  • List all audio endpoints and ask for enable/disable configuration

    • If you disabled a device in the previous steps the audio endpoints of that device will not be available anymore

  • List all audio endpoints and ask for default device configuration

  • List all audio endpoints and ask for exclusive mode configuration

    • This setting corresponds to the audio settings:

Regarding NVIDIA audio root device

If you disable the NVIDIA audio root device, the script will search for the system device "High Definition Audio-Controller" located on your graphics card and disable it. This will prevent the NVIDIA audio device being enabled again when you update your graphics card drivers. If you want the NVIDIA device to show up again you must MANUALLY enabled this system device in your device manager again.
