    I've clean installed Vista Ultimate on my T16p. Minimal drivers are installed. But, I found that AEADISRV.EXE on startup. Here is the information:

    File Name: AEADISRV.EXE
    Display Name: APO Access Service (32-bit)
    Description: Andrea filters APO access service (32-bit)
    Publisher: Andrea Electronics Corporation

    Goolging gives me some information, but I'm still vague what this driver is doing.

    Thanks,
    MJ

    I know that this isn't malicious code, but can't get what APO access service means. The homepage doesn't give helpful information about this process. Most googled pages are vain. Thanks, though!

    APO = Audio Processing Object

    I know this is quite an old thread, but I suspect that the aeadisrv.exe is running if you add a sound filter to your microphone.

    I have "voice enhancements" running to eliminate background noise and it's caused the process to show up in my system services.

    I hope that helps.

    Hi,

    I was also suspicious about this process. After inquiry I concluded that this process is associated with Sound MAX drivers installed on my computer. This process is used to filter out noise in MIC.

    I hope it helped.

    Best Regards,
