how to unistall nvidia hdmi audio so my mb sound works again

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

installed my new card and I didnt know i wasnt supposed to install the hdmi audio drivers. How do I safely uninstall the nvidia hdmi audio?

Uninstall all of it and reinstall without, or just disable the HDMI audio in the control panel.

k im just going to uninstall everything tried the second option already

You may want to use DDU then to ensure it's all properly removed.

tried just uninstalling hdmi audio from the app catalog didnt change anything. This feels like apple plantation bs. You have to do things one way only their way.

The HD audio driver is for audio through the GPU (HDMI/DP). This should not prevent other audio outputs from working.

What you need to do is go into your playback options and reselect your desired audio output.

It took away all my playback options except for 4 nvidia hdmi audio options that I can "disable". Windows repair cant fix it. I reinstalled saberttoth audio drivers no effect.

HD audio drivers are completely separate and have nothing to do with onboard audio drivers.

You are looking in the wrong direction. You need to back step and find out what went wrong.

First off, update all drivers. Even go for a BIOS update. Could very well be having driver conflicts and incompatibility. Also, be sure your OS is completely up-to-date.

I am in the process of ddu right now, after restart my audio is still showing 4 hdmi only options. The only thing I did was install the driver for my new 1070 and didnt know i had to uncheck hdmi audio option.

you do not have to uninstall it

right clik on your speaker icon

select playback devices

select all the Nvidia HDmi ones

select disable

make sure your preferred device = enabled

= DONE

You don't have to uncheck it. It is a driver to allow for audio through the GPU. That's it. Nothing more. It will not do anything to drivers for another device.

As I said before, update the rest of your motherboard drivers, as well as do a BIOS update. Ensure that the OS is completely up-to-date.

I believe you are messing something up with the onboard driver, possibly trying to install the wrong driver, or not looking in the right place for Playback settings.

update: went to device manager, uninstalled all hdmi audio drivers, this stopped the 4 nvidia ones from showing up in audio options. now reinstalling saberttoth 990fx audio drivers. Will get back to you on this in a minute

nVIDIA DRIVER WILL AUTO INSTALL HDMI audio and push the sound to your monitors speakers

select custom inatsll all the time

after running DDU

also do not install Nvidia 3 d vision .. you dont need it

its for use with the Nvidia 3 d vision glasses and kit .. do you own those ?

and do you have a supported 3 d vision supported monitor .. probably not .. its driver bloatware .. do not install it if ya can not use it

geforce exp ? do you really need it .. nope
i never install that crapware

whgen i install my Nvidia drivers i use a custom install (after runing DDU in safe mode of course )

and only install the driver and control panel

and i do install HDMI audio .. but disable it till i need it in case a wanna watch a movie on my other screen an HDTV and have my sound go to my Tv's speaker setup )

and PhySX

the rest = bloat to me ..since i do not own Nvidia's 3 d vison glasses and i can set up my in game video setting the way i want the game to look and run on my own

as far as video game recoriding .. there are better options then shadow play ..plus i have no intrest to record my game play anyway .. so yea geforce exp = MORE Bloat I DO NOT NEED

Thanks for help, its fixed.

for anyone that is curious:
1. uninstall all audio drivers from your device manager, rescan for hardware changes
2. reinstall your mother board audio drivers
3.restart

Ill uninstall that 3d vision stuff too thanks for the tip

The HD audio driver will not prevent other audio. In many people's setups, they have multiple audio output options... all with their own drivers. Personally, my main gaming PC has all kinds of audio drivers for different devices. HD audio driver, onboard audio driver, several external DAC drivers..

I sincerly suspect user error in some form, especially with how you are completely glossing over advice that does not line up with what you believe is the issue.

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

I understand what you are getting at, I run only external speakers through audio port, my monitor does not do built in audio speakers so it doesnt apply to me. The 4 nvidia hdmi playback devices show up in my mixer so thhey are there if i ever get a good tv or something
