[UPDATED] How to recover Nahimic with one-click!

After a Windows update or an unexpected malfunction, Nahimic might fail to initialize properly and the following message could appear "Nahimic has failed to initialize". 

If you're experiencing any problem with Nahimic, you can try to recover Nahimic full functionality by using the attached Nahimic automatic restore tool.

You simply has to download and launch the tool with one click and it will process to detect your hardware, check your system updates, clean and install everything needed to get Nahimic working again. 

It is as simple as that! In case you're still experiencing any problem do not hesitate to contact us directly by submitting a new ticket. We'll be pleased to help you.

During the restore tool execution an error occurs due to to timeout exceeded. Looking at the logs, I saw that it happens on the following script - DownloadUWP.ps1

1、install NahimicRestoreTool_1.05.exe; 2、reinstall your audio driver package（download from your OEM support website）3、Reboot Windows

Please contue supporting the sound-tracking radar, preferably including it in the Sonar software so people like myself with hearing impairments don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a laptop in order to level the playing field.

I am looking at buying a $4000 laptop solely to use the Nahimic sound tracker software as I'm deaf in my left ear which is incredibly frustrating when playing FPS games with my friends and dying not because I've not heard the enemy, I do with my right ear. I was looking left instead of right as I couldn't hear the direction of the sound. The Nahimic sound tracker software would be a dream for me as I could see on the sonar the direction of the sound. It would even the playing field.

However, 9 days ago, someone on youtube commented the radar is no longer included?? Is this true? I don't want to spend thousands only to find I'm no better off.

Hello Millsy,

Radar sound is not working for any games I have tried yet on the Windows Nahimic app. I fear it is discontinued.

Please do not spend thousands of US dollars on a new computer. Have a friend build you a tower set up. Far less money, same gaming performance/ or better.

Hello friend, I think it’s best to check out the laptop current edition specs, MSI/Legion, for more in depth info. I have Lenovo’s Legion5Pro Gen 7, it’s got the Sound tracker engine feature that can be controlled from Nahimic console. I really can’t do without using sound tracking in most of my 3rd person games, either I’m going it with chaos or stealth.

But if you want a beast as a laptop or Pc that’s worth it and quells anything, you should check out “xotic pc” they’re the best I’ve come across on the internet! They’ll serve you right with detailed specifications, you can go through reviews on trust pilot before visiting their site.

A new version of Soundtrack v2 will be released in 2024, and more new games will be included then.

thanks, that helps a lot. Maybe bad network

JL

Warning! Do not forget to update NAHIMIC app via Microsoft Store after recovery tool!!!!!!!! WORKED FINE 4 ME!!!!!!!

When I received an error, I used the restore tool, but I did not get any results. I tried a few different ways. I wanted to install and try old versions of Nahimic. When I installed the old version, I first received an error, so I updated it to the new version with Nahimic Companion. I restarted the computer and it was now working normally, at least for now.

old version: https://www.filehorse.com/download-nahimic/

Hello! Yesterday, after updating Windows 11, nahimic stopped working. Restarting the computer and reinstalling the program did not help. What to do? Motherboard MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON MAX WIFI.

Hello there!


I have an issue with the app after my laptop updated to the latest Win 11 versión (23H2) a few days ago. When opening the app it shows the error message discussed, and as it is suggested I have already run the Nahimic automatic restore tool. However, instead of helping me get the issue resolved, the tool completely deleted the app an all its components from the system, and after a few minutes of having it running the PC shows a blue screen with a sad face and showing there has been an error and the system needs to restart. 

And there's where I am, it's a loop, it dosn´t matter how many times I run the restore tool, how many times the PC restarts or even if I uninstall/reinstall the app, it wont work. I already checked  Windows Updates looking for any driver update, also looked under device manager and everything seems to be working right but the app, it is not working anymore. Can you please help me? I would really appreciate it!!

- The app came installed by default on the PC and it was working right every time, and I haven't had any system issues of any kind until now :/

yes, the fix is very easy with one click, but the onboard sound is still not correct, the 'effects' status is activated or deactivated, there is no difference, it's been a long time, this has been a problem for a long time

Same problem after one "update"
I just wonder in folder system32 there are NahimicAPO3ConfiguratorDaemonModule.dll and NahimicAPO4ConfiguratorDaemonModule.dll
possible that make a conflict betwen 2 ?
Just tired of non stop installing and deleting drivers...

Thank you! I reinstalled my Legion 5 Pro with Lenovo Recovery Tool, and it was missing the companion app. Running this tool fixed the problem!

Patcher is not working , 

Beeing part of a driver package disabled a roll back on the audio drivers alone .

Can you post a clean install program for the compatible machines ?

(or at least distribute one for each machine ...)

it might take longer to run but at least it should solve any of these issue's.

and show you for certain if there are any issues with any of the systems you chose to equip with Nahimic.

Didn't realise the product was working so well that breaking it would be so painfull.

Please help fix this issue .

don't want to reset my system only to update a way into oblivion again

Day 2 of no Nahimic, due to it NOT BEING ABLE TO LOAD. Even after several attempts using their tool, it still will not work. >< This close to uninstalling it and just finding something else. Came with my MSI laptop, but I mean do we REALLY need it? 
I WISH it worked. MSI/Steelseries looking at you!!

PS: I have submitted a REQUEST, but no answer, no Nahimic! bah!!

Comment

I fixed it! Actually found the answer on the MSI forum. There is a thread there that goes into detail and the use of a third-party (removal tool), then allowed MSI to re-install the drivers for my machine, and left it at "working".  After rebooting and going to Windows Update, there were a couple of updates for REALTEK and Nahimic. Again, not "up to date" drivers, but it works, it is solid.

Please give more information please

Having the same issue.  Legion i7 Slim Laptop.  Have been trying to resolve for days, emailed in a ticket, not heard anything.  It is highly frustrating as it is preventing a gaming headset from working, however on a desktop without this software I have no issues.  Glad to confirm it is not a hardware issue, but frustrated as I would like that have a working laptop.

I receive an error when using the one-click tool.

The funniest part is that this stuff is comes with e.g. MSI mobos but when trying to adjust the tones, nothing happens. When I change the audio from Realtek to AMD HD Audio, this stuff starts working XD omg....

One thing that works for me with MSI, is when Nahimic doesn't work for me I go to sound sharing and just click the speaker or headphones that im using. It fixes the issue if i go back to audio and select what I want.

Open device manager open sound Uninstalle your sound driver. Restart your laptop. If it still does not work Uninstaller Nahimic then go here

Download and install Nahimic

If that does not work then only other thing is Factory reset
