Your question doesn't make any sense to me.
To my knowledge, the only VSL product that uses GPU audio so far is MIR 3D Pro. So yes, you can uninstall MIR 3D Pro and Synchron Player will still work. But to me it seems kinda silly to do that when the GPU audio is turned off by default in MIR 3D Pro and you have to turn it on, so I don't know why you would use the nuclear option of deleting MIR 3D Pro when you can simply turn off the very prominent switch in the MIR 3D Pro user interface to turn off the GPU audio, which you would have had to turn on yourself to be active.
It looks from the forum that VSL is going to be integrating some kind of GPU audio processing into the Synchron player in the future, but I think it is only in beta test versions at the moment. Maybe you are part of the beta program for Synchron Player and you have a beta test version that supports GPU audio, and then I don't know, but I would assume there is a prominent switch to turn it off in the Synchron Player somewhere without having to uninstall anything, like there is in MIR 3D Pro.
Yet you replied what i wanted to hear, so it makes sense after all. 😁
I simply do not want anythting i don’t need installed. Call it OCD, or whatever you like, i just don’t need it if i don’t use it. I like to keep thing simple as possible.
Cheers! 🖖🏻

And btw, i didn’t want to uninstall MIR, just those 3 GPU AUDIO things which popped in in my programs list. 🤷🏻♂️
I didn't even see those three GPU AUDIO things before in the programs list or know that is what you were talking about. I have them too.
They are probably shared libraries / dependencies for the VSL software. If you were to remove them, things that try to reference them probably would not start or work properly, even if they are not being used. I get people trying to keep the system clean, but the alternative would be for VSL to include a separate copy of GPU audio with each program that potentially used it and then you would have multiple copies in the system even though it wouldn't appear in add/remove programs.
Having it installed is not going to slow down the system. From what I can see, it does not even seem to start any background services or processes whatsoever, so there should be zero performance impact by having those.

Yeah, multiple copies would be a good idea. 👍🏻 I’m not worried about performance impact as i’m woried about clashing with my interface driver. Sending an email to support now, will write what they said.
The GPU Audio installer is integrated into the MIR Pro 3D installer - of course, you can uninstall whatever you want on your system. But it will be back whenever you install the next MIR Pro update.

I've just checked, and this is not entirely accurate. GPU audio stuff gets automatically (re-)installed with Synchron Player updates as well. I have never demoed (or even looked at) anything MIR related, and yet the GPU Audio trio of programs just reappeared on my system for the second time when I updated Synchron.
So can you tell us why Synchron Player needs these things installed?
