    HP Audio Switch


    My PC is an HP AIO desktop using Windows 10 version 1809, the HP Audio Switch came already installed and it all works fine.
    HP Support Assistant has now listed an Audio Switch update which I have not yet installed.
    I have surfed the web trying to find out what this switch actually does. It appears to control speakers between apps.

    I only have my one computer and no other apps. Thus there is only the one set of PC speakers involved.
    In my case this switch seems redundant and I am considering leaving it alone and not installing the new update.

    The last thing I need is for my audio/sound to fail.
    So briefly -
    1. Is the HP Audio Switch essential for my audio/sound ? No switch - no sound ?
    2. If it is not, then I will ignore the matter and not install the update. Leave well alone.
    3. If it is, then I will install the update.

    Your comments please would be gratefully received.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Nobody replied to this issue, so here is my conclusion.

    Malwarebytes AdwCleaner listed the HP Audio Switch as pre-installed unnecessary crap and wanted to delete it.
    I have not deleted it as it is doing no harm, albeit also doing no good. Let sleeping dogs lay.

    So that answers and concludes my problem.

    HP Audio Switch no longer supported.

    I recently just updated to Window's May 1903 version. I checked all apps I use to make sure they all function properly. Everything works fine but when I try to click on HP Audio Switch, I no longer have the option to into my Audio settings. When I try to
    click on HP Audio Control, it tells me "Realtek Audio Console doesn't support for this machine." This worked on previous versions of Windows. Is there a solution to this or do I have to wait for Microsoft to release a update?
