Windows 10: Please help with Audio Driver & Software. About to Hang Myself.

Please, please, please. I just asked 3x so you know I'm dead serious. I need this software extremely badly but I can't find a copy of it anywhere. I've literally looked for days. The software is required to fully operate the audio chip that is located on my motherboard. By the way, I also need the most recent audio codec for this audio chip too which I can't find!I purposely purchased my motherboard, the Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0) because I read that the audio chip on the motherboard actually sounded better than a dedicated sound card. I bought it on this hype because some owners actually confirmed that's this was true but ONLY IF you can get it to work. Then, is sounds amazing. The problem is that the driver and sound manager software are nowhere to be found. I bought this motherboard about 3 years ago. At that time, I think I spent about 2 weeks trying to get it to work. You know the deal. You start spending hours...that turn into days...that turn into weeks. I finally had to say "Basta!" (That's Italian for enough. I don't even know Italian but it hurt so much, the word just came out.)*********************************************************************************************** ***For the past 3 years, I've been listening to audio poo poo. I've finally decided that I'm going to fix this audio problem or die trying. What I need to find:1. Realtek ALC1220 most recent driver and past drivers.2. A sound manager called Sound BlasterX 720. 3. How to install the driver and software. Supposedly, there is a particular order that makes it work. I believe (but not sure) that the order is: you have to install an older driver, then install SoundBlasterX and then the most recent audio driver.
