Windows 10: Realtek Audio Console/Nahimic - Bass Management - no crossover option

Hi all,

First of a bit of back story. I do have a pair of Mackie MR524. Years ago I bought a Logitech surround system (Z906). The satellite speakers of the Logitech system don't sound too great (to put it politely). Because of that I have used the Mackies exclusively but then I remembered that Windows has a crossover function (frequency cut off, or something like that).

Only problem is that this setting is not available anymore.

Computer:
- MSI X57 Gaming Edge Carbon Wifi
- Ryzen 7 3700x

If I install the Windows generic audio driver the sound enhancements are there but the sound is WAY to quite (even at 100%). If I now install the Realtek driver from MSI the sound volume is back to normal but the sound enhancements are gone (sorry Windows is in German):





I already did a Google search and gathered that the enhancements wandered to the "Realtek Audio Console" app. Here I do have the option to enable the bass management but I can't set the cut off value:





If I enable this Windows plays the sound from the speakers and subwoofer simultaneously but it plays both at full spectrum. So the subwoofer plays up to 250hz and my speaker down to about 60-50hz.

I read on the EVGA FAQ that you can set the cut off value in reggedit but I'm unable to find this option:

I don't have a "AECBF" folder under "Realtek".

Is there a work around or is it just MSIs fault because they didn't implement this option into the Realtek Audio Console?

To clarify, this is what I'm missing: https://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/a...nz-windows.jpg

Realtek Audio Console does not work anymore

Thank you for your quick reply F.Farah,

I've solved the issue, by performing these steps:

- Unistalling the previous version of Realtek Audio drivers in Control Panel -> Programs and Features

- Restart

- Installing the Realtek Audio drivers from the manufacturer (MSI)

- Restart

- Uninstalling both Nahimic and Realtek Audio Console (Win+X > Apps and Features > select the App > click the "Unistall" button)

- Installing Nahimic and Realtek Audio Console from "Microsoft Store", by opening the link indicated in the manufacturer's website

This should've solve the issue, but I had another problem, and the issue persisted, so I've followed this thread written in pt-BR:

"Realtek Áudio Console não pode se conectar ao serviço RPC."

I've disabled Realtek HD Audio Universal Service in task manager, to improve startup time, and I had to enable it again,
Task Manager > Startup > right-click on "Realtek HD Audio Universal Service" > Enable, followed by another restart. Now both Nahimic and Realtek Audio Console are working.

 

Realtek Audio Console does not work anymore

Greetings,

After a recent windows update, I don't know exactly which one, Realtek Audio Console stopped working, it takes about one minute loading, than a message is displayed "Cannot connect to RPC service." I'm currently unable
to configure some sound features like 5.1 and 7.1 sound.

My computer also had another audio control software installed, called Nahimic, but I have removed it, because I don't use it anymore, since it not always work properly.

I've also tried the steps from another thread "Realtek Audio Console not opening. Gives error "Cannot connect to RPC service.", the software worked until I restarted my PC, and does not work anymore.

I hope someone can help have this problem sorted out.

Regards,

Daniel Almeida
