Because official OS support lists Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, users running newer or customised Windows releases should confirm driver availability on the ASUS support site. If you rely on a specific headset, controller or audio profile, check the device manufacturer’s requirements and update the dongle driver from ASUS if pairing or audio profile issues occur.
