I was testing the leaked Mobile G Sync driver for example, which works in Windows 10, but Windows update spots drivers it has it's own versions of and updates them to their own mandate. I hate this idea, I usually install all the updates if they are Windows specific but 3rd party drivers I like to choose. There is no way to stop Windows 10 from using automatic updates, the only choice is scheduling when the computer will restart. You must use the old audio drivers with CP2, otherwise it won't open and crashes. N.B - The latest Realtek driver will not work with CP2 though, that was the first thing I discovered. I haven't seen anyone say they do not work under Windows 10. Remove Nahamic and the Realtek drivers, after restart your system will be using the default Windows controller. If you do a search on these forums you will also find a downloadable for Cinema Pro 2. What you can do if you don't like the new setup is go directly to Realtek's page and download the previous driver from there. I also use a pair of Razer 7.1 headphones a lot of the time too so not a big issue for me. I find though that max volume causes some vibration near the speakers when certain frequencies are hit and the slightly lower volume stops that but overall is still loud enough. The bulk of complaints are because most people feel that Cinema Pro 2 was better and I must admit that I think the overall maximum volume of my laptop does seem quieter than when I was using CP2 and the last version of Realtek HD. Increasing bass settings in Nahamic does appear to give distinctive bottom end in the sub harmonic range. Although I am unable to test the sub-woofer independently anymore, it does appear to be on and working when gaming and listening to music. As the GT72 is only 'virtual' 7.1 anyway, I am guessing that this is where the effect is now coming from. But in the Nahamic UI there is an option for virtual surround which is switched on by default. Setting to 7.1 via the Windows speaker control panel results in no sound except for the stereo fronts. Now that is gone there is no way to actually test the sound. Previously, you could set your speaker config in the Realtek HD panel to 7.1 and when tested it played audio from all the correct points, including the sub. I am still contemplating if using Nahamic and the new Realtek driver is a good or a bad thing. Quite a few have complained, they don't like the way the new audio driver works and they're not happy with the Nahamic replacement either. Installing the Realtek drivers directly from their webpage results in the same thing, it is not anything to do with the driver from MSI. That's actually working the correct way apparently.
