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

Hello MoKiChU, thank you.

This is already done: Use this SS3 Cleaner tool (Right-click on "A-Volute_SS3_Cleanup.exe" > Run as administrator) then restart your PC

Then this is difficult for me: Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process, I don't nowhere I can find the right Sonic Studio-3 install file?

I'm not a computer expert. 😞

Regards James48


Hi,

You can find your CLEANUP, INSTALL & UPDATE processes in your motherboard type category, in the first post of this thread as indicated previously.

Thanks MoKiChU for the drivers - I had to get the correct drivers for the ROG STRIX B550-I Gaming motherboard you've informed to me in another thread.
I was doing a clean unattended Windows 10 install and I do mean a clean install and I get this pop up error as you can see the screenshot. Doing a search on the error revealed the NnNotifSys.exe is part of the Realtek audio driver you posted. I'm just wondering what might have tiggered this popup error.


Hi,

- Avoid ZoneID blocking trouble :

- For each downloaded .zip : ZoneID unblock the .zip (Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK).

or

- Disable the ZoneID blocking completely (you will no longer have to unblock each downloaded .zip) :

- Right-click Windows Start button then click Launch then type gpedit.msc > OK
- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
- Do not preserve zone information in file attachment : Enabled > OK


- Download needed drivers package from the first post of the thread.
- ZoneID unblock the .zip (Only if you have not disabled the ZoneID blocking) : Right click on the .zip file > Properties > Check the box Unblock > OK.


Follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process, for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process.

Hey MoKiChU, thanks - I followed the suggestion method you provided - words for words and still getting the Application Error on the NhNotifSys.exe file during 2nd clean unattended install. Maybe something else is going on that causing Application error popup.

Hello all,

I want to share my experience troubleshooting a problem with the Nahimic service and see if anyone had encountered the same thing.

First of all my specs:

ASUS Maximus XI Hero WiFi
Windows 11 Pro x64 build 22621.232 22H2

I followed the guide to clean install the driver (even used DDU in safe mode to be sure everything was cleaned fine), I installed version 6.0.9360.1 SS3 without any issue, every component was recognized so nothing to complain. Rebooted the system and checked the audio, all ok! Even Realtek Audio Console self installed.

I continued to use my computer as usual, but I noticed when using WinRAR or Google Chrome/Opera GX, even Windows Task Manager, these applications were slow in opening, so after some testing etc. I found out NahimicService.exe was the culprit. I let the video speak by itself:

https://streamable.com/kntpe1

Obviously i updated to the latest version (6.0.9374.1) posted yesterday and nothing has changed, so my question is if anyone has having the same behaviour or not, maybe it's the unsupported Windows 11 version that cause the issue, who knows....

PS: Sonic Studio 3 is a garbage software, crashing in advanced mode everytime.

FYI i don't have that issue, i'm on Maximus X build 22000.795
