I totally uninstalled Nahimic and A-Volute off of my system months ago. I had to dig deep to totally get rid of it. Asrock is terrible about keeping their MB drivers updated. I don't download any of my drivers from them.

I am currently using Realtek Audio driver 6.0.9219.1. You can download it from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

From Nahimic's website the current version from the Microsoft Store is 1.8.9.

I recently checked the Latest Utilities page from ASRock's web site and saw a "Nahimic3 utility ver:210913_APO3" download listed for the B550 Taichi motherboard dated 9/24/2021:
https://asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=Utilities

but when I go to the B550 Taichi motherboard downloads page:
https://asrock.com/MB/AMD/B550%20Taichi/index.asp#Download
it still lists the outdated Nahimic3 utility ver:1.4.15 download.

like WTF/WTH, ASRock? do they actually have ver. 210913_APO3 of the Nahimic 3 utility posted or not?

this version should also obtain v1.20.238.0 of the Realtek Audio Console App from the MS store.

it seems that the Nahimic 3 v1.5.7 app is for newer ASRock boards only (ones with Z590, B560 & H570 chipsets) and won't work for older boards

and recently looking at the latest Utilities download page:
https://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=Utilities
the older Nahimic 1.4.15 utility app has been released for older boards (and not the newer 1.5.2 version)



If you install Asrock's Nahimic V1.4.15, which is outdated, it will not work until it updates itself to V1.5.7 and its new companion driver. V1.5.7 is the only version available from the Microsoft store. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/nahimic/9n36ppmp8s23?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

Somehow trying to get V1.5.7 to work and uninstalling and re-installing the Realtek audio drivers it also installed the full version of the Realtek Audio Console (see last post). Don't know how and probably can not do it again, so staying with what I have. I DO NOT need or want Nahimic. Thanks though for letting us know that v6.0.9079.1 is available.

When Nahimic3 updated itself to V1.5.7 and a new companion driver it quit working. No matter what I tried it would not load. Enough, I decided to totally uninstall Nahimic. It buries itself deep when installed. It took me an hour to get it completely uninstalled, including stopping services, purging the registry of everything Nahimic and A-Volute, and deleting its folders from Windows/System32/DriverStore/FileRepository.

I re-installed the Realtek high definition audio driver ver:9030.1_UAD_WHQL_Nahimic and the Realtek Audio Control Panel. Did Microsoft or Realtek update it because now it has all the functions the old one had.

If the current B550 Phantom 4 Gaming drivers have not cleared up the issues could you please send me the drivers w/ which you've had success.

TIA,

Jeff



I'm using the currently available from Asrock Realtek high definition audio driver ver:9030.1_UAD_WHQL_Nahimic https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B550%20Phantom%20Gaming%204/index.asp#Download
They have updated Nahimic3 to V1.5.2 but the latest is now V1.5.7.
You can install V1.5.7 from the Microsoft store. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/nahimic/9n36ppmp8s23?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

ASRock recently released this Nahimic 3 v1.5.2 utility package for certain ASRock B560 series boards & possibly for other recently released mobos

https://download.asrock.com/Utility/Nahimic/Nahimic3(v201125).zip

but it appears to be for next gen ASRock boards with recent chipsets like Z590/B560/H570 and uses Nahimic APO4 integration files instead of the Nahimic APO3 files and may not work for slightly older boards with Z490/H470/B550 chipsets. the Nahimic 3 v1.5.x app can use either the APO3 or APO4 set of integration files (but not both).

I got Nahimic to work with my monitor's speakers, and after uninstalling my speakers device and restarting my computer, it finally works on my headset. However, I can't notice a different whenever I turn on surround sound while listening to music and listening to the test provided inside of Nahimic. Nonetheless, I can use the equalizer now and sound equalization.


Besides myself and others you are not the only one. http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17422&title=nahimic-does-not-work-b550m-pro4
Several complaints on the reddit?Asrock forum about this.
MB companies should do away with this Nahimic crap and bring back the old Realtek Audio Console.



I have the Realtek Audio Console, but it's not as rich in features like the Nahimic App. When I installed the Realtek drivers, the Realtek Audio Console installed by itself through the WS.
