Thanks for the advice. I'm not needing to install any audio software related programs. I just need the drivers. However I've noticed you have a third party folder. Will this still be required or is it for extras. Thanks.

The audio drivers in A-Volute/ThirdParty folders are required to take advantage of all your audio features.

If you avoid install of the audio drivers from A-Volute/ThirdParty folders, you will lose the hardware audio processing performed by the third party APO (which avoids CPU resource hogging for audio processing) and you will lose the equalizer (it is by design, it's intended to work like this at least for ASUS products : If third party drivers are built-in, the equalization is done by the third party APO even if the third party app is not installed). That is why I don't recommend avoid install of the audio drivers in A-Volute/ThirdParty folders, if you don't want the third party app/features/effects, just disable the third party features/effects or don't install/uninstall the third party app.

Hello Moc. I was wondering what the difference is between the Realtek Audio and the Realtek USB Audio threads is since they both cover Intel 7xx chipsets. I have an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero and I want to know what the correct audio drivers are to install. Also, are any of the bloatware apps neccesary and any of them help in any way? Or can I just install the driver and the small realtek app and be done with it?

Hi,

The difference is the internal audio interface used. ASUS motherboards will use the USB internal audio interface for mainly 2 scenarios :

- Go beyond the limitations of the traditional audio interface (which supports up to 32-Bit/192kHz) and in order to be able to use ALC408x codec to supports up to 32-Bit/384 kHz.
- By motherboard chipset limitation in the case of AMD TRX40-based motherboards which does not allow the use of the traditional audio interface.

Also, if you wonder how to determine which audio drivers does a motherboard need, please refer to this post : [DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx & Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx).

You have an ASUS ROG SS3|DTS Sound Unbound motherboard with ALC40xx codec, so :

You need Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) 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.

You can just install the Realtek Audio Control app, but know that you will not have any EQ in it, the EQ is in Sonic Studio III app (by design).

Thank you a million, finally there is an Echo cancelling in Realtec UAD panel and (I hate headsets) there is no sound from my speakers in my mic recordings.

Hi,

Thanks for the great work with the drivers! If for some reason you stop updating, can we just use the drivers from Asus site directly or do we have to uninstall these drivers first?

Hi,

I only offer OEM original drivers, WHQL signed by Microsoft, so my audio drivers packages can update or be updated by the audio drivers packages from your motherboard support page.

If I told to new people on my audio drivers threads to follow their CLEANUP process then their INSTALL process, it is in order to start from a clean base (I don't know what kind of audio drivers they tried previously, WHQL or not, before coming to my audio drivers threads).

Hello MoKiChU,

After reading this thread I am uncertain what to do, which way to follow.
I have a ASUS Z790-A WIFI motherboard.
The "only" issue I really have problems with, is the low microphone volume.

What strategy should I follow?

Thank for your work in this jungle of drivers

Hello,
What are the correct audio drivers for the Asus x670e Crosshair Hero?

aggrophobik · Nov 4, 2023

Hope this isn't a terrible question or one that's been asked too many times. What would the differences between just installing the drivers from my mobo's manufacturer's page as opposed to following your guide and using your drivers. I have a B650E-F and don't seem to have any issues other than when I change the "Amplify Level" setting under either Speakers or headphones, it' always resets to Extreme, even tho it reads as another setting. I'm wondering if your drivers might resolve this issue? Thanks in advance for any info or help, much appreciated!
