System processes at startup. RTHDCPL in startup: what is this process? Is it possible to turn off hd audio background process

I send warm greetings to everyone, guys! Today we are talking about such a thing as HD Audio Background Process, I will try to find out what it is. So guys, I found out, in short, HD Audio Background Process is the background process RAVbg64.exe, and this is from sound, it belongs to a program from Realtek. I found information that HD Audio Background Process cannot be removed from startup, because the sound may disappear. But I don't think that's true. These are not drivers, because drivers cannot be included in startup at all. My opinion is that this is a proprietary Realtek sound adjustment program, nothing else comes to mind =)

What exactly is the program? Yes, there are no secrets here, this is a program that probably has an equalizer, all sorts of sound effects, maybe microphone settings, choice of speaker system, well, 2.0 or 5.1, that’s about it. I also remember there are some tests, you turn on the test and the speakers are tested, then in one, then in the other there is some kind of strange sound, I remember exactly.

If you disable HD Audio Background Process, perhaps this program from Realtek, then you will need to manually launch it, if at all. As a rule, there should be a Realtek icon in the control panel; if anything, you can use it to launch the program.

So I found a picture, as I understand it, this is the task manager, here we see confirmation that HD Audio Background Process is RAVBg64.exe, see:

You see, there is another process here, this is RAVCpl64.exe, this is probably the sidekick of RAVbg64.exe.

It also happens that such a process is not responsible for the Realtek program itself, but only for displaying the icon of this program in the tray. So that the program itself can be launched. But again, this is also not a critical thing, you can turn it off.

I also found information on a foreign forum that the RAVbg64.exe process is needed to connect programs to Realtek Sound Drivers. I saw screenshots on the Internet where the RAVbg64.exe process was knocking on Skype, I wanted something incomprehensible, like giving the process some kind of access. So, this seems to be some kind of error in Skype itself. But this is a trifle, you can deny access or allow it, this is generally an incomprehensible behavior of RAVbg64.exe. If anything, in the Skype settings there is somewhere a list of those who are allowed access and who are not, I just don’t remember where exactly, sorry... =(

Now, in general, about the program from Realtek, what it generally looks like. Well, for example it might look like this, by the way the program is called Realtek HD Audio Manager, see:

Well, here’s the same program, but it already has a different one appearance(probably because it comes from MSI):

Another example:

Well, as I already wrote, you can always launch this program from the control panel, here is an example of what the icon might look like:

Now about autoloading. My advice to you is to watch startup at all, I advise you to download CCleaner. This is a free program, it is for cleaning your computer, but it has a valuable section on displaying startup. Everything is there, both regular startup and hidden, in short it’s super, I recommend it. I have CCleaner, I launched it, look how startup is displayed here:

You see, there are still planned tasks here, all sorts of evil spirits often sit there. I forgot to say, to get into startup, you need to go to the Tools section, and then select Startup:

That's all guys, I hope the information was useful! Good luck, don't be sad there!

Today we will look at a process that most users do not have problems with. It is he who is responsible for all sound add-ons on the computer and is located in the tray, from where it can be called with one click of the mouse. The name is complicated, but everything is on the surface. Let's look at what RTHDCPL.exe is and why it loads the processor.

What is RTHDCPL.exe?

RTHDCPL.exe is the executable file for the Realtek HD Audio Control Panel. The application is installed along with the driver package for the sound card and serves as a utility for adding sound effects and customizing audio recording. The absence or removal of the program does not affect the system and sound quality in any way: the software does not implement system functions.

Based on the information above, disabling or deleting RTHDCPL.exe will not affect the performance of the system or the quality of the sound played in any way.

In normal operating condition, the RTHDCPL.exe file is 13,179,660 bytes in size in any version of the software and has a technical severity rating of 11%, which is a very small indicator. Therefore, if the actual amount of data differs from the nominal amount, you should check your PC for viruses and other malware.

How to disable the service?

If RTHDCPL.exe loads the processor or causes errors, you can remove the application from startup.

To do this:

After completing the above steps, the load on the hardware should decrease.

Attention! In Windows 7, 8, 8.1 operating systems, the startup tab is located in a different location. To call it, press Win+R and enter regedit in the text field. In the window that appears, go to the “Startup” tab.

How to remove the virus hiding under the soundbar?

If symptoms of computer infection appear (slow operation, display of advertising, etc.), you need to check your PC for malware.

To do this:

1. Stop the RTHDCPL.exe process (if it is active).
2. Install three applications: AdwCleaner, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool and CCleaner.
3. Launch AdwCleaner, click "Scan". After completing the procedure, click “Cleaning”.
   
4. Open Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool. Follow your antivirus software's instructions and remove any threats found.
5. Reset your browser settings.
   
   
6. Remove outdated registry entries using CCleaner.

Many programs today like to record themselves in the so-called “startup”. This means that they always start at boot operating system and sit quietly in RAM. This is what antiviruses do, for example, but that’s exactly what they need to be there. But all sorts of players and utilities have no place there at all. Why borrow RAM unnecessary processes? If you remove them, you can significantly increase the speed of your computer. A description of the most basic processes found in startup is given in this article.

The situation when a certain file Ravbg64.exe wants to use Skype is familiar to many users of the messenger. What should I do? Should you allow or prevent an unknown substance from entering your computer?

You will answer this question when you understand what the file is and what its value is.

What is Ravbg64.exe?

The file was created for the operating system Windows developer Realtek Semiconductor Corp. He is part of an extensive group of command exe files and is associated with HD Audio Background Process. The latest most advanced version is known as 1.0.0.150.

Like all operating system objects with the exe extension, Ravbg64 is an instruction manual for the computer. To launch it, you need to double-click on the icon labeled “exe”. The command will be executed immediately.

Ravbg64 runs the HD Audio Background Process on your computer. This is a program with settings for sound, equalizer, background effects, etc. It is not recommended to delete the program, as deleting it may cause the sound to disappear. However, this is not a driver, so the sound is unlikely to disappear if Ravbg64.exe or HD Audio Background Process is removed from the computer. There is information that it is necessary to connect programs to Realtek Sound Drivers

What should I do if Ravbg64.exe wants to use Skype?

If the described object “knocks” on your Skype and asks for access to the process, this is a messenger error.

It is not considered significant. Therefore, nothing will change if you grant or deny access.

In the Skype settings there is a list of those who can be allowed access upon request. Other objects can also knock on the messenger, for example, Btstackserver with the same exe extension.

Both Ravbg64 and Btstackserver can be safely denied access to Skype. Since you do not need them to fully use the functionality of the messenger. Moreover, malware is often disguised as files with the .exe extension.

Causes of errors in batch files

RAVBg64 itself is completely harmless and safe. And this is precisely the reason why it is chosen to infect a computer with worms, Trojans and other pests. The object can be distributed through websites with harmful content and spam emails. Just double-click on the icon of a harmless file, and your computer will be infected.

All executive files have this problem. It is recommended to check them with anti-virus programs before launching. If the system frequently reports errors related to RAVBg64, there is a high probability that the computer is already infected. On Skype, a request may appear for the same reason. Just in case, you need to run a check antivirus program.

How to remove or fix RAVBg64

Since the described object is not particularly necessary, it can simply be deleted in several steps:

• go to the Start menu;
• select "Control Panel";
• click on “Add or Remove Programs”;
• Uninstall "Realtek High Definition Audio" or "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver".

You can go a more complicated route Windows fixes:

• download the Windows OS recovery utility;
• install the program;
• select the scan command;
• Click on “Fix errors”.
• restart your computer.

Errors with the Ravbg64 file and other exe objects, including pop-up requests for permission to use Skype and other instant messengers, should always serve as a signal to check your computer. It's possible that the problem is specific to the file making the request, but it could be that the entire file is affected. Windows system and urgent action needs to be taken.

To significantly relieve the system of automatically launched applications, you need to disable everything unnecessary and unnecessary at the moment. Easier said than done. Therefore, for many it is a big problem to find those very unnecessary elements in the list of automatically launched programs. To simplify the task, I present to your attention 8 programs that you can safely disable in startup to speed up your system.

1. iTunes Helper

Surely, this program will be on the list of those who use iTunes to listen to music and/or synchronize their gadgets from Apple. This program sits permanently in the computer’s memory and waits for the iDevice to be connected. Once this happens, it launches iTunes. Actually, that's all it's needed for.

The trick is that you can launch iTunes manually when you connect the device. If there is no device, then this program not needed at all. In both cases it can be disabled.

2.QuickTime

This is a media player module that may be needed to play some video formats. But why is it in autoload? Can be disabled.

3. Apple Push

The product also belongs to the Apple company and is used to send notifications to launch other Apple programs that are installed on the system. Essentially, it allows interaction between your device and apps like iCloud on your computer. But experience shows that if you turn off this entry, then data synchronization is still performed. So you can turn it off.

4. Adobe Reader

Of course, everyone knows the most popular PDF reader. If this program is not used, then there is absolutely no need to keep it running at startup, wasting resources. Can be disabled.

5. Skype

Many people simply cannot live without communicating on Skype. Some people do this all the time and communicate with work colleagues throughout the day. And some communicate at home with distant relatives once every few days. But the truth is that when installing Skype is automatically registered in startup and is turned on every time along with the system, which also slows down other startup processes that occur in parallel, since Skype itself is far from a “light” application. You can run it manually as needed and after the system starts.

6. Google Chrome

The most popular browser also likes to sit in startup, adding update checking modules there. Modules such as Google Update and Google Installer can be disabled. At the same time Chrome browser It will still update itself.

7. Evernote Clipper

Being a big fan of Evernote, I still turned off Clipper. And at the same time, I have not experienced any inconvenience in working with him for many years.

8.Microsoft Office

Microsoft's office suite is quite good and is the standard almost everywhere. But what's the point of autoloading? After all, even without automatic start you can open any file in any office program. Turn it off.

In most cases the reason slow work The PC is cluttered with various applications that we use from time to time, but which run every time we turn on the computer and eat up the PC's resources while waiting for it to be used. Often this is simply not necessary and such applications can be launched manually as needed, without taking resources from the computer only to have some program waiting for you in memory.

The best way to disable startup for programs is in their settings. But if there are none, then you can use the utility msconfig in Windows XP-7 or Task Manager in Windows 8-10.
