If you install the new Windows 11 driver for the Fatal1ty z370 Gaming K6, Sound Blaster Connect does not detect the audio device and will not function. You have to install the old Windows 10 driver package, and then manually update the audi device driver in device manager if you want a working Sound Blaster Connect 5.

Thank you for the suggestion. Sound Blaster Connect is not detecting the audio device integrated in the Fatal1ty AB350 when using Windows 11. How do you manually update the driver after installing the Windows 10 driver package?

After you install the Windows 10 driver package, open Device Manager in Windows. Expand the 'Sound, video, and game controllers' section. Double click the Realtek Audio device. Go to the driver tab and select 'Update Driver'. Select 'Browse my computer for drivers', and find the Windows 11 driver package folder you previously downloaded and extracted. Click the 'Next' button, and Device manager should attempt to update your driver.
