Audio problem? with K7N2G-ILSR board

I have recently built the following machine :
Motherboard : MSI K7N2G-ILSR
Processor : AMD 2200
Memory : Kingston 2 x 512MB
Hard Drive : WD 80GB
OS : Windows 2000 SP 3
The problem is if the on-board audio is enabled, the system either blue screens with a STOP error where it can't find the audio system file ( which exists ) or if it does boot into Windows, explorer.exe will crash. I have to go into Task Manager to start explorer.exe in order to see my desktop.
If I disable the on-board audio, no problem what so ever, but of course this is not a solution I want to live with.
I have tried to troubleshoot this myself : taken out a stick of memory, switched memory, updated the drivers to the latest, etc.
Also another thing to note, when I finally don't blue screen, the Windows 2000 System event log will have 10-15 of the following error messages, "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0".
I have told all of this to the MSI Support and they think it is either memory or a bad board not the drivers. I have also burned in my system and no problems were discovered.
Any help?
Thanks,
Wayne

Yes, I have tried with SP2. Currently I am using SP3, though. I am also using Bios 1.3
Here are my IRQ assignments.
IRQ Number   Device
1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
3   Communications Port (COM2)
4   Communications Port (COM1)
5   NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management
6   Standard floppy disk controller
8   System CMOS/real time clock
9   Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
12   PS/2 Compatible Mouse
13   Numeric data processor
14   Primary IDE Channel
15   Secondary IDE Channel
16   NVIDIA GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU
20   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
20   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
20   Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
20   NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) MCP Audio Processing Unit
(Dolby(R) Digital)
20   NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio Codec Interface
20   OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
I have disabled the Raid in the device manager, otherwise that came up IRQ 11.
I guess I spoke too early about not crashing, this morning it took about 6 reboots in order to finally get to a login this morning. I would get a STOP error about not finding the audio driver.

Great problems with K7N2G-ILSR onboard raid controller

I have really great problems with my s-ata raid controller. First of all i had a 40GB HDD attached to IDE3. Worked really fine.
Later on my system crashed and my raid controller seemed to be dead. (no "no array is defined" no "press crtl-f to enter setup,...).
Then I attached a s-ata drive to the first s-ata interface. Suddenly the raid controller said: "no array is defined, press ctrl-f to enter setup". I entered setup an built an array an restarted my computer. Again: "No array is defined, press crtl-f to enter setup."
Now my raid controller seems to be dead again cause it doesnt say a word again.
Please help me if you can. (Besides i tried to solve the problem with updating my bios. I tried all versions from v1.0 to v1.3 but there was no result.)

I have already tried two different types of Ram. 512 MB DDR 333 (I don't know the timing exactly but it's a CL2.5 Ram) and another one from a different manufacturer. Also DDR 333 CL 2.5. Then I combined both. But the raid controller didn't show any reaction and I can't imagine that the problem is the power supply because everything else works fine. Anyway... I will try to get a new K7NG2-ILSR on guarantee, sell my whole computer and buy the new K7N2-Delta because I have only problems with the K7N2G-ILSR.

Raid problems with K7N2G ILSR

I have the following setup and problem:
K7N2G ILSR
NEC DVD-+RW 1300A
Seagate SATA 120gb HD
350W PSU with "210" 3.3 + 5.0
BIOS V 1.4
2 x Hynix 256mb DDR 333
I was able to setup the SATA drive as a single RAID drive and install XP pro.
Now, 9/10 times, the system will not boot. I receive a
"No drive attached to fasttrak controller"
message.
When the system DOES boot, it works great, and I can leave in on for days with NO problems.
I know the Hynix memory is not "approved", but since the system is stable (when it does boot), and assume its not a memory problem.
The problem still occurs even after:
I changes the SATA cable (data and power)
I changed the DVD cable and slot (1-3)
I even disconneced the DVD and / or Floppy.
No change
Help!!!!!

Minor problem with K7N2G-ILSR

Everything works fine except one little thing.
I've activated the nView thing, so TV is monitor number 2.
The TV (monitor number 2) normally shows copy of monitor number 1.
But I've also activated the thing so that video comes in fullscreen on the TV (second monitor).
I think its called overlay or something like that.
But if I have 32 bits colors when starting a video (remember that everything is fine until now),
my monitor starts to flicker! Not my TV, thats just fine, but my MONITOR!
But if I use 16 bits colors before starting video, I have no problems!
Anyone knows anything about this?
Sounds to me like a driver problem, but wanna check.
Mailed tech. support, but they never answered me...

What do you mean with 'software issue'?
Do you mean drivers?
Maybe you missunderstood me...
The whole screen starts to flicker, not only the window with the video.
And secondly, I use normal Windows Media Player.
But its the same with all players, I've tried!
Can you anyway explain a little more what you mean with 'software issue'?

Problems with K7N2G-ILSR

I got the K72NG-ILSR and 2 sticks of 512mb pc2700 Kingston valueram and it crashing whenever i try to have the fsb set to 133 or 166 but works when i have it set to 100 through the jumpers on the mboard. Is this caused by the memory or the mboard itself.

I can not believe they rate that psu at 400w........I would get a better one......The psu is the heart of the whole system.....so do not skimp.

RAM/RAID Problems With K7N2G-ILSR

I recently got this mobo, and have found some little things that dont seem to work:
I have 2 Crucial 512mb PC-2700 sticks that dont want to work. I can use one in either dual/single channels fine, but anytime I add another stick, the blue screen of death likes to appear.
I have as well two 120gb Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 hdd that do not seem to detect on my RAID array (only 1 detects for some reason).
According to what I read, the RAM and RAID should work fine... just curious whether not my mobo is faulty or not, thanks.

Audio problems with CHS 435

Hello all, I'm having audio problems with my FiOS set top box. When I start to change channels I lose audio and can't get it back unless I turn the TV off/on or I change the HDMI source on my TV . Seems after changing a couple of channels the problem happens. I've tried the in home agent auto correct, and different HDMI cables. I have a Westinghouse TV and I'll try a firmware update for the TV and see if that fixes it. Any fix for this and the possibility that it might be the set top box ? I just got FiOS and all is going well besides this issue. Seems that the other STB that are model # 335 aren't having this problem.

Some TVs have had issues with the HDMI handshake and the Audio. You may be required to use the separate bulkier HD Component cables with separate audio cables. Or try it as a solution on that TV.
I have CHS 435 DVR on a Samsung, and 2 CHS 335s on different model Vizio TVs, all with HDMI, and no issues. Others have reported different issues. I did a search here with the following results. Perhaps this information will help.

Firewire audio problems with OS X 10.5.6

Hello,
I’m experiencing audio problems with Firewire 400 on my Macbook running Mac OSX 10.5.6.
I’ve got a 2.4Ghz IntelCore 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM and 59 GB available on the internal HD.
It’s hooked up to a brand new Mackie D.4 mixer with 2 Firewire outputs. The problems occur on both Firewire outputs.
I’ve installed automatically from the software update (which I will never do again) to 10.5.6. I never tried the D.4 with 10.5.5 so I can’t tell if the problems occur there also.
The main problem is that after a couple of minutes of recording the sound starts to break up and get really distorted. After a while the sound comes back again.
The second problem is that Soundtrack Pro or Audacity don’t get any audio input from the D.4, although audio input is clearly visible in System Preferences – Sound.
The only sound program that works with all 14 Firewire channels is Ableton, but also in Ableton the distortion occurs.
An example of the distortion can be checked here:
http://media.kaalslag.com/firewire-distortion-problem-mackieD4+Macbook.mp3
I’ve roamed several forums and sites to solve the problem and I tried these solutions:
I updated again to 10.5.6. with the full combo download from the Apple site. Restarted. Problem still there.
I shut Airport off, because lots of sites mentioned problems with Airport conflicting with audio/firewire. Didn’t work.
I did the work around with shutting the Macbook off, disconnecting the D.4, restarting the Macbook, opening Audio/Midi Setup, connecting the D.4 again, toggling the format frequencies a couple of times. Again, no use.
Right now I’m using my “old” Macbook again to record from vinyl. This one is still running on OSX 10.4.11. No problems so far.
I’ve had the distortion problems occuring before with an USB interface. Hoped that the Mackie Firewire would solve the problem, but it seems now that there’s a serious audio Firewire problem which is still not solved in OSX 10.5.
Any help, tips and/or a work around would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You could try using another computer in Target Disk mode (as an "external HD"), or you can connect the firewire cable and disconnect all other network cables (turning off airport). Then on each computer go to the "Network" system preferences and select "Built-in Firewire" from the list of ports and choose "Manually" from the drop-down menu next to "Configure". Enter the following IP addresses and subnet masks, apply the changes.
_Computer 1_
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
_Computer 2_
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
After those ip addresses are entered and you've clicked "Apply", ensure that for both computers you have file sharing enabled (done in the "Sharing" system preferences), and then check the Finder sidebar to see if the computers can see each other (their names should appear under "Shared" in the sidebar--if not, try restarting).
If the computers dont appear (even after restarting), using the "Connect To" option that's available in the Finder's "Go" menu. In there, to connect to another computer enter it's IP address as follows:
afp://IP_ADDRESS
If you're on the computer with the ip address of 192.168.1.1, you would enter 192.168.1.2 as "IP_ADDRESS". The "afp" is the protocol (just like "http" for web), and stands for "Apple Filing Protocol"...Apple's file sharing protocol.

USB audio problems with 2013 iMac

I'm having a strange audio problem with USB microphones and headsets. The issue with my Logitech H650e is shown in this screencast I recorded. In the first part of the screencast, I am not speaking into the mic—yet you can see the levels fluctuating as if there is static playing (not in a natural pattern that you'd see when someone is speaking). In the next part of the video I demonstrate that selecting the built-in iMac mic for input, and then re-selecting the Logitech headset temporarily solves the problem. You can see the input start to fluctuate normally as it should when I am speaking. But at 0:31 in the screencast, you can see the input levels freeze and stop registering anything. I continued to speak until the end of the screencast, but no input was detected. For this screencast, I was on a Go To Webinar call, but the problem occurs regardless of whether I'm using Skype, Go To Webinar, GarageBand or any other software.
The problem with my Blue Yeti USB microphone is also different. In that case, the input does not freeze as it does with the Logitech headset. The levels appear as you would expect, and it seems to work. However, the person on the other end can hear static in the background, even though I don't hear it in my own headphones. I learned this because I just tried to do a Skype interview with the Blue Yeti, and the interviewer told me they could hear static. We closed Skype and called each other back twice, but the problem persisted. Then, suspecting the problem was related to what I described above with the Logitech, I unplugged the Yeti and then plugged it into my Macbook Air 2013 (also running Mavericks). Lo and behold the static completely disappeared.
My Griffin iMic and Audio Technica lavalier mic (attached to the iMic) behaves similarly to the Yeti, except in this case I can hear the static when I speak with my monitoring headphones. The input works but I get a lot of cracking and static in the background. This was confirmed by calling the Skype Test Call number and recording a message, which is then played back.
Here are the facts:
All 3 of my USB audio microphones/headsets do not work with my 2013 iMac running Mavericks
All 3 of these microphones/headsets worked fine with my 2008 Mac Pro running Mountain Lion
All 3 of these microphones/headsets work fine with my 2013 Macbook Air running Mavericks
In this other thread, several people are reporting similar issues with the iMac 2013 and Mavericks. At least two people did not have the issue when the iMac 2013 was running Mountain Lion. This of course suggests the issue is the combination of the iMac 2013 and Mavericks.

Audio problems with Droid/X

When sending voice messages using Cloudtalk, the recipient hears only garbage. I contacted Cloudtalk technical support, and it appears that the 3gp file sent by the phone is not recognized. This problem is known by them, and happens only on Droid/X.
Anyone else is experiencing audio problems with the droid/x?

That doesn't sound like an audio issue with the X, it sounds like a compatibility issue between the X and the service.

Audio Problems with some HD channels (HBO mostly)

I'm experiencing sporadic audio problems with a handful of HD channels. Most noticably on HBO.
When the audio is output through the television itself, it sounds OK... however if the audio is output through my home theater receiver and speakers, I can hear a lot of static and "crackling" on certain movies and shows.
The issue isn't the home theater setup, as I have several other components that use it (AppleTV, Bluray, Xbox, etc.) and the audio sounds perfect from them.
The only device that displays that poor audio is the FiOS Set Top Box and even then it's only on a few channels.
I thought maybe that the optical audio cable between the set top box and the receiver may have been bad, so I replaced that. Same problem even with the new cable.
The problem is either with the Set Top Box itself or the audio levels on the stream from the channel provider.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this, and if so... did you resolve it somehow?
Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

...on-board NIC issues with K7N2G-ILSR

After reading several posts on this issue, it sounds as if a ton of people are having problems with their K7N2G-ILSR on-board NIC. My problem is pretty strange... When i'm on the internet (WinXP Pro, cable modem/Linksys BEFSX41 firewall router), my NIC works fairly well.. maybe 90% of time. I can also 'connect' to other machines on my LAN just fine. However, if i attempt to transfer data between my K7N2G-ILSR and another PC, the LAN conenction icon flashes back and forth between 'connected' and 'disconnected.' I also have this problem when i try to download anything... It's driving me friggin crazy!!
I haven't tried the MAC address solution (copying the NIC MAC address into the BIOS). Before i give that a shot, does anyone have any updated news regarding this issue?
Thanks for the help... Mike

I like to contribute a little. I bought a mother board K7N2G-ILSR upgraded my PC. First, I booted up with Windows 98SE most of hardware is working include on-board network port which connected with RoadRunner cable modem except not USB 2.0. I have decided to upgrade to Windows XP SP1. My first try of upgrading to Windows XP looks okay for most hardware, then I found out that network is not working. After several investigation, I see no MAC address show on network driver property. I reinstall (restore from backup) Windows 98SE then network is worked fine. I memo the MAC address. Again, upgraded to Windows XP SP1, enter the MAC address into NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Controler's property "NetWork Address". After rebooted the Windows XP the on-board network port is working perfect. This must be glich in nForce2 driver.

Problems with detecting SATA hdd's with K7N2G-ILSR mainboard

The K7N2G-ILSR has built in Promise PDC20376 Raid Controller, and I have bought a Promise 4-Channels SATA II Controller PCI card.
The problem is if I mount disks to my new SATA PCI controller my mainboard SATA controller hangs...
Is there a way to use booth SATA controllers at the same time ore disable the built in SATA controller?
Got one SATA2 DVD-writer and 3 SATA disks.
regards

There is no option to disable the built-in SATA controller in bios.
Have tried moving the PCI-card to another slot, but don't help.
How my PC boots:
1. nVidia Graphic card bootscreen
2. Normal bootscreen (Memory check, IDE check, ...)
3. Promise 4-Channels SATA II Controller PCI card (finds harddisks if connected.)
4. built in Promise PDC20376 Raid Controller (My computer freeze if harddisks are connected to the above SATA2 controller, but keeps booting if they are connected to this controller istead.)
5. WinXP MCE (if my PC don't freeze on step 4.)
Found some info about modding/adjust the bioses on this page, http://www.dstyles.de/bios/
Mabe there is a solution there, to add more options to the bios or enable disabled options.

Confused with K7N2G-ILSR DLED reading

I just put together a new system using the K7N2G-ILSR and t isnt booting. I am using the baord with an Antec 300W power supply, AthlonXP 2700+ and 512 MB of crucial DDR PC2100. witht he processor in it goes through the first DLED which is the top two LEDs red and the bottom two green and then changes to the top left LED green and the other three LEDs not lighting up at all. After taking the processor out it would hang at the first LED cycle which is top two red and bottom two green and in the bok it means that the processor is not installed proerly or damaged. The next pattern it would cycle to is top left green and the rest red which is early chipset initialization. Since it is hanging with just the top left light green and the others not lighting at all does that mean there is a problem with the chipset or a problem with the processor?
