Cannot uninstall onboard audio drivers

Hey guys,

I have this new PC with an HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card. I have installed the drivers for the card and all is well. However, the old onboard audio drivers are still there. When I try to uninstall them via the device manager, they come back at reboot. How can I get rid of those? Here are some screenies:

I'd like to get rid of this:

And this:

There's also nothing in the Add/Remove Programs related to those. What could I do? I also deactivated the onboard audio in the BIOS.

Thanks!
 
Hmmm, looks like it was enabled in the CMOS. Now I did disable onboard audio, and now the one in the first screenshot with the yellow interrogation mark is gone, but the ATI Function Driver keeps coming back. What can I do?

Clean install of Windows 7. Trust me, you can uninstall it, somehow.

It re-enables itself on startup :(

are you sure you are clicking on "Disable" and not "Uninstall" ?
and/or are you sure that you are saving the changes you made in the BIOS before rebooting?

Strange problem. How about some more information about your motherboard??
 
If you have a newer ATI video card this is the HDMI driver for your video card. There is no way to completely disable it as it is part of your video card. Some onboard chipsets from ATI/AMD have this as part of video and sound, and yes, you can disable that in the bios, but if you have a separate newer ATI video card, you cannot "Turn this off........" The drivers for it usually get updated if you update your chipset drivers from AMD or use the REALTEK HDMI driver updater.

The driver is harmless and wont interfere with your sound card. Be sure to go to control panel, and then to sound and make sure your sound card is chosen as the default device.

Cheers,
