Based on the story with Savitech certificates being installed "by mistake" I also believe that drivers Load Sense, being dated 2015, are not really necessary.

My idea is that Asustek used them in the past and probably submitted to DDK and Microsoft/Asustek keep it since that time. Dont see other reason to see in Win10 "Win7 DDK driver" related to audio.
