Trying to make sense of ASUS and all the updates they apparently added to my Maximus X code support page this week. I use the term loosely, since the ROG forum has versions more current than the ones they posted, with April dates... In looking at the audio driver, they posted a massive file out of nowhere that has mention of DTS, which I didnt think this board could do. Can someone peek into the new file and see if they can make heads or tails of it? Just extra bloat? Just compare that with the previous version they had on there...
I'm currently running 8648 with nahimic integration, just not using sonic bloat or any of that.

edit: I wonder if theyre resigning drivers due to the shaddow hammer malware debacle?

I have the same motherboard as you, I have installed the latest version of the drive that is at the asus on the page, you can not activate DTS and have no equalizer on the digital output side.
On the speakers side you can use sonic studio and sonic radar,for me UAD version is ok if you can not activate DTS!
It's placebo. There is nothing that would make two browsers sound different. They don't have any sort of Audio Enhancement layers or crap of the kind.
The leaked Chromium Edge is equivalent to uhh, idk, Chrome Canary? Peep the code and find what they've changed that can prove this. (The counter-argument that MS supposedly implemented sound-code shenanigans is invalid.)
Honestly, I feel like most people here claiming audio differences between driver versions are literally making stuff up out of placebo. There is never any "scientific" proof of change. It's quite bizarre.
You obviously have no idea what your talking about.
Browsers do sound different on how they play a compressed file, just like the different media players do, and there is a lot more going on in the background during playback(specially on Youtube) that is being done.
Depending on how well everything is implemented, it affects the sound quality.
Yes the new Edge uses Chromium as it's base, but it is not Chrome.
Microsoft has already started to bloat it.
I am just glad we have all you audiophile youngins around to geek all this, my ears are too old to hear the differences.
