M11x R1: Audio drivers install every time I switch graphics card

I still run the venerable R1, however, recently I had a spate of BSODs which meant I had to reformat. After the reformat, the BSODs were gone but I have a new niggle.

Every time I switch graphics card using Fn + F6, from integrated to the Nvidia 335m, 4 Nvidia High Definition Audio drivers are downloaded and installed. This happens every time I switch graphics card; it seems as if it installs it once and then forgets it when I switch back to integrated. It's more a minor inconvenience rather than a problem but I am wondering if there is just a bigger, underlying problem.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

It sounds like either the Nvidia drivers are buggy/wrong-settings or the function key to change the GPU has a weird catch. Could you try redownloading and installing both the Nvidia drivers for GPU and Audio, maybe even using driver sweeper to ensure nothing of the old drivers remains in the registry, etc. If that doesn't work maybe it's something with Intel's integrated graphics or its settings, so that would need to be updated or at least changed.

I couldn't imagine anything farther than that though I guess it's possible Windows is treating Fn+F6 as a slightly different command than it should. Seems like something the graphics drivers would try to do though.

 

Same here, I would recommend you to do a clean video driver installation. It is not a big deal though, nothing to be worried about.

 

Many thanks for all the help, guys. I shall follow your advice.
