Audio Driver on NF4

[inveterate]

Yo, I installed the Audio drivers that was on my DFI CD as part of the Nvidia system drivers. But there's also this Realtek driver thing, should I proceed to install that one as well?, or should i pick one above the other...??????

The realtek driver is the audio driver, the board uses a realtek sound chip.

then, why does nvidia install it's own thing???

You can always uninstall the nVidia audio driver if you want to,

but I've had very good experience using this driver in place of

the Realtek audio driver, as my CPU utilization went down from

around 18% to about 7%, so all's good.

The soundcard on my a8n-sli deluxe doesn't work when I'm only using the drivers from nvidia... WHY!?
