Anyone got "GOOD" sound out of GNB-Max 6565?

Hello,
I'm getting a very lousy sound out of my 6565.  I tried all options such as with or without the S connector, 2, 4, and 6 channels, all possible inputs, different hardaware acceleration levels, etc.
The sound output is bad, and the microphone doesn't detect anything.  I've noticed that many people were having the same problem.  Does this mean that this MB requires a special speaker system?  Can't I use two speakers like old times and get stereo sound out of them without any software/hardware tweaks?
Thanks for any help?

Two legacy speakers

I have the same board but I didn't even try onboard sound.  My experience with onboard sound on other boards has made me just start with a good pci sound card (sound blaster audigy).  Every onboard sound I have tried either sounded bad or worse.  If the board had a creative chip on it you may get medium quality.  Don't waste money on new speakers to use with the onboard sound, spend the money on a soundcard.  Of coarse if money is not an issue you could buy both.

  • My final thoughs on the GNB-MAX 6565

    tech support sucks, no replies to my questions regarding the fsb reported wrong, plus the high voltage nearly frying my cpu.
    plus why is the latest bios v2.1 when my motherboard is v2.2 or is this just how long msi take to update the website, like the live update thing how up to date is that i mean whats the point of having it if its months out of date, i might aswell search myself for updated drivers.
    the bluetooth bracket is the biggest misleading so called "feature" of the board, it don't give you bluetooth full stop you still have to buy a damn bluetooth dongle or card at extra cost to have bluetooth capability that plugs into any usb slot you don't have to have a special bracket, i won't be actually taking any action but in my opinion that claim is very misleading and i think msi could be sued for false advertising.
    oh btw my mobo is working 100% now i love it apart from.
    1. msi support sucks.
    2. misleading bluetooth capability.
    3. very slow and totally useless msi update program.
    4. high powered fans blow the fan headers on the board.
    5. flakey bios problems.
    lets hope msi's support staff read the forum (maybe they) and try to sort out there problems with there products that we pay good money for

    Hardware has gotten to a point that there is typically less than 1% difference between competing manufacturers per a particular chipset. That being the case, consumers are looking for "value added" aspects to make their decisions. With MSI, there is little in the way to that. Support for this board is abysmal. Fussy Logic, PCAlert 4, and even Promise drivers are buggy at best. The so called bluetooth option is in reality nothing without purchasing the dongle. Yes, it's mentioned somewhere in the fine print. But in larger print, it is obvious that MSI intended for the buyer to believe that he was getting an operational bluetooth option. In addition, you can't simply gloss over the fact that the board, with the CORRECT settings in bios, VOIDS INTELS WARRANTY. In case you haven't checked lately, P4 3.06s sell for over $600. That's one hell of a mistake, especially since MSI doesn't seem to be rushing to correct it. With all of the downloads, patches, research, tweaking, etc..etc..etc... , I figure I got paid about $2 per hour to build this thing.

    Hi
    I tried all slots and one ram at a time, but still get beep sound. So I just ordered crucial memory 2x 512MB DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 6ns • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64. I hope their high quility and reliable RAMs will solve this problem.
    My VGA card is eVGA GF4 Ti4200 8X 128MB DDR.
    I will post the result of crucial's ram.
    Thank you for your help.

  • 3.06 vcore and gnb max 6565

    Optimal vcore for this cpu? 1.525 or 1.55?
    First time I saw the bios the setting was 1.525 but the fail safe settings and the optimal settings recommend the 1.55 core.

    look at the box that came with your processor it will be writen there most of the 3.06 have multi vid so 1.55 or 1.525 doesnt matter as long as u dont reach 1.7v

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.  Has any of this been tried?
    It is possible that dropping the device has caused the issue.... regardless, it's unlikely Apple would do a warranty exchange since there is obvious user damage.
    If basic troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, take it to an Apple store for evaluation... if determined to be a hardware issue and you ask nicely, they may be able to assist you, but they may also only provide the option of an Out of Warranty replacement.

    Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery.  But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
    ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?

    iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

    In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

    I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about?

  • I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my car from my new iPod Classic. Has anyone encountered this problem?

    I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my cars from my new iPod classic. The song name artist display on the console in the car but no audio. This is happening on 2 cars - Nissan Rogue and Acura TL. My older iPod classic played fine in these cars. Has anyone encountered this issue?  

    I have a similar problem with a 160 gb Classic, about 5 years old - if I move the plug one channel may be heard and tehn the other. The interface works but not the sound. Different ipods eg nano work perfectly.
    The two cars I have are an Audi and a BMW and both have manufacturer connectors

    Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

    Solution below.
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Can anyone recomend a good sound/speaker system for an iMac 24" computer.

    Hello, Can anyone recomend a good sound/speaker system for an Imac 24"? And can an external speaker system be hooked up to this type of Imac? Thank you.

    Unless it is for reasons of poor eyesight, it isn't necessary to write in all caps.
    Depends how much you want to spend. This one is inexpensive and produces decent sound. But it won't necessarily be room filling (that is, depending on the size of your room.) You just hook it up to the headphone jack.

  • How I got sound out of my Audigy 2 in Bet

    We all know how there's no drivers out yet for Vista Beta 2...so people are suggesting all kinds of things to try to get our SB cards to work... I have Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 installed and I have an Audigy 2 ZS card...and no matter what Audigy drivers I tried...no love. I decided to do a clean install of Vista this time and try something out...AND IT WORKS! Maybe you guys can try this out too and see if it works for you.
    Here's the steps I took:
    . I downloaded the latest Vista 32-bit drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS from Creative's site...the one that's November '05 and named SBAX_PCDVTBETA_US_2_08_0002.exe
    2. I downloaded the latest Realtek AC'97 Vista Beta drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?series=8&Software=True
    3. Install the Sound Blaster driver, you'll have to reboot...once you reboot it should try to install the drivers but will fail...atleast with me, I kept getting a time out error saying its failed.
    4. Now I don't have onboard soundon my Dell..just the SB card so I figured let me try Realtek drivers anyway... Install the Realtek driver, reboot, you should be prompted to install your soundcard driver.. I selected to let it show me the available drivers list and my Audigy was in the list...hit install and it installed the Audigy drivers for me! What the Realtek drivers have to do with anything, I don't know...but it worked for me so I'm happy
    The only thing is that after testing all the speaker set ups up to 5.....5. didn't 00% work...my rear speakers and sub wouldn't produce a sound while testing while the rest of the speakers did...and then they would get distored...so I have to keep it in STEREO mode int he configuration. Doesn't matter to me since I just put my Logitech Z5500 speakers in "stereo X2" mode so sound comes out all the speakers...and the sub still will pound.
    Hopefully this works for you guys who are having problems getting sound out in Beta 2...lemme know how it works!Message Edited by vice86 on 06-30-2006 07:53 PM

    . The beta driver is flakey, use the XP driver
    2. there is no consistant way to install the driver, upon various OS reinstalls (I have installed at least a dozen times at this point, I am testing a variety of stuff under the covers) I have gotten things to work as easy as slick install upon OS install completion... to haveing to fight tooth and nail in safe mode (on the same machine)
    3. The Vista release was not a surprise, the number of major hardware vendors that have their ducks in a row with drivers is greater then those that do not. However, this is beta people, if you expect a finished product use XP... wait XP is a mismash of patchs and updates just like every other MS OS.
    4. if you want perfection and things to work right out of the box, get a MAC

  • [Solved] No sound out of M Audio 2496

    I have an onboard Intel card and the MAudio card and I just use ALSA.
    aplay -l
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
    Subdevices: 1/1

    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    The Intel card works fine.
    The MAudio card, however, does not output any sound at all. The snd_ice1712 module is loaded and when I send a sound file to the device, like so:
    aplay -D plughw:1,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
    I can see the levels in envy24control moving, so I know the card is receiving the signal, but nothing comes out of the speakers.
    What I have tried:
    Disabling the onboard card in the BIOS
    Editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf to make the 2496 load in the first slot
    Unmuted all the channels, devices etc in alsamixer and envy24control
    My ~/.asoundrc is from the ALSA wiki for this card
    Took the card to a neighbours and plugged it into a Windows box and (eventually) got sound out of it..
    Read the threads on these boards and searched the web for non-Pulse fixes
    I am at a loss. I know the card works, but I can't seem to get a peep out of it.
    Is there something obvious that I am missing?

  • Has anyone got elisa running?

    has anyone got elisa running?
    i've installed now elisa for the 3-4 time in ~one year and it's still not running. at least i get now the shiny start menu, but when i choose video, music, etc entry and then a directory it simply does nothing and gives out tons of debug errors/messages. and yes, i ugraded to the latest plugins package. don't trust shiny things...
    vlad
    ps: ??? the youtube plugin seems to work ... no it doesn't: i get this strange error "Message: don't know how to handle video/x-h264". though i have _all_ gstreamer-{ugly,dirty,good,evil}-plugins installed.
    elisa is made for the ubuntu people. should it then just simply work? hmm

  • Has anyone got HK iSub v1. to work with Intel iMac?

    System preferences does not see the device at all. Have tried different ports with and without USB hubs both through a Series 1.0 and Series 2.0 with no luck. Any suggestions? Or is it time to retire the thing? Pity though it sounds great and still looks good!
    Any advice appreciated.
    -RG

    I had the same problem and got it straightened out at the local Genius Bar! Did you transfer your folders from a previous Mac on your Intel iMac? The prefs transferred over too and may be corrupt.
    1) Create a new user and give it admin privledges
    2) Under "Library", drag and drop the Audio (which may not be necessary) and Preference folders onto desktop.
    Log out and restart.
    Log back in as yourself and let it fly! By dragging the Prefs folder onto desktop, at restart your iMac rebuilds the Prefs and overwrites previous corrupted Prefs.
    Now I need to figure out why my Sony CyberShot isn't recognized on my USBs! Maddening!

  • Headphones only provide sound out of one ear phone

    Hi, I've got a 17" flat panel iMac running 10.4.2. I recently purchased a pair of good (Grado SR80) headphones for general use. When I plug them in to the Mac's headphone port, I get sound out of one ear phone only. Nothing out of the other. The supplied Apple speakers work fine, however, with sound from both speakers. Any idea how I can get the phones to play normally? I'm really disappointed. The headphone port couldn't possibly be monoaural could it? Or so underpowered it won't power a pair of phones?
    robert

    I only have one pair! The speakers work perfectly on my small JVC mini stereo set (which only has 10W of power). The speakers are plugged into the little speaker port on the iMac (I think the Apple iMac speaker jack is non-standard). The headphones were plugged into the headphone jack. I checked the Audio control panel. The settings are fine.
