Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [3]

No, because your OEM motherboard driver (specifically the extension inf) determines which software components are installed.

Most motherboards install only 3 software components (i.e. without realtek asio software component). So most people cannot install realtek asio.

Same thing for APO vs APO2. Your OEM motherboard realtek driver must be specified to install APO2 in order to get the APO2 software components. If your motherboard specified the original APO, then you are getting 11.0.6000.1096.

So if your motherboard didn't come with realtek asio, it is highly unlikely that 2 years after you bought the motherboard that they would give you an extra feature for free. But it is possible, that's why I told Michel86 to update the extension inf. But I would assume that 99.9% extension inf updates are just adding new computer model's hardware id's.

How do you find an updated extension inf? From related product lines. If you bought a 2020 Asus TUF motherboard, then look at 2021 Asus TUF motherboard --- and look at the extension inf to see if you have a matching hardware id in the extension inf.

Which is why I have repeatedly stated that ANYONE can recreate MokiChu's Asus realtek driver packages themselves and be 3 weeks behind.

What's the first thing you see on the Asus front webpage, new Asus models. New Asus models means new realtek drivers. New realtek drivers means new extension inf and new SS3/Dolby/DTS components. It's absolutely child's play to recreate the rest of mokichu's driver package (minus the 3 weeks behind in MUC driver).

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE TO ?https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...22h2+usb+media

Your motherboard comes with a realtek USB audio chipset --- which means that it uses the USB data link to talk to the CPU. And your driver starts with 6.3 series and is completely incompatible to the normal computer.

Normal computer comes with realtek hd audio chipset --- which means that it uses the intel hd audio data link to talk to the CPU. Those drivers starts with 6.0 series and is completely incompatible to your computer. Before the Intel HD Audio data link standard, there was Intel AC97 audio data link.

There is also a 3rd realtek series of audio driver --- they use the MIPI Alliance (Nokia and other mobile phone makers) Soundwire data link to talk to the CPU. So these audio chips are designed for cell phones and ultra-low power devices. Again they are completely incompatible with the other 2.
