In order to update Nahimic driver, please launch the attached tool that will process to detect your hardware, check your system updates, clean and install everything needed to get Nahimic working again with latest driver update.
I can't be the only one who switched to GG Sonar.
(Even though I'm Japanese, I use Google Translate to share this sentiment. What a shame...)(Sorry if it's hard to read.)
this doesnt work, please fix it asap, its stupid frustrating
I'm using MSI laptop. MSI-NahimicRestoreTool-APO4-SWCv4.13.0.0-EXTv1.5.67.0_4.13.0.0_0x5229c255.zip is very useful. Thanks to erpsterc for the link.
which msi laptop are you using? mine is a ge73 raider 8re. i dont think that file is compatible with my system.
Cybot esto me ha funcionado, tengo un equipo lenovo y tenia el mismo problema, la solución:
1.- Desinstalar la aplicación Nahimic.
2.- Desisntalar en Administrador de Dispositivos el driver de sonido Nahimic y los de Realteck.
3.- Descargar desde la pagina de Lenovo segun el modelo de PC o driver de sonido en tu caso desde la pagina de MSI segun el modelo de tu laptop.
4.- Reinstalar la aplicación de Nahimic.
Espero que les sirva a mi me funciono.

hi guys, i got this one too before even after using the restore tool..
Then I go to services.msc and get the Nahimic Services is disabled. I change the startup type to Automatic and start the services.
now I get this one.
hope this one will help you all. thanks.
Switched to Sonar, thanks for nothing, Nahimic.
This is what I'm stuck with. Fix it now.
There are supposed to be other settings but each time I try to use the Equalizer. I get this as a result.
I don't want to have to update my PC to 24H2 which contains Microsoft's Spyware named Recall.
i have same problem.
just got brand new MSI aegis rs2 ai c2nvr9-1294us two days ago.
cant install nahimic
logged support request
At this point, MSI might need to change it's sponsor from Nahimic to Sonar. Made by the same people so, not a total loss.
it took me 1 month just to figure on how to get this nahimik to take effects on sound and it worth its tryings because now i feel like i got +100% sound boost for integrated in laptop speakers,now sound is louder than cooler fans.........1) download the driver store explorer and using this tool delete evrething named with nahimik,realtek and a-volute using "force deletion" 2) go to windows updater ,let it to install evrething missed 3) run the nahimik restore tool,you even dont need to reboot,just go to nahimik app and feel how wondeful it tweaks your sound
Nothing is working at all. It's still giving me this error even after installing that false fix.
FR this is frustrating AF
The longer this goes on, the more infuriated I get. Because GenericNahimicRestoreTool_v1.0.1.exe is not fixing anything!
I downgraded until it's fixed. I do not care if that's one of the worst things I could have done.
How did you do it?
This recent Driver. It's for 24H2, isn't it? I'm screwed... Not only were there audio issues for that version, but that's a version with the Recall Spyware.
"Is there a fix yet?"
no, Darkhai. don't expect an "immediate" fix, mostly because you have not specified what kind of computer or motherboard you are using, which makes things much harder for you and for others to determine what kind of fix you need
It's an MSI Sword 15 A12UGS gaming laptop. The Motherboard is MSI. I don't know how to get the name of the motherboard.
I have another post, also from 7 hours ago. It shows what issue I have but I think I've told you what my build is even if I didn't get the motherboard name, just who it was built by. With the problem at persistence, I may just have to switch to Sonar.
i found that even though the tool says it was successful, it is not always installing the latest files. and windows update doesn't always catch the new driver as availible. BUT, I found that checking for windows updates using Microsoft PC Manager DOES show the updated drivers and will allow you to begin installation, nahimic immediately started working after the update got installed.
Guys I think I found a solution to this problem. First you need to delete Nahimic, then you go to "Device Manager" and find "Sound,video and game controllers", open it you will see some items belonging to Nahimic and Realtek(R) Audio (note that you only need to delete Nahimic and Realtek items), delete them. Then you go to the website of the computer manufacturer you are using (mine is Lenovo so I will go to Lenovo's website) download the Audio Driver back to your computer, then you just need to reinstall Nahimic on Microsoft Store. I dropped and used the Nahimic Restore file many times but it still did not fix the error so I asked AI for a solution, it gave me this way and I followed it, finally I fixed Nahimic
tried to do this way, but it did't help
It didn't help
esto me ha funcionado, tengo un equipo lenovo y tenia el mismo problema, la solucion:
1.- Desinstalar la aplicacion Nahimic.
2.- Desisntalar en Administrador de Dispositivos el driver de sonido Nahimic y el Realteck.

I have followed the instructions. but the error message still appears like this picture.
I am using MSI Modern 14 B11M0 Win 11 Home Single language 64-bit (10.0, Build 26100.
me too
The first thing happened is that Windows Audio Enhancement which need to be turned on to allow Nahimic features work properly, getting going crazy, I stopped to hear music, just ragged and muffled sounds.. So I have turned Windows Audio Enhancement option OFF, and it was ok then. But Nahimic features, like equalizer, or surround or other features buttons that made music sounds louder - stop working.
After I have decided to reinstall driver by the link, I have the same issue.
How to make Nahimic work properly with Windows Audio Enhancement been on to here music and sound again? And how to install it now?
I DID IT!!!! I FIXED IT!!!!!
I used the restore tool 3 times. Ran it as "administrator" on the 3rd try. I don't know if it was the multiple restores or the admin. Hope this helps someone
doesn't work(
Same, i Acer Aspire Lite and this is soo irritating when your speaker volume is low down. I'm trying since 3 days and it is recovering

Mechrevo Questyle 16Super (Yaoshi16Super Series GM6IX8B) аfter installing the system, the audio driver does not work.
Dear, the new driver is shit on 24H2 as it causes alot of stuttering randomely it was never like that as I've been using it on my Legion 5 laptop for 3 years, fix this ASAP its unbearable.
vauv zor ekan
i did everything but it still didn't work. I'm using a huawei matebook d15 2021 windows 10 home edition
did you update the Nahimic UWP app to version 1.10.5.0?
also contact Huawei support and ask what kind of audio driver your Matebook D 15 2021 laptop uses and obtain the latest audio driver version from them.
Any MSI Katana 17 B12VFK users: Just install the latest APO4 driver from this link (under the Nahimic 3 title) and it works. No idea if it works with other models too, but it's worth a try.
https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Katana-17-B12VX/support?sub_product=Katana-17-B12VFK#utility
actually, this one is the very latest Nahimic APO4 driver from the MSI web site as of April 2025:
MSI-NahimicRestoreTool-APO4-SWCv4.13.0.0-EXTv1.5.67.0_4.13.0.0_0x5229c255.zip
then update the Nahimic UWP app to version 1.10.5.0
I tried everything. I updated the driver and the application, nothing helps. Lenovo Legion 5 16IRX8
UPDATE:
I got it running again by installing this file, that I found here: Lenovo-NahimicRestoreTool-APO4-SWCv4.11.6.0-EXTv1.2.54.0
After restarting, I got everything working.
I had this problem for many days on my Lenovo.
Suddenly it started working. I only shut down my laptop over night. Now I feel stupid, when I realized, that I had used only sleepmode for many days.
So I recommed for all fellow dummies too to RESTART YOUR WINDOWS, or SHUT IT DOWN, if you havent!
Nahimic (v1.9.22_APO3_2) stopped working on the B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac motherboard, the GenericNahimicRestoreTool_v1.0.1 tool does not help, after restarting the PC, a message about outdated drivers continues
MINE IS MSI BAZOOKA B360M BOARD AND ITS SHOWING RESTART MESSAGE ON EVERY REBOOT AND DOESNT OPEN UP ITS REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY VERY FRUSTRATINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Nyashka:
the Nahmic app v1.9.22.0 on your Asrock B550 phantom gaming 4 motherboard is well outdated and Asrock has not provided updated Nahimic packages for your board. you need to update the Realtek audio drivers to either 6.0.9703.1 or 6.0.9731.1 AND upgrade the Nahimic app from 1.9.22 to either version 1.10.4.0 or 1.10.5.0.
@Santosh:
did you install the latest Realtek audio driver from the MSI web site for your MSI Bazooka B360M motherboard (the link that I gave you for the audio driver is for version 6.0.9768.1)? and also try updating your Nahimic UWP application to either version 1.10.4.0 or 1.10.5.0
msi x570 ace WIN10 22h2
After using the GenericNahimicRestoreTool, it still prompts that critical drivers need to be updated.
It used to work fine, but I don't know when it started having issues, and now it prompts for an update.
GenericNahimicRestoreTool also not working.
MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max, NahimicRestoreTool_1.0.7 and from MSI not working. Why oldest drivers not working ? Is there possibility to disable updates check, block in firewall ?
Try this!, Solution for MSI series, my laptop MSI Delta AMD R7 5800 Win 11 and it works.
Download latest APO 4 driver in here: https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=A-Volute%20-%20AudioProcessingObject, download A-Volute - AudioProcessingObject - 4.11.6.0
And then extract to folder with Winrar
Go to Device Manager > select Audio Processing Objects (APOs) or Software component > find A Volute APO 4 Software Component > Properties > Driver > update > Browse my computer > select the folder you have extracted (check include subfolder) > next > after installed please restart computer > enjoy
It takes 1-2 hours to try to fix it,,, hhh lol, but I'm glad I can fix it
I fix it in the wrong way for almost 2 hours and I saw your solution. IT WORKED. And I register this account just to comment for expressing my thanks. YOU MADE MY DAY buddy, thank you :>
Happy to hear it, muzanshine!
Note: This step can also be used for laptops/PC other than MSI, good luck
How exactly do you install the driver? I've extracted it with winrar. But under device manager I have no APOs.
I'm on an MSI thin GF65 12UCX and am having an issue where it's saying Nahimic doesn't support my device anymore, but it's the audio software it uses.
I'm on windows 11 home 23h2. My laptop just has zero audio devices now.
When I open the Nahimic app it says "critical driver update required. Your nahimic driver seems outdated. to ensure uninterrupted use of the nahimic application, please use our one-click update tool, accessible through this link:"
the link takes me to here and the download tool doesn't work as it doesn't support my device anymore.
On my laptops support page on MSI it shows to download nahimic audio driver but it wont install.
What do I do to do your fix? I have no way to install the driver since nothing seems to be supported anymore..
Hello Josh, sorry about that
Make sure you have installed the Realtek Audio Driver and Nahimic Audio Driver for your laptop (find here https://www.msi.com/support/download) before using the steps above.
Can't seem to reply directly to your reply to me, but I reset my laptop and while it does have Realtek audio drivers installed, and some version of the Nahimic drivers it says my laptop is not supported anymore.
I've ended up creating a ticket with MSI about it to see if they can help. It was working about a month ago but seems maybe Nahimic have updated their software and don't support my laptop anymore.
I've tried downloading the drivers from the MSI website and again the Nahimic driver says it's not supported under my laptop, and the realtek driver says something like the service can't be reached.
It's all an absolute scam, haven't even had the laptop for a year and now the software doesn't even work on it.
What's even more hilarious is that link doesn't even have my laptop in the list. it has all the RTX 30 and 40 versions, but not my RTX 20 version.
Hi candra, boleh saya bertanya ? software nahimic di laptop msi saya ada tanda seru di bagian tab "Sound Tracker" apakah itu bermasalah untuk fungsinya ? saya belum coba untuk game yang kompatibel dengan fitur ini. Mohon jawabannya, terima kasih.
I'm sorry to hear that Josh, I hope you find another solution to this problem.
Halo ahmad al faqih, aku rasa tidak masalah dengan itu, aku juga memiliki tanda itu di Nahimic dan semua berjalan lancar
