SS3svc32.exe popping up on startup?

Anonymous

Hi all! So, for the past few days when I start my laptop the file SS3svc32.exe keeps popping up and trying to make changes. It pops up twice (I click no both times) and then stays away until next startup. I looked at the file location and it's with a program 'Sonic Suite 3' which I don't remember downloading and when I went to Apps in Windows Settings neither are listed. Is there a way for me to remove it? Thanks!

PS. I have Windows 10

Wow, 8 pages of this.

Did anyone ever think to go to the manufacturer of the motherboard and see if they have an updated audio driver? Maybe one that fixes the problem instead of trying to find some wacky work around?

I ask because I found this after deciding I had enough of that damned popup:

Now, I am no computer guru or anything, but I figured that someone, somewhere might have an actual fix for this problem since Microsoft doesn't fix problems with other people's software causing conflicts with theirs. That's a long known truth about them. So instead of trying to change registry values or downloading another program that "fixes" problems just do the simple thing folks.

I found the answer for my motherboard right on their page here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B450-F-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/

That is *ONLY* for the Motherboard *I* have. So don't go downloading the same one unless you have the same motherboard. I hope this helps at least someone out there.

Have a good day!

Hey!

I had the same issue and what i did is that i oppened "Task Manager", ---> "Startup" and there was Sonic Suite 3. I just disabled it and after that i tried to reboot ny laptop. Luckily no message popped up :)

Idk if thats the right way to do it but it seems like it worked.

Please reply and say if that was right or wrong :)

Same issue here, how has this been a problem for so long with no clear resolution. Hoping an official solution comes out soon.

ISSUE SOLVED

For a minimal installation all you have to do is download this recent package from ASUS*, and just extract the SonicSuite sub-folder.

Then run the 3 setups inside in this order: Studio 3, Radar 3, FineTuning Tool 2. No need to uninstall first previous versions.

... and finally everything will work fine again as expected, with SS3 running on startup in background and no more nagging UAC requester opening Sonic Studio 3 and Sonic Radar 3!

Gaming laptop ASUS GL703GS, with Windows 10 1909, still HDA no UAD drivers here.

AUDIO package:

Version 6.0.1.8746

2019/12/03 686.47 MBytes

Realtek Audio Driver

Updated User Account Control verification mechanism to match the revised requirements of the kb4524147 hotfix

that's great solution mate, thank a lot. But I only reinstall Sonic Studio 3 and it works, is it strange ? And by the way does it conflict with previous when I reinstall ?

I use Z270f Strix Gaming

No. Of course Radar or FineTuning tools are not "required" if you don't use them...
