  1. Multiple Audio Services


    I am trying to debug some issues with my laptop. I see the following sound services listed in system configuration:



    Realtek Audio Universal Service

    Sound Research SECOMN Service

    Synaptics Audio APO Service

    Synaptics Audio Service

    Intel Audio Service



    I am a bit surprised with all these different services just for audio. What does each do and which ones do I really need?

    :)
