845PE Max SPDIF AUDIO out problem

Hi there,
1. I've got 845PE Max MB; C1,7GHz; 256DDR; W98SE.
I haven't got "S" bracket (I can't buy one), but I want to use digital SPDIF out.
I connect CINCH socket to pin #3 of JSP1 [SPDIF out] connector. And I have sound output via it to my amplifier (I can hear proper sound (analog) from movies and windows sounds).
The problem is, that when I open "Sound manager" from system tray & I see "AC97 Audio Config" Window & I check SPEAKER CONFIG tab -> I can't see "ENABLE SPDIF OUTPUT" check box to choose digital output.
Funny thing is, that some time ago I had digital sound (dolby digital) when I played some movie, but now I don't have it on the same movie.
2. Neither I don't have MSI DVD application on CDROM attached to the MB. Can I download it from some place ? Maybe it can help to switch SPDIF on ?
Looking forward for advice,
Regards,
M@rek

Unfortunatley i threw out my pc-speakers when i moved last but i could lend a pair to test. But i dont think it would change since i did put in a SB live sound card and put the same cord in that to the surround system and it worked perfeclty first try...
So my assumption here is that there is no error in the connection to the surround system but rather a error in the onboard ..if its a severd connection or a driver issue im cant tell.. but since i tested all driver as of 2 weeks ago i could possibly find. even went to c-medias homepage and downloaded thier latest drivers.. and no luck..

Powerbook G4 17 audio out probleme

I have a problem when pull out the mini-jack headphone, the audio out port stay lit and I loose the sound from the internal speakers , and the output volume in the sound system preferences get locked, but when I connect the headphones back, everything come back to normal include the sound from the headphones.

there is separate sound board inside, could be sound board problem, loose cables or logic board problem.

Logic 8 and mbox audio out problem

Hi
I have a problem when using my digidesign mbox with logic 8. When I set the core audio to Device: Digidesign HW (Mbox) in prefs in logic I can record with my mic (i see that the audio is going in) but I do not get any sound out, not from the tracks I have reWired from reason, or the mic. Its like the audio out is disabled when I choose the Mbox device. If I choose to use built in microphone or built in line in i can both hear the reWired sound and the internal mic in my imac, but then the external mic using the mbox does not work...
So basically I can record sound with the external mic, but then I dont here anything (not the audio in logic or the mic) or I can record with the internal mic and also here the other sounds (rewired or other tracks in logic).
This is really annoying, since I just want to be able to use my good external mic or guitar through my mbox and I cant...
btw, when using garageband it works wothout any problem to use the mbox, so its not a problem with the drivers or so...
Anyone have had similar problems, or maby someone has a solution. I would be really greatful.
Thanks
Mr Sinclair

Oh
and another thing... It also works in Sountrack pro as well as in garageband... It is only in Logic 8 I can not hear the sound I am playing once I have chosen the Digidesign device for input. It is almost as it automatically choses the digidesign device for output as well, and not the speakers on my computer... (in soundtrack pro there is a choice to chose input and output device, in logic only the input device... could this be the problem?) I could use soundtrack pro, but it does not have the ReWire function I need... and also I like logic better.
Any suggestions?

Audio out problem

Hey guys,
The audio on my Macbook is acting up. It only works when something is plugged into the audio out/headphone port (basically the onboard speakers won't work). When I press the mute key (F3) it just continually shows the audio icon with the bar at the bottom empty. If I look inside the headphone port, theres a red light shining.
Any help?
Cheers
Joe

You have a hardware issue that needs to be addressed. Either take it in for service or call Apple and have them pick it up via FedEx.

K8N Diamond Plus audio out problem

Hi,
I'm having an issue with the audio out on my K8N Diamond Plus. The rear audio out works fine when left jumpered. However when I connect the front panel audio connector to the mother board the volume of the rear audio out drops to an almost in audable level while the front panel audio works as expected.
At first I thought the rear audio had been completely disabled until I tried turning my speakers all the way up.
Is there a software issue here?
FYI I'm trying to use the front pannel audio connection on a Silverstone TJ07 case.

hey - mikein_texas here - i have same board but with a Centurion case -
couple of things i ran into - maybe will spark some ideas
initally i hooked up front panel audio and got nothing
then i read on page 2-19 of manual that 5-6,9-20 have to be jumpered for rear audio to work
but that means no front audio which was a drag - but solved that prob with usb mike and headphones
apparently unless i am reading it wrong and someone please correct me if so, but you can have front audio OR rear audio
BUT not both
again look at page 2-19 in manual and specifically at text in grey box in middle of page

845PE Max double audio

I have a multi OS configuration and i need to work with my semi-professional audio board under WinMe and with the integrated audio board under win2k.
But if my PCI board is installed , win2k doesn't "see" the integrated audio board, and my expensive audio board isn't compatible with Nt/2k/XP.
Bios only choices about integrated audio is:
-Auto
-Disabled
Would it be possible to add an "ENABLED" voice in bios choices instead of been obliged to use auto detection that hides the integrated peripheral to OS?
Please help me.
TIA

I'm sorry, but I'm posting so that I can receive email notifications on this thread, as the subject interests me.
By the way, anyone knows how can I subscribe a specific thread?

845PE Max Problems :(

Hi,
I just installed the new 845PE Max 6580 motherboard.
My system specs are
3.06 ghz Pentium 4
512 MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM
Radeon 9700 pro with latest 3.1 catalyst drivers
SoundBlaster Live 5.1
DirectX 9.0
Windows XP
The problem is that the system randomly hangs without any bsod or any error. I cant hit the reset switch or power it off from the front. Only way to turn off the system is by switching off the button on the power supply at the back.
Any kind directx application (game or benchmark) hangs, be it 8 or 9. I thought it was as a result of directx 9.0 but it hung on 8.0 as well.
Random hangs also occur while playing any audio. Another thing is when i power up after the system after it crashed my logitech cordless mouse stops responding unless i swap the usb slot at the back.
I've updated the bios as well as the usb 2.0 drivers off the website but still no luck.

got the latest intel inf from MSI website. turned off hyperthreading as well in the BIOS.
the power supply came with the case i bought a week back. brand new... http://shop.store.yahoo.com/svcompucycle/silverchenming.html
still getting these random freezes. freezes on me while listening to music on winamp, running IE, watching any movie on windows media player and games based on the unreal and like engines. somehow games like nba, fifa work fine.
also i made sure the radeon power supply not being shared by any device. the PCI slot below the radeon is empty as well.
i bought the motherboard from newegg.com and the worst part is apparently i cant RMA it back!
its driving me nuts. please there's gotta be a way to fix this. i'm sure some people are running the MSI 845PE with the radeon 9700 pro without any problems.
god..its going to drive me nuts if i'm going to shell out $120+ more to buy a new motherboard if it comes down to this.

SB Xtreme Audio Notebook optical out problem with Home TheaterSystem-HELP!

JSB Xtreme Audio Notebook optical out problem with Home TheaterSystem-HELP!, I have this sound card connected?(optical OUT) ?to my home?theater system's digital IN ?through the recommended /8in. optical miniplug-to-optical SPDIF cable. Theater system is set correctly to Digital-In mode. I have no sound!
The cable is a Velocity Toslink-to-Optical Mini Plug digital cable. I don't see any settings in the Creative Console Launcher. The notebook is a Dell XPS M730 (Vista 32).
I have a PS3, DirecTV, and the SB Xtreme Audio Notebook cable on a hub switch that connects to the system's?one Optical IN. The PS3 and DirecTV sound perfect!
The sound card works fine with standard PC speakers. I'm at a loss as?to what to try next. I set this whole system up myself, so I'm pretty good at working out the kinks, except this one!
Karen

OK. I just went to Control Panel - Sound - Playback - Digital Output Device (SB Xtreme Audio Notebook) - Properties - Advanced. I experimented with different sample rates and bit depths. Clicked the test button and lo and behold - sound from the HTS! I've tried iTunes, PowerDVD (configured to digital output) and YouTube - no sound! Am I missing something really obvious?
HA! Just backed out to Playback and selected Digital Output Device (SPDIF) and set as Default. Sound is emunating from HTS! Well, that mystery is solved! Who knew.
Thanks anyway! Any comments or advice will still be appreciated.

HELP !!!! ATI9700 Pro + 845PE Max = problem

Help anyone.. pls tell me what happen !!!!!!!!!!!!!
just got a new 845PE Max m/b + ATI9700 Pro. seem ok when boot up to WinXP. :]
BUT !!! when try to run my directx game the screen went rubbish... try with dxdiag .. same thing happen.. Directx 3D test show distorted screen... Only Direct3D test.. direct draw is ok
however if I try with Nvidia Ti 4400 ... everything is OK
why??? anyone encounter the same problem?? tell me what should I do??.. so sad buying the exp$$$$ ATI9700 pro.. but cannot play game with 845PE Max
?( X(

ok.. I found out the cause to this FAULT
it is the PS.. cos' the PS 3.3V is faulty.. only can o/p 2.8V that's why those graphic card like ATI 9700 Pro that require ext power to the card cannot work.. (hence GeForce 2 and 4 Ti 4400 can work, cos' they dun require ext power)
thank for all...

No SPDIF (digital audio out) on Advanced dock with T60p/Vista

Hello,
Has anyone used the RCA jack on the back of the advanced dock to send digital audio to a home theater system? It's not working for me. Here are some of the particulars of my situation.
Windows Vista SP1 (but I had the same problem under XP; yesterday's upgrade to Vista was in hopes of solving this)
Windows Media Center setup wizard recognizes the presence of the SPDIF output
Windows audio setup recognizes the presence of the SPDIF output and claims it's working (screenshot below)
Coaxial digital audio cable is good (tested this by using a SqueezeBox2 to pass audio through it into the receiver)
Receiver is good and configured properly (tested this by using a SqueezeBox2 to drive the same input over coaxial SPDIF)
Audio driver is SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio 6.10.1.5500, dated 7/24/2007
ThinkPad T60p BIOS is 2.22
No sound comes out no matter what I do
Here are a few screenshots.
http://spblat.googlepages.com/sound0.png
http://spblat.googlepages.com/sound1.png
http://spblat.googlepages.com/sound2.png
http://spblat.googlepages.com/sound3.png
There may be a clue in this last one. When I click "Test" my receiver "flaps" between displaying "Stereo" and "Dolby Digital" about twice per second, as though it's trying but failing to get a lock on the signal. Remember that the cable and receiver are tested good with another digital audio source.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts!

Hey!
I reverted back to the old drivers and got my SPDIF Port working again.
Link to the old version is here:

Make sure you install this before the drivers after you uninstall the old ones:

845PE Max-L problem with pci cards

Got a weird issue with the 845PE Max-L and was wondering if anyone else has come across this. I work in the RMA dept of a nationwide computer wholesaler and recently we've come across atleast 4 of these boards with the same problem. under windows xp it will not detect any pci cards. tried various sticks of ram, video cards, network cards, modems, usb cards, hard drives, pretty much anything we can think of to check for incompatiblities. did the latest bios flash, installed the newest updates in windows xp, but still cant get these boards to detect any pci cards whatsoever. yes we tried different power supplies and yes we tested the pci cards in other systems to make sure none of it was defective, all passed with flying colors. now here's the kicker, under windows 2000 it DID detect the pci cards, however i was unable to successfully load any drivers to any of the devices. We've made a call to our MSI rep to find out if anyone else has run into this or are we just dealing with a bad batch. unfortunatly noone from MSI has contacted us back yet so i decided to try and post here to see if anyone else has come across this odd situation. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Weaksauce;
Two replies two separate motherboards. In reference to the 865 / 875 motherboards not recognizing PCI cards I think your link has something to offer. :biggthumbsup:I'm not going to go back and test it but the reason the PCI cards were not recognized may very well be that the old bios did not properly inspire the intel inf utility to install the correct drivers. The force method you suggest may well overcome that particular problem. I would still suggest that merely doing the BIOS upgrade first is the more elegant approach.
Regarding the usb problem with MS update, the inf chipset article would appear to have little to offer. The 845 MB uses the Intel 845 chipset which is ICH4 by the way. The updated inf utility was installed in as early in the process as possible.

Version 1.1 and audio out via USB problem

When I attempt to use headphones to assist editing, I prefer to use the m-audio USB transit and set my sound preferences for the iMac accordingly, but STP in my case does not work at all. Instead, I hear clicking ( about 1 sec intervals), followed by STP freeze and unless I force quit, my system freezes.
If, on the other hand, I use digital out, or a FW interface or the iMac's speakers, all is well.
I am more than mystified since FC readily works with the USB pathway with video/audio , thus allowing me to use the FW ports on this limited platform.
I have trashed STPs preferences without any result. I also cannot find (or do not know where to look for) STPs specific preferences for audio out. I apologize in advance for failing to find the reference in the manual, if that is where it is and those settings are the issue.
Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

At the risk of seeming to be talking to myself, I can report that I have found a solution to the problem I posted. To be more precise, Apple did,some time ago.
For those who are curious:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1464
Thanks to all who looked in. I hope it is useful for someone else, too.

SPDIF optical audio input problem

having got over the audio stutter problem by upgrading to 10.4.5, i discover that there is a part 2 to the audio faults on the last g4 powerbooks.
i've been trying to record from DAT via the spdif input, but after a random amount of time, the apps stop recording with a processor overload error, or worse, something very similar to the looping audio problem previously thought cured.
If i try and record via line in analogue - there is no problem.
I'm not really streesing the CPU - i've been forced to try and use simple recorders like quicktime and boom recorder , trying to keep it simple and reliable at this stage.
any ideas?
Powerbook G4 17" 1.67 DL 512mb Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Powerbook G4 17" 1.67 DL 512 mb Mac OS X (10.4.5)

But when I plug the output of the Radio Shack controller into the audio input of the iMac, it captures only one end (my end) of the conversation.
Where did you previously connect that output, when it works properly?
Is it coming over only on the left or right channel?
You may be able to control the audio input more precisely using the +Audio Midi Setup+ utility (in the Utilities folder).
