[DRIVERS] Realtek Audio (MB | Intel 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx & AMD 3xx/4xx/5xx)

[HGnDC]

I just updated my Z390-E to the ver. 6.0.9030.1 drivers, closely following the Cleanup/Install procedures. I ran the SS3 Cleaner tool in an attempt to fix the faulting NahimivSvc32.exe app. I also had to manually reinstall Realtek Audio Console. (I have not yet reinstalled either Sonic Studio app.)

Result:

Device Manager confirms that the driver is now ver. 6.0.9030.1.

The faulting application NahimicSvc32.exe has returned .

The speaker icon in the lower right corner of the screen shows I have three playback devices, 1) Speakers (Realtek Audio), 2) Dell UP3017 (NVIDIA High Definition Audio), and 3) Realtek Digital Output (Realtek Audio)

I can only use device #1 (Speakers) in my web browsers (Firefox or Edge); if I select device #3 (Realtek Digital Output) there is no sound.

However, my music apps (Qobuz, iTunes) allow me to play on either device: #1 (Speakers) or #3 (Realtek Digital Output).

So for now I'm keeping audio on device #1(Speakers), and have disabled the Nahimic service.

Is this about as good as I can expect? Many thanks for advice.

Further Information: I discovered that a Nahimic service was taking up all my CPU processing (screenshot), so now I have disabled all Nahimic services from starting using Autoruns. Does anyone have any advice about what these Nahimic apps are doing or trying to do? Thanks.

Since I've had no responses, I will try once more with a simplified question: Given that I've disabled of all the Nahimic exes from loading (NahimicSvc32Run, NahimicSvc64Run, NahimicTask32, NahimicTask64, and NahimicService) since they either won't load or use up all the CPU time, can I just delete these exes from the folders "syswow64" and " system32"?

All advice greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Delete the ThirdParty folder from your drivers package (AUDIO_Realtek_UAD_ASUS_ROG_SS3_MB_v6.0.xxxx.1) then re-follow scrupulously your CLEANUP process then your INSTALL process (without installing SS3 & SR3), for the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow your UPDATE process (still by deleting the ThirdParty folder from your drivers package).

Thank you! I'll get on that now.

The Realtek Audio Console from the MS store will not run. I am getting the error "Can not connect to RPC service". I have been through all 46 pages here and can only find one reference to it on page 18. But nothing there helps. I have followed the clean and install directions here very carefully and all seems to install fine with no errors. I can see the 6.0.9030.1 driver and everything else works fine. I just don't have a Realtek console to control stuff - bass, speaker distance, etc. I'm on a clean install of Windows 10 2004. I did try other drivers multiple times before I discovered this thread. I was looking for the Realtek console and it would never appear. I have cleaned thoroughly with both Rapr.exe and DDU.

Prime Deluxe II. 10940X. VROC and Quadro 5000 RTX. Any suggestions?

Edit: After searching and trying to fix this for a week - Enable "Realtek HD Audio Universal Service" on Startup tab via Task Manager.

Thank you! I'll get on that now.

Hello MoKiChU, new update works fine and sounds good. THANK YOU!

Hello MoKiChU,
new update works fine and sounds good. Thanks for that.
I have a question that you might can answer: How do you check if there is a new update available?
I wanted to know because I checked the batch files and they are kinda static, so you somehow always have to check beforehand and find the specific link/command for a specific version. An "auto-update-finder/checker" or even better: "auto-updater" would be nice, but I guess that is not possible, right?
Another question or maybe guess: Why the updatest are always some weeks behind? E.g. todays post is about the update from 14 days ago. Is the reason of the same kind I have mentioned above or is there another explanation?
I am really interested in this, because I am asking me this questions since some months. Would be really kind if you can answer detailed. Thanks ahead.

Edit: PS: What about the third party drivers? They are even older (some months old). Are there no updates for them or is it hard to find them? (To be precise: "SS3 Extension Driver : 1.2.14.0 WHQL [02/03/2020] and NH3/SS3 APO SoftwareComponent Driver : 1.8.4.0 WHQL [15/07/2020] "). How to check it?

Hi,

MoKiChU is sharing his driver packages for free and you ask him why his packages are not better or more up2date?

@ MoKiChU: Great work. Thank you supporting us.

Just added in. Sorry i was testing something.
@MoKiChU i see that these version 6.0.9034.1 WHQL and the one before, the realtek driver is not on the apps in windows. I know that they are installed. and works, but I can not find it as normal app. I will let yo know any issues if one comes. thanks as always!

I also noticed that the driver itself does not appear in the add/remove window as it usually does. Is this by design?

The next question is, when uninstalling, if it's not in add/remove; is it enough to just simply delete the driver files in Driver Store Explorer before updating?

THanks for the good work @MoKiChU
