führt bei mir bereits bei der installation zum blue screen... da die onboard-soundkarte diese datei aber voraussetzt, besteht keine chance, den sound ohne sie zum laufen zu bringen... am besten gleich ne soundkarte kaufen...

Das ist voll der BULLSHIT!!!!! Alle 30min ein Bluescreen!
Shit on it (further information)

It's the driver for the Realtek High Definition Audio card. It is indeed harmless, but commonly installed incorrectly, causing problems. I'm not sure if your sound will work without it.

also bei mir kam auch der bluescreen: rkthdaud.sys

Wer nicht auf seinen Onboard Sound verzichten will oder kann (ich habe ein Notebook, da kann ich nix neues einbauen), einfach den neuesten Realtek Treiber (Ver. 1.73 oder neuer) über den alten Installieren und die Fehler gehören der Vergangenheit an, so wars bei mir!

It's for the built-in audio on motherboards with Realtek Audio, it crashes some games after a whole however (Warcraft3).

Das ist die Treiberkomponente zum Realtek High definition Audio Chip. Sorgt regelmäsig für Bluescreens bei einigen Systemen. Mein Tip bei Problemen damit: Im Bios den onboard Sound deaktivieren und ne Soundkarte kaufen.
