Nahimic effects can work with any device, speaker or headset with Bluetooth, USB, 3.5mm jack or HDMI connection.

When you're using an analog device (internal speakers, jack or SPDIF), Nahimic will apply automatically the effects on it.

When you're using a digital device (USB, HDMI, Bluetooth) Nahimic will ask you if you want to optimize it with Nahimic audio processing. Because some digital devices can already have their own audio processing embedded, so we let you choose if you want your default audio settings or Nahimic audio effects on it.

Nahimic’s UI will adapt to the new default device.

External sound cards have their own drivers, audio processing and software which are completely independent of Nahimic.

S/PDIF and Optical devices are not supported by Nahimic because they are often used for specific audio experiences that we do not want to affect.

If you plug one in, your driver will detect them, but Nahimic’s UI will remain disabled on audio page to show that Nahimic’s effects won’t be applied either to the S/PDIF or to the Optical.

To choose a Nahimic compatible device, you can click on the disabled audio and / or microphone pages: a message will then appear, inviting you to choose an available and compatible device.

The peripherals devices that are compatible with Nahimic are as below (output is for audio devices, input is for capture devices):

Nahimic only supports jack devices. USB headsets have their own drivers, audio processing and software which are completely independent of Nahimic.
