I just had to install realtek audio drivers as I had no audio codecs installed and speakers were not working. They are working now but as soon as I start the pc I get this pop up window saying
open file security warning
soundman.exe
unknown publisher
application file
c\windows
the publisher cannot be verified are you sure you want to ruin this software?
RUN or CANCEL then a tickbox to say always ask before opening this file
