Where can I download the latest version of Nvidia High Definition audio driver? How many channels can it support? What is the difference between regular audio quality and HD quality?
You can download the current or the updated version of the audio driver from the Nvidia website, or it updates itself whenever new updates are available. You can also use third-party software like FileHippo, which checks updates for all the drivers in your system. The High definition audio brings the best electronic sound quality from up to eight channels. HD audio has less audio distortion, and the sound quality is way better. The bass is better amplified in HD quality than in regular audio quality.
If you are wondering where are the NVIDIA HD audio drivers go because you no longer see it on the NVIDIA download page, the drivers didn’t actually disappear. The NVIDIA audio drivers are part or included in the video card driver package. If you want to install the NVIDIA audio drivers, just install the driver package for your NVIDIA graphics adapter.
This automatically installs the appropriate audio support for your video card. On the other hand, if you only need to install the NVIDIA HD audio drivers and not the entire driver package, select “Custom Install” during installation and uncheck the other optional driver packages. Note: the base video card driver can’t be unchecked.
For users with Windows XP, you have to install a hotfix for your operating system but unfortunately, at the moment, the hotfix is no longer available. You need to upgrade your operating system to Windows 7 or higher. To install the latest driver for your NVIDIA graphics adapter, go to NVIDIA Driver Downloads.
