I will be checking this out but wasn't noticing any problems before this update.

Testing....

Hi All
 
Did anyone noticed a change in sound quality with latest combination of firmware 0.30 + driver 0.2.1.2 ?

All working fine here.

So i test the update too.
 
Old drivers:
Firmware is v0.2B
SW 0207
 
new driver:
Firmware is v0.30
SW 0212
 
System Windows 10 pro 64 bit - Version 1909 - build 18363.476
 
Howto:
1. deinstalled old driver and i removed my own created "tasks"
2. reboot system
3. install new driver 
4. reboot
5. setup was finished with update firmware to v0.30
6. reboot
7. lets go testing ...
 
Tests:
1. Autostart of nuAudio is working without any UAC prompts  > 
2. change LEDs to my preference, without any problems > 
3. try to change sound with the quick equilizer function. No effect in changing bass, middle or trebble. With old driver 0207 its working> 
4. try to change sound with the advanced equilizer function, now its working. With old driver 0207 its not working > 
5. crackle noise at changing loudness was before not there , and now also no problem 
 
 
Summary:
Mixed feelings but at the end more postiv the negativ ;-). Good  that now nuadio is starting without any problems and advanced equalizer is working. Its a little pity that the Quick equalizer is not working. Not really a big issue.
 
I think it is really shame for EVGA. You made a really good hardware product, but EVGA stumbles over software issues. I press EVGA the thumps that they can improve the quality of the software. At my company where i am working, we have to use 8D to solve own problems or problems from supplier.
 
Nice weekend :-)
 
 EDIT:
One thing i have to tell you. Meanwhile i write this post and hear music with my Beyerdynamic DT1990 pro and the EVGA soundcard. I makes so much fun to listen music with. Often i think what great sound. It satifies me. 

I forgot to mention that the two scheduled tasks that are mentioned in the "Process Integrity Control" thread are still being created when installing this driver.
 
EVGA_NahimicAPISvc32Run
EVGA_NahimicAPISvc64Run
 
There are no triggers to start them and the arguments configured under "Actions" seems odd.
 
Can we safely delete these two tasks?

So i removed this out of my task scheduler (Aufgabenplanung). see screenshot.
 
I also removed also the entrys in registry: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
 
 looks like Nahimic have now created an Service "EVGA system information" to start nuaudio

I also test them, i got still crackle during volume change 
With UAC this is fine, no pop up anymore. But i got strange problem with the new Nahimic. When the two services are running, i cant here anything in Teamspeak. I only got crap out of teamspeak. When i stop the two Nahimic services, than fine sound agian.

TS works fine at my computer. Do you have really 2 services running. Also Dienste ? i have "only" one running.
Maybe you
- deinstall new driver
-Clean registry
-clean task scheduler (Aufgabenplanung)
- delete C:\Program Files (x86)\EVGA
- and install it again
 
So with your crackle noise. until now you haven´t answer to my proposal here....

No problems here, everything works great!

Hi Radiohorst, 
 
I have to correct me, its one service, but Nahimic is running x86 and x64 mode at the startup.
 
Only when i closed them both the sound is fine.
 
But you must also understand me, when i buy an expansive product like the nu audio card, i do not feel like testing forever. This product must be work. 
Before i got an Creative ZxR, without service, because Creative dont now them, but the card was running without any problem from day 1,  
 
 

The screenshot you show is from task manager - autostart, right ? So you can deactivate this both with right click and select deaktivieren..
 
or you go to registry and delete the keys:
I also removed also the entrys in registry: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
 
I write you in other thread, best way is to crosscheck with other pc. Do you really have nobody which have an pc and you can test der soundcard there ? Or you try an clean install of Windows on a old harddisk ?

Yeah, i agree that a shame for this  software issues. the software does not meet the good hardware. 
 
So aber jetzt ran und geb dir mal Mühe :-)
 

I don't get UAC prompts any more, which is good,
but I am unable to start the software.
Is there any logfile to find out what's the problem?

reinstall didn't fix the problem, still the same.
It is still not starting. After starting NUA.exe shows up for a second in task manager and then disappears.
The only thing I found, is that it creates a "user.config" file at "%AppData%\EVGA\NUA.exe_Url_bug3ez55lsvoywcmesoo0vqrjpoqay55\0.2.1.2" before closing

Broken driver, the menu doesnt work now. good job evga

The nahimic UAC nag is gone however now Team-speak 3 (And ONLY team speak3) sound distorted as hell on its output (can't barely hear my own words when doing a mic test nor my friends speech that my other friends hear perfectly clear). If i task kill the EVGA_NahimicAPI and its 32bit counterpart prior to launching team-speak 3 the distortions go away and it sounds as clear and crisp as it always had.
 
All other sound sources are good, can use discord and it sounds clear (well as clear as discords allow :)) but not in TeamSpeak 3 with the new nahimic files running. Tried both the x64 and 32 bit versions of TS3 (3.3.2 - The latest) and the distortions are present in both.

Thanks Rantoc, that im not the only one with the crap Teamspeak 3 sound  as hell is a good word for it. Same to me when i kill or end the both EVGA_NahimicAPI everything fine again.

Hello Nu Audios, hope you are all well!

I really love this card and it's sound but unfortunately, I also encountered "Stranger Things" with this card
from day one on. However, the new drivers V0.2.1.2 seem to fix my problems, but unluckily also introduce some new ones.
Here is my experience with the new drivers.

My system:
OS: Windows 10 Pro, Version 1909, build 18362.476
MB: Asus CH VII (Wi-Fi), BIOS 2901
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900X
RAM: 64GB GSkill TZ 3200 CL14
GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 XC ULTRA
SC: EVGA Nu Audio

Old drivers:
Firmware V0.2B
Software V0.2.0.7
 
New drivers:
Firmware V0.30
Software V0.2.1.2

Settings in Control Panel:
24Bit, 96000
Master Volume: 80%
Headphone volume: 45%
Headset: Sennheiser PC360 SE

Upgrade procedure:
1. Deinstallation of old drivers, several reboots
2. Removal of both EVGA tasks in task scheduling manager
3. Check, if all autostart objects had been removed
4. Removal of leftovers in "Program" directories
5. Removal of leftovers in "%Appdata" directories
6. Clearing all temp files, reboot
7. Running Setup V0.2.1.2 - had to do this twice, as after the
forced reboot nothing more happened (no control panel available),
then also the Firmware update came up.
8. First tests with several audio sources successful, except Teamspeak 3 (see below, Discord works just fine)

What has changed to the better with the update (at least for me):
- Windows UAC prompts are gone
- Audio sounds somehow different - I would say better
- Quick settings seem to have effect now in games and in browsers, this was only effective in media players before with V0.2.0.7

Still persistent problems:
- Microphone has still to be set to "listen" and the output sent to another device in Windows audio settings to work properly
- Equalizer settings will crack sound after middle to right settings, same as before with V0.2.0.7
- Load & save settings not clickable in control panel
- After every reboot, 2% are added to the volume settings for master and microphone - for example, if you set the master volume to 80%, and the mic volume to 70%,
after a reboot the master volume will be set to 82% and the microphone volume to 72%

New problems:
- Teamspeak 3 sound output is completely broken - even the own interaction sounds (user has joined, etc.) are totally distorted and downpitched
- EVGA Nu Audio Panel link in Windows start menu missing, Desktop icon missing
- Setup has to be run twice, otherwise the control panel will not be installed and show up (deinstalled and reinstalled two times to approve it)
- Entries in Windows start menu are missing, Desktop link missing

What also differs from previous version V0.2.0.7:
- There are now three entries in software control panel
- No matter if you choose to install the drivers to a different location than C:\, the folder "EVGA Nu Audio drivers" is always installed to "C:\Program Files\EVGA",
this was not the case in previous version as there were two prompts to choose location.
- Forced to run setup twice also persists on standard location on C:\

Temporary Teamspeak 3 fix:
As several users report above, there are two processes running - EVGA_NahimicAPI and EVGA_NahimicAPI (32Bit).
It is enough to kill the 64Bit process and leave the 32Bit process running BEFORE starting Teamspeak 3 (at least for me).
I hope this gets fixed soon! Thanks to the user The_Professor for pointing in this direction.

Thanks for all the feedback.  Let me work with our team to see if we can get these problems ironed out quickly.
