Windows 10: Which Audio Driver(s) do I need? Details provided

Hi, I have an Asus Z390-F Gaming Motherboard. I currently got both Nvidia and Microsoft Audio Drivers installed. My question is: Do I need to install anything else? I'm extremely worried about downloading Realtek, as it messed up some of my games prior to me getting this Motherboard. I would like to know what's everyone's experience with how this driver behave in its latest version (compatibility-wise and whatnot).

Thank you in advance!

P.S I did look into the thread for Asus drivers, but it was very confusing, and I would not be knowing what I'm doing if I followed it. I wouldn't want to mess with drivers if I didn't know exactly what I'm doing and why.
