Sonic Studio won't open in WIndows 10 v1607

[Terepin]

so a new drive for RealTek showed up Version 7904
ftp://ftp3.realtek.com.tw/Realtek/Ge..._Win7_WHQL.zip
username : spcust
password : hwwk758z

I installed it. same thing... SS2 wont open the interface.

Why would you even think this would help?

Well, I switched to 2016 LTSB today (Pro was just far too intrusive and annoying), but SSII still works fine, and there is no problem opening it manually, nor through Sound Manager, again.

Drivers were installed automatically as per usual, then I updated them to 7904 via Device Manager manually, after which, I installed SSII from the ASUS files folder included in package from motherboard site.

All good

One thing I did notice though with SSII. Sound through my Senn's 598 headphones is utter rubbish, until one selects 7.1 sound, then it's a different ball game, with brilliant sound across the board, and the controls in SSII actually doing something



Try this, as I have a feeling that RS1 is locking files at will.

1. Disable your ethernet adapter/wifi temporarily (right click - disable), we will enable after were done.
2. Uninstall all the Realtek drivers and software, in Programs & Features.
3. Go to Device Manager and delete Realtek HD Audio if it's still there.
4. Search drives for any Realtek installed folders, and delete.
5. Reboot.
6. Go to Device Manager again, and right click on missing audio device, or if OS has installed a driver, do same. Update Driver Software, choose 'browse' and select the folder where you have latest driver located, let it install.
7. Reboot.
8. Enable ethernet/wifi adapter.
9. Download SSII that I have uploaded here: http://www30.zippyshare.com/v/VUsZXVr3/file.html
10. Before running, right click on file and select 'properties'. Under 'general' tab, if file is locked, tick 'unblock' (it shouldn't be, but just check).
11. Once done, right click on file again, then 'run as administrator', and let it install.
12. Reboot.
13. Run Sound Manager from taskbar and go to SSII tab, click to run, and all should be OK. You should be able to run from shortcut on desktop also.

tl;dr Install Sonic Studio version 2.2.16 and be done with it.

I don't need to. Version 2.2.22 works just fine here for me, besides, you obviously havent been reading this thread properly, else you would know that running a previous version will have no effect, as regards this problem, nor will it cure it.

Maybe if you didn't 'tl;dr' things, then you wouldn't post such drivel?

Because it does.

Sonic Studio does NOT crash because of audio drivers. Which you would know if you bothered to read crash logs.

Since latest update in combination with windows 10 1607 upgrade sonic studio no longer work.

I don't know what you on about, but the app dont crash. its just the interface dont show up. while the app is still working properly but you cant edit settings

I tried a couple of drivers from the ASUS VIII Hero list and driver version 7629 SS 2.2.16 works.

I am now able to open sonic studio and fiddle with the different features.

Does anyone know a source which can give me some good Equalizer settings? I don't like the presets and don't know enough to set a Custom profile.

With my old build there were some nice guides for Realtek but I can't find any for Sonic Studio.

Thanks.

it doesn't seem to be wise to use older drivers and older software versions to solve this problem. BUT i did it for sake of testing... and guess what,, still can't run SS2

I think its something to do with Driver Signature thing that MS redstone version has implemented into their closed source windows.
