The AVerMedia A336 MiniCard Dummy IR Receiver is likely associated with an infrared (IR) receiver module used in AVerMedia products, particularly those designed for TV tuners, video capture cards, or media center remotes. The Dummy IR Receiver typically refers to a non-functional placeholder device used in certain configurations, or it might be a generic term used for a device that provides an IR input interface without a dedicated, specialized IR receiver function.

This type of device could be part of a broader hardware setup like an AVerMedia TV tuner or capture card that includes remote control functionality. The A336 designation could refer to a specific AVerMedia MiniCard or card-based product (such as a PCI or PCIe card), while IR Receiver refers to the ability to receive infrared signals, typically from a remote control.

In order for such a device to work with your computer, you need to install the correct driver, so the infrared receiver is recognized by your operating system.
