Msi Sound Effect Manager Software

Funny thing happened after this past Wednesday's Windows 10 update. The Realtek Audio Manager which I've been using for years is no longer listed or available in Device Manager. Realtek HD audio is enabled in startup.When I select 5.1 sound in the 'Configure Speakers' tab in the Sound/Playback window I have no sound other than for the Front Left/Right speakers.

The Center, Subwoofer and two rear speakers show the little animation that you get when you test the speakersbut nothing is heard.I've used the MSI utility to re-install the Realtek HD Audio Drivers for my motherboard. No change.Anyone have any ideas? HI WilliamManufacturers customize the Realtek driver to suit their needs, downloading Realtek from Microsoft will just result in the basic driver being installed.You need to go to the support page for your PC or Motherboard in the case of a self buildThen from there, download and install the version of Realtek they provide, which should have that Realtek Audio Manager, in their version.

Power to the Developer! MSI GV72 - 17.3', i7-8750H (Hex Core), 32GB DDR4, 4GB GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 256GB NVMe M2, 2TB HDD. DaveM121:Please read the next-to-the-last line of my first post. I HAVE downloaded and installed the MSI version of the Realtek drivers.Saltgrass:The motherboard is an MSI PC Mate Z270 DDR4, It comes with an installed utility which will scan the motherboard for driver updates directly from MSI, the manufacturer. The Realtek HD Audio driver is one of several things included in this scan. When Ifirst noticed the problem I re-installed this driver. Yesterday afternoon.For Both:In C:/Program Files/Realtek/Audio/HDA there is an executable file 'RktNGUI64.exe labeled (mouse hover) 'Realtek HD Audio Manager'.

Windows refuses to execute this file even running as Administrator.Something changed in Wednesday's Windows 10 update. I rarely have problems like this and don't do a lot of 'tinkering' with my system settings.Almost forgot: When playing a movie DVD now (yesterday afternoon), there is no dialogue on audio track 1 English. Plenty of music and sound effects but no voices. Audio tracks 2 (French), 3 (Spanish) and 4 (English Director's Commentary) all sound normal.I tried six different movie DVD's and all were the same. I have a Z370 ASUS board when I install the audio drivers, it installs the Audio console and a couple of others. One of the others will not run without the Nahimic service running. But that is not the one which sets the 5.1 audio and tests the speakers.You might try installing the drivers by downloading yourself.

There may be two versions, UAD and HDA. I think I am running the HDA version. The Audio Console almost looks like an App so you might check the Microsoft Store. Although it does show Asusgraphics.

Unfamiliar with Nahimic (something to do with a microphone?).I doubt following procedures for an ASUS board will help me much. MSI has selected the most current driver according to what happens when I try to update the driver in device manager.I have a query out to MSI but I really think this is a Windows 10 issue, as it didn't happen until AFTER the update on 28 August.The drivers are current and he Audio Manager application executable (.exe) is present in the Realtek Directory in Program Files as I explained above.

It just won't start/open now. It's no longer present in the Control Panel/Hardware and Sound tab, whereit used to be right at the bottom. It was also present as an application to open in the 'show hidden icon' tab in the task bar. Now it's not.SOMETHING in Win 10 will no longer recognize or allow this app to run. That's what I'm hoping someone can investigate. I'm having nearly the same issue. After a Windows update on 9/15 my speakers aren't even recognized by Windows.

It gives me an error that there is no audio output device installed. I'm running an MSI GS73 laptop.

I've run all the updates required, most everythingwas up to date anyway. I attempted to uninstall and reinstall the drivers.

System shows that the Realtek HD audio is enabled, but the app won't launch for Realtek audio manager, and it shows that I have the most recent driver. Device manager doesn't even showthat there is any audio output even recognized on my laptop. No idea what else to try, and all the 'solutions' I've searched require that the device is being recognized in the device manager. Was there no resolution provided that adequately resolves this issue??
