When installing GeForce Game Ready Driver, it gives me an "Installation Failed" message at the end saying that the "HD Audio Driver" Failed to install. How do I fix this?
#HD Audio Driver
inner fjord
what model 4090 and what motherboard do you have?
inner fjord
do you have Armory Crate installed?
brave trout
yes
inner fjord
it seems like Armory Crate created a registry entry that prevents the HD Audio Driver from being installed
brave trout
What should I do? Should I do the temporary fix that he mentions in the thread?
inner fjord
there appears to be an updated version of Armory Crate that is supposed to fix the problem
UPDATE January 16, 2024: Asus has now released an update for your motherboards on January 16, 2024. You can find the update in Armoury Crate. To do this, go to the settings (at the bottom left on the gear symbol) of Armory Crate. You will then find the “Update Center” tab. Now you should find the update for your motherboard. After the update has been successfully installed, please restart your computer. If you haven't received an update yet, you can use my procedure temporarily. In the "Update Center" tab you can also see which device SDK version is installed by opening your mainboard. For my ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero, the new device SDK version 3.00.21 fixes the problem. All registry entries and other files will be fixed.
but worst case, you can search for the registry entry and delete it yourself to get around the issue

I don't know much about computer parts, I basically just threw money at my friend and told him to go completely overkill
inner fjord
it's Asus' proprietary software to ensure your drivers are up to date
inner fjord
correct
brave trout
that's nice
inner fjord
the other vendors have their own versions
