Hi, I have an Asus M3A Motherboard with onboard sound. I installed the sound drivers and the Realtek HD Audio Manager software which shows as an orange speaker in my system tray.

I have 2 questions.

1. Every time I unplug something from my front speaker jack and plug something else in (for example when I change from my high quality set of headphones to my headset for talking on Ventrillo) the #$#%^@ program pops up and asks what I plugged in. It's very annoying, does anyone know how to stop it?

2. This question may answer my first question, do I really NEED the damn Realtek HD Audio Manager software to be running in the background all the time? Can I just remove the software and have everything still work ok?

Thanks for any help you can give.
