By default, a clean windows installs all the necessary Microsoft drivers and everything else it needs. My concern are the audio drivers.
The first time I installed Win 8.1 everything was good and the audio drivers installed were the default Microsoft drivers. As I have an oboard realtek chip I proceeded to install the appropriate drivers. Everything was still fine except the audio dsecriptions changed a bit.
Anyways, a while back I did a system restore/reset and this is where my problem occured. I understand it was not a clean install, but the audio drivers were once again the Microsoft drivers but with a catch. I cannot understand why in the world the audio descriptions are as they are.
Why in the world is there a 3 and a dash before the high definition audio device? This was never so before the system restore. Of course I install realtek drivers over these but it still bothers me.
What is more bizzare is when I go to device manager and click show hidden devices, there are like 20 different audio device and some have the number 2 and a dash and etc...
Has anyone experienced this? I can't find anything on the web about this.
