Drivers & Software

My headset microphone was working fine before I installed the newest AMD drivers for my laptop. I use Realtek's onboard audio drivers, so the AMD audio drivers are completely unnecessary. I only need the AMD graphics drivers.

Since I have no idea what your computer setup is If you have any speakers connected to AMD GPU then most likely in Windows Sound Panel that will be the Main Audio device which will automatically disable your Headphones connected to the Motherboard.

You need to go into Windows Sound Panel and make your Headphones with the Realtek motherboard Audio driver as the Main Audio Device. Then you will have audio in your Headphones again and all AMD Audio will be disabled until you disconnect your headphones from the motherboard Audio or USB port.

I have Bluetooth Headphones as my Main Audio Device in Sound Panel while my HDMI connected AVR Audio is disconnected from my GPU Card using my GPU Audio until I disconnect my Bluetooth Headphones.

I believe you can remove AMD Audio driver either thru Control Panel or disabling or uninstalling AMD Audio driver in Device Manager. But there really is no need to uninstall the AMD Audio driver.

It is just laptop ,no speakers. I already said deleting it from device manager doesn't work, either with ddu

Go to device manager and just disable it - same effect.

Are you reading what i typed? The trick doesn't do it. IT ALWAYS TURN ON BY ITSELF

[MADZyren]

Do not delete it. Disable it. Different thing.

If it actually enables itself, it is likely due to software that came with laptop. I don't see why this is important though, as you can simply choose which source you use. Unused drivers should not be a problem.

Use Amd Software Slimmer for every new GPU driver installation, and cut out packages for AMD HD Audio.

[MADZyren]

I thought about that too, but Windows would likely install drivers automatically...

The big question is, why get rid of the drivers in the first place.

[DimkaTsv]

Nah, these drivers go in complect with GPU and device AMD High Definition Audio appears ONLY after driver being installed. So they will not be installed authomatically without device existing

Also. You can always disable driver updates through Group Policies (gpedit.msc)

I meant that from Device Manager -> sound,video,game controllers ->AMD High Definiton Audio->Events it was written
[date] the device was deleted/disabled {based on what i did}
[date] device started (AtiHDAudioService)
device configured(oem44)

No idea what it means ,it was just written. I will try the gpedit.msc tho thanks
