What is the Intel(R) Smart Sound Technology (Intel(R) SST) OED Driver?
The Intel(R) Smart Sound Technology (Intel(R) SST) OED driver is part of Intel's Smart Sound Technology (SST), which is used in modern Intel processors to offload audio and voice processing tasks from the main CPU. This technology provides advanced audio features such as noise cancellation, echo suppression, and speech recognition for systems with Intel's integrated audio solutions.
OED stands for "Onboard Embedded Device", which typically refers to a specific part of the Intel Smart Sound Technology that handles audio input and output for things like:
The driver is crucial for ensuring proper operation of these features in Windows, especially on systems with Intel audio solutions like those integrated into Intel chipsets or used with Intel's embedded audio solutions.
