There's an announcement about the maintenance downtime on the VC&G forum.

Its an audio driver linked to the display output(s).

The driver is only needed if using audio over HDMI connection. If using only the motherboard's audio for output, then it won't matter if the nVidia audio driver is installed or not.

Won't you see one of those dreaded yellow triangles if you don't install the driver?
