NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) — что это за драйвер? (nvvad64v.sys)
Приветствую. Каждая видеокарта способа воспроизводить картинку на экран — это ее главная задача. Геймерские — позволяют комфортно играть на высоких настройках. Но не все знают — некоторые могут воспроизводить и звук. Данную возможность обеспечивает интерфейс HDMI.
Разбираемся
NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) — драйвер для работы встроенного звукового контроллера видеокарты.
Видеокарта может выводить сигнал по кабелю HDMI, который поддерживает передачу не только видео, но и аудио сигнала. Другими словами — теоритически видеокарта может выполнять роль аудиокарты.
Сам аудиочип может быть фирмы Realtek (производитель огромного количества звуковых/сетевых чипов).
После установки дров напротив устройства в диспетчере может быть восклицательный знак. После перезагрузки должен исчезнуть.
Файл драйвера — nvvad64v.sys.
Фирменный мастер установки NVIDIA, который устанавливаем необходимые графические драйвера, в том числе и для HDMI.
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) — интерфейс передачи мультимедийных данных — видео с высоким разрешением, многоканальное аудио. Поддерживается защита от копирования High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
При установленном драйвере может не работать встроенная/внешняя звуковая карта
Иногда причина странных проблем/ошибок без видимых причин — некачественный кабель HDMI.
В теории касается не только видеокарт. Современные материнские платы часто содержат не только видеовыход DVI, но и HDMI — поэтому наличие устройства возможно даже без внешней видеокарты.
