6 AMD High Definition Audio Devices on new build?

[eagle132]

Just a quick question:

I just built a new PC with these stats:

i7 6700k
MSI R9 390
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5
Windows 10

Everything went smooth as silk, but one oddity I noticed after setting up my system was the playback devices. There are 6 playback devices using "AMD High Definition Audio Device". The first one is enabled showing my monitor (which has an HDMI input), but the other 5 are disabled.

Is this expected? It seems messy to have 5 extra playback devices listed. Here's a screenshot:

Not a big deal, just figured I would ask!

Thanks

They are for all the other outputs on the card, not sure why there is 6 though? Same thing with my R9 290 funny enough, should 4 at the very least, unless there is more for an MST hub?

Anyway, if you don't wont to see them all just right click one of them and untick 'show disconnected devices'.

Thanks! I figured this was the case, just looking for some confirmation.

I know this is an old post, but I just came across this problem too. Is there any way to fully remove the drivers for them? They seem to re-appear after a reboot or when I scan for hardware changes.

Just disable the AMD High Definition Audio Device under sound in the Device Mananger, if you don't use audio though the card at all, to hide them.
