There will be a registry key to delete too. You can then safely delete the dreaded Asio4All. The way to get rid of the Realtek driver coming back is to turn off the on-board audio device in the Bios, or, if you’re not comfortable delving under the bonnet, disable it in Windows device manager. I run my roland drums into my laptop for ezdrummer, so I need the lowest latency possible, which is by using the asio driver. The biggest thing for me is having the lowest latency possible.

I guess I'm curious if anyone else had these issues with windows 11. I contacted hp technical support and that was like talking to a brick wall. The most frustrating thing is, I can go on my old laptop with windows 10 and don't have any issues with the audio drivers. Asio is the most steady driver, and I try to use that most often, especially if I'm using ezd in standalone mode. This wouldn't be an issue if it didn't freeze cakewalk and other vst's(ezdrummer) and I have to re start the computer constantly. The second you restart or shut down the computer, the Realtek driver comes back.

While it can be deleted, it's only temporary. I've watched every YouTube video possible on how to delete/disable the the Realtek audio driver. I searched the forum and read different topics regarding asio and realtek, but I'm 99% convinced it's windows 11. While I don't consider myself a computer wiz, or an audio wiz for that matter, I've worked audio long enough to know that windows 11 and audio are just a massive headache.
