Just that the Realtek control on MS all along I cant install as keep getting "error" since last times already.

Hi,

ASUS made a mistake, the latest drivers package available on your support page (6.0.8971.1) is not for your motherboard but for ASUS PRIME/TUF DTS Custom motherboards.

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard, so :

Realtek should really employ all their Audio drivers in ONE package. The fact that there are different driver packages even for Asus Z490 motherboards alone is stupid.

Anyone having an issue with the last two driver versions (9008 and 9013) and the 2H20 beta release of Win 10? Seems to be a change in RTKVHD64.sys that has it crashing Windows with system service exceptions for me. I already had an earlier driver version installed and did just the update and it caused windows to crash immediately and then continually on boot because of that file, even safe mode wasn't safe. Ultimately I had to use console to delete the file directly from the drivers folder just to get the computer working again. Even tried a clean install of 9013 after, which worked, but then when splitting the front and rear audio streams in advanced options, insta-crash with the same exception. But at least it would boot fine. This was odd because the 8984 release works just fine. Something changed and this beta no likey. Hopefully they work it out soonish the beta is almost over from what I hear.

Anyone got them install on 2H20 with no issues? Maybe its just my system.

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?
