Interesting. Does this apply to the Crosshair VIII Dark Hero? Seems like it would. Then again maybe not.
Comparing them, the Dark Hero has ROG Supreme FX7.1 Surround Sound High Definition Audio CODEC and the Crosshair VIII Hero has ROG SupremeFX8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC with DTS and ESS. On the Asus support pages, the latest Dark Hero audio driver is Realtek Audio Driver V6.0.8960.1 whereas the Crosshair VIII Hero support page lists Realtek Audio Driver V6.0.9244.1 For Windows 10/11 64-bit with Support for SS3VAC+DTSS Models.
So this means that the Dark Hero audio is inferior to the Crosshair VIII Hero? That seems odd since the Dark Hero is supposed to be a step up.

Good catch, and a valid argument. My guess is that they're still working on the next audio driver update for the Dark Hero.
Do you already have a good spatial audio solution? Maybe it's not a priority for the DH, while the CH8 actually needed this update.

Actually, these drivers used to be available on the Dark Hero drivers page (for Windows 11), but have since been removed.
See: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?127508-Dark-Hero-audio-drivers-for-Windows-11-pulled
I am still waiting for someone from ASUS to comment on this.

Using Win10 not Win11 but I've had multiple hard lockups that appear to be audio related while gaming. All since installing the (now pulled) drivers on C8DH. I can't recommend using them and I'm rolling back to the previous drivers for the time being. Can't comment on the C8H compatibility.
