The NVIDIA HDMI Audio Device driver is part of the software package that allows your NVIDIA graphics card to output audio through the HDMI connection. Many modern NVIDIA GPUs, especially those from the GeForce and Quadro series, support HDMI audio for digital audio output when connected to a compatible display or AV receiver via HDMI. This driver is responsible for enabling and managing this audio functionality, allowing you to hear sound through your HDMI-connected display or external sound system.
