@@silfrido1768 I had constant blackscreens with my 3090 when I built my PC almost 4yrs ago. I randomly found out this suggestion from someone on a forum to turn off Nvidia HD audio and it solved all my freezing and issues. It's really good advice.
Thank You!!! I've been having a stuttering issue with my laptop's RTX 4060 while playing GTAV with the FiveM app. I couldn't figure it out - I'd clear my cache, check my settings, turn on/off the MUX switch - couldn't get it to stop. This video helped me to clear all of the stuttering up. It's gone and the game runs as smoothly as it should with an RTX 4060, I9-14900HX with 32GB of RAM. Relieving the 4060 of the audio processing was just what my laptop needed. Thank you, again.
@@Mad-MantaGaming Not to push an app on you, but, have you tried Advanced Systemcare? With it, you can easily adjust your startup programs, fix registry issues, clear RAM, etc. It's what I use, it really helps. The free version is great.
@@Mad-MantaGaming Hey pro tip for GTA (I have 5000 hours) the game always stutters until you alt tab or change a graphics setting at least once. Usually alt tabbing is enough to fix it. Had this issue on every system I've played the game on and its still a thing now
Also another fix would just not be to install the driver for it. Nvidia allows you not to install it. I usually just install the Nvidia driver and Physx is all. Using the custom installation and not select the HDMI audio driver
Total agreement, I also use custom install and just get the driver and physx if required. The USB and audio are better left with the motherboard drivers, and as for GForce Experience, don't like it and don't use it.
Thank you!!!! This appears to be the magic setting i was looking for!!!!! ...at least on the Borderlands 3 and Cyberpunk benchmark tests. I bought a 4070 Super and it had higher framerates than my 3070, but everything was suddenly stuttering. Wiped the drivers with DDU and reinstalled, tried several other things... no luck. But this did it!!
Someone who knows what theyre talking about and doesnt just say use ddu and reinstall drivers. Love how you know why the problem is happening in order to fix it.
Thanks! This trick seems to solve my latencymon poor performance results. I also had some terrible Nahimic (A-Volute) audio post-processing drivers/software installed that was introducing a noticeable audio lag in video reproduction (sometimes though). I've found a very useful Reddit post about a permanent removal of Nahimic as it's persistent like it's malware... BTW, I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 2021 (5800h+3070). Love your content! Keep 'em coming!
I have similar Laptop and I uninstalled the Nahimic drivers, they seem to have a real bad reputation, and they also have some Telemetry built in. and people say the sound is actually WORSE with Nahimic than without, so just get rid of this crap. I think there's not even a proper uninstall for them, so you will have to remove them by hand, disable the service, disable the device, etc...
DUDE!!! you are an absolute godsend. I have been working with a dead laptop while in the process of building a pc and working on my financial situation. This dropped my GPU usage on my gaming laptop so significantly that it went from 40-55% usage to 0% just from audio alone. I had no idea this was sucking all my power because I assumed the GPU was for graphics only and not HD audio... Again, thank you. you saved me so much money and time.
Finally! Someone who understands that graphics cards are for graphics and not for sound. It's been years that I haven't installed Nvidia's sound drivers. People need to stop choosing Express setup when updating their Nvidia drivers. No need for sound drivers, or the PhysX or even the GeForce experience software. Learn to tweak your graphics card.
thanks, i also played a game which runs smoothly at 80-90 fps then it drops to 30fps when you zoom in (shooter) and the suggestion i got on the web is setting a fps limit, which helped fix it. I'll try your advice too!
Man I’d love to see more videos like this, maybe more guides on driver conflicts? Just boosted my 3080 10GB by 7-10 fps in MW2. 218 consistently on the in game benchmark.
For so many years I have had this issue and I did so many things but it never occurred to me that it was always about that damn sound driver that my GPU used. Thank you so much. Genuinely thank you so much for finally getting to the bottom of this issue.
Thank you, you are a life saver, mine was running normally before, until suddenly my gpu usage keep hitting 100% and massive stuttering, then i found your video, no more stuttering anymore!
was playing pubg, my game was stuttering i searched for fix and came across alot of different fix and settings, but this one literally fixed it all, thanks alot and respect
I just disabled it on my 3080 10GB and ran Timespy on 3DMark and it comfortably beat all my old score and finally brought me above the average score for my hardware, instead of being below it since I got my PC. Gonna test it in games later. I also have NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM), no idea what it is, but I didn't disable it, only disabled NVIDIA High Definition Audio.
From what I could find on Google, this came up: "NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device will be used if you want to connect your computer with NVIDIA SHIELD module or to another output component with speakers. That is, the driver is necessary for the system to establish a connection with the audio device connected via the HDMI port (connected to the graphics card). If your computer hasn’t installed the virtual audio component, there will be no audio in the output of the HDMI."
Continued: Whether to uninstall NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) driver depends on your usage. As mentioned, you need to leave the component alone when connecting your computer via the video card’s HDMI to another device or SHIELD TV. This won’t cause any damage. If the HDMI of your graphics card is connected to a monitor without speakers and you don’t want it, removing NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device doesn’t make an impact. If the monitor has speakers, you cannot remove it since the audio cannot be transmitted.
this guy might actually be the goat, went from 80ms frame time to 11ms frame time and a 100fps increase in cs2 from this fix. Can't believe it actually worked lmaoo
Bruh... That happen to me and migrate to Linux and my RIG worked flawlessly, I learn a lot, and I'm having a great time using Linux; don't tell me that this was the culprit, now is too late can't go back to Windows.
For my fiancée's pc it was even worse, I upgraded her from a gtx 1060 to an rtx 4070 super, and all it would do was constantly crash. Then I figured out the audio driver from nvidia was causing all of it. Disabled it and everything works smooth as butter.
Omg i have been suffering for like almost 9 years since the gtx 10 series came out. I thought i build pc the part does not work harmoniously smth like that. THANK YOU!
omfg it worked!!!!!!!!! i had three separate audio drivers trying to work at the same time causing consistent lag spikes for as long as i can remember! thank you so much!!!1
Nah, bandwidth (especially on these benchmarks) is NOT an issue. Seriously, you can listen music on USB 2.0 and PCI is A LOT more capable than this. What can be issue, though is IRQ interference and competition onto same level of IRQ. Meaning 2 requests from 2 devices will compete for priority of execution. It was frequent disease long time ago, as there were only 16 levels of IRQ for everything on PC iirc. But now there are A LOT more (at least 512 i think). But i guess such conflicts still can happen?
Holy shit! It worked! I have a brand new 4080 super with a 7800x3d. Had some annoying stutters in freakin Battlefield 1. It's gone! Thanks so much my dude!

I know a case of a guy who had a 4090, new. He got artifacts whenever he played Apex Legends if I remember the game correctly. I looked into it and it happened to be fairly common, and I wondered why there are so many fanboys throwing shit at AMD when Nvidia also has driver problems all the time. Literally both companies work fixes in every release.
If you don't slim out your GPU driver _(from all that filler that comes with it)_ - you can get all sorts of weird bugs like that. I started to do a slim version _(besides undervolting, input lag registry hacks, and other stuff)_ of every GPU driver update I get long ago _(I also update only using "late" version as well - v535.98, v536.99, v545.92, ect)_ - and I haven't encountered any bugs *whatsoever* for many years. Even though the fellas at nVidia forums are having major _(fps, stuttering, ect)_ issues - I don't, despite having the same HW with the same driver version _(as them),_ and playing the same games. Most likely because they just do an "express install", with all those bells and whistles, which mutilate not only the 1%/0.1%, but the input lag as well. And the best part is - leaving _(before you install the main driver package, not _*_after_*_ it!)_ only the digital audio and PhysX _(besides the required driver itself, ofc)_ will let you use *all* the GPU hardware perks, like RTX, NVENC, PhysX, CUDA, AI, DLSS, Reflex, ect _(tested all of them myself)_. All that still is working on both old cards _(done it with a client's GT 620 today)_ and new ones _(my RTX 3060)._
@@ItzMojoBear I use DDU to remove all the nVidia stuff _(the driver itself, PhysX, Broadcast, ect)._ Extra hustle is minimal, as I do that only once in a while _(I use _*_late/stable_*_ versions only, like v535.98, v536.99, v545.92 and so on)_ - not when every single minor driver update/hotfix hits the web. And during install, there's no need for custom - as the driver is already slimmed down *beforehand* _(i.e. it doesn't even contain any filler besides the video/audio driver and PhysX, so there's nothing to deselect)._
@@Vitaliuz I might have to try this again I’ve tried so many drivers and replaced pc parts new monitors and cables and even a repair shop and they all have the same stutter every few seconds ingame and this never happened before I updated a driver and then reinstalled windows trying to fix the stutter instead of just rolling back like a smart person would’ve 😭
@@ItzMojoBear A fresh Windows install is always a good thing. =) Especially if it's a stock bloatware-free MSDN build. But the thing is, microstutters _(by nature)_ are usually a CPU thing, instead of GPU. And there are a lot of stuff (like built-in Windows bloatware, background apps, various overlays, and so on) which can eat up those extra CPU cycles, causing stutters. It even comes down to CPU C-states - I usually leave the CPU in C0/C1 state _(paired with promote/demote threshold and time check interval tweaks)_ for the same reason of mitigating stutters. There are, ofc, a lot of other tweaks aimed to fight stutters and unstable frametime graph - but "boosting" the CPU usually has the highest potential against those. All of that can be checked via monitoring tools. Just be sure their overlays won't tank the fps, and disrupt the frametimes by themselves.
ive done that as well like 7 times using both cloud install and usb fresh install of 10 and 11 to try still the same issue idk what it is but im at the point of buying a new pc tbh sadly.. its a 3090 ti too so sucks to upgrade now@@Vitaliuz
nice tip. its a uuseless thing anyway if you are using other sound devices so its good practice for those looking to optimize to turn it off even if there is no problem
bro you are fucking brilliant. I NEVER have nvidia installer do my audio driver, i hate the fact that it's even there, but this seems like a really good way to make SURE it's putting no resources into audio, as it should be. More tips and tricks would be really nice, as well as your SUGGESTIONS for card makes/models - even though I'm sure you probably hate them all hahahah. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Also on FE and had issues with nVidia HDMI sound output from my TV, sound was ...well non-existent. Upon reinstalling the driver (custom and not "express") without the HDMI driver, the TV has sound again.......yeyyyyyyy :) That was few months ago, but on every driver update that came through, I`ve disabled the HDMI - motto, don`t break/fix what`s already working
something so simple... i just did it with my 3090ti and i cant believe i had a boost in performance in benchmarks.... lol what a strange issue. i never noticed it because.. well.. its a 3090ti, and it just kinda powers thru everything as expected. but the benchmark numbers have improved. wild! thanks!
It is not a manufacturer issue. All the drivers on eg.: msi or gigabyte website are byte to byte match with nvidia drivers. The only difference is the i2c devices for rgb , pwm controller or other stuff that are reachable trough the cuda api. Propably just a bug on your side.
I could see this being an issue with the Windows Update drivers. I've had sooo many instances where the Windows Update drivers have been super buggy and had terrible performance.
Love this video, I'd love to be able to do this to my MBP 5500m which throttles harder than Ghostrider. I know, I know, what was I doing spending 2.5k on a MBP when it gets hotter than the sun just trying to power an external monitor.... - I got punk'd.

SO basically if I am using a headset or a Soundsystem that is using the sound device of my keyboard, I do not need the graphics card audio driver at all, right? Wouldn't it be better to deactivate them even if you don't have stuttering or low FPS issues? Grat channel btw. I subscribed

Nice tip. Never used audio from videocards, will check if that is affecting me. I always use nvidia reference drivers, never specific to card OEM. Would that prevent this issue?
..Disable HDMI Audio or HD Audi driver may solve the problem, but the reason this happends is that for some reason the Graphics driver software interrupt and the HD bus driver interrupt arre on the same physical core and thread... ...this interrupts can be moved to be handled by different cores and threads... ..i wont give any information that can mess upp the os for anyone, but if one wants it can be done, and its the real reason for the dropout in audio/video frames trough HDMI
HDMI is not displayport, so it shouldn't... You can move signal DisplayPort to HDMI directly, but you must use converter to move signal from HDMI to DisplayPort, as HDMI encodes it differently
You always got something so useful even if it's so obscure. That's why I keep coming back to your videos. Good work. 👍

Thank you, my friend!
I know a case of a guy who had a 4090, new. He got artifacts whenever he played Apex Legends if I remember the game correctly. I looked into it and it happened to be fairly common, and I wondered why there are so many fanboys throwing shit at AMD when Nvidia also has driver problems all the time. Literally both companies work fixes in every release.
good tip for people actually having this problem, kinda sad as I tho its something new. keep up the good work!
If you don't slim out your GPU driver _(from all that filler that comes with it)_ - you can get all sorts of weird bugs like that.
I started to do a slim version _(besides undervolting, input lag registry hacks, and other stuff)_ of every GPU driver update I get long ago _(I also update only using "late" version as well - v535.98, v536.99, v545.92, ect)_ - and I haven't encountered any bugs *whatsoever* for many years.
Even though the fellas at nVidia forums are having major _(fps, stuttering, ect)_ issues - I don't, despite having the same HW with the same driver version _(as them),_ and playing the same games. Most likely because they just do an "express install", with all those bells and whistles, which mutilate not only the 1%/0.1%, but the input lag as well.
And the best part is - leaving _(before you install the main driver package, not _*_after_*_ it!)_ only the digital audio and PhysX _(besides the required driver itself, ofc)_ will let you use *all* the GPU hardware perks, like RTX, NVENC, PhysX, CUDA, AI, DLSS, Reflex, ect _(tested all of them myself)_.
All that still is working on both old cards _(done it with a client's GT 620 today)_ and new ones _(my RTX 3060)._
Do you use ddu to uninstall all or what and then just custom and hit only driver and physx?
@@ItzMojoBear I use DDU to remove all the nVidia stuff _(the driver itself, PhysX, Broadcast, ect)._ Extra hustle is minimal, as I do that only once in a while _(I use _*_late/stable_*_ versions only, like v535.98, v536.99, v545.92 and so on)_ - not when every single minor driver update/hotfix hits the web.
And during install, there's no need for custom - as the driver is already slimmed down *beforehand* _(i.e. it doesn't even contain any filler besides the video/audio driver and PhysX, so there's nothing to deselect)._
@@Vitaliuz I might have to try this again I’ve tried so many drivers and replaced pc parts new monitors and cables and even a repair shop and they all have the same stutter every few seconds ingame and this never happened before I updated a driver and then reinstalled windows trying to fix the stutter instead of just rolling back like a smart person would’ve 😭
@@ItzMojoBear A fresh Windows install is always a good thing. =)
Especially if it's a stock bloatware-free MSDN build.
But the thing is, microstutters _(by nature)_ are usually a CPU thing, instead of GPU.
And there are a lot of stuff (like built-in Windows bloatware, background apps, various overlays, and so on) which can eat up those extra CPU cycles, causing stutters.
It even comes down to CPU C-states - I usually leave the CPU in C0/C1 state _(paired with promote/demote threshold and time check interval tweaks)_ for the same reason of mitigating stutters.
There are, ofc, a lot of other tweaks aimed to fight stutters and unstable frametime graph - but "boosting" the CPU usually has the highest potential against those.
All of that can be checked via monitoring tools. Just be sure their overlays won't tank the fps, and disrupt the frametimes by themselves.
ive done that as well like 7 times using both cloud install and usb fresh install of 10 and 11 to try still the same issue idk what it is but im at the point of buying a new pc tbh sadly.. its a 3090 ti too so sucks to upgrade now@@Vitaliuz
nice tip. its a uuseless thing anyway if you are using other sound devices so its good practice for those looking to optimize to turn it off even if there is no problem
you are the GOAT thank god is subscribed!!!!
bro you are fucking brilliant. I NEVER have nvidia installer do my audio driver, i hate the fact that it's even there, but this seems like a really good way to make SURE it's putting no resources into audio, as it should be. More tips and tricks would be really nice, as well as your SUGGESTIONS for card makes/models - even though I'm sure you probably hate them all hahahah. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Also on FE and had issues with nVidia HDMI sound output from my TV, sound was ...well non-existent. Upon reinstalling the driver (custom and not "express") without the HDMI driver, the TV has sound again.......yeyyyyyyy :)
That was few months ago, but on every driver update that came through, I`ve disabled the HDMI - motto, don`t break/fix what`s already working
love this tip! do more pls 👍
something so simple... i just did it with my 3090ti and i cant believe i had a boost in performance in benchmarks.... lol what a strange issue. i never noticed it because.. well.. its a 3090ti, and it just kinda powers thru everything as expected. but the benchmark numbers have improved. wild! thanks!
Thank you. My stutters are officially gone 🙏
wow thank you so much it fixed instantly
My MSI motherboard comes with 4 different audio cards separate of the GPU so Im definitely trying this lets see if it works
SPdif optical out for a sound bar, I always used ARC in the past, great quality tbf. But now I have mobo mid-tier audio I might as well use it.
Thanks for the info
Many Thanks! It worked
bro I thank you i must be that 1 percent u were talking about my game doesnt stutter as much now maybe once in a while buta huge improvement Thank u
It is not a manufacturer issue. All the drivers on eg.: msi or gigabyte website are byte to byte match with nvidia drivers.
The only difference is the i2c devices for rgb , pwm controller or other stuff that are reachable trough the cuda api.
Propably just a bug on your side.
I could see this being an issue with the Windows Update drivers. I've had sooo many instances where the Windows Update drivers have been super buggy and had terrible performance.
Is the double fps just in synthetic benchmarks? or programs and games as well?
its sound clarity related. It can be noticeable, it can be hard to notice
Love this video, I'd love to be able to do this to my MBP 5500m which throttles harder than Ghostrider. I know, I know, what was I doing spending 2.5k on a MBP when it gets hotter than the sun just trying to power an external monitor.... - I got punk'd.
You thought apple won physics by getting all that stuff in a small chassis and 90w power supply? Every other gaming laptop and serious workstation maker are just stupid? No, you are. The guys at apple won your money, not engineering challenge.
My mbp 2011's graphics card died due to overheating after throttling it's whole life (and giving abysmal performance) and that was with 3rd party software to ramp up the fans to 100%
I’ve had these issues before switching from Nvidia to AMD. Crazy that a HDMI driver can do this
work 100% this nice dude! fix my pubg more fps average and less stutters freezes thanks
Wow thank you so much !!!!!!!
Nice one man!
SO basically if I am using a headset or a Soundsystem that is using the sound device of my keyboard, I do not need the graphics card audio driver at all, right? Wouldn't it be better to deactivate them even if you don't have stuttering or low FPS issues?
Grat channel btw. I subscribed
if sound is clear, dont bother.
Would this fix game stuttering too? I get stutter without really a drop in FPS
I'm on Win10 and mine is only showing NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM), Realtek(R) Audio and High Definition Audio Device. My motherboard is Asrock and it uses Realtek which is up to date according to there website. Should I disable the other two?
THANKSS MAN!!
this had a mild increase on my system, my timespy score went up by 500 points from around 28,400 to 28,900
The effect is more dramatic if you had sound clarity issues.
This is pretty good got from 61 to 64 fps in Superposition Benchmark.
NICE! THX! IT'S WORK
Like an on line coarse I’ve been watching you and you personally gave me the confidence to open up my thrustmaster power supply that melted a variable resistor I think it a shunt resistors and also a fuse blow it was welded to board I replaced everything and it worked I got confused and sent this originals to your rival because your names are so similar Sry 4 that but it was ment for you I believe you would be a great teacher because you are teaching already but omg what bring to the table I have an a.a.s in E.E.T. And you have better hands on then the schools that. I went to please consider making a hands on lab you don’t need to get into formulas just the experience of what you do believe me people would breaking down your doors to learn from you
Sencerly Tom H
Nice tip. Never used audio from videocards, will check if that is affecting me. I always use nvidia reference drivers, never specific to card OEM. Would that prevent this issue?
Dude... get off your ass and test for your own results.
Ah Thank you for reminding me.
You telling me I've been rendering audio with my GPU all this time just to... not use it? Wow....
if you dont have a problem with sound clarity, this wont do you any good.
Thanks BUT 😢 what if I have a Dolby Atmos system that needs HDMI digital audio? :c what happens?
..Disable HDMI Audio or HD Audi driver may solve the problem,
but the reason this happends is that for some reason the Graphics driver software interrupt
and the HD bus driver interrupt arre on the same physical core and thread...
...this interrupts can be moved to be handled by different cores and threads...
..i wont give any information that can mess upp the os for anyone, but if one wants it can be done, and its the real reason for the dropout in audio/video frames trough HDMI
I`ve tested on mine, and its all ok but thats a nice tip!
If you disable the sound from the hdmi, does it disable the sound on VR headsets on DisplayPorts?
HDMI is not displayport, so it shouldn't...
You can move signal DisplayPort to HDMI directly, but you must use converter to move signal from HDMI to DisplayPort, as HDMI encodes it differently
you saved my life bro
The valve index makes use of Nividia HD audio driver
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
