5.1 sound on the K8N Neo4 *Solved*

Hi!
I just bought a pair of Cosonic 5.1 Headphones, and tried to install them. Problem was, the amplifier for them wants/demands "front", "rear" and "subwoofer/center"-audio inputs. In the manual for my MB it says: "However, there is an advance audio application provided by Realtek ALC850 to offer support for 7.1-channel audio operation and can turn rear audio connection from 2-channel to 4/5.1/7.1 channel audio.".
Needless to say, I havent been able to find it.
And a quick follow-up clarification, if I connect the headphones to the regular "line out" it wont be 5.1, right?
The outputs I get from the onboard soundcard are:
"Line In (in 7.1CH/6CH)",
"Line Out",
"MIC",
"Rear Speaker Out (in 7.1CH/6CH/4CH)",
"Center/Subwoofer Speaker Out (in 7.1CH/6CH)",
"S/PDIF Out-Optical (in 7.1CH/6CH)"
and a "S/PDIF Out-Coaxial".
Any suggestions/work-arounds?
thanks in advance

Thanks alot guys, guick response!
I found the MSI Sound Utility-thingie, and was able to set it to 6CH, so the Headphones work great now!
The name of the headphones are "5.1 CH Digital Surroundig headhpone" according to the manual , but I belive they go by the name "HTS-810MVI" (http://www.headphone.com.cn/sort1.asp?sort_id=108)  in case you still wanna know.
Once again thanks for the quick help!

  • Vista Sound problems with K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum

    I wonder if anyone have gotten the sound to work under 32-Bit Vista RC1 (build 5600) on the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7100)? Installation of the, by MSI, provided XP driver (Creative_audio_32-64bit.zip) seam to work, and the device looks installed in Device Manager, but still no sound... Also, the icon for volume control in the icon trey detects that there is no sound card installed.
    Anyone with a similar problem? Any solutions? Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks!
    I did try one of these drivers before without success. Now when I tried the old driver from nov 2005 it worked!
    Drivers are found here:

  • X2 3800+ (E6) support for the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI

    Hi everyone:
    I have decided to purchase the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI (MS-7100-020) and I ready placed the order.  However, I wonder if it supports the AMD X2 3800+ (E6 Version) CPU?  The reason I asked the question because I found the following table from the Taiwan MSI web site which shows that X2 3800+ E6 is undertesting.
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=641&kind=1
    Thank you for any replies.

    Mine worked, ran for 2 weeks already at stock, tried & ran to 2.2GHz on stock HSF with no problem.
    Using X2 3800+ E6, MSI K8N PLI Platinum mobo, 3.7 bios & Inno3D 7800GTX single latest nvidia 78 drivers, 2x512MB DDR400 CL2.5 Kingston Ram, Hitachi T7K250 Sata 250GB HDD, NEC ND-3530A Benq 1640, , Silverstone Zeus 650W PSU
    At first I have this concern too, but tried it anyway.

  • Can I put an old 20GB IDE HD into the K8N NEO4 Platinum Board ?

    I was just wondering if you can install a old Maxtor 20Gb IDE hard drive into a brand new system built around the K8N NEO4 Platinum (MS-7125) and used it in conjunction with a brand new Maxtor Diamondmax 10 SATA150 80Gb hard drive, for a total hard drive space of 100Gb ?
    if it possible for new sata and old ide hard drives to co-exists in the same system ?

    Quote from: syar2003 on 23-January-06, 05:00:53
    Yes , you can do that .
    Only advise is to put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable .
    You would want to install th OS on the sata drive , make sure not to have the ide disk connected during install
    or it will host the OS system files and become the system disk (default win installer choice to take the first drive it sees , and
    ide is always prior to satas in bios).
    Then after OS is all setup , shut down and connect the remaining disks .
    So the procedure would be, to install the sata drive first, the optical drives in IDE secondary and when everythings done, the old 20Gb drive in the primary IDE, its that the way of it ?
    what do you mean by "put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable" ?

  • IS the K8N Diamond the same as the K8N Neo4 SLI?

    May sound like a stupid question, but I can't seem to get a definitve answer. Also, should I download the Soundblaster Live drivers from the Creative website or the MSI one?

    Quote from: aicjofs on 25-November-05, 00:25:05
    Stick, you know better then to trust the MSI site. LOL. 
       lol. silly me 
    anyway, seeing that there are 2 different names for the same mobo (K8N NEO4 PLATINUM/SLI & K8N SLI PLATINUM) I think it's also a matter of different geographical areas. best think is to look at the specifications at your retailer and you will be sure on what are you getting. if you will not purchase online and can see the mobo before, it is very easy to look on the SLi Platinum board for the second LAN connector. if it's not there it means that you don't have the Marvell chip nor the Sil3132 chip onboard. (PS - you can also count the SATA ports  )
    with no intension to bash MSI on this one, but it seems very stupid to make 2 boards that where supposed to be the same with different features. at least put a different letter at the end     geeeeezzzzzz 

  • How are some guys running an Athlon 3800+ X2 chip on the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI?

    I see many people running an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ X2 Dual Core proccessor on a K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI board, but mine dosen't work.  I don't get any signal to my monitor (don't know if this is the cause).  MSI says the 3800+X2 dosen't support the SLI board, but many people got it to work.  Any one know how?

    Mine working fine, but on cold boot, sometime it hang on me. I have changed 3 PSU to get it stable, from Coolermaster 450W, Be Quiet 520W to Silverstone 650W, ambient 25C, CPU 30C, Proc 37C.
    Bios 3.7 the one they are still testing.
    Have you check you PSU rails volt., disable CnQ,....
    So far stable, multiple programs at once with no significant drop in responseness & speed,  Half Life 2, P2P downloading x2, IE x 3, encode DVD at the same time.

  • OSS doesn't play more than 1 sound at the same time [SOLVED]

    Hello,
    I use OSS to replace ALSA, it used to work properly here. Today I noticed that I can't play more than one sound at the same time, something which I used to be able to do.
    Also, ossxmix doesn't operate properly (I can't control the volume of a specific program).
    Looks like a permissions issue, because /dev/dsp and /dev/oss are created as root and other users get Permission Denied.
    Any ideas how to fix it? My sound card is an AC'97 onboard.
    Thanks!
    EDIT: Solved by pacman -R oss, rm -rf /usr/lib/oss then pacman -S oss. Seems to have worked.

    Hello Angela,
    Have you tried resetting the iPod yet to see if that makes a difference?  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If that doesn't work, a restore of the iPod via iTunes may be in order.

  • Lan issues with the K8N NEO4 Platinum NF4U 939 Motherboard

    New K8N NEO4 Platinum NF4U 939 Motherboard. 
    After three or four hours the connection started to get unstable.  I am a high end gamer and any net slowdown I see and feel.   
    Using my "Ping Plotter" program i saw the issue.  The first hop to my router was going from 0 to 47ms.  On all of the other conputers on this network hop one stays at 0.
    In looking at the over all ping to my game server I noted that when hop 0 went to 47 it messed up all of the other hops and made the connection to my game server unstable.
    The odd thing is I bypassed the onboard nic's and installed a PCI nic and it did the same thing.
    I got with MSI and they had ne updare the NVIDA drivers.  This lowered the swing to 0-17.  I removed the PCI lan and am now back with the onboard nic.  I have replaced the DSL modem, cable and removed the dlink and the issue is still the same.
    This is my first computer with XP and at this point I do not know if this is an XP issue or a driver issue. 
    In installing a pci nic some of the network control is still done on the motherboard so that does not rule out a motherboard/chipset driver issue.
    I have set up a web site that shows screen shots of the ping plotter.  Please take the time to look at them and tell me what you think.

    Hello !!
    Please give more information about your system specs.
    But i would try the following:
    Download the latest nforce and vga drivers from nvidia ( if you are using nv VGA card ? ). Google for "driver cleaner" and download it.
    Restart system and press F8 to enter safe mode. Now uninstall all nvidia drivers(chipset & VGA), and run Driver Cleaner after it. Select the nvidia tabs and remove them....
    Now reboot, when prompted to install new drivers cancel this process. And start nvidia chipset driver setup, install all drivers but do not install the IDE driver from nvidia, you will be prompted for this.In first attempt you should not install nvidia firewall. Restart and install VGA drivers. Now test again your network connection. I hope it helps....

  • Sound Issues with K8N Neo4 Platinum

    Over the last few days I've not been able to get any sound through the onboard line out socket in my pc. I only built it 2 weeks ago and havent noticed until the other day when I first used speakers. So for about 3 days now I've gone through ALL of the Windows Techinical Support but nothing worked, ive reinstalled the drivers several times, the onboard sound is ENABLED in the BIOS, the volume is on full, the speakers have power and are also on full volume.
    I've read countless posts on here related to my motherboard (see below), and was wondering if anyone thought that it might be to do with powersupply to the board?

    I'm sorry to be such a pain, but that hasnt helped either. I've looked at and changed almost everything, but nothing has worked.
    When I look in the program in my system tray ( NVidia NVMixer ) I can only find one button that has anything to do with digital sound.....but its for microphone input. 
    When I installed these NVidia drivers, I had another icon in the system tray which was a blue square, with a yellow circle in the middle, then around it, it had 2 yellow "(" and ")" around it, to look like sound waves.....but thats gone for some reason, and I can't find a way of turning it back on.
    My speakers are just the Altec Lansing ones that came with the family Dell computer as standard, but I've only got them plugged in whilst I sort out this problem, afterwards, I'm going to be linking my pc to my sound system.

  • Multiplier question on the K8N Neo4 Platinum

    Heyas!
    I've got a problem.. I want to run 250 HTT so I can get some bad ass prestanda out of my ram (crucial pc4000 ballistix), but with my AMD 3500+ 90nm, whose multiplier is set to 11x in stock, that is not possible without everything getting really unstable. ANd from what I know and hear from everyone these CPUs are locked up but not down. therefor it should be possible to lower the multiplier to 10.
    Now to my question.. I cant find where I do this in BIOS! And I think I've looked everywhere and read the manual for this mobo and everything, but I still cant find it. So, does that option even exist? Is there some special thing I have to do? Cause honestly, I think this is a great motherboard (exept maybe for the possible volt you can give the RAM ) but if there is not an option to lower the multiplier I would be really disapointed, especially since I've heard so many good things about the overclockabiliy of this board...
    But I would really apriciate any help about how I lower my multiplier! (And personally I belive I just missed something really stupid hehe).
    Anyway, thanks in advance!

    The CPU is most certainly adjustable DOWN. Unless you have a corrupted bios, the multplier setting is right above the Adjust CPU Voltage setting. I think it's titled Adjust CPU Ratio and is default to Startup.
    The NF4 voltage is, as you said, for the North Bridge chip. I have seen my best results in keeping it set for 1.60 until I have set the FSB over 270, then I have had to set it for 1.70 to get it stable up to 305 FSB. (Please note that I have the 219 max POST problem on two boards, these settiings are being done in the OS with ClockGen).
    One of the weird things about the MSI Neo4 is the implementation of the HTT ratio. Even though it can help in getting the board to POST at higher FSB settings, It doesn't seem to be correct once you check the setting in the OS with a third party monitors such as Sandra, CPUz, or CBId. Also the vcore is incorrect in the bios. It appears, at this time, that the vcore is limited to a little below 1.55v regardless of bios setting. For instance, the newest bios for the SLI version has a max of 1.450 main setting, with a overvolt setting of 9.9%. Now, that would mean that the voltage would be 1.6v. But in reality, it will only give 1.52-1.55 (yes, that much instability and undervolt). I have had two MSI  SLI boards that do this. The older versions of the bios are even worse with the combined settings over 1.7, but still would never see over 1.52-1.55. Definitely a problem. If the board just goes to 1.55, then there shouldn't be a 1.6-1.7 setting. What makes things worse is if you try to force over 1.55 with the bios settings, it gives you an unstable vcore as shown above. Now, if you set the vcore for 1.45 and the lowest overvolt to 3.3%, the vcore, as monitored in the OS, will be fairly stable (less fluctuations), BUT, that only gives you 1.5v, certainly not enough for a decent overclock. Can the vcore issue be fixed in bios? Well, they can release one that has settings only to 1.55. But can they add higher vcore capability in bios? That remains to be seen as it very well may be a hardware limitation.

  • Is it safe to upgrade the K8N Neo4 Platinum Bios?

    Hi all, i have the motherboard in subject, (MS-7125 VER:1) BIOS ver. 1.50, experiencing some USB detection issues.
    MSI say, about new bios 1.9: "Improve compatilbility problem with some USB 2.0 devices". Ok, this bios sound good for me... Someone know if i can flash new bios without problems, or is it a "bad bios"? In that case, i'll wait for a new one 

    _MarcoM_; I agree, my system is running just great with Bios V1.6, I have a USB Scanner, Printer and a wireless Network Adapter and have had no problems at all. The only reason I would even give updating my Bios, would be if there is something there that is proven to be better without any other bugs tagging along.

  • RMA'ed K8N Neo4 Platinum board, no sound on the new board's output

    Hi Folks,
        I just got back the replacement for the K8N Neo4 Platinum boad I sent in a month ago.  The good news -- my mirrored RAID array came back up and my WinXP/SP2 setup looks fine.  The bad news -- my front speaker output doesn't put out any sound.  My Amplified 2.1 speaker set was plugged into my older machine and working fine, and I just swapped the speaker cable into the green output plug on my MB, and no sounds comes out.  Sounds was working on the previous MB which I sent in for RMA, so the software on my HDD's should have been set correctly to generate sounds on the new MB.
        First, any suggestions on how to get the sound outputs working?  Second, any pointers on how to diagnose what's going on?  Should I be seeing "Realtek '97" (or something like that) for the playback and recording devices, for instance?
        Thanks in advance for the help!
    Clark 

    Couple of things come to mind.  Power on the system and head on' over to the bios.  Ensure the audio onboard is actually turned on...or if the board they sent you had it disabled. 
    Check the Device manager for any "!" in yellow next to anything in the audio dept. (windows control panel/system/hardware...yadda yadda....)  If the onboard audio is turned 'on' and windows is seeing it? You'll have a heading for AC '97 listed, and also under sound effects options in the control panel it should be listed.  If it's listed as working 'ok'?  I seem to remember a set of jumpers on the motherboard for audio output.  In the manual it's listing as follows:
    "If you don't want to connect the front audio header, pins 5&6, 9&10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports.  Otherwise the line-out connector on the back panel will not function"  That's out of my manual regarding JAUD1 connector.  And I have the Neo4 K8N board.
    Best of luck!

  • K8N Neo4 and Memory

    Hi.  I'm running 32-bit XP Pro and I need more memory but my K8N Neo4 is fully populated with 4 x PC2700 512Mb dimms.  I'm planning to buy 2 x 1Gb PC2700 dimms and use two of the existing 512Mb dimms.  I've looked at the manual for my m/b and it leaves me confused when it refers to double-this and double-that.  Can someone help me by telling me if the following memory would be suitable for my board:
    http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=pc2700+ddr&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GGLG_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=12882859307161477854&ei=AotAS7HBLqL00gS_1KiSBQ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCUQ8wIwAg#ps-sellers
    With my limited understanding of what should go where, I'm planning on putting the two 1Gb dimms in the green slots and the 512Mb cards in the purple slots.  Does that sound right?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hello!
    What processor and PSU have you got? What is your exact motherboard? http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=searchresult&keywords=K8N+Neo4+
    One-sided memory is where memory chips, the thin black boxes on the memory sticks, are one side. Double-sided where chips are on both sides.
    If you have the K8N Neo4-FX you can use up to 4 GB of memory. Your OS can't see that much. Even it may sound a little uneconomical to you, I would replace all the smaller sticks for 4 x 1GB of memory, in two kitted pairs. Should be DDR, PC2700, Non-ECC, Non-REG, 2,5 volt. It isn't certain Dual Channel will be enabled, but the size will do the difference anyway.
    However the memory in your link isn't optimal for Nvidia chipsets. Corsair is what I would get.

    Here it is: MSI with a brand new official bios 1.2!!!!!!! 
    Long awaited by hundreds of customers with a new winnie and the K8N Neo4 Platinum.....
    OK, i flashed the new bios, i hit the 220x9, i hit the 220x8 and then i wanted to hit my screen fullspeed with my fist cause that damn thing stays blank!!     
    That was the last chance for MSI...the waiting is over....I will get a DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D and all the sorrow is gone!! And my K8N Neo4 (which is definitly NOT hot stuff for the Enthusiast!) will be sold on ebay! Or maybe i will  it with a big hammer!!! ARGHHHH!!!!
    Peace, Hammer1024
    It's just your CPU that is giving you problems. You won't get any higher with a DFI. Trust me...
    This '220HTT POST' problem is just something that some winchester CPU's seem to suffer. This is NOT a Neo4 problem.
    How do I know this?
    I had exactly the same issue with a 3200+ and a Neo4. Couldn't get it to post over HTT220 even tough I could get it stable in windows at much higher speeds using Clockgen.
    Tried a different mainboard -> same thing!
    Tried different 3200+  -> Problem solved!
    Tried the new 3200+ on the Neo4 -> No problems.
    So don't start blaiming your board and talking trash before you try another CPU!
