HP Recommended

I have a relatively new HP Pavillion notebook with 12GB/1TB and quadcore running Windows 10. It was bundled with some bloatware--especially IOBIT crapware.  

 

The package has several layers of audio software that begins with Realtek (presumabaly hardware interface), windows core stuff and then the B&O overlay.  It seems that the B&O SW believes that it is superior to Windows.  Although I can use Win 10 core functions to MUTE system sounds, B&O seems to ignore this, and whenever I plug/unplug something in to the headphone/microphone jack it dings loudly--ignoring the Windows control panel setting to mute system sounds. THIS SUCKS. 

 

I have NO use for the B&O SW available from the quicklaunch spot.

I do not know where it lives and why I would  want it installed (and how to uninstall these presumed DLLs).

It is a badly behaved application and does not appear (transparently) to run as a service.

I have very sophisticated and expensive recording and mixer management SW installed already.

 

Like the IOBIT Crapware, Please tell me why this is particular useful for a power user.
