Audio problems on the MEGA 180!

Hi.
sometimes when i play music. suddenly the music starts to lagg. the player plays it like it is supposed to but the music starts to lagg. then i only pause and play the song again and it works.
anyone know what can be wrong?

is there a lot of HDD access going on in the background? my computer at work (Pentium III 500mhz  ) apart from testing printers also plays some MP3s as background music; when i was installing some software off CD the other day, the music started to sound as if it was "dragging" (can't really explain how it sounded) but it was a slow hard drive and there was a lot of disc access going on, as well as the machine only having 128mb RAM.

  • Mega problems with new Mega 180 - Help, please!

    Hello everyone. I recently built a MEGA 180 system for a customer of mine, and have been having NOTHING but problems with it. First off, during the Windows XP PRo install, I'll often receive errors stating that certain files cant be copied, and I'll have to hit enter several times before the file will copy. I've replaced the CD-ROM with an MSI model, and used a different XP CD, and still receive these errors during install pretty often. Secondly, once I get everything installed, I'll get numerous program errors in XP (usually explorer.exe and iexplore.exe, but pretty much every program crashes sometimes). I've used a different HD, different RAM, and I've formatted the HD and reinstalled XP at least 6 times, and am STILL having problems. Im a computer tech, and fairly proficient at building PCs, though this is my first SFF pc I've built. Im really at my wits end here, and am not sure where else to go for ideas on what this can be. I've submitted an online help ticket with MSI, but I wanted to see if you guys had any ideas in the meantime. System specs are as follows:
    MSI Mega 180
    AMD XP 2800+ CPU (I used artic silver, btw)
    512MB Corsair XMS PC3200 RAM (I also used 512MB GEIL PC3200 Golden Dragon)
    80GB Western Digital HD
    MSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive
    average temp under load: 50c
    average temp idle: 36c
    Thanks in advance guys!

    Well, hrmm... :noidea:I know when I built my Mega180 I didn't have those problems at least, so it's hard to pinpoint.  My bets are toward the memory (although you did swap it out, so that's what bugs me with my thought on that).  My next guess would be the MoBo itself (which would be an MSI replace basically as there isn't much leeway for a different board for that case (or getting it out  ).  I am shocked, however, that you have your sys temps so low.  I have an Athlon XP 2700+ (333 FSB, Thunderbird) and my temps go around 60C with the case open and a small room fan blowing through the case...for now).  Do you mind telling me how you got your system so cool?  I've been considering the Koolance Exos watercooling just to bring this system to stable, lower temps [but I've never dealt with watercooling yet  )  Of course, sys temps have always been by biggest problem.
    Sorry if this wasn't a big help, but the randomness of the errors seems to lean towards the memory/mobo...possibly the HDD I suppose.  Does it still receive errors when not dealing with an optical disc (CD or DVD)?  If so, that definitely rules out the optical as the only problem (it may still be a problem, but it wouldn't be the only one at least).

  • About to buy the Mega 180

    Hi Everyone... I am looking to build a SFF/HTPC system for our bedroom. We want to be able to watch movies on it, use it as our Stereo system, Internet, and some Video conferencing stuff (cause in my new position it include travel). Before I go out and purchase everything I would like to run things by you guys and get some comments, feedback, suggestions, etc... Also note the system will only be connected to a TV no monitor (might use one for set up is about it).
    Purposed System:
    Mega 180
    Dual DDR 400 (2x256 - I already have this ram sitting around right now)
    AMD XP2500+ (Does any one know if I can use the Mobile CPU in this yet?)
    Seagate 200GB HDD (Bought it already... CompUSA had a good sale)
    Lite-On 16X DVD Dual Drive, Model SOHW-1633S
    MS Wireless KB & Mouse (Already bought)
    Logitech Z640 5.1 Speakers  
    Logitech QuickCam  
    Windows XP Media Center 2004
    I'm considering add the ATi 9600 AIW as well.
    Any and all constructive comments are welcome. Thanks guys/gals!

    for starters, if you are not using a seperate video card, then i wouldn't have bothered getting DDR400 memory, as it will only run at 333 anyways
    the Mobile XP2500+ SHOULD (in theory) work, but note elsewhere that people have had problems with it
    if you are looking to overclock this system then i seriously wouldn't bother, as the cooling system is poorly designed and temperatures run higher than normal - even at stock speeds
    otherwise everything else should be ok  
    oh, and Windows XP Media Center edition is not available to buy, only if supplied with an official Media Center PC... unless you've got a copy from elsewhere of course  

  • Where can i buy the Mega 180 ??

  • Audio problems on the 1st scene marker page

    My current project has 9 chapter or scene markers, six of which appear on the first Scene Selection page. The audio assigned to the menu on this page will not play even though the settings are identical to those on the main menu page and the second Scene Selection page. This behavior exists in edit mode and in preview mode. The audio plays correctly on the main menu page and the second Scene Selection page. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a bug in iMovie or am I missing some setting somewhere?

    Hi
    Can it be so that You - returned to iMovie or FinalCut , just to adjust/correct anything - then back to iDVD.
    Don't - it releases the iDVD BUG. Neither Up-date or Cancel will work OK - one problem is that now all chapters points to start of chapter one.
    Medicine - only as far as I know of. Delete the iDVD project and start a brand new one.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Various audio problems with the onboard speakers but not the headphones​.

    The little volume wheel is connected to a variable resistor, which is soldered to the motherboard via 7 pins.  when the wheel loosens up, or the pins loosen up, the onboard speakers get flaky or just don't work.  We've been seeing this type of problem for a while now, and just thought that the general public should know.  Either replace the motherboard, or the volume controller, or wiggle and jiggle the wheel when it gives problems.  good luck all, and i hope this little tid-bit helps out.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
    Chipset Driver - Windows 8
    When the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio through headphones.

  • Unfortunatly the Mega 180 has to go :(

    Unfortunatly I have had to get rid of my Mega 180 after only 1 day of ownership.
    The PSU blew and dabs who I bought it off wont send out a new one and no one at MSI uk seems to care :(
    Normally a psu going would not put me off a system I would just get a new one. But with the events that have happend it has show me how awfull the MSI UK support is.
    I also have a lot of worries about this system once it is out of warranty as no one seems to sell any parts and it is nigh on impossible to get a response from MSI.
    I dont want this to appear as one of those "I am leaving" threads as I am truly sad that I have had to get rid of it, it was a great machine when it worked. If MSI actually sold the parts to repair the system and their support was better I would DEFINATLY be keeping it.
    I have opted for the AOpen XC EZ18 cube which is of a similar spec but without the nice screen/radio etc.
    This board provided me with a lot of help while I had my system and I am truley greatful. Thanks all!!!
    I am truely sad to see this system go :(

    Hi
    Firstly the system was running fine, then I noticed that the 3.3v line was going up to 3.9+ then as it was getting hotter it just cut out and blew the fuse in the plug!!
    A new power lead later it did the same thing after a couple of hours.
    I personaly think it was a dodgy PSU and it seemed that as the case got hotter it just died.
    The second time round it killed the PSU well almost, it was strange, the radio function worked but as soon as you tried to boot the pc the fan went round once then stoped and it didnt boot.
    I tried a different PSU and it booted fine its also worth noting the the other psu (just a standard ATX one) did let the radio function normally I thought I would mention this as people have been asking and some have been saying that it needs special connectors etc.
    I am sad that the box has gone back but now I have an Aopen XC Cube EZ18 and it works a treet. The PSU in it is only 220W but it is half the size so there is loads more space inside. and it runs idle at about 45'c even when I push it, it only seems to go up to about 50'c I miss the radio and nice LCD tho :( apparently this new box has some kind of juke box mode where you can boot while pressing a key on the keyboard and enter a mode much like the one on the mega for playing CD's + MP3 Cd's allthough as with the mega the documentation is awfull and I cant seem to work out how to do it.

  • Audio problems with the Radeon HD 5870

    Hello and sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
    I own an early 2009 Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad Core (4.1), with OSX 10.8.5, 12 Gb RAM, 512 Gb SSD and Ati Radeon HD 4870 (512 Mb).
    I found a good offer for an used original Ati Radeon HD 5870 Mac (1 Gb), so i got it and put it into my Mac Pro  (PCI slot 1, both power cables connected and MDP to HDMI cable, as was previously the 4870).
    My monitor is a Philips LED TV-Monitor 221TE  21,6".
    Besides the fact that i had to recalibrate the monitor (the graphic at first was too "sharp"), i lost the audio from integrated speakers of the monitor (the line-out port is selected, as previously was, in system preferences --> audio), it works only with integrated speaker of Mac Pro.
    The monitor is connected with audio cable to the line-out of Mac Pro (i know that my 2009 Mac Pro supply only video signals over Mini DisplayPort).
    If i put back the 4870 with same connections, the audio is back from line-out...
    If i connect an external speaker to the line-out, it works...
    So it's not the line-out to be faulty.
    Just to try and waste time, i repaired permissions, reset PRAM, installed and updated OSX to 10.9.5, but nothing worked...
    Any idea would be appreciated, thank you.

    Thank you all for the answers,
    @voidcom:  yes, i'm pretty sure it's a genuine Apple Card, not only because assured from the seller, but also because it has 2 MiniDisplayPorts (which, in my knowledge, are present in genuine Apple cards only, PC cards usually have standard HDMI ports).
    I'm sure i plugged the audio cable into the right port (the one with the speaker symbol);  in my first installation of the card i left it untouched, but the audio worked with the 4870 and not with 5870.
    If i plug an headphone in the rear or in the front, i can hear sound... it seems that the installation of the 5870 blocked audio output towards my monitor only... that's the strange thing.
    @Grant Bennet-Alder: yes, i fiddled with the controls in System Preferences > Sound,  was the first thing i did, but only internal speaker works.
    The only thing i didn't try, it's the SMC reset, i'll try it ASAP, thank you.
    @DPart:  i found the same information searching the web, only Mac Pro 5.1 or flashed 4.1 to 5.1 can output audio via HDMI, thank you anyway.
    However, that's not my case... i don't want audio output via HDMI (would be nice, but not essential for me), the installation of the 5870 blocked audio output towards my LED monitor only... with the 4870 worked perfectly instead.
    Yes, under PCI section i found the 5870 twice, the first with driver loaded, the second one not.
    I searched information about this "ATY,LangurParent" but i found nothing useful:

    Hi to all.
    I'm a new iMovie user.
    Before i had iMovie 9 on my iMac. i upgrade to the 11 version (9.0.2) from the Apps store. All was going well, but with the 11 version, when i open my project dome with the old version, all the audio files are marked with an yellow triangle and the audio file is not played.

    Thank you.

  • Movie and audio problems on the classic

    I just bought my first Ipod (a 160gb classic). I had a couple movies and a lot of music videos already on my hard drive, all of which I legally own. Some transferred to Itunes and some did not. My first question is how do I get the ones that didn't transfer to do so.
    Secondly, of the ones in i-tunes almost all would not transfer to the ipod. (The message would read "this item was not copied because the audio format/file type is not supported by the Ipod 'administrator's ipod'"). I hit the "Advanced" and "Convert Selection for Ipod" options. Some transferred to my ipod okay while others still will not transfer, even though they were allegedly synced. Why?
    And thirdly, of the ones that did transfer to my ipod, some are fine without any problems. But with others the video works okay but there is no audio. How do I fix that?
    Any help that can be provided would be GREATLY appreciated.

    And thirdly, of the ones that did transfer to my ipod, some are fine without any problems. But with others the video works okay but there is no audio. How do I fix that?
    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (both of which iTunes uses) does not convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Audio problems with the Q10

    After around a year and couple of months i started to have problems with my blackberry device Q10. The problem is that when receiving the calls i cannot hear the caller unless i put them on speaker which is annoying if you are in public.... So i did the factory reset and nothing changes. Basically the phone is just silent when I receive/make a call. I can listen to music well and even use the mic to record audio sounds. Thanks in advance for your help.

    sorry for the late reply, the latest software was applied around a month ago and currently im on the latest release 10.2.2.2977, please let me know if i can do anything to remedy this problem, thanks in advance for your help.

  • Is there a known syncing by audio problem since the last CC update?

    On 2 of my machines (Windows 7 and Windows 8.1) Premiere has stopped syncing audio properly. Having used this feature since it was released with 100% success rate (up until the latest update) and no change to the workflow/equipment, Premiere now seems to not even attempt to sync audio clips, and will toss one of the clips down the timeline, in such a way that the clips aren't even close to each other. Below is an example of how syncing is reacting on both machines.

    I have this exact same problem. I used the sync feature since it was first released and it worked close to 100% of the time. Then when I tried to use it again for my most recent project, it's like it wasn't even trying anymore. I had to basically sync everything manually. Some of the clips, like yours, were completely transported to random places in the sequence. I have no idea what it could be, but I hope this issue is resolved soon. 

  • Strange audio problem in the timeline

    I'm editing footage of a show taken from my local theater.. and for some reason when i play footage in the timeline, instead of just hearing the audio for that clip, i can also hear audio that does NOT belong to that clip! I don't understand how or why, as there is nothing else in the timeline which could do this.
    Anyone know whats going on?
    Thanks

    The other sounds are audio from a completely different part of the show.. idk.. the shoot went fine, and when i play the clips when they are in the project list they sound fine.
    I readded the clip to the timeline.. and its fine now..

  • Did anyone find a solution to the 1 channel of audio problems with the SD1?

    Driving me nuts

    You can add multiple audio tracks by dragging audio onto the clips rather than to the background of the project window.
