Hsmgr.exe is a driver component for Asus, Auzentech, Creative and other sound cards. HsMgr.exe (32-bit) and HsMgr64.exe (64-bit) are services that provide the GX2.0 features. Under Vista, they also enable Directsound 2D/3D/EAX for applications, so it is not a good idea to disable them. These run at startup and in many cases you will be asked to allow the file to run on each startup. To eliminate that behavior and allow it on all bootups, open the file properties, and on the General tab click the "Unblock" button.

HsMgr.exe and HsMgr64.exe are files installed with Auzentech soundcards. Mine is specifically the XMystique Gold. Im pretty sure it installs with the rest. I disabled it once and my sounds were rendered mute.
