Just a quick question regarding the default audio driver Vista installs; has anyone seen a comparison done between it and drivers written specifically for your hardware?
I know a few people (some are technophobes, some "enthusiast" types) who've never installed the drivers, instead opting to use the "default" driver since it seems to work fine.
For those of us who don't require advanced audio features usually provided by the hardware-specific drivers, have any of you noticed a difference in CPU utilization, etc.? Or is this simply a case of folks being too lazy to bother?
