You could try to install below driver, which is the last official Asus driver that supports Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer.

Later Asus removed Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer form all drivers, there supporter stability issue on Windows 11 and the driver crashed for many users.
Unfortunately Asus removed it Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer for all users for mall future drivers. Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer still works perfectly fine on Windows 10.

Few months later Asus supposedly added some Audio Tab in Asus Armour Crate that should be equivalent in functionality. But you need to install Armour Crate bloatware to use that audio driver extension. I'm upset by this, because I especially bought more expensive Asus motherboard wit better audio chip (Realtek 4080 USB) so that I would not have this kind of problems when new Windows version comes out.
Otherwise I could just buy a separate Creative soundcard and deal with same driver mess.

Realtek USB Audio Driver V6.3.9600.2342 For Windows 10/11 64-bit.

This driver is on your motherboard support page. I cannot post a link, since these forums have auto-moderator bots, and they automatically delete whole posts whenever I include a link.

Wesley1 s correct. Since z790 the mixer 1 is not available, 2, part of driver is on armory crate

Also read !

I posted a long comment here 3 times already but my post were deleted.
I guess some officious Admin just deletes them.

Anyway. Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer was disabled in newer driver due to alleged instability problems with Window 11.

You can either try installing old driver and maybe it will work, or you need to install Armory Crate which replaces some functionality of Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer.
The Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer still works fine on Windows 10.

the mixer is not needed. in fact is build in on w11 by default. since z790 has more integrated on armory crate, that works ok. since is just a link to windows. Since W10 is almost EOL, any fixies rework will not happens. I use z690 and i have it disable also. since windows 11 does that native
