Since the w10 update I can't open the Sonic Suite so I unistalled it and tried to reinstall with the latest Audio drivers. What happens is as follows:

The setup says it's a two part process that:
a) uninstalls your current audio drivers and restarts
b) installs the new drivers and restarts

After uninstalling, it restarts and then it unistalls again and restarts in an endless loop. I can't install the drivers.

Also, windows automatically installed the realtek audio drivers and the audio and mic work but the mic enhancements settings (to reduce noise and stuff) show me the "Andrea Electronics" logo and a link to the website.

Anybody has any idea what is going on here?
 
Solution
Get the latest realtek drivers from the mobos website and latest ver of Sonic (win10 if available), the disconnect from the internet, uninstall both sonic and realtek, boot into safe mode and load the new realtek and sonic software you got from the mobo website
