If it's for the asrock board in your specs, you have the latest driver.

ASRock > B360M Pro4

Your link refers to codecs. yours uses the Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec

If you were on 10, you could. they're the right codecs. you're on 11 so i wouldn't bother as they show compatable for 7/8/10 only

okay someone said on windows ten forums this

NONE. Do not install audio drivers from realtek.com - they are superold 6.0.1.8186 from 2017 (it's in the readme file ).

Update using my sticky tutorial from this subforum.

this was from sandyt on tenforums
