my brother's HP Spectre x360 - 15-df1033dx laptop got automatically upgraded from Win10 22H2 to Win11 24H2 (home edition) several months ago (likely thru windows update). so far, no serious problems running Win11

nice.
why not update the Nahimic APO4 driver to either 4.15.3.0 or 4.15.4.0, FrancoTecno?
or at least the 4.11.6.2 version of the APO4 driver {this one is specifically available from the MSI web site, which seems to be a "hotfix" version of 4.11.6.0}
the 4.15.3.0 & higher versions of the APO4 driver no longer include the somewhat annoying "Nahimic companion" app, which was dropped starting from the 4.15.3.0 release. -

If you have Nahimic Companion installed, try stopping that from loading at startup to see if that helps.
speaking of Nahimic companion, it no longer autoloads on startup after updating the Nahimic APO4 driver to either 4.15.3.0 {from Microsoft} or 4.15.4.0 {download & run latest GenericNahimicRestoreTool.exe tool to obtain the newest APO4 driver}
and MSI posted an updated Realtek Audio MSI driver - version 6.0.9918.1 a few days ago on their web site in December 2025

maybe it is a defective chip or speakers?
looks like failing or "defective" hardware to me

get an external laptop cooler for that laptop. seems it's sort of normal for certain MSI "gaming" laptops like the Cyborg 12U
or post your fan question(s) in the MSI Global forums "Gaming Notebooks" section and get a response there:

Microsoft removes Windows 11 24H2 official support on 8th 9th 10th Gen Intel CPUs
Sayan Sen · 9 hours ago
Microsoft has finally added the official CPU support list for Windows 11 version 24H2, and the company has strangely removed several Intel processors from it.
a "stupid" click bait article from Neowin (and you "fell" for it, Papusan)
THIS Windows Latest article will "dispute" that:
No, Microsoft is NOT dropping Windows 11 support for Intel 8th, 9th, and 10th Gen chips

Microsoft now says not to manually install Windows 11 24H2/Server 2025 MSU updates

Sayan Sen · 21 hours ago
Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 24H2 KB5044284 and KB5046617 can't install future updates. A workaround has been provided.
And of course Microsoft have to offer guides... They know their own trash best.
also mentioned in BleepingComputer
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/windows-11-installation-media-bug-causes-security-update-failures/this one is not an issue for those who obtained updated Windows 24H2 11 ISOs with the December 2024 (KB5048667) or newer update included (at least MVS & VLSC users can get these)
QuoteThe bug does not impact security updates applied via Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog website and does not occur when the latest December 2024 security update is used.

only old versions of Microsoft Store can be installed onto LTSB 2016.
newer versions of MS Store require LTSC 2019 or 2021, or even Win11 LTSC 2024

time for a new modded audio driver update for autumn 2024
because that link to Realtek audio driver package that was once version 6.0.9718.1 was unexpectedly updated to version 6.0.9738.1 around the end of September 2024 (I too had a busy schedule at that time, so I wasn't around to make an announcement of it); same download link but NEW version

Hiya, I'm the owner of a GT83VR 7RF, and I installed the driver, which successfully got Nahmic working, but sadly, my headphones and Xtreme Audio DAC ports don't work. I hear the connection being made when it gets plugged in, but sadly, the device doesn't open up any dialogue. There isn't any option for my Xtreme Audio DAC output.
In Realtek audio, the symbol of the headphone jack lights up, saying it's recognized as a connection, but there isn't any option to change the device or make Realtek separate the connections.
My device used to work with Nahmic 3 a long time ago, but support was pulled as it suddenly didn't respond to anything. They never offered Nahmic 3 on MSI's website, only Nahmic 2, but it was listed as a supported device.
I'm not sure what was meant by turning Realtek off and on, as there wasn't a turn on and off button, so I tried restarting it by restarting the Windows audio endpoint and audio server, but it didn't change.
nahimic 3.x support was removed for your laptop model in newer audio driver & nahimic apo driver versions because it either didn't have "proper" support or the support was spotty/buggy/incomplete.
only solidus1983's existing modded Realtek/Nahimic DCH driver versions may provide them but they are not guaranteed to work for the GT83VR 7RF laptop.
