OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.
Hardware requirements (AMD) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME/ProArt motherboards with AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/8xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC40xx).
Hardware requirements (Intel) : ASUS ROG/TUF/PRIME/ProArt motherboards with Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx series chipsets (except ROG with ALC40xx).

Note : In order to know which drivers package to use, match the audio specifications of your motherboard with the apps or ask me.

TIPS :

If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore
Use Driver Store Explorer (Right click on "Rapr.exe" > Run as administrator).

If you want better interrupts delivery latency
Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with
MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_Mode_Utility_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).

If you experience crackling, popping, audio stutter
Disable hibernation (Fast Startup included).

Did anyone manage to get the Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer working? I'm trying to set up a fast and easy NVidia ShadowPlay recording gameplay. I've added Modern Warfare to the audio stream but it can't pick up any of the ingame sound (even when I switch to the manual mixer manually) 🙂

Hi,

Sorry i don't use it (since i'm not a streamer or youtuber, I have no interest in using it). However theoretically it should work by configuring your usual audio input/output as default via Windows/Realtek Audio Control and you must only select Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer on the recording software. If you've set it up that way, maybe it doesn't work on NVIDIA ShadowPlay yet, try it out with OBS or others, but anyway I can't give you more support on this feature.

Official overview :

SONIC STUDIO VIRTUAL MIXER
A virtual audio device that lets streamers combine sound output and output from different apps. This allows you to mix your voice and video game audio within streaming software. A variety of adjustment and monitoring tools provide a high level of digital control.

Hi,

This issue (game crash) has nothing to do with my drivers package, it's this game that has a issue with the latest NH3/SS3 APO v1.7.2.0 and the latest SS3 app v3.16.8.0 which are also offered via Windows Update/Microsoft Store (so rollback would be useless, unless you block Windows Update & Microsoft Store updates).

- Send a detailed request by email to A-Volute Support (the creator of Sonic Studio/Nahimic) : support@nahimic.helprace.com
- Send a detailed request to Forza Support : https://support.forzamotorsport.net/hc/en-us/requests/new


In the meantime you have to uninstall SS3 if want to play this game.

Hi,

I will answer you on this thread (so that it serves other people) : https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?117593-Sonic-Studio-3-3-16-8-0-and-Forza-Horizon-4-incompa...

Hi;
I FOUND the Solution :: Disable the Nihamic Service in Windows Services Manager
and restart windows 10

The question is How replace the service file to the the previous file????
Enjoy

I used it the other day to record some game audio and it worked ok for me.

Thank you very much for your contribution that helped me a lot. however i have a short question my friend. when i open the sonic studio 3 and go to the record studio tab to activate the direct monitor and acoustic echo cancellation, the function does not stay activated. so if i close the program and open it again, the information is lost, do you have the same problem?

Hi,

You already asked me the question by PM, and I answered you, why you spam this question here and there ?

So, for the last time, I do not use these functions but that I can reproduce this issue, and root cause of this issue is SS3 app, so there is nothing i can do about it.

Send a detailed request by email to A-Volute Support (the creator of Sonic Studio/Nahimic) so that they can fix this for the next version of the SS3 app : support@nahimic.helprace.com

Refer to your Install/Update process (ASUS PRIME/TUF DTS Custom motherboards) in order to perform a clean install with the new drivers package.
