On main asrock website there is a link about windows 8.
ASRock windows 8 Micorsite
Under MB compatible list, there is not even a single mention of Z68.
But I believe at some time later they surely will put out the drivers for them.
If not, this is my last deal with asrock for sure.
Coming from Z68 pro3 gen3, I do not have any problem with my audio, I did not even have to install any of the audio driver.
Also fatalitiy and pro3 both use Realtek ALC892 so you shouldn't have any problem.

I see what there trying to get us to do, They want us to go out and buy there next product HELL with it Asrock Support your customers and they maybe next time upgrade due we will spend on you again. The support Asrock is giving right now about Windows 8 drivers is a joke.

I have to agree. Not much more than a year out from these z68 boards to have no ongoing support makes one hesitant of future purchases. Do you have not have any legacy software support teams? I hesitate to even call a board this new "legacy". You need to communicate with the customer by posting information on your website, it shouldn't be like pulling teeth. If this site is going to act as surrogate support then have someone answer basic questions.

I has noticed that some of the win8 software/drivers used on newer model boards seem to be compatible with these z68 boards. for example I was able to use newest releases of FastUSB and ASMedia to enable some features on my fatality board.
