ASUS ROG Motherboards are famous as hardware with best onboard audio card.
SupremeFX is was excellent and before 5 years but last 3 years evolve lot and now give even better sound quality.
Best what customer can get from onboard card.

Did you tried both version of driver from download page for your motherboard?
Some software as Driver Sweeper and Driver Cleaner have option to clean traces from Realtek Audio after uninstall and before install other driver.
When you install driver you should open Supreme FX Manager and choose there your type of speakers and other settings...
Software is similar as this

If you still have problem as distortion, cracking or some similar audio problems I would try with driver for Windows 7 x64bit on differnt OS.
I tried before 2-3 months SupremeFX 2014. I installed Realtek Audio Driver from page for my motherboard start ASUS Setup he install everything.
I opened SupremeFX software and change speaker configuration and didn't had any sound problem.

But if your problem continue if you plan to stay on onboard solution not Phoebus or Sound Blaster Z or ASUS Strix Soar than maybe is time to call service and met them with audio problem. If they replicate problem and motherboard is culprit they will replace you board.
Supereme FX is for me very good for some period before customer decide how good sound want.
When you used on dedicate sound... and 100-120$ solutions are absolutely enough except for people with 500-600$ worth sound system, than you can't back any more on Onboard sound. Some good Sound cards cost 150-160-170$ with some unnecessary things...Xonar Phoebus and Sound Blaster Zx example. But same cards could be bought for 80-120$ only without control modules, Phoebus Solo and Sound Blaster Z.

thanks both of you guys for responding to my question !

i just trying to install the driver on asus.com web site and i just dono what was that driver version cause one latest driver published on asus web site 4 days ago and im not sure witch of them installed right now !
whats the DMG CABLE ? please explain !

superemfx is awesome and agreed with you but ! i think problem comes from realtek and i think its not about mobo hardware and should be the software conflict or driver issue !

searching the web and found a solution with uninstalling REALTEK HD AUDIO AND HD DIGITAL AUDIO then installing realtek only with *.ini and disabling monitor hdmi audio and disabling hd digital audio from device manager !

seems problem is gone !
and sonic suite work correctly !
i should mention that , installed realtek audio driver without runing the setup !
the setup package would installing realtek hd audio driver + sonic radar + sonic suite + patch !

The Realtek Driver Setup works fine for me. It must have been an issue with your particular Windows install or something. Nevertheless, I'm glad you managed to solve your problem.

problem is back 😞

i hate asus 😞

update to latest bios version (1202 ) and problem is gone 😉
enjoy your superb sound card :cool:
i love asus 😛

ikaros007, I have the same exact issue. All components tested, fully working on another Z170 board. Speakers, GPU, CASE, PSU, all tested and work perfect on my previous build.

Never had this audio issue before. Always have used Asus motherboards.

An Asus rep is getting back to me tomorrow, supposedly, and spoke with the technical guys over the weekend. He is aware many are getting audio issues.

Windows default audio drivers work 100% though.

Will post further info if it's note worthy tomorrow. I also may swap boards for the Hero Alpha, since it's coming out soon, I think.
Z790 Asus Hero Maximus on 0816 BIOS (0914 and 1202 crashes for me on XMP I), Intel 13900k stock clock, Asus 4090 Strix OC edition, FF3D532G720 Teamgroup Ram running XMP I, 16gb x 2, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB x 2, Seasonic VERTEX GX 1200W, Win 11 Pro 64, Deepcool LS720 AIO, NZXT H7 Flow. Comfortably using Armoury Crate for updates/fan xpert.

Try with installing new fresh of windows 10 enterprise + latest updates ( drivers ) also ( an important critical windows update ,500mb ) ,
Do not installing any drivers , sound , chipset , sata , ,,, from cd or asus website ,
Do not installing IME ،
Do not installing Ai Suite I II III

Use adaptive voltage ,
Downgrade any of overclocked parts to normal ,
Use xmp profile for memory modules ( i mean do not using voltages )

Everything default ,

In this condition you ll not feels any issue ,
