um... does it work out of the box?

 

You have to use the drives from the manufacture of the system.

It's a sennheiser game one headset. It has no designated drivers. I just want one so i dont have to listen to the horrible sound quality of windows 10.

It says that the audio driver is realtek which isnt compatible with windows 10. I dont see anywhere that i can get the supremeFX controllers.

So Asus gives a Realtek sound chip a fancy name, eh?  Lol.  Anyway, Realtek just released a brand new driver that is supposed to be now fully supported in W10.  Maybe it will help.

I was using 2.81. The heaphones work but it kills every single interaction with the microphone when installed.

In my last build I had a realtek sound chip in it and I got to the point I never installed the software and driver.  It would work fine, then all of a sudden would just randomly quit working.  Those older Realtek chips on older bords must have some bug in them that makes compatibility with W10 inconsistent.
