Well, you're right! Can't explain.
But this URL seems like it is the exact page for the product's DOWNLOAD tab. Then you can specify your OS, and I think the rest of it should work.
I specified 64-bit Win7. Then expand the AUDIO item and you'll see two links, with the first one being the newer. Click on the "GLOBAL" download method, not the "Global (DLM)" which is "download manager".
Thanks for that dsperber. Got it, but no luck. Only the driver installs - not the interface.
And yes, completely uninstalled previous drivers and then did a fresh install...
Well, the skin does show the "ASUS" logo. And it's a different build number from the latest Realtek 2.70 driver on their site.
So based on your results it seems like they're also checking the motherboard itself for one of their own, before producing that alternate skin. Would at least seem plausible, since you don't have an ASUS board so it would be inappropriate to show the "ASUS" logo.
I'm tempted to try it on my other ASUS board (P5Q3) with the ALC1200 Realtek chip, currently running official Realtek 2.70.
Yup... seems like all of them check the mobo. fireberd, in the thread i pointed you too earlier, has also posted various download options. None work. In all cases, just the driver loads with the same interface as the screen shot i posted... Oh well... guess i'll have to live with it.
[QUOTE=dsperber;2271201]Well, interestingly it installed successfully on this second machine, but with the standard "skin".
Yes, the driver is definitely now the newer 6.01.6699 as shown on the ASUS site in the audio downloads for the P8Z77-V Pro board instead of 6.0.1.6662 which is the official 2.70 Realtek site driver download. And yes, the logo in the lower-left corner shows ASUS.
But the skin is still the original standard one, not the new sleek black one that showed up on my P8Z77-V Pro board with the ALC892 Realtek chip.
Oh well.
