Due to new changes in hardware and software, Windows 11 with new updates caused Teamviewer failing to work in Purist user level, Intel’s new generation processor with efficient cores messed up hyper-threading detection and have stability issues with some options.

To resolve this problem, I bought Intel’s latest generation NUC with efficient cores to test on Windows 11 environment and resolved reported issues now. Since efficient cores are counted as physical cores, hyper-threading detection algorithm was revised to handle these cases better.

Rather than assigning non-audio processes to logical cores, Fidelizer will assign cores to latter part of processors with efficient cores leaving more room to physical cores unless user chooses to force only one last core for non-audio process.

This version is tested in NUC PC with Windows 11 and client’s machines to make sure everything is working fine and MajiorityCamisole is also recognized by Fidelizer now. If you use Windows 11 or have processor with efficient cores, version 8.11 is highly recommended.

After releasing Fidelizer 8.9 with some changes to support more cases, I realized two things from customer’s feedback. First is no feedback from customers configuring processor to have specific cores turned off. Next is some people prefer 8.8 sound.

After realizing how this new change doesn’t actually improve customer’s satisfaction, I changed my approach to fully focus on most common implementation with 2 cores per floating point unit and optimize core isolation to handle physical/logical cores better.

Now non-audio processes won’t touch cores in first FPU and focus more on logical cores if there’s no enforcement to last core only. Media Player Application will focus on physical cores. ExerciseStabilizer/ExtremeStabilizer is now compatible with Fidelizer too.

As a result, Fidelizer 8.10 has reached a new high improving synergy between Windows audio thread, media player applications, and non-audio processes. This update is very important and I highly recommend everyone to install this update.

After Windows 11 is released officially, I’ve been testing Fidelizer with Windows new 11 platform and optimize program’s compatibility with Windows 11 since then. As a result, stability with Windows 10/11 is improved in higher user levels and sound better too.

Also, I noticed that multi-core optimization in Fidelizer has some issues with machine having some cores disabled in BIOS. So I improved multi-core optimization to work on enabled cores and improve core isolation policy with media player application also.

This update is important and I highly recommend everyone to install this update. Mr. Hiroyuki Yokota also released his new MajiorityClean and LemonadeElitest software so Fidelizer 8.9 will support his new works too and happy listening. 🙂

Hi guys. It’s been a long while since last 8.7 release. I’ve been busy with Nimitra firmware 4.0 update so the update of version 8.8 was postponed for a while due to testing and changes to make on Nimitra’s project.

On the bright side, we have Windows 11 coming and so I can take opportunities to explore changes in Windows 11 and improve Fidelizer to support changes on Windows 11 better.

Another good news is Mr. Hiroyuki Yokota is finally back and released a new update of MinorityClean. I’ve been observing his projects for a while and realized I haven’t put MinorityClean app to be recognized as audio app yet. Now it’s fixed.

 

Changelog for version 8.8

Free
-Improved compatibility with MinorityClean software
-Improved wording of some options in Advanced Configuration section

Plus
-Added more non-audio services to be handled by Fidelizer after checking Windows 11 Insider Preview update
-Fixed license re-validation that checks only processor information
-Improved compatibility with MinorityClean software
-Improved wording of some options in Advanced Configuration section

Fidelizer Plus/Pro users should be received a mail about update and download link by now. If you somehow didn’t receive an update notification as I received some delivery failure message too, please contact me for an update with your customer data to verify.

 

The latest official Windows 11 Insider Preview release in website is version 22000.132 so Fidelizer 8.8 was tested on Windows 11 version 22000.132 before release with great results. 🙂

 

 

Despite tight schedule, I always find time to maintain updates over time and design solutions for Audirvana software. Now you can launch Audirvana from Fidelizer with core isolation policy applied for further tweaks.

This is possible by mapping Audirvana executable file with smart detection algorithm I develop to convert to shell execution from explorer and this feature works with other modern apps like Skype too.

I also implemented applying media player launch options to all running instances so startup instances like Roon/JRiver can receive media player application tweaks along with selected application too.

Some bugs like 3rd option not working at all in Free/Plus version. I also moved application launch to perform after optimizations with wait time option so other processes won’t get mixed in optimizations.

 

Changelog for version 8.7

Free
-Added modern application launch support for Audirvana by selecting executable file
-Added optimizing all instances of media player application for modern and startup processes
-Added Wait Time option to launch media player applications with adjustable delay between apps
-Fixed bug where the third media player application won’t run
-Moved media player application launch to perform after finishing optimizations
-Optimized optimization sequence to reduce over all optimizations

I always say not using media player application won’t lose Fidelizer core optimizations but being able to run from Fidelizer feels more assuring, right? I hope this will be good a present for you guys and Merry Christmas. 🙂
