I was just providing an example that I did not select the HD audio component and it said there was ' none' under the current version. If you have a 1000series or newer you don't (well shouldn't) need to install it. Used to be an issue & cause conflicts but now its all fixed & works fine if installed correctly. Note, the image I provided for the custom installation was not from my exact installer. Its a driver that output sound via HDMI & DP port on older GPU's (to monitor speakers). Anyway, after the installation I still have the Nvidia HD audio device/driver. The card will provide audio over all the video outputs (DVI, HDMI, and DP). Then browse to where you saved the.exe file for your driver and click OK. Right-click on it and select Update Driver Software. Therefore, I was hoping the Nvidia custom installation would remove the existing Nvidia HD audio device even though the installer said I didn't have one. Look for an entry called HD Audio Controller under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers. In my case, I left the HD audio and USB type C driver components unchecked.īefore I started the installation, it said there was no existing versions of the HD audio, PhysX and USB type C components.

I selected custom installation and only selected the graphics card driver and PhysX driver components.

I then installed the latest driver for my graphics card. I guess that means I had the Nvidia HD audio driver on my PC that Windows automatically provided. After the installation and running windows update, I saw that I has the Nvidia HD audio device. I recently reinstalled windows 10 (20H2) with an internet connection present.
