Okey dokey.


Other than that, removing the devices from the device manager should
be enough.


I'm not very registry savvy, but I'm 'hearing about' devices being
registered in the PnP enumerator subtree; and I'm wondering if I need
to go in there to trim that Realtek stuff out.

Thanking you for hanging in here with me.


Hi,

I'm not registry savvy either, especially on systems I haven't seen or
worked on, but I've changed countless audio devices and haven't had to
go there to get a different one to function. Before tinkering around
with the registry, I would get the audio up and running, then consider
pruning the registry of "unneeded" entries. But before you do that, post
your question here regarding cleaning out the registry, there are many
people here who are much more qualified than me to give advice on that.
For now, just let the sleeping dog lie there.
