 Topic: Nahimic driver outdatedPosted: 25 Sep 2020 at 4:18pm |

Since the last update to the Nahimic windows app (about 2 weeks ago), it doesn't work, because it needs at least v2.5 of NahimicService, and the latest available for motherboards (like my B550 Phantom Gaming 4) is v2.3.
All major MB manufacturers have since updated their driver packages, except ASRock, which still only has the v1.002 of their NahimicUtility package. I kind of need the features which Nahimic has provided (also, I'm a bit furious that a few months old MB is not getting software updates). I've tried contacting customer support directly, but I've yet to receive a response from them. Should I be expecting a driver update soon, or should I just buy a dedicated sound card or another motherboard instead? (I don't need a DAC, so it seems to be a bit silly for me to buy a dedicated sound card, but ehh.) |

Nahimic is a 3rd party feature that is basically just a software package. If your board supports it then the latest version of it should just work. Download it from it's official source (linked) and see if that resolves your issue. I will pass along the issue to my contacts at ASRock. I am sure they will update the download pages (where applicable) soon. |

Dear Xaltar,
Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately the latest version which I can download for my board at https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B550%20Phantom%20Gaming%204/#Download is version 1.002, which has version 2.3 of NahimicService bundled (check "Nahimic3 utility"). The Nahimic Windows APP (what you've linked) uses these services to provide its features, it's basically a frontend extension to the Nahimic software bundle. It's a Windows Store app, and the latest available version of it needs at least v2.5 of NahimicService to work. The Nahimic software bundle is provided by the motherboard manufacturer. I have already reached out to Nahimic's support, and apparently they've sent the updated version of their software package to all MB manufacturers. Most have already made the new drivers available to their customers, based on what I could see on the Nahimic forums, only ASRock users like myself didn't get an update (it's not just my MB model, no MBs have received updates to their Nahimic-related utilities). |

I see, none of my boards have it so I couldn't check. I suspect they are running
a little behind on updating the website. I know their web team is very small. In the mean time, try one of the driver downloads for any of the boards you mentioned that already have the update, I suspect if they use the same audio codec it should work with your board even if it is from another brand/model, unless it is coded to check for a BIOS string to verify the board model for licensing reasons.

Since I'm a SW developer with over a decade of experience AND I've lost patience and faith in an official reply, I've combined another manufacturer's drivers package with the one made by ASRock and stuff's been working for me since.
... and I'm pretty sure that based on this level of support, I'm not going to be a returning customer for ASRock boards. Literally all other manufacturers have updated their Nahimic drivers weeks ago. |

@saihtam Link sent.
You would think that the Asrock techs would get off their collective arses and update the Nahimic app download. |
