This audio stuff is some very hard to get working proper nowadays lol
I am not really a pc n00b but never had interest in audio devices they simply have to work like i want them to work.
What makes matter worse as that i do hate the silly win store crap as well it does simply has no extra benefit at all it makes it just harder to find what you need or open up what you like.

that being said i am now already busy 8 days to get the AAF driver to work with the audio device on the Asrock Z390 gaming X mobo.
All i can find about it is that its ALC 1220 device... thats it.
When i installed it a few days back it seemed to work well, and when i put the superb Anker soundcore vortex bleutooth headset on my ears i had the fantastic surround effect working perfectly.
But when gaming i have to switch to the not so great gaming headset simply because the vortex had a crappy cable microphone which got lost " Read i can't find it anymore " because after an accident my brain became mushy and i forget everything "even my ass if it was not connected to me".
Anyway now when i want to use it, i detected is that somehow even if you uninstall the AAF driver several programs still are present .. example i deleted the driver and reinstalled with the first option so the realtek control panel is back which helps me fine tune the mic.
With the other stuff its way too much hassle to get to it when the mic is messing up or some of the settings.
Now when i reinstalled i made different choices I did not like the thx stuff and choose nahimic which works much easier but to my surprise it started with my system. and seems to be still present somewhere.
the main issue is that when i use the headset i hear a echo and/or some weird crackling noise
When i restart the computer i kinda constant get one or the other or both, and sometimes it works like it should. this far when i had solved it with some settings it seemed ok untill i have to reboot or when launch one of my games it sometimes change again.
Really weird.. but to be honest i do not want to go back to the original drivers from asrock then i have totally no control left on the audio anymore that driver only uses the win 10 controls ...
which suxx so much i almost want to puke
No clue how to solve this weirdness or maybe i made wrong choices with the setup
Some of the programs whine that i do not have any hardware it can use also.
Does anyone knows if the new version is working correctly with pcm 5.1 audio and dts?
It should work but its hard to make the proper choices when installing i had in the paste my pc connected to a real 5.1 audio set and worked very well
However i have no clue if that depends on the soundcard nowdays its no longer needed to have a thousands dollars costing audio set a pc can give the same sound or at least very close near it.
What i do not know is what chip is used everywhere i look they only talk about the codec .... the rest is no longer mentioned.
