  1. How many sound drivers should I have and which should I disable?


    Recently, my friends on discord have been hearing themselves and my PC audio during calls. When I open up sound devices in control panel, it lists my headset as speakers and believe that this is why the problem is happening (Not sure though please help). I went to device manager to look at my sound drivers and i showed that I had these drivers:

    NS-SPBTBRICK Hands-Free AG Audio

    NS-SPBTBRICK Stereo

    NVIDIA High Definition Audio

    Nvidia Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)

    Realtek High Definition Audio



    Should I disable or uninstall any of these drivers, or do you know of any other solutions for fixing my discord problem? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

    May not be a speaker problem.
