    The Wireless error ALWAYS refers to an Intell dll. Are we even supposed to have Intell AND Killer drivers installed?

    Module Path: C:\Windows\system32\IntelWifiIhv06.dll

    You want Nahimic?
    Have you had no problems associated with it?

    It cannot update the Audio Driver if you've installed the driver in the OP since that's the latest one :rolleyes:

    Also, to make the Nahimic Effects work, open Device Manager > Software Components

    Then right click on each one of the following components and hit Update Driver and let Windows download the update automatically then reboot, Nahimic would work after that:

    A-Volute Nh3 Audio Effects Component
    Realtek Audio Effects Component
    Realtek Audio Universal Service
    Realtek Hardware Support Application

    Here is how I've updated the BIOS on both my MSI GT73VR Titan Pro and my current GT75 Titan

    First, go into your BIOS and try to remember or write down all the settings that are currently in place, especially your boot mode if it was AHCI or RAID and any overclocking/undervolting settings you may or not have had.

    1) Download the BIOS

    2) Ensure that the ZIP file is NOT blocked by following this guide: "Are you sure you want to run this file?" [Yes or No]

    3) Unzip the file which contains the BIOS and place it in the root of C:

    4) Reboot and enter BIOS by spamming the DEL key

    5) Go to the Advanced Tab

    6) From the bottom, you will find UEFI BIOS Update, click that

    7) You will now see a list of your partitions, keep choosing one after the other until you locate the partition which has the BIOS file, you will be able to recognize it easily by looking through the list of files and locating the BIOS file name

    8) Click on it and proceed with the update, you will be prompted to reboot, do that when prompted.

    9) The BIOS will start updating, during the process, DO NOT turn off your laptop under any circumstance even if it stays with a black screen for a long time, let it continue.

    10) You will eventually see the MSI Logo followed by another reboot, wait for that reboot then spam the DEL Key to re-enter BIOS

    11) Your BIOS will be reset to defaults at this point so make sure to reset everything back the way it was ensuring you select the proper boot method (ie. AHCI or RAID)

    I see you updated the OP.
    +1
    Would you happen to have the SHA256 of the latest bios?
    Possibly post it in the OP under the bios spoiler.
    EC as well?

    Chipset driver provides no benefit. You can use any version of Thunderbolt software you want.

    If anyone is wondering why the driver updates are so quick and rapidly changing is because MSI is slowly releasing the drivers across all the new RTX Models so I am browsing all laptops and getting the latest from each model.

    most of them yes The only ones which will not work are the WLAN/bluetooth depending on what WLAN Card, same goes for LAN as I believe you have the Killer LAN Chipset so you will need this:

    Killer LAN Driver 9.0.0.49

    Just as Ultra Male finds the drivers for the GT75, you can find the drivers for GT73 as well. Similar/identical components tend to have compatible drivers. Particularly for devices made by the same manufacturer.

    So some of the drivers here might work, some might not. Like Ultra Male mentioned, the Wifi Card is one of the devices that changed.

    I've seen that and they're already outdated. MSI Released the new GT75 Titan then the MSI PS63 Modern then the GS75 Thin drivers at the same time. The PS63 Modern has all the latest drivers

    Do you at least have the sound icons? check your device manager, maybe something you installed was nor properly done. Sound in particular tends to first uninstall everything, reboot, and then instlal the drivers, so maybe those were not properly installed.

    I would recommend reinstalling. Though before that, maybe you can check what exactly is the playback sound going through. I had a problem once where my sound got stuck trying to go through nvidia HDMI and thus would only be hear-able when connected to my TV for example.

    The latest Display Driver Uninstaller now has the option to fully uninstall your Audio Drivers, run it as admin then go to options and enable the Safe Mode Dialogue box in the options then relaunch it. It will then prompt you to reboot into safe mode, do that and once in safe mode, select u Audio Device then Realtek and let it uninstall the driver

    1) Make sure you have no Windows Password/PIN before doing this otherwise you may get locked in safe mode forever as your pin/pass might not work in safe mode

    2) make sure to disconnect from the internet before doing this otherwise the moment you get online after uninstalling the driver and rebooting, Windows will install whatever driver it feels like in the background automatically. Only connect to the internet after you have installed the driver and rebooted

    Try using Display Driver Uninstaller, go to the options and enable the Safe Mode Dialogue box at the bottom then restart the app. Now when you launch it, from the drop down list, select Safe Mode launch.

    Once you are in Safe Mode, choose Audio then Realtek and have it uninstall your current driver completely. Make sure you disconnect your internet otherwise Windows update will install whatever driver it wants automatically in the background.

    Then install the driver mentioned in this thread (I just updated it by the way so download it again).

    1) After installing Nahimic, you need to reboot otherwise it won't launch, same thing happens to me.

    2) Did you make sure to update the optional Realtek components then reboot before you install Nahimic as per the instructions in the first post? If you don't do that Nahimic won't be able to communicate with your sound card.

    Install the Realtek HD Audio Driver first then reboot, then install all other drivers before connecting to the internet. Once you have connected to the internet, to ensure Nahimic works properly, update the audio components and reboot yet again before attempting to install the Nahimic App from the Windows Store:

    Open Device Manager > Software Components

    Then right click on each one of the following components and hit Update Driver and let Windows download the update automatically then reboot, Nahimic would work after that:

    A-Volute Nh3 Audio Effects Component
    Realtek Audio Effects Component
    Realtek Audio Universal Service
    Realtek Hardware Support Application

    If you still can't launch it, uninstall Nahimic then reboot.

    Reinstall Nahimic then reboot

    Wait for 3 minutes before trying to launch it so that the Nahimic service is loaded and running

    It also allows you to modify stereo content into simulated 7.1 surround sound for 2.0 system.

    But if you want to play ASMR content, Nahimic's surround sound doesn't work well with it.

    Can’t you use another browser for that? You support the Morons apps :eek: Aka you increasing their browser statistics. Higher numbers means they think they have done something correct.

    Since our GT73 are running 6th gen CPUs, there are probably differences in controllers and drivers, so it's best to download the ones for our models from MSI.

    Howerver... sometimes intel chipsets pack a lot of drivers that they just might work.
