Avid Audio Drivers x64
What is Avid Audio Drivers x64?
This is the Avid software driver and additional utilities required for managing and connecting the Avid Audio device to the PC. Uninstalling this driver may cause the hardware to stop functioning properly (only remove this package if you no longer have the device connected to your PC).
Overview
The most common release is 8.0.5, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 72 files and is usually about 442.84 MB (464,352,162 bytes). The installed file SoftwareUpdater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered.
