I guess its plug and play thing but its also how windows audio suffers because the best drivers aren't always used. This is not new behaviour from windohs but considering how restrictive all the controls are for apps being run from "unknown" developers how come hardware can still install itself silently? I guess there is a "call" for audio service with HDMI but its annoying and I have twenty disabled or unsused audio devices because they self-install redundantly if I disable ot uninstall- they come come back- when they dont even need to exist. So how do I get control over that? Half the battle here is getting my PC to wprl as intended and then prevent ms/windoohs from rolling back or modifying things with no prompt or warning. I even added the cabs/color profiles for the drivers (one dell, one Viotek) but its always seems to revert back to genneric.But windows keeps installing Nvidia and the monitor as audio devies even though I am unchecking them and not installing the audio drivers. Why anyone would run audio through their monitor? In fact, even though this is a new product (lots of features etc) manager sees it as a generic p-n-p. It has volume controls and lots of HDMI ports.

I have a new monitor that does not have speakers. Basically my PC is an ugly duckling but its still better than nothing. My PCIe is rated at 3 but only running at 2 and it has somethhing to do with the C600 chipset. I am (almost)certain the constant changes are a windows permission/exclsuive application control. This is much better and worth the hassle. The ONLY reason to keep trying for Creative is for games. The Realtek ALC892 codec sounds OK sometimes with standard MS drivers its just that your "basic" version works 100X better even without any extra suites. In my case the X79 motherboard was a transitional platform officially released for Windows 8.1. I know it is probably impossible to make some legacy hardware work well with Windows 10 "closed garden" driver environment. If anyone has links explaining how windows allows function s to call and take control of audio let me know. I was frustrated but not with your work, just windows. My feeling is that all this is some kind of control/permission problem related to competing audio devices self-installing and trying to become default communication devices. I will reinstall (clean with DDU) then immediately run patch. Then after reboot it showed dicconnect error so I ran the config a few different times to no avail.
