890FXA-GD70 Internal Speaker

I built a computer using this MoBo to run some stock/futures trading software. One of the programs uses the small internal speaker that's connected to the motherboard to emit a single beep when prices change. I DO hear this small speaker "beep" during the initial start up (bios load) so I'm confident it's working, but I cannot seem to get any sound (beep) from the speaker from within the program I just described. I'm running Windows 7 Pro (64) and Windows device manager says, "the device is working properly." I do have a "proper" sound system and that is working fine. I've learned that some programs (like skype) allow the user to use this internal speaker to "ring in" so if/when the user is using (the proper) sound system (say with head phones) the "ring in" is still audible. I have no other programs that utilize this internal speaker and was wondering if others had any similar issues ... and if so what procedures anyone took to resolve those issues.

This is an email I received from the Trading Software Company in response to my query. I took the liberty to XXXX out the company name as a professional courtesy (I don't think it matters).
Hi,
I am sorry you did not get the appropriate answer sooner. I have trained my staff on this matter in the past, but perhaps they forget the details of the answer.
The Beep feature in XXXX Windows was based on a Windows API call to a sound function where we could pass the frequency parameter and a duration parameter.
This would play the sound through the little speaker. Starting with Windows platforms around Windows XP and later, ie Windows 7, the API function was removedand no longer available. The article you sent in your other email documents that change in the Window operating systems quite well.
(This is the Article I sent)
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/larryosterman/archive/2010/01/04/what-s-up-with-the-beep-driver-in-windows-7.aspx
Thus the functionality going away is a result of the operating system and not a result of any change in XXXX Windows. I have looked hard in the past for a work around and not found one.
Thus, I am sorry to say, the Beep feature will not be available in the newer operating systems. Yes there is a Windows Beep, but not the sound API call where we could play a frequency for a duration. Since this is due to operating system changes, we are choosing to eliminate offering the Beep check box on the chart property forms in the redesigned XXXX program called XXXX. This will keep users from having the hint of a feature that is most likely unavailable because most users will be on newer operating systems as time passes.

What could cause "2A" code on 890FXA-GD70 mainboard?

My MSI 890FXA-GD70 now stalls at the point where it displays the code "2A." Can someone describe the possible cause(s) of the mainboard stalling at "2A"?
I even contacted MSI and received a refurbished mainboard, which I installed this weekend but it presents the same error.
I observe that all other lights and all fans appear to be working just fine, but I never see any video at any point (no MSI splash screen, no BIOS, etc.) during the brief boot process before it reaches the "2A" display.
I have tried two different PCI-Express video cards and neither one changed the mainboard's behavior of stalling at "2A."
My computer worked flawlessly for nearly three years before experiencing this problem.
Here are my PC's components:
* Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - OEM
* SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

* XFX HD-567X-ZNF3 Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
I also tried swapping out the XFX video card listed above with the following, purchased new:
* SAPPHIRE 100358L Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card
In addition, I tried installing both video cards in different PCI-E slots on the mainboard, in case one of the PCI-E slots has gone bad. (I even tried booting without any video card, and did get a different code, but I can't remember what it was.)
I tried all of the troubleshooting steps described in prior threads related to the "2A" code, such as:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145187.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151534.0
That includes swapping out RAM sticks, including one at a time.
And I also dutifully followed all of the suggestions offered by an MSI technician by telephone.
I even plugged in different keyboards (PS/2 and USB), different mice, etc. (Grasping for anything that might present a different mainboard code at this point!) But nothing makes a difference.
Any other ideas?
Should I just request of MSI a new RMA# to get yet another refurbished mainboard? (The MSI tech I spoke to previously about this "2A" code seemed convinced it was a defective mainboard when he authorized the first RMA.)
Or should I just keep buying new video cards until I install one that works? (I only have one desktop PC with PCI-E slots, my other active desktop PC uses AGP. So I can't verify that the video card works in a different PC; I can only trust that buying a new, highly-rated video card didn't result in the bad luck of getting one that was DOA ... but I suppose theoretically that's possible, however unlikely.)
Thanks!

I'm still unable to get past this code "2A" stall. Can anyone help?
Among the troubleshooting steps I've tried since my February 24 post, none of which made any difference/improvement in the stalling at "2A":
Unplugged all SATA drives and power connections to those drives (2 hard drives and 1 CD/DVD drive) and tried to reboot. Result = stuck on "2A"
Unplugged all external peripherals (e.g., mouse, keyboard, ethernet, etc.) and tried to reboot. Result - stuck on "2A"
Unplugged all external peripherals and all SATA drives and tried to reboot. Result - stuck on "2A"
Unplugged all front panel connections - except the connection to enable the power button needed to reboot the system - and tried to reboot. Result - stuck on "2A"
Disconnected all power supply connections, except the CD/DVD drive (to put a small load on the power supply), and tested out the power supply with a volt meter (multimeter). Result = 100% of the molex, 24-pin, and other power supply wires are delivering the expected volts.
Are there any MSI representatives available who can provide more detailed information about what the "2A" code indicates?
I found the following information about code "2A," but I'm not sure whether it's applicable for my specific MSI mainboard, on a PDF provided by American Megatrends (BIOS company) titled "AMIBIOS8 Check Point and Beep Code List" from 1988:
Quote
Initialize different buses and perform the following functions: Reset, Detect, and Disable (function 0); Static Device Initialization (function 1); Boot Output Device Initialization (function 2). Function 0 disables all device nodes, PCI devices, and PnP ISA cards. It also assigns PCI bus numbers. Function 1 initializes all static devices that include manual configured onboard peripherals, memory and I/O decode windows in PCI-PCI bridges, and noncompliant PCI devices. Static resources are also reserved. Function 2 searches for and initializes any PnP, PCI, or AGP video devices.
Thanks!

System is dead on arrival.
Motherboard LED shows FF immediately after powering on.
No video at all. Tried 3 different video cards that work in their original computers.
I hear no disk activity from the hard disk.
I've tried:
- Resetting the CMOS
- Different sticks (of same type) of RAM
- Different SATA ports
- Different video cards
This purchase was for a business and it's rather urgent. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
Thank you

1. Reseat the CPU and check for bent pins.
2. Put 1 memory stick in slot 3 or 4
3. JPWR2 must be connected with either 4 or 8 pin, doesn't matter as long as it's connected.
4. Reset the Cmos by removing all power and set jumper Jbat1 into 2-3 position for a minute, then put back to 1-2 position.
(5. If you have a different supported CPU try that one.)
If that doesn't help, RMA the board, as then it could be a broken board or CPU.
The board will never start without ram, why people try that is beyond me

MSI 890FXA-GD70 starting problem

Hello
I just got a new MSI 890FXA-GD70 and after all is plugged in and when i start the computer all the fans start but the bios doest show up. The strange thing is that most of the leds turn on (CPU Phase leds all light up and stay on, the DDR phase lights up and stay on) BUT, and this is the strangest part, the diagnostics display on the board doest even turn on. There is also no sound noises of any kind and I'm 99% sure i plug the speaker right.
I even started the board having no RAM and no HD to see if "anything" happened but always the same. Leds light up and stay on but nothing else. I'm using a CORSAIR AX1200 1200W for power. The CPU is an AMD Sempron 140.
This is also a good time to tell this is the first time i try to build a computer so any rookie mistakes i could have made, like something i forgot to plug, or any jumpers you can point and laugh
Any ideas??
Thank you

have you tried to boot with barabone setup and mainboard out of PC case?
there could be a shorting issue.
I have not! But it's going to be the first thing i will do as soon i get home. Like i said on top, i just find it odd the fact the leds light up and the diagnostics display doest turn on. If it's a shorting issue any chance i could have fried the board? Or that's is just some safety "thing"?

I saw some postings with the 2e code but can't seem to find anything specific on it.
Please help!

Go with just 1 stick of RAM for now.
Next, disconnect both hard drives. Can you enter BIOS?
Not sure if it makes a difference, but try both DVI ports
In meantime, ask around if you can borrow a video card. Svet knows BIOSes, if he says it's VGA error...
Any old PCI-E will do the job - like Radeon 1300/2400/3400 nVidia 7300gt/8400/9400 ...
You have a lot of stuff in the manual.
Make sure your systems is not OC'd (page 2-21)
Also look at LED indicators (page 2-26) maybe you'll notice something suspicious.
You also have a green power switch (page 2-20) and dedicated LED on the MoBo, so try both options.

890FXA-GD70 debug code d1

When I turn on the computer it gets stuck at debug d1. I've tried clearing CMOS, checked for bent/broken pins on CPU, and I've tested it outside the case so far I've got nothing. This is what I have:

Case - Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower

I am experiencing the same situation.
Yesterday I installed upgraded my computer installing:
MSI 890FXA-GD70 Mainboard
AMD X6 1090T Phenom II Processor
8 GB (4x2GB) Patriot Sector 5 PC3-10666 1333MHz Ram
2 Radeon HD 4870 crossfired.
After assembling everything I installed windows 7 rebooting multiple time everything ran well well into last night.
When I was going to bed I powered of my machine.
In the morning having some buyers remorse and deciding that I might have over purchased before booting up I removed one of the Radeon hd 4870 cards and 4 GB (2x2GB) of the ram and returned them to the store.
Upon returning to the store I attempted to boot my machine and alas it will not start giving me a debug code of d1 after it quickly flashes FF.
I am beside myself.

890FXA-GD70 BIOS Recovery Requested.

Hello Forum
I just put together a brand new system using the 890FXA-GD70 Motherboard and I have serious problems.
Occasionally the system will freeze and crash.
I will tell my story in order of how this began and all steps I have performed
While in the bios I attempted to change my boot order. As soon as I changed the device the bios froze. I started the computer back up
No screen input.
Reset button does nothing. System does nothing.
After about 10 reboots with bios resetting and such I eventually got a message
“BIOS Recovery Requested” insert USB…
I tried to reboot a few times
Sometimes I would get the bios recovery requested message
Most times I would get nothing
Eventually I inserted a CF card with a bios image on it
Exact bios image on the MSI site without changing the file name
The system would scroll the BIOS recovery message over and over until it rebooted
Said it disabled recovery just before it shut down
The machine now boots fine up till I need to start windows and it does not
So I restart and go through the whole problem over again and this time I restore the bios using the built in flash utility in the BIOS I believe its MFLASH
After the flash and a bios settings reset, windows boots but the whole problem starts over again after trying to do something intensive.
So I re do everything as this is becoming normal procedure dealing with the system freezing in windows or in the bios (randomly in the bios nothing specifically triggers it)
(everything as in reboot the system till I get the recovery message put the flash card in and wait till it disables recovery go into bios and re-flash it)
My last step was I flashed a fresh bios with MFLASH
and then did a memory test with microsofts ram test software outside of windows. That froze about 7% in and caused the system to beep non stop.
And I’m back to start. System does not boot, get the bios recovery message if I’m lucky.
No over-clocking is setup and I use optimal (Auto) settings.
All problems occurs with either ram stick either paired or alone
Here is my equipment
Motherboard : MSI 890FXA-GD70
CPU : AMD|PH II X6 1100T 3.3G AM3 With OEM Heatsink and fan
PSU : CORSAIR|CMPSU-650TX 650W
RAM : 2Gx2|GSKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GB
HD : WD Black SATA 2 1TB 7200RPM 32MB cache
Video Card : GeForce 7950 512 mb with PCI-E power conencted
OS : Windows 7 Pro 64 (legit fresh install)
Other Details
USB keyboard Merc Stealth , Microsoft USB Intili Mouse , Internal 5 Port USB cardreader,
Liteon USB cdrom drive
Monitor is a 52 inch LCD TV using DVI input on a 25 foot cord on max video card resolution when permited 1080
Im guessing this is not a ram or cpu problem but the bios chip may be defective and when the system loses the bios it freezes
otherwise why would i get bios checksum errors and recovery prompts after each freeze.
Please advise this is brand new and i should not have something defective this soon.

After spending 12-14 hours on the problem i can now safely give a detailed report of the problem
Disregard what i said before as they were just symptoms of another problem
It boots 100% stable if DIMM slots 1 2 and 3 are empty
it does not matter the make or model of the ram in slot 4 but the system boots and works flawlessly.
I ran extensive tests with prime 95 and memory tests. It works flawlessly in this configuration.
As soon as a stick of ram goes into any other slot either singular or dual channel the board does a rapid boot cycle
this constant power on and off if left too long corrupts the bios settings
bios setting problem is rectified by putting one stick of ram into dimm 4 and letting it reset itself in a stable enviorment
also while the system is stable i used the MSI software to check all the voltages and everything appeared normal
However
if i make the system boot with standard memory configuration such as one in DIMM 1 or 1+2 i get odd voltage readings
(extremely unstable if im lucky enough to get it to boot)
the NB voltage quickly fluctuates between 1.15 and 1.7+ every min or so like if there are micro spikes in voltage
While this happens the 2 lights next to the slots indicating i believe the dram power phase blink
But
When i only put a ram stick into DIMM 4 only one light for the powerphase is lit and it is stable
So this so far is not a corrupt BIOS chip to me but rather a symptom of another problem
I have another CPU coming in the mail tommorow I will test it out along with a few other boards
a 1090T
2 890fxa-gd70's and some others
If i have a hardware problem it will surely be singled out
I will find out what the problem is with this board and post my result.
If anyone has any suggestions to make this board work please comment

IPhone 4S won't play music from internal speaker

My iPhone 4S is having an issue with the internal speaker. Originally, I was able to play music from iTunes, Pandora, videos, etc. w/out having headphones or an external speaker system connected to the audio input. Now, the phone isn't playing back sound from the internal speaker, unless I have headphones/speaker connected. Keyboard clicks and text message alerts are also not coming through, even though that option is turned on. The Ring/Silent button is on, the volume is on high, and I've also restarted the phone a few times. The only way I've got the internal speaker to play w/out having an external speaker system connected to the audio input is if I test different ringers; then it will playback, but not for any other audio format (videos, songs, keyboard clicks, etc.)
Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'm out of ideas...Thank you!!

iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum.

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

No music,video or app sound from internal speaker.

Ok so here's the deal... My itouch doesn't play any songs through the internal speaker but does through the headphones... Only thing is, it will make that swoosh sounds when connecting to a computer... I have done the 5 r's, went through all my settings such as sound check off blah blah blah... i sent it to apple and they didn't do anything for me because it was 'misused' which may be so but it should still play music right? Its not terribly beat up.. Another thing, does anywhere in the 30 pin connection engage the speaker i.e. when removed from the dock the speaker turns on? if you may be wondering its a 2nd gen... thanks for any input

My 3G's speaker stopped working sometime in the last week or so. After trying all of the support suggestions I call Apple Care, tried maybe 1 or 2 other things. At the direction of Apple Care I did a factory restore, still no sound.
Took it in to my local Apple store and they gave me a new one. So far so good with the new phone.

IPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in "Pause" mode. No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker. I have 418 songs stored and none will play.

iPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in “Pause” mode. No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker. I have 418 songs stored and none will play. I have tried resetting, turning on and off the iPod, etc. but to no avail.

Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My internal speaker no longer shows as an output option; has anyone experienced this?

My internal speaker no longer shows as an output option; has anyone encountered this before?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
    Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.

890FXA-GD70 Will Not Wake From S3 Sleep

890FXA-GD70 will not wake from S3 sleep; the power comes back on and the fans run but the video never returns and the system hard locks with a POST code of 22 or 24. Other than this issue the system is rock solid.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor
Sapphire 5870 Graphics
Crucial M4 SSD
Corsair DDR3
No overclock
I have reproduced the issue on two 890FXA-GD70s motherboards and I am convinced that this is not a result of a failed motherboard. I also was able to move my fully installed SSD hard drive, processor, memory and graphics card to an Asus 890FX board and successfully wake from S3 sleep proving that my OS and driver installation are working correctly.
I know how to properly set the BIOS as I have installed many 890GXM-G65 motherboards for S3 sleep without issue. The problem seems unique to the 890FXA-GD70.
Is there a fix for this?

I have identified the cause. The "Extra RAID/IDE Controller" must be "Enabled" to use S3; otherwise the system will hang on the wake event. This is true even if the "Extra RAID/IDE Controller" goes unused. The "Extra RAID/IDE Controller" must be set to "Enabled" for S3 sleep to wake.
This would seem to me to be a bug since none of the other MSI boards I have used require the optional IDE controller to be enabled in order for S3 to function properly.

I have a G5 power PC dual 2ghz 10.5.8 and my recording interface stopped outputting. I used 2 different interfaces and changed cables, neither solved my problem. With everything plugged up i can hear playback through the internal speaker.

I have tried System preferences, input and output. I have tried the midi controls in utilities. With everything hooked up correctly I cannot get the interface to playback through the box or record now. When i hit play I can hear the playback coming through the internal speaker on the tower. The interface previously worked fine, bought a second one and it is doing the same thing. Must be a system issue. Please help!

10.6.8 - No audio out (but internal speaker fine) - MBP5,5

After upgrading to 10.6.8, plugging in my earphones or headphones does squat. My internal speaker still works fine though
I've tried the AppleHDA rollback (to 10.6.7 version) to no avail - each time either audio disables totally or I get the "Incorrectly installed extension" error
The most interesting thing is my problem seems subtlely different from the 'popular' audio problems. Most bizarrely, audio out works until I log in (works on the login screen). It dies and I receive asserts on the console after logging in though (I'm not on the machine and I can't remember the exact assert message but something about failure during GOTO in some audio handler)
I haven't tried making another user account (to see if it's account specific) but I have tried deleting all manner of user-specific audio plists as well as doing SMC reset, permissions repair etc.
Any ideas? + Anyone have the same problem? (I'm presuming this is specific to this MBP + config)

one thing i have just tested i can copy files from my mac desktop to my macbook fine mmm!
