Quick question:  I have what's called "Realtek HD Audio Manager" enabled on startup. Do I need it enabled?

PS. I dont know if it makes a difference, but I sometimes switch from Headphones to Speakers in case I wanna watch something with friends.

Audio engineer guy here, you can disable it.  It's just a management ui, sound will work without it.
