No, don't do any registry editing to try to resolve your issue. Windows
will keep re-discovering your hardware, for one thing, and re-write the
entries. It's only adding to the registry what it sees it can't make up
the hardware ID's that are physically true for your computer, since that
info is coming from the hardware itself. Steer clear of the registry.
The hardware IDs indeed point to a Realtek High Definition Audio device,
ALC880 to be exact. See:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=28&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=42
Currently, is your sound working?
Do you have two sound devices under "Sound, video and game controllers" in
Device Manager? Again, regarding the device with the exclamation mark, what
exactly is the the name of the device? Is Realtek in the name, or does it
show just High Definition Audio Device? Physically, does you computer have
two separate sets of speaker jacks (that are connected to two different
hardware devices inside your computer), one set that you don't use?
If you have two sound devices, as Cal Bear has said, and you don't want it
in Device Manager, you'll have to disable the onboard (built-in to your
motherboard) sound in your BIOS Setup then only the Creative hardware will
show in Device Manager. Or, in Device Manager, as Cal Bear has said,
right-click on the device, and choose Disable (don't choose Uninstall). This
approach will continue to show the device, but put it out of commission...
