To start with, Welcome back to nVivia. Yes, it is a sota mine-field.
But, nVidia always was.............. :)
I can not speak for nVidia offering HDMI sound, but, if your nVidia card
says it offers HDMI Sound, then
nVidia will send/include whatever to make their logic work. Now, the
logic may not work to your acceptance, but
they will at least 'turn the chips ON.'
/Physics/ appears to be a helper app that makes sure that the things
YOUSEE during game play look correct,
realistic.
I raised a question about another 'bloatware' nVidia part. Sorry, I can
not recall its' name.
Comments from our List told me to NOT allow it to install,
mainly because it was very HDW intensive. I did not, and live happy with
my 'old' video cards.
I will share this: nVidia now seems to using their new driver offerings
to EOL/remove their old video cards that are
still in use happily by users. I have hit this fence twice now. On
01-09-2014 nVidia popped up and asked meabout dl'g their
newest driver package (v322.21). I tried it. It failed telling me my
nvidia 5900GT was 'too old.' Fine! I get it. Buy a new video
card, or, continue on with the old driver (v320.49). So..............I
continue on!
I use:
nVidia v320.49 and v322.21.
HTH,
Duncan

What is the deal with Nvidia drivers. I have been a Radeon user for a
couple of decades, but on my new build I decided to use a EVGA Geforce
660. When I first installed from the DVD I got a whole range of
drivers and software which I figured was similar to ATI catalyst. I
had HDMI audio drivers, Physics? a program that installed and updated
drivers automatically without a reboot and something called Shadow play.
Of course one day it updated drivers and I lost my HDMI sound. Then I
tried fixing it... but it isn't simple like say a single Caytalist
program. So I finally gave up and removed everything Nvidia, one at a
time... no simple remove all drivers and program software like ATI
has... and installed the straight video driver... but I still have no
HDMI sound.
It would be easier to solve my problem if I knew how all this was
suppose to work?
