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 ?

E

Do not use the NahimicRestoreTool_1.0.7 anymore as it is several months outdated and is not working correctly anymore.

Download the new GenericNahimicRestoreTool.exe tool from here.

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

Happy to hear it, muzanshine!

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 Your nahimic driver seems outdated.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..

CD

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.

J

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.

Приложение Nahimic сломалось - требует критического обновления драйвера, но при его скачивании баннер с требованием критического обновления драйвера не исчезает. Средство восстановления также не помогло

Adjunto evidencia de nahimic funcionando en Windows 11 24H2

Amigos, tengo una solución. Yo descargué Nahimic de la Microsoft Store ya que se me hace menos complicado y totalmente automatizado. Tenia el mismo problema que ustedes. Les comparto link de DRIVERS nahimic para instalar desde DEVICE MANAGER/Sound, video and game Controller, buscan la carpeta ya descomprimida y marcan que igual subcarpetas e instalan.  https://global.machenike.com/es/products/l16pro2023  ( descargan el que dice "Controlador de Audio" )
Son de la marca de mi laptop pero al final drivers nahimic. Después de instalarlos, con la herramienta mencionada aquí "NahimicRestoreTool_1.0.7.exe se actualiza, reiniciarán el equipo y podrán usar el nahimic sin problema alguno. Espero les sirva.

ey bro, luego de haber instalado los conntroladores de audio, que hago? que mas debo de instalar?

P

Ok, let me break it down for You really easy. I don't care if You moved on to v4 apo. I've bought B550 Unify X board and i PAID for nahimic v3 APO which works. In win 11 24h2 nahimic DOESN't work. So get to work guys and make it work. I've paid for it and I dont care Youy had a change of mood. This is a lawsuit material. I will be writing to MSI to complain and ask for refund if You won't get Your job done. I really dont care You had a change of mood, You sold nahimic v3 with hardware and people paid for this to work so get to work.

P

For everybody concerned. Watch out - nahimic v3 APO doesn't work in Win11 24h2. Also, nahimic doesn't want to provide suppoprt for their customers who bought expensive hardware. They use the cheapest excuse ever - they made v4 apo so they focus on that. But they forget they sold a working products. This is what You call a proffessionall "company"? I will write everywhere possible to make You get Your job done. Maybe steelseries will have something to say about that.

AD

yes me too, I have also followed what they suggested but it still doesn't work on Windows 11 24H2, and finally I disabled the service from nahimic and really switched to viper4sound or dolby. goodbye nahimic

AD

i also understand this bro, i have also bought this product but there is no response from them so i have to wait until when because this concerns my audio work, so i think about the future for windows" next it will definetely be like this again.

MU

good luck with that lill bro... if u think this is lawsuit material ur delusional. good luck with ur lawsuit and return lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This steps worked for my Gamer Laptop MSI GF65Thin

Don't ya love it when they tell you "hey download this 4mb tool" and then after you get the tool it proceeds to download some gigabytes.

KS

Just try to open the tool 1.0.7 as an administrator it will work fine 

I

hello, i really want to try out the easy surround software out, but it just seems like it isnt working at all, while in the setup screen, where you sync your speakers, both speakers work, but when trying to play music or videos, only the main speaker is working, and the bluetooth speaker doesnt work at all, also the audio sample in the nahimic app also works on both speakers, so i dont know if there is something wrong with my laptop or wit the software.

M

So guys I found a sollution to your audio going wack! You wont be able to use Nahimic so if you don't mind Nahimic being unavailable, follow my guide.

1. Go to Settings

2. Go to System

3. Go to Sound

4. Scroll down to All Sound Devices

5. Make sure to mute all sound devices with "SteelSeries", make sure to mute the Output as well as Input devices from Steelseries, to mute click on the sound device you want to mute and drag the volume button all the way to the Left

6. Close settings, and restart your device!

This should work because if you follow these steps you completely cut Nahimic off from accessing your audio system and they can't alter the output sound.

Hope this works for you I've been looking for this 2 months now but I managed to come up with the solutuon myself wow!

D

Wait, wouldn't that just stop the nahimic from working?

Msi  x370 gaming pro carbon here all works fine after update

LB

What update? Explain?

V

For me it works wonderfully without any problems.

A

什么时候更新?

M

For anyone facing the same problem, (CRITICAL DRIVER UPDATE REQUIRED):

Do NOT use the NahimicRestoreTool_1.0.7.exe, USE v1.0.5 INSTEAD!! This is NOT a driver issue, it's their Nahimic app problem!!

LB

I already tried this and it didn't work!

V

Everything worked perfectly for me, no idea what problem you have. I have an AS ROCK Legend Steel motherboard

I'm literally experiencing this critical error over and over again, even after using the tool Nahimic provides. How can I get rid of this god darn error? Now I have to live with reduced audio quality and clarity.

LB

Trust me I know. I haven't had good quality audio in over 2 months and nothing they do fixes it. It's like they truly don't care about there users anymore ..like come on nahimic ..can you just release a whole new program that will work. Sonar sucks !

A

nahimic перестает работать после оптимизации системы.

по крайней мере у меня так.

если я ускоряю пк nahimic отлетает, и помогает только сброс системы до заводских настроек.

M

Let me tell ya, their restore tool have problems! You should use v1.0.5 instead!

LB

@chris Solomon can you possibly help me via TeamViewer with this.! I really need my nahimic back. It just randomly started doing this error driver critical crap and I need help because I don't wanna make things worse.. maybe you can check my driver's and what not ???

CS

 i don't have a problem helping you out, i am just unsure on how to exchange private contact info without everyone else and their second cousin's brother seeing it as well. just because you might be not have any nefarious need of that info, doesn't mean other don't either. openly posting that stuff is dangerous security wise.

MSI X570 mobo here.

I have been successful in restoring Nahimic.  That tool worked just fine for me...  I hope others can fix their issues as well. 

LB

how did you get it to work?? i have an msi vector gp66 12ugs and it still didnt work!

T

I downloaded the tool, ran the tool, allowed it to restart right away, logged back in, the tool automatically checked the tool worked...  Nahimic was up and running again.

To clarify, I am using a X570 Ace mobo.  I am shocked that this has affected so many people, yet the tool does not work for so many.  

LB

Yeah just ran it and it still says critical driver update required 😂😂
