Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [2]

Lol - Luckily I have both of those downloaded, and can probably set aside some time this evening to compare.

All is well

I bought a house near Stone Mountain, GA, and had the move, including packing, arranging transportation, and then setting everything up. I'm still not fully unpacked lol - but I've got all the bedrooms almost fully furnished and unpacked, and most of the main floor rooms done - still looking to get an entertainment center to house the TV and associated electronics.

Plus, I also disregarded the Cat5e runs made by the builder's electrician, as he violated several cardinal rules of running data cables, and ran my own Cat6a from the unfinished basement to the main floor, so my AT&T LightSpeed Gigabit connection would actually work well via Google WiFi Mesh on both main and second floors.

I only got this desktop set up fully yesterday, as I had to repair my computer desk as well. And I still have 6 boxes here in the media room to unpack. Lol.

I didn't forget, it was just awkward trying to keep up with the forums on the Linux laptops with a single screen, not to mention much, much slower WiFi *AND* wired connections.

But I am back - and updating everything on my system (starting with the latest WinX IP build last night).

As today is the USA National Independence Day, I have time to play - and I have tomorrow off, as well, plus the weekend of course. So *lots* of time. Lol.

Interesting.

I haven't installed anything yet, so I suppose the last time I was playing around on here I had installed this - I'm currently on 6.0.8688.1

And I have downloaded 8648, 8688, 8699, 8734 and 8742.

That test would be huge, though. Lol. But I can try.

Any of those I should remove (as in general consensus is that one or more of those are definitely sub-par)?

First of all congrats on the new house. I wish you all the best and hope you have a great time and enjoy your stay there!!!
And don't get crazy with setting up everything quickly. Take your time and enjoy every minute of it.

As for the drivers, besides the well established (and tested) 8648, IMHO 8734 is worth testing exhaustively (you know, the JG way! ) and compared to 8648.

thx! :) how do i know if my integrated sound card on my X99A mobo supports UAD?

the driver i found on asus home page for my mobo is

Realtek Audio
Audio: REALTEK HM_TUF V6.0.1.7848 2016/08/04

You can make a full system image (to rollback if you fail) and you can try UAD drivers to see if they work as they supposed to, with your system.
