I just want to be clear on something before I do a fresh re-install Windows 10 Pro 64. I just built a new gaming rig a few weeks ago. I have been having some sound crackling noise while in game AND, my VoiceAttack software prompts me on every use it that “Nahimic” has been detected, and cause conflicts.
I have been digging to find out what the problem is and my research as led me to it being associated with my Audio drivers and Sonic software. When I installed Windows 10 Pro 64 initially, I let Windows update install as many drivers as it wanted too, then I proceeded to install ASUS Drivers from their website. Chipset/Audio/WIFI & Blue tooth.
I want to now do a fresh install of Win 10 Pro 64. I read through the 1st page of this thread, and I want to make sure I understand something before I go through the hassle. I will install Windows 10 Pro, then I should install an Audio driver 1st before I allow Windows 10 Updates to try and install something I don’t want, and what I should install 1st is the Audio driver on the 1st page so I don’t get all of that Bloatware and I don’t get that “Nahimic” installed? Is that all I really need to do for Audio drivers? And is the correct file:
Realtek USB Audio Drivers (UAD - ASUS ROG SS3-DTS) :
Drivers : 6.3.9600.2355 WHQL [09/03/2023]
