Is this safe installing modified .ini drivers for audio device

Kaws

Hi

 

Can anyone tell me if this is safe, people have got this working but wanted to ask more people technically knowledgeable just in case:

Procedure to install drivers on Windows 10 - 64 bits:

  • Turn OFF SP-555 and connect it with a USB cable to your computer
  • Open a CMD window in admin mode and accept the warning from Windows (type CMD on the search bar and use the right click to launch in administrator mode)
  • Give the following 2 commands:
    bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
    bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
  • Reboot your computer
  • Turn on SP-555 and open device manager and look for SP-555 "unknown device"
  • Download drivers modified by me HERE
    (ignore the error message if you have one and click on Download)
  • Unzip files with 7ZIP in a directory of your choice
  • On the device manager, on SP-555 device,  right-click->properties->driver->update->don't search->have disk and goto folder where you extracted the driver. Ignore the warnings in RED and install.
  • Return to the initial state of signed drivers by opening again a "cmd" as admins and give the following 2 commands:
    bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
    bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
  • Reboot the system
    Done !

If it's the only way to install these drivers then you have no choice. Is it safe? This should be less important question in this case. If you need this card to work, then your work and hardware is more important. If system will have any problems, you'll notice that.
