Hardware requirements (AMD - sTRX4) : ASUS ROG/PRIME motherboards with AMD TRX40 chipset.
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG motherboards with Intel 5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx series chipsets with ALC40xx codec.
Note : In order to know which drivers package to use, match the audio specifications of your motherboard with the apps or ask me.
TIPS :
If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore
Use Driver Store Explorer (Right click on "Rapr.exe" > Run as administrator).
If you want better interrupts delivery latency
Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with
MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_Mode_Utility_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).
If you experience crackling, popping, audio stutter
Disable hibernation (Fast Startup included).

MoKiChU, thanks for maintaining this thread!
I have a problem with not detected front panel audio jack. Standard troubleshooting (with disabling "detection of front panel" in realtek audio console) didn't help.
Neither did simple update of drivers from official site or from here.
Do you think i shall try full delete-and-install process as you describe here (with removing asus rog/realtek software)? Or maybe other thoughts?.. ASUS support wasn't helpful(

Also on the hardware side (given that the front panel is made/designed by the manufacturer of your case), check all the wiring from your 12-1 pin Audio Front Panel header (AAFP) port on your motherboard going through your front panel to your audio equipment (speakers/headset/headphone). Also, check which type of 3.5mm jack supports your front panel and which type of 3.5mm jack you are looking to connect (if they are different you will need an adapter).
Note : Please indicate your motherboard (either in your post or fill in your PC Specs : https://rog.asus.com/forum/profile.php?do=editprofile).
