NVidia install disables start-up sound
NVidia video driver also installs NV high-def audio drivers, which disables Win 7's start-up sound, yet all other sound is fine. (Realtek audio driver feeds the speakers.)
Yes, "Play start-up sound" is enabled.
During install I did not select the NVidia sound driver choices or several other (3D) options; still, they installed.
Deleting the virtual sound driver appears to be what has reinstated the start-up sound.
Strange. Just curious whether others have experienced this.
