Note About Windows Logo Testing

When you install the Digital Audio System drivers, you will see a dialog box that
informs you that the driver has not passed Windows Logo testing.

The Digital Audio System drivers are not signed because the driver does not support
some of the consumer audio features that the Microsoft driver signing program
requires, most notably Digital Rights Management.

However, the Digital Audio System drivers have been rigorously tested using the
same test procedures that a signed driver requires, and it passes in all important
categories, including those that measure the relative stability of the driver. So, it is
perfectly safe to install these drivers on your computer.

Uninstalling all Audio Drivers and Applications
