Nahimic audio service

[Greeko85]

Hey everyone,
After booting my pc this arvo I noticed that something wasn't right-it felt like something was running in the background. Upon checking I saw this service I hadn't seen before: Nahimic, Nahimic svc32, nahimic svc64.
Upon researching I found that its a sound service, primarily 3d sound, associated with MSI products. Funnily enough though other than MSI afterburner I am not running any MSI hardware or software.
Anyone else have had this service pop up before? Is it part of the new windows update package perhaps?

Are you running Sonic Studio 3? It is listed on your motherboard and includes Nahimic

Nahmici isn't part of MSI, instead its a technology produced to make Headphones better. https://www.nahimic.com/about-us/
Asus and MSI both use the drivers for enhancing headphones.

I would have a good read of this thread:

You might want to have a look in your temp folder and see if you are constantly getting files written by the Nahimic service in there.

Basically Nahimic is part of Sonic Studio/A-Volute which is installed on Asus boards at least as part of the Realtek driver install. I haven't got an MSI board but I understand a similar situation applies.

EDIT
As I mention in another post. I've just repeated the problem on another Asus board with the Z370 chipset (mine is a z390)
