Indeed it does.
If anything, with my setup, 8642 = 8633... which is a good thing.

Interesting. Well, new Skippy build of Windows is out, so I may go ahead with the 8642 install after that is done. At least I won't lost anything.

On driver sites for ROG it goes 290, 292, then jumps to 298, that maybe the problem, it's a specific chip for the laptop, and only can be updated either at the products download page or through device manager/MS catalogue.

I absolutely *abhor* OEMs when they pull sh...stunts like this....

I don't think they do it to be pukes or anything, I think it's because the chip is optimize with the type of system build it is, and only infused with their software for that specific driver for a reason, power saving, or specific ranges for gaming(walking/gunshots...etc.)

I can see that as being the case some times. But I still abhor it.

At the time of this post, Realtek HD Audio Driver 6.0.1.8644 WHQL FF00 (Generic) was released...
I presume other updates with Nahimic, etc will also be available.

The full package contains:-

Generic
8644_FF0C_FF00_FF01_FF03_FF04_FF06_FF10_PG470_Win10_RS2_RS3_RS4_RS5_Win7_WHQL.rar
MSI

8644_UAD_WHQL_Nahimic_1300_2019_0305_132800.zip
8644_UAD_WHQL_Creative_20033_2019_0305_132920.zip
Samsung
8644_UAD_Samsung_WHQL.zip

To me 8644 sounds a bit more detailed than 8642, overall a very balanced sound
