Just be sure to install from USB stick using Media Creation Tool so you have a Windows 1909 installer. it needs some customization to bring it back to windows 7 usability, but otherwise I think it's quite clean (using startisback++ and taskbar customizations):

So mine would be ALC1220 for example, you might be able to google your DEV & SYBSYS for more accurate identification or something.Ĭlick to expand.aw, I really like the windows 10 interface. Oh yeah, in device manager, you can right click your realtek audio codec device and go to properties -> details tab -> property: hardware ids and copy the top one, in my case I think this is the case with many motherboard solutions, so even bad measurements during time of idle load are realistically much worse.īut hey, it has an excellent SPDIF optical output that likely saves me from any possible electrical interference of my graphics card! if I just turn on auto hide taskbar, I can hear a grinding noise from my headphones every time the taskbar appears and disappears, or even when scrolling web pages. However despite those decent measurements, I can't help but hear my graphics card electrical noise through it which makes it completely unusable and drives me insane. my board for example is ASUS Crosshair VIII Impact which has an addon board DAC which is pretty impressive looking, and according to this review it is fairly good measuring for a motherboard audio solution.

I wonder how other components affect the noise/thd of onboard DACs.
