Realtek HD Audio Manager

[bigdogchris]

There has got to be a way to install the drivers for my audio without installing this. I could have 8GB of ram and still don't want to allow 17MB for this stupid control panel. I'm quite happy with the windows sound manager. I don't want to block the start up either.

Is there a way to use the new driver without having this installed?

I did a normal install and I am only useing 6,324k for the volume panel. I got some items useing over 33,000k (xfire) so thats the least of my worries.
Sorry I can't help ya.

I just went into software explorer in windows defender and removed it from the start up list. It's not even listed in msconfig anymore (yah!)
