    I definitely want something more comfortable than my current laptop so I'm looking for something that has good efficiency. The lighter and thinner the better but noise is of course a factor too. I have a desktop for my main gaming machine. My laptop is just mainly for chilling in bed and gaming...

    Are you sure the Asus models can cope? The scar seems to have issues (although it is the Intel version) https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/asus-scar-16-i9-13980hx-rtx-4080.320469/post-5220251 When you say 'listed here', where is this list? Sadly XMG is European. Not sure what service...

    Realtek HD Audio Drivers + Sound Blaster X-fi 5.1 Pro Surround with full Dolby & DTS.

    thanks. Now I have it working I think. Before there was a home theater app in the start menu, now there's only Dolby profile, but it works and home theater is running in the system tray. Dolby Atmos for games is also working. Using the latest apo_driver v2.76 I was able to unlock windows store...

    Realtek HD Audio Drivers + Sound Blaster X-fi 5.1 Pro Surround with full Dolby & DTS.

    thanks for this great mod. Such a selection of apps. When I try to install using instructions, I never get a working setup. This is my current error: I have tried manually installing different apps. I have tried different selections in apo installer. I have imported config into fx...
