question on high definition audio driver

[rclark]

Hey,
I was just looking through my device manager in sounds and found 4 "High Definition Audio Device" drivers from Microsoft along with
my Asus Xonar DG driver at the top. Is this ok ? I am wondering if these are high definition drivers left from some NVIDIA drivers in which I accidentally had the high def.
audio drivers installed and I thought I removed them. I was going to delete these but thought I would ask before doing this, I have disabled them and this has not caused
any problems so I am wondering what they do. Under the properties tab they all say High Definition Audio Driver , Microsoft, Driver 11/19/2010, 6.1.7601.17514.
Attached a snip of what is shown in device manager below.
thanks-- rclark --

Re: question on high definition audio driver

you could create a system restore point before you uninstall the drivers,if they are needed they will simply reinstall themselves when you reboot anyway,could be needed drivers or leftover drivers from a previous install

Thanks Wazza. I don't think they are hurting the operation of my Asus sound card, I believe they are left from the nvidia HD audio driver I installed accidentally when installing a new VGA driver. I believe microsoft
slipped these in to fill the 4 spaces left from the nvidia drivers when I uninstalled from control panel.
again thanks for the feedback--rclark
