The audio driver on the ASUS G752VSK download page is version 6.0.1.7960 from Nov 2016. The newest audio driver from Realtek is version 6.0.1.8186 from June 2017. The Sonic 2.4.13 software will not install with the audio driver version 6.0.1.7960. At the end of the installation process, it halts and displays message that a newer audio driver is required. After installation of the audio driver version 6.0.1.8186 (downloaded from Realtek), the Sonic 2.4.13 software will install properly. The new Sonic software actually sounds better than the earlier version.

The audio driver provided on the ASUS G752VSK download page should be updated to the newer version 6.0.1.8186 if ASUS is providing the Sonic 2.4.13 software download, then a statement must be added to also require download of the updated audio driver.

As for ASUS testing this beforehand, I can only state what I have found on my G752VSK.

It is also working on the G752VT (downloaded from here: https://www.asus.com/de/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-G752VT/HelpDesk_Download/) with the newest Realtek driver 6.0.1.8198!

The old version, delivered with my G752VT, didn't work while browsing or lisening music on youtube after the creators update. But strangly worked while gaming.
No it is woking as it should when listening music and playing games 🙂

But it seems that there is a bug. If you open the Sonic Studio and select the profile "music" or "costum", the surround button and selecting a preset at the equalizer has no function. But if you click on the equalizer button and then select one of the presets it suddenly works.

A small workaround is to select one of the other profiles "gaming" or "movie".

Even if you register a new profil (the small plus under the profile) from the faulty or the working profile the behavior will be the same. I mean if you register a new profile from a faulty one, the new one will have a none working equalizer and surround button.

What i have tried: Deinstall Sonic Studio 2, then deinstall Realtek, delete all leftovers in the registry and in "AppData" and then reinstall the Realtek driver and the new Sonic Studio 2.


Did anyone else have this effect/bug?


Best regards!

I have not been able to find a driver which works with the sonic suit in the asus g752vm page.

Could anyone please share a link to a working version?

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have followed your guide but I have this issue: As soon as I install the sonic studio suite II, I loose the sound... Actually, it works for a bit after launching windows but then it stops.

The sonic studio II from your post also install the sonic radar. I can actually access sonic radar program but the sonic studio does not open.

Any advice you could give me would be most welcome.

If you uninstall Sonic Studio II v2.4.13.0 (with Sonic Radar II), the sound works again ?

If yes, try install :

Sonic Studio II v2.2.3601.0 : https://mega.nz/#!MdVXSQ6D!F3Bt7VczvRoIMQRGqOi6Jy2ZhtJXAGtxnuv8Hb77XAw
+
Sonic Radar II v2.1.3401.0 : https://mega.nz/#!pEUWlKKK!4n4e6Pu7VL_nkzQysm2dmtSxk8Rf3M_9DgwujBPk94w

It returns but it sounds rather horrible... I will try those. Thank you very much.
