Windows 10: Should I install Realtek HD Audio Drivers?

I have ASUS ROG TYTAN G30AB Gaming PC; and it came with Windows 8 along with Realtek HD audio drivers. The utility/driver works fine, however, I find it giving too much watts to my Bose speakers. Sometimes, when I dial the controller, and tap to turn the speakers on; BaaaaaaaM! a crackling noise!

I have removed Realtek from Windows 10 Pro 20H2; and it's now in optional drivers. I have been testing things with generic Microsoft drivers, and the audio quality seems to be great. No funny noises when using front audio jack, watts are fine.


So, Realtek HD drivers should be installed or not? My fan is quiet too. I hate Realtek utility. Always popping up when front audio jack is used.


Let me know, please.


Thank you.
