I made the jump to Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and performed a new install on a SSD that I bought for the occasion. Windows 10 did an excellent job at finding everything on the motherboard including the on-board LAN and Audio connections. In the past, I would always need to download the Intel LAN and Realtek drivers from Intel's site in order to get these to work properly. So far I have been happy.

Until today when I purchased a new Logitech G930 gaming headset. After installed, it seems to have set itself as the primary device for playback and I can't seem to figure out how to get iTunes to play through the audio output on the motherboard. Before installing the G930, it was working fine.

It doesn't seem there are any Windows 10 drivers available from Intel for the DP55WB. I'm specifically looking for the Realtek drivers/software which was nice because it would detect when something was plugged into the outputs and allow you to configure that output specifically. It also had a nice interface for making adjustments to your speaker volume when setting up surround sound.

Is anyone else out there running Windows 10 on this board that could provide some feedback?

Ok. I figured out the iTunes problem. It was a setting in iTunes that I needed to change to "Direct Sound" instead of "Windows Audio" for the output.

However, still wondering if there are any Intel drivers I should be installing in Windows 10 for this motherboard. Thanks in advance.
