OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC408x).

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).

UAD 6.0.9231.1 drivers on a X470-PRO with Quadraphonic speakers (4.0) doesn't output 4.0 audio with Diablo II Resurrected. Only does 2.0/Stereo.

Uninstalling the Realtek drivers and going back to the default Microsoft ones works fine (for 4.0, I have to select 5.1 audio settings, disable extra speakers, and make sure Channel Phantoming is enabled).

The same fix above can be done with Realtek's audio drivers (from this thread) as well, and is seemingly required with true 4.0 speaker setups (front L/R, rear L/R, no sub). For Realtek, you'd select 5.1 Speaker Config, and remove (disable) the optional Center speaker. I know this affected FFXIV as well, and likely affects other games too.

To test this consistently in D2R, I went to the main menu and started the Act 1 cinematic. You should hear environmental things from the rear speakers, but no dialogue. All dialogue only comes from the front speakers (if you hear any voice from the rear speakers, you're likely upmixing Stereo).

I have 2 pairz of sub/Sats for front/rear speakers so same 4.0 setup. I use Quadrophic option in Realtek control panel and get directional sound from rear speakers. What does setting up as a 5.1 with no nlcenter or sub do for you that Quadraphonic doesn't? I treod this setup briefly but found it less appealing. If I recall I got far less rear output for many games.

using a Prime Z590-A /11700k /WiFi 6e /BT5.2
I have both the release build and the Dev build of Windows 11 installed on different M'2's on this system.
All drivers posted by MoKiChU have worked just fine for me for all devices under Windows 10, 11, and 11 Dev

Any odd behavior in Sonic Radar, Realtek Console apps or the Nahamic service worth mentioning? Also curious in case you're using 5.1 analog speakers, is there an auto fill option for when listening to stereo sources?

You have taken my response out of context.
I was replying to an inquiry about driver compatibility for Windows 11.

To answer your question directly, I mostly use HDMI from the gpu to an AVR or Displayport from the gpu to a monitor with builtin speakers.
The only scenario where I use the onboard audio is with headphones plugged into the front panel jack.
Therefore, I have no experience that directly relates to your specific inquiries.

I knew you were replying about win11 just was curious about your use and if you had any comments about that. Thanks for the reply. I'll be doing a clean install today and see how it goes.

How did it go? I'm installing Win11 tomorrow myself. Curious if there are any issues although I wouldn't assume there would be.

Everything is working fine with the specs on my profile. I used the 6.0.9231.1 drivers which were the latest. I see Mokichu posted a new version but I'll wait a few days before installing it.
