I uninstalled the codecs last night and still had bouncing audio. Through trial and error I found that the LAV codecs are the most efficient and use the least CPU with smooth playback.
To my best knowledge the HDMI audio driver loaded with CCC. I’m not sure how to browse my system to find a potential alternate driver, but when I remove the item from device manager Win always automatically rediscovers the current driver.
One thing I did notice is that, when I disable the the HDMI audio device, the TV speakers still have sound.
