We do not know how good Arrow Lake will be for Kontakt.

Plug the USB audio interface in the ASRock orange/yellow USB port and in the
other USB orange/yellow port plug the mouse.
ASRock Lightning Gaming USB ports are good for USB audio Interfaces and DACs.

Do not forget to first update the motherboard BIOS.

In the BIOS do not forget to set the FANS to PWM.
The latest chipset driver

The latest LAN driver, it is called "Win11 Auto Installation Program (NetAdapterCx) - Not Support Power Saving"
https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=584
The GPU driver
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/am ... s-drivers/
Can install the driver only without the bloatware.

You do not need to install anything else!
As you have an audio interface, disable the onboard audio.
Maybe you will need to manually tweak some settings for it to boot at 5200MHz.
IF it is the case, in the BIOS set:
Dram DQ drive strengths = 48
Processor ODT impedance = 48
Processor DQ drive strengths = 34.3
Processor CA drive strengths = 30
Dram ODT impedance RTT_NOM_RD = RZQ/5 (48)
Dram ODT impedance RTT_NOM_WR = RZQ/5 (48)
Dram ODT impedance RTT_WR = RZQ/2 (120)
Dram ODT impedance RTT_PARK = RZQ/6 (40)
Dram ODT impedance DQS_RTT_PARK = RZQ/6 (40)
VDDIO Voltage (VDDIO_MEM_S3) = 1.30
DRAM VDD Voltage = 1.250
DRAM VDDQ Voltage = 1.250
VDDP Voltage = 1.000
SoC/Uncore OC Voltage (VDD_SOC) = 1.200
IF VDD_SOC = 1.200 does not work, try 1.250
To test the RAM/memory controller use 3 cycles of y-cruncher tests 17/18/19/20.
