Hi;
I wrote to Asus support & Microsoft support about the NahimicService.exe and A-volute crash errors
I explain to them the SS3 Not the main problem
the issue from Nahimic Service in Services manager in windows 10 is problem
I do not understand why this behavior by them not to respond
Please write to them maybe understand to you
** Sorry for the English language

A Volute and Nahimic was sold to SteelSeries. these issue is not new. these has come since 1903. There is a reason for these and is not my place. there are people more intelligent to explain these on app level. But we will have to adapt. and I am gratefully that i have audio.

Now, i can be wrong. but since these 2020 is the start of UWP applications push by MS. some new changes are in. I check why the issue and is my Razer Seiren Elite. is working fine but SS3 do not like it. I will plug the other one i have tomorrow that is the beyerdynamic FOX and test. Since I am doing something new now, i can not test all scenarios. need to be ready for June 27 but i will test all sides since i like my music nice.

These 2 apps are not push by MS anymore. but are needed and is need on all Realtek OEM board

You may be have kind of conflicts with others devices/drivers/softwares, so in order to determine which one generates the conflict, try this :

- Disconnect all the USB dongle peripheral devices.
- Uninstall all the software of your headset/headphones/mic and/or peripheral devices which could contain audio modules like ROG Armoury (even if you installed the software for a device which is not audio).
- Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, but this time to prevent Windows Update from generating a drivers install conflict, disable your Internet connection from the start of the CLEANUP process until the end of drivers install of the INSTALL process (after the restart).

If everything works after that, reconnect the USB dongle & Install the software of your headset/headphones/mic/peripheral devices one by one in order to determine which one generates the conflict then that you can report it to the adequate support service of the problematic device.

I did thanks. Yes was my razer serien elite. even that the peripheral does not have any software at all, windows install 2 one for mic and other other for the wavetable since has internal dac. once that is off (disconnect from the pc) the SS3 will not crash. i think ss3 do not like my mic =) . is ok. I ask my friend to borrow it, since they have almost the same functionality and test other ports on my board. I will dig more if i can more data. thanks for the tips. the odd part is that is not always and if you try to access once 1 the first crash the SS3 give you a note. I will send that later, since i know what is what i can duplicate. i will send that later.

Hi everyone,

Thread, post & drivers package updated.

In these cases, when extensions are updated. we update the same version or there is a extra step needed. ?
Thanks for the info

Hi,

You already asked me this question, and I already answered you :

When you see an such update post with updated/added items to the drivers package, you just have to re download the drivers package then follow your UPDATE process (only what has changed will be updated/installed).

I have never seen Windows Update push A-Volute/Nahimic stuff before, but this auto update basically downgraded my Software Component 1.8.1.0



Edit: @Mokichu, how can I update the A-Volute Nh3 Audio Effects Component back to 1.8.1.0? I tried to a clean install but it didn't work. I tried to run the cmd script, that didn't do it. I tried to update via device manager "update driver" and pointed it to the folder where "A-Volute_APO_3_-_SWC" is but then it said invalid data.

Things are working but I am curious how to update this back?

Hi,

Follow scrupulously your INSTALL process with cleanup step, but this time to prevent Windows Update from generating a drivers install conflict, disable your Internet connection from the start of the CLEANUP process until the end of drivers install of the INSTALL process (after the restart).

This happened on my machine AFTER the INSTALL process. I've had the drivers installed since Windows 10 2004 came out (clean install on OS and Drivers) and it automatically installed the 1.8.0.0 OVER the cleanly installed drivers so I guess it's some kind of forced update.

[Stex-red]

you can always just disable the drivers updating that windows do (windows 10 pro)
i prefer doing that myself manually

I also went through what Cody did. My installation was working perfectly and Windows downgraded my software component. Then I did a clean install and this time nahimic service and avolute components didn't install. This past few days were a pain because of this. I then had to clean out everything once again and installed the final UAD from ASUS support and then I installed Mokichu's final drivers on top and they worked.

I tried to update the driver with device manager and if said invalid data. I'll try to roll back and report here.
