Note About Windows Logo Testing

When you install the Digital Audio System drivers, you will see a dialog box that informs you that the driver has not passed Windows Logo testing.

The Digital Audio System drivers are not signed because the driver does not support some of the consumer audio features that the Microsoft driver signing program requires, most notably Digital Rights Management.

However, the Digital Audio System drivers have been rigorously tested using the same test procedures that a signed driver requires, and it passes in all important categories, including those that measure the relative stability of the driver. So, it is perfectly safe to install these drivers on your computer.

Uninstalling all Audio Drivers and Applications

At times you may need to uninstall or reinstall some or all of the audio card's applica- tions and device drivers to correct problems, change configurations, or upgrade outdated drivers or applications.
