[Windows] [HP] HP Notebook Bloatware - HP Audio Switch

[LouieBrown]

Hello, I recently came into the need of cleaning my PC of bloatware to liberate some space and honestly I do feel a change with all the bloatware I have deleted. I used a uninstaller tool and so far the apps I have deleted have remained so.

The thing is, there are some apps I am not so sure about, like the "HP Audio Switch". I am not now in a need of freeing space so I can not delete if I wanted to, but I am really curious about what this app gives me when I already have another one "Realtek HD Audio Driver".

I am not sure if these two apps do the same and which one should I keep, may I get some help please?

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

The Realtek HD Audio Driver" is the Audio Driver which is crucial. The HP Audio Switch is just a software which controls the speakers. If you do not use it, you can uninstall the same
