    here's the link to the updated A-volute Nahimic APO3 & APO4 SWC drivers
    (APO3 v3.5.3.0 & APO4 v4.9.1.0)

     

     

    the A-volute Nahimic APO3 3.5.3.0 SWC driver is finally available from MS Catalog (so effin' late by either the Nahimic creator to submit it to MS or MS somehow made it available early on to Windows Update but not on MS Update Catalog until much later) since Tue. Nov. 8

    Thanks will download later as I am about to go out to celebrate becoming full term now at work.

     

    Didn't know Clevo used nahamic.

     

    not just Clevo.
    even Lenovo (with some of their "Legion" series desktop & laptop PCs) as well as HONOR/Huawei, Medion, Thunderobot and on a few Tongfang Mechrevo laptops have Nahimic on them (most of these use Nahimic APO4 though)

    edit - I don't see Gigabyte on the list of Nahimic partners on the Steelseries Nahimic page as Gigabyte isn't using it anymore on 12th gen intel or newer laptops

    here's the link to the updated A-volute Nahimic APO3 & APO4 SWC drivers
    (APO3 v3.5.3.0 & APO4 v4.9.1.0)

    I decided to pack them into one zip file [APO4 4.9.1.0 became available on MS Update in early October while I found the APO3 3.5.3.0 SWC driver packaged in one of the recent Realtek USB audio driver packs released from Asus for newly released ROG B650 motherboards]

     

    on a different note, sometimes I wish I had found this Reddit topic sooner

     

     

    better late than never I guess

    @epguy3 Could you be so kind and get them files and rub them into one file for me sorry i mean zip them into one zip file for me. Once i have a free second i will gladly then make a new Mod pack.

     

    I will not include ASUS's SWC drivers in my builds, only MSI or MS stuff.

     

    unfortunately I won't be able to put them into one zip package due to MY busy schedule.

     

    here's the direct link to the Nahimic APO4 SWC 4.8.6.0 cab download from Microsoft.  and the direct link to the Nahimic Mirroring 2.0.1.0 cab download from Microsoft.

     

    if you weren't able to make a modded 6.0.9388.1 driver by now, that's ok.
    abandon or drop plans for that version and concentrate on making a modded 6.0.9414.1 version instead after MSI updated the realtek_audio_R.zip package on Tuesday Sept. 27 to 6.0.9414.1. (after the recent announcements of new MSI desktop boards featuring Intel Z790 & AMD X670 chipsets)

     

    edit - MSI has not been updating the realtek_audio_N_APO3 & realtek_audio_N_APO4 zip packages since mid-April 2022 and still contain the outdated 6.0.9336.1 driver version along with outdated Nahimic APO3 & APO4 components (hmm, has MSI been kinda lazy only updating just the realtek_audio_R package but not the other ones that bundle Nahimic?)

    @epguy3 If there is a new driver let me know as I should be able to pop something out this weekend.

     

    looks like MSI did release a new realtek audio driver in mid-September 2022

     

    v6.0.9388.1 > for a certain 12th gen intel based MSI PRO desktop pc; should also work on some modern MSI laptops & desktop motherboards as well

     

    and the Nahimic APO4 SWC driver will need to be updated as well - to either 4.8.2.0 or 4.8.6.0 from Microsoft

    MSI still has the outdated 4.8.1 package but has updated 1.3.8.0 extension driver included (haven't seen 4.8.2 or newer from MSI)

     

    btw, Windows 11 22H2 (aka. the 2022 update) recently came out on Tue. Sept. 20

     

    also, some of Mokichu's Asus + SS3 (sonic studio 3) based recent Realtek audio drivers include Nahimic APO3 SWC driver v3.5.2.0.  won't find that new APO3 driver version anywhere else

    I wonder if my guess is correct here but I disabled the Telemetry service and did notice that one of those updates posted (the July preview for LTSC 2021) did fail to install on all my PCs. Not a single one succeeded and the version for LTSC 2019 did fail too (some of them run that version). So I was a bit surprised when every single PC did "install", reboot and then rollback the system. 
     

     

    no such experience on my old HP pavilion computer running Win10 LTSC 2021 as it now offers the August 2022 updates like KB5016616 and not the older July preview update like KB5015878, GeekBear80
    some "telemetry" stuff turned off and automatic windows updates disabled and I only manually check for updates using either wumgr or windows update minitool (WUMT)

     

    moving on,

     

    here's one of those updates in August 2022 that's causing some problems for both Win10 & Win11 - KB5012170

     

    Windows KB5012170 update causing BitLocker recovery screens, boot issues - Bleepingcomputer

     

    will temporarily hide/block this KB5012170 update for a while from installing using wumgr or wumt

    Not sure if related my sound/volume seems to be reduced by half due to an update, not sure how I can fix it, tried system restore which works but it get's updated again in the background.

    I have noticed after updates occasionally my sound volume is weaker and 'flat'.

     

    However, if I open the Sound Blaster Connect app I use for Equalizer settings once after updating the sound returns to normal permanently. It's as if the profile I use for sound gets erased after some updates, but opening the app re-enables it. Not sure if this is helpful or if you also use a similar sound control app but hopefully worth mentioning. 

     

    guys: check in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), expand the Sound, video and game controllers section, click on Realtek(R) Audio to view its properties and check the driver version that is currently installed on there.

     

    the provided Realtek audio driver for Clevo X170KM-G (v6.0.9225.1) just doesn't quite have great sound quality folks.  audio driver versions from 6.0.9225.1 to 6.0.9235.1 are mediocre at best.  at least v6.0.9238.1 & some greater versions have improved sound quality.

     

    perhaps try these Realtek audio driver versions on the X170KM-G laptop: v6.0.9285.1, v6.0.9297.1 or v6.0.9319.1  or even v6.0.9357.1

     

    and forget about that 09_SBX folder - that has outdated Creative Audio Effects component driver (I think it's version 2.1.1.0).  get a newer version of that (like v2.1.10.0) from here.

     

    also, use wushowhide.diagcab, wumgr or WUMT (windows update minitool) to hide/block driver updates from Microsoft.  don't use Win10/Win11 without any or all of these 3rd party update tools.

    Right the project is on hold for now, firstly the new server i was using had a SATA Controller fault so thats been RMA'd after it killed the SSD's (Data is safe), but also i have now been hired by a Corp and will be discussing about their IP side of things. Don't want to cause issues with the new employer by doing the driver mods and then them getting hit with DMCA's.

     

    Once all that is sorted i will then update the thread, if i can't continue the project i will help someone take over said project as not to leave everyone stuck.

     

     

     

    awww ok.

     

    just saw this unexpectedly from the Station Drivers site a while ago this THU 8/11 - v6.0.9381.1 UAD MSI driver.
    seems to be for recent MSI laptops (i'm not sure which ones)

    at long last, MSI finally updated the realtek hd audio univseral driver for some recent MSI desktop motherboards to a new version since mid-April (about 3 months since) - it's now at 6.0.9363.1

     

    also, Nahimic UWP app from MS store was updated to 1.9.9

     

    and Nahimic support has only info about Nahimic 3 as they removed info about installing Nahimic 2 (non-uwp) as that one is discontinued and only support Nahimic 3.x (uwp)

    doh!   grrrrrrrr....

     

    MSI recently and unexpectedly updated their Realtek UAD drivers for recent MSI desktop motherboards to version 6.0.9326.1 (seems like MSI is picking up the pace with some of these driver releases lately)

     

    so time to do another updated modded driver again, solidus1983 (whenever you're ready)

     

    MSI recently did it again - updated the realtek audio drivers to version 6.0.9336.1 on April 14th

    (UAD MSI RTK) (UAD MSI - Nahimic APO3) (UAD MSI - Nahimic APO4)
    edit - the Nahimic components, however, are not updated though

     

    and there was also an older 6.0.9313.1 driver release for newer Stealth 17m model laptops w/ 12th gen Intel hardware (released either end of March 2022 or beginning of April 2022; when v9326 came out for MSI motherboards in late March 2022, the 9313 version was not available yet)

     

    edit - Nahimic APO4 SWC driver v4.8.0.0 from MSI - too bad MSI didn't include this new version in the updated 9336 Realtek audio drivers
