My current work computer has one of those crappy OEM Realtek Sound Manager craplet pieces of software.
I really hate it when hardware companies (especially sound card manufacturers) think that they should abandon the well-known and incredibly standard windows framed interface and invent their own scary window interface.
Anyway, I normally would never open this app, but it forces itself in focus when I plug in my headphones. (Yes, you read that correctly)
Umm, WTF? It obviously knows what I plugged in because it is highlighted and checked. The headphones don’t work until I click OK on this box.
The worst part? Uninstalling the application renders the sound card useless. Pfft.
