Hardware acceleration enables you to shift the audio tasks from the CPU to the sound card so that the CPU isn't slowed down by audio requests and so that games and other audio-intensive applications can take full advantage of the sound card's features and capabilities. However, if you encounter unwanted noise or find that computer performance is negatively impacted, you can try turning off hardware acceleration to address the problem. Windows supported the ability to manually turn off hardware acceleration in a sound card until the release of Windows Vista. Subsequent versions of Windows do not have an option for this.
