I know it`s early to ask and this is not a Win10 section ..

Xonar Phoebus sound card works just fine in Windows 10 with 2 problems. You can`t install it directly trough the Setup since it will tell you the OS is not supported. You have to use Driver Update from Device Manager and point it to the installation folder. This means you have to manually start the Asus Phoebus App to control inputs. And the second is the Dolby Home Theater app that doesn`t work at all...

I know usually with a new OS if the driver is OK you can only change a line in the INF files to be accepted by the Setup.. but i have no idea where to look and what might be the string for Win 10.

My system runs just fine Win 10 Preview except the Dolby app.. meaning you can`t use any equalizer.

Any body has any clue what to modify?

on my windows 10 system
there is
c:\windows\inf
looks like the original inf copies
and
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository
looks like the installed files

then there is the copies in the winsxs subsystem
C:\Windows\WinSxS\


I would think you could modify the version in c:\windows\inf
and use the pnputil.exe to install /remove the drivers
Note: I have not installed any 3rd party drivers yet, I want to make sure my system complains to Microsoft about the drivers so they put them in the OS so I will not have to provide them when the OS is released.
