Managed to get my audio working after using the provided tool here. Asrock drivers Realtek sucks big time. Does not work at all. MS diagnostics tool point at the driver being bad. That drove me to find this page using Nahimic app. ((thankfully). 

But seriously, this is the first time I am seeing audio driver provided by motherboard manufacturer being so screwed up.

If there is nothing called Nahimic in Device Manager -> Software Components.
Then it indicates that your computer is not built for Nahimic, then you must contact the manufacturer of your computer. And then it doesn't help that you complain here to Nahimic, because Nahimic has nothing to do with this.

Hi, new here. Ok I have a 10th Gen MSI laptop that uses Nahimic 3. Try the above Restore Tool & it proceeded to install older drivers. I had to use Windows Update to put in the latest ones. So my take is & I have 1.0.5 Restore tool too . If 1.0.7 is their latest it needs to be updated.  It installed 3 drivers ALL older than what Windows Update has had for months. An older audio, mirroring & I forget the other one. Kind of a shame to come here & get last years Nahimic 3. Oh well, I tried. And yes it still worked, but still older. The Microsoft Store is not the place to go to except for A Volute, as far as my experience.  Updating order? Different updates come out all the time. Realtek I always do 1st if Nahimic has one too. Otherwise order?  I followed MSI/Nahimic recommended order,  it's "It's all bullshit". Realtek's InstallShield setup.exe is all junk in your trunk. I found 9 gigs of 6.0.9652 in my Drivers Store, drivers for every computer ever made that uses Realtek audio. Then if you use Realtek's uninstaller, it will remove all Nahimic stuff, all Intel audio drivers & then break you audio too. That's All Bullshit! I no longer use Realtek's Audio InstallShield POS setup.exe. Good luck out there. Maybe someday Nahimic will come out with one installer for their audio instead of the 3 or 4 one needs to install now.

@Ronn Vess what did you do to make it work.! I have not been able to use it for months !

CS

that's not necessarily true. i find myself having to reload all my stuff after the factory installed SSd failed. process is being eased by having the factory restore media available, but not by much. my system came with nahimic 3 installed, but after upgrading from default win10 1803 > win10 22h2 > win11 23h2 > win11 24h2 , nahimic was no longer working properly. the devices (which i know for a fact should have been there listed in software components (a-volute nh3 driver) was not. the restore tool was not fixing it either. I had to install and older version that registered the drivers using pnputil.exe before the avolute driver would appear. THEN the restore tool worked properly.

LB

@Chris Solomon ,can you possibly help me .I am not techy and would love your assistance!

S

You just realized that your computer was not completely up to date. The premise for your computer to work as it should is that it has the latest updates.

T

Cool reply. 

Yeah, this is to do with Nahimic.   I am proof of it!  

HP

FUCK your mother and sister for this level of responsiveness and importance of users. bastards

NH

THIS IS WHAT IM SAYING NIGGA!

S

EASY AND VALID FIX:
everything they said is bole****. just (windows 11) go to windows setting > Apps > nahimic > {reset}
DONE!!!

LB

I tried that. Doesn't work.

D

I have tried it too, but it doesn't work for me. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall all the audio drivers again?

RV

Wishful thinking, bigly time!  Newsflash, that reset button is for dummies. Most the time when sumtin/software/Windows is broken. That reset button will AIWAYS be useless. You can try, but for how many hours? Check your other apps to see if their broken too. I ended up using System Restore to fix busted software because sometimes there is no simple fix.

KC

thank you. this works like magic. 

S

Update: after а while this method stopped working so found а more legitimate way:
Device Маnаgег > Audio Processing Objects (APOs) > Nahimic Nh4 Audio Effects Component > Properties > Driver > Roll Back Driver. 
it will take it back one version. atleast worked for me. Good Luck.

P

nahimic support you suck at your job, please delete this page and go find some other job.

LB

Exactly I don't see how they are helping by automating the same message which isn't the fix and it's basically useless I haven't been able to use it over a months nd I've done everything they have said and more !

Or your installation skills sucks, i have zero issues with it because i know the order how to install it.

1st install your realtek audio driver

2nd install your intel smart sound technology driver

3rd install nahimic

When a new driver releases (realtek) and you install it using their installer then nahimic gets auto deleted. To fix it reinstall nahimic AFTER the realtek update.

SD

Michel, don't be ridiculous. Even with the correct drivers installed, there's no way to download Nahimic itself except through the Microsoft Store and then it just doesn't work. The restore tool is useless, the GG thing takes ages to download even though it's only a couple hundred MB and it also doesn't do shit. I can't believe Lenovo chose this mess of a company as their official partner. What a joke.

LB

Ok but the problem is I've done all those exact things you've done and even reinstalled windows and then updated all Windows updates and etc that needs to be updated and boom back to it not working so whatever you did worked your way but sadly for others who use MSI and etc we do not have a solution. And we shouldn't have to do all that if it's a "Restore Tool" because some people don't want to have to go and do all those extra steps just to use the sound on the computer. I've done everything you did and even reached out to support via live chat and did remote assistance and they couldn't even figure it out so before you say someone sucks at installation and doesn't have the skills I'd check my own facts before actually handing out more Intel that doesn't work like this dumb restoration tool that doesn't work!

NH

MichelN86, realtek is pure bullshit, it forces me to download an outdated driver update from like 2002, and it keeps on telling me the same bullshit without letting me hear a single damn thing, i wonder why stuff like this exist, when a simple engine can reroute your computer entirely.

LB

Ok this is getting ridiculous ! WTF IS GOING ON NAHIMIC! IM TIRED OF USING Stupid APPS LIKE FX SOUNDS AND SONAR That DONT WORK AND SOUND LIKE CRAP!

PLEASE FIX THIS AS WE ARE ALL SITTING HERE LIKE WAITING ...DUUUURRRRR

Hey Lenovo Employee here! Im not here to help just here saying the tool above works just fine!

CS

i was having this too. i needed top have the avolute nh3 driver properly registered with the os before the tool will work. you will. need a copy of the proper drivers, in order to run the following script, but it *should* fix the issue, assuming your system is made to run nahimic 3

@echo off
echo [****]RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR[****]
echo.

i have a Lenovo legion 5 15ACH6H and i have tried the restore tool multiple times but whenever i restart my pc it does not work. Can you help?

Same Issue with my MATEBOOK D15 2021

A

Yeah i am sure it is a bug causing that and i hope they get it fixed to make it stable.

S

First delete the nahimic app from your computer and then use the restoretool, it will automatically install the app again. For me it worked :)

A

@Shadow. I have tried that several times and it just still does not work and thanks for the hint.

JY

i have the same problem。the tool doesn't work at all

JY

在任务管理器的服务界面找到nahimicservice,启动它,然后迅速点击nahimic应用程序,就会发现可以正常使用。但是一般几秒过后nahimicservice会自动停止,又无法使用。

A

yeah exactly what i am facing. i am sure they might work on another update and deploy it to fix that and so finger crossed.

U

Hey Lenovo Employee here! Im not here to help just here saying the tool above works just fine!

AS

sane issue with this fuckin app
even my audio drivers are not working

SD

I tried the restore tool multiple times with another reset after the last one, nothing. I don't even get logs, it just tells me to open a ticket at this link. I have a Lenovo Legion 16ARX8.

To resolve the problem of Lenovo products not opening, users can address this by downloading the Nahimic one-click install. Following the download and installation of the software, it is advisable to restart the nahimicservice and ensure that it is operational in the service settings.

MB

i too getting the same issue , please help me, ibought my laptop loq i5gen12 rtx2050 recently

it dose not work  after I download the NahimicRestoreTool_1.0.7.exe and restart my computer.

I restart my computer once again,and then it works.

АП

При запуске программы Nahimic стало появляться это сообщение (скрин). Перешел по ссылке, скачал NahimicRestoreTool_1.0.7.exe, запустил, весь процесс программа провела до конца, предложила перезагрузиться. Перезагрузился, запускаю снова программу и вижу тоже самое сообщение. Отправляю запрос сюда, как и написано на скрине. Что делать, как лечить?  

S

Просто удали саму прогу и открой restoretool, он сам всё сделает. Мне помогло

АП

Благодарю за совет. Я удалил, открыл restoretool, прога снова установилась. Открываю и снова ошибка. Я еще раз удалил, и еще раз через restoretool установил. Все равно выдает эту ошибку.

Because the Nahimic APP was not working,
I used your *NahimicRestoreTool_1.0.7.exe
After rebooting, my Bluetooth headphones experienced problems
I removed all sound drivers and reinstalled them, but it didn't help
The headphones successfully connect and pair, but there's no sound. Repairing doesn't work either
I've tried connecting the Bluetooth device to other devices, and it works normally
My computer model is Legion 5 Pro 16IAH7H

T

just happen to me, my headphone its connected but do not produce any sound, so i update my BIOS using Lenovo System Update then it WORK NORMALY! 

ZP

I had the same thing. I just went to services and activated it manualy and for now it seems to be working like it should.

my Legion 5 pro got problem with laptop mic. Im pretty sure it is because the window update.

Привет всем! Хочу поделиться способом решения проблемы с отсутствием звука на ноутбуке Lenovo 15IRX9 под управлением Windows 10, при этом использовал драйверы, предназначенные для Windows 11:

  1. Для моего ноутбука на официальном сайте Lenovo были доступны только драйверы для Windows 11. Я решил попробовать их установить на Windows 10. Драйверы установились без проблем, но звука всё ещё не было.

  2. Затем я установил программу Nahimic, предназначенную для Windows 10.

  3. После установки Nahimic, исчез из диспетчера устройств, но звук наконец-то заработал.

Этот метод оказался успешным, несмотря на первоначальное отсутствие звука после установки драйверов для другой версии Windows. Если у вас аналогичная проблема, этот подход может помочь вам также. Удачи!

привет, бро, а нахимик то работает у тебя после этого ?

K

i have the same issue, and i tried reinstalling Realtek audio driver and the Nahimic driver and app but nothing worked, i think i just accidently deleted something that were named SteelSeries 2 days ago from the control panel and now today i tried using Nahimic and it wouldn't work.

my laptop is the MSI GF75 Thin 9SC, i tried reinstalling its audio driver from the MSI page itself and still didnt work.

K

solved.

method: slept and woke up 3 times and it worked, its a pretty effective trick, you should try it 😂

Lenovo Legion user

Cтояла 11 винда - все работало, но мне 11 не зашла, откатился до 10, теперь динамики ноута в трубу закатались. Клоню на то что не могу на 10 винду драйвера скачать с Леновского офф сайта.

Есть ли решение для 10 вин?

Что только не пробовал (точнее все)!

Но возвращаться на 11 не особо хочется конечно

T

Try to uninstall audio driver from windows device manager and reboot.

it doesn't work

Gigabyte Aero user. My computer just updated & Nahimic is working again.

Не получается обновить драйвера Nahimic (1), поскольку во время этого процесса возникает ошибка (2). 
На данный момент установлены все последние обновления windows 10 (ноутбук honor magicbook 15). 
Примечательно, что никакие из способов обновления драйверов, описанные некоторыми пользователями тут, мне не помогли. 
//
It is not possible to update the Nahimic drivers (1), because an error occurs during this process (2).
At the moment, all the latest windows 10 updates are installed (laptop honor magicbook 15).
It is noteworthy that none of the driver update methods described by some users here helped me.
I hope for your feedback if you know the solution to the problem presented.

R

Была такая же проблема
Попробовал обновится через впн, помогло

OY

Попробуйте обновить драйвер: A-Volute - AudioProcessingObject через обычный центр обновления Windows. Мне помогло!

ЕЙ

Только что скачал опять restore tool 1.3.5 с этой страницы, он обновил драйвери всё заработало.  Ноут GIGABYTE Aorus 7 KB. До этого вообще ничего не помогало.  Перед этим, как все получилось, winows 10 обновления устанавливал пару раз. Обновитесь, попробуйте 

GIGABYTE A5 K1 IT'S SUCCESSFUL

First install FX Sound, use it for 3 days, then install Nehemic until a conflicting application statement appears, after that install NahimicRestoreTool_1.0.5.exe, don't restart it first, but delete the FX Sound application, & restart your laptop. Hopefully it works.

WOWW IT WORKSS!! THANKSSS.... 🙏
