Hello,

I'm trying to manually install a driver for my audio headset, but the driver is older than the default driver installed by Windows (which is bad, as it doesn't detect the 7.1 virtualization of my headset; I can only select the "stereo" mode).
However, the official driver dates back to 2013, and the driver installed by Windows is from 2017... when I try to install the new driver via Device Manager, Windows tells me, "the best drivers for your device are already installed."

What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

Config:
Windows 10 Creators update

Uninstall the existing driver using the audio device manager, then install the old one with Slim Driver or Easy Driver software.
