Realtek or nVidia sound drivers??

[danhasmail]

Hi,
I'm doing a complete reinstall of win 7 64bit on this ASUS Rampage 3 Extreme and i see that the Asus CD installs Realtek sound drivers and the CD from my MSI 470 video card also installs nVidia sound drivers. They both show up in Device manager under Sound: 4 lines say nVidia and 1 line says Realtek, also there's 1 line that says Microsoft HD Audio device and 1 line says Ultravision which is my mic. My question here is....which is better?? They don't show any conflicts. And how do i know which one my music is using??
Any info on this is greatly appreciated.
Live long and prosper.

Just install the one, there's no use having two of them on there. Silence one of them and play music, then silence the other and unsilence the first. Check if they both control your master audio and if they do, just uninstall either one of them. Unless you've got a complex sound set-up it doesn't really matter.
