Onkyo SE200-PCI sound card windows 10 driver issues / disable immezio 3D effects
Apologies for the Google-friendly title, I'm hoping people experiencing the same problem will find their way here.
Onkyo download page: https://www.jp.onkyo.com/support/pcau...d/se200pci.htm
Current version is 5.60C, last update was 2012 to be compatible with Windows 8. Driver package 5.60C installs without issues on Windows 10 64 bit. The AudioDeck utility installs as well.
However, all is not well:
On installation, Immezio 3D effects are enabled. This locks the sample rate at 48 kHz. 44, 96, and 192 kHz cannot be selected. Deselecting the Immezio 3D effects prompts a reboot, but the Immezio 3D effects remain enabled after rebooting. The card is stuck at 48 kHz. 3D effects (which enables the DSP processing such as Qsounds, EAX, A3D) cannot be shut off.
I see three possible workarounds:
1. Find a command line switch, or edit the installation batch file to disable Immezio 3D on installation or startup.
2. Edit the registry to disable Immezio 3D effects.
3. Fix the part of the driver which is responsible for disabling Immezio 3D effects so that it does what it is supposed to. When radio button enable/disable is toggled, an executable called RegReboot.exe is called to handle the process. This presumably edits the registry settings and prompts for a reboot. It requires administrator privileges to run. I have attached it to this post along with the installation config file EnMixCPL. Maybe someone with more programming know-how than me can offer figure it out. I am fairly certain the problem is within RegReboot. The functions it is supposed to call to disable 3D effects are invalid under W10.
It's really frustrating as it's just this one little switch standing between me and being able to use my favorite soundcard in Windows 10.
P.S. Everyone I know with these cards (so far, four people) has had the same problem, or variants thereof. No one has managed to get the cards running properly in W10. Onkyo has told me they will not update the drivers for these cards to support Windows 10. So we are on our own.

These audiotrack drivers are purported to work. I cannot verify as I no longer own the Onkyo card.

I try few Driver, and finally I found work one.
Only Envy24_Family_DriverV570A work.
570B 570C is ****.
Use 570A when you disalbe immezio 3D you don't need to reboot, just choose which sample rate you want and it work.
When you close the panel and open again the radio button is still check but your sample rate is still there.
If you want to change sample rate just uncheck immezio 3D and choose again.

So Audiotrak has updated their driver past 5.60C?
Ok, we might be in business. I'll give it a shot later today.
Thanks dude!Posted 15th October 2015 at 01:56 AM by rjm

No good I'm afraid.
It might be written 5.70A but the driver version is 5.12.1.3656, the same as before. I suspect 5.70 A,B,C from Audiotrax are just in-house re-packaging of the last drivers VIA issued, 5.60 A,B,C.
Immezio 3D effects can be switched off on the control panel, and different sampling frequencies selected both on the Envy panel and Windows Sound ... but it seem that Immezio 3D is not actually disabled. The only time I could actually get sound to play was if 48 kHz was selected. 96 and 192 both gave errors, implying that no changes were registered at the driver level.Posted 15th October 2015 at 05:57 AM by rjm
