HP Elitebook 8470P
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right area but I am going crazy with this: WHY DO I NEED the LSI HDA Modem on my HP Elitebook 8470P? What is the purpose of this modem? Can I uninstall it? Thank you

Hi,

 

It is a modem. It is very small program which runs in the background and nearly all older business laptops still have it. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. Therefore my suggestion: keep it.

 

Regards.

BH
