Audio Problems with KT3-Ultra MB

I have the KT3-Ultra MB and I am trying to set up a four speaker setup using the sound manager utility that came packaged with the board. Regardless to which setup I select from the utility which configures the 3 onboard sound jacks, I cannot get any sound from the second (rear) port. Has anyone else encountered this issue or know how to fix it?

I own 2 sets of speakers. One is a set with 2 satellites and a sub that (The slender black satellites from Altec Lansing I think) and I have another set consisting just of 2 satellites also from Altec Lansing. Both sets terminate in a simple headphone type jack. Either set works when plugged in to the first audio port labelled for front audio, but neither of them works when plugged into the jack configured for rear sound.
To test them I am using the Sound Manager utility that is packaged wit6h the MB that shows a picture of your setup and allows you to click on each speaker and it sends a sound to the speakers individually, allowing you to hear which ones work and whatnot. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the sound and I have downloaded all of the latest drivers from this website...
This thing is starting to get frustrating....

Sound problems with KT3 ultra

Hello All
I have a KT3 Ultra, WinXP Pro, LG CD-RW (HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B ), 512 Mb DDR Ram etc.
My problem is that when i rip cd's to MP3 i lose all sound. This has happened with Easy CD-DA and Exact Audio Copy.
If I go into AC'97 Audio config all speakers seem to work exept the Front Left and Right. But this seems to stop them all from playing any audio.
Reinstalling AC'97 fixes it but it's a bit annoying.
Audio driver : 5.10.0.3840
Audio controller : VIA 3059
AC97 Codec : ALC650
Any help appreciated

I think i solved it by installing the 5.10.0.4050 drivers.

Big problem with KT3 Ultra (ms-6380e v1.0) after flashing the BIOS (de

Hello out there.
I have a real complicated matter with my Kt3 Ultra board.
Used to work fine, but after I flashed it with the latest BIOS (5.7), the board has this strange behaviour: when I clear the CMOS, the board boots up, when I change & save the settings, the board does not "come to life"(black screen & beeper silent).
It has also this weird problem: it shows garbage charaters on the voltage setting of the CPU. Instead of voltages (i.e. 1.750 etc. etc.) I have only "scrambled" strings.
I had MANY difficulties in upgrading the BIOS because the AMI-flashing utility kept telling me "bios protection enabled) (but there was NO bios-protect setting in the previous bios - I checked a zillion times)...but after trying with different revisions finally I made it.
I already tried everything (re-flashed older bios-es etc. etc.)and I'm starting to feel beat ... if you have any advice, please le me know.
It would be really SAD to put this great board in the garbage-dump....
Bye,
Wyk'03

im having problems with this board as well,
i had no problems with the flash,
i did this...
boot to win me floppy,
copy the flash files to ramdrive, flashed to latest bios..
now windows hangs when i have my ac97 audio enabled in bios...
I WANT MY AC97!
hmmm can you get to a dos prompt from a boot disk?
try re-flashing with 1.0 again and then disable the cmos virus protection thingy, and yes it was there it was in the 1.0 bios on the main screen.

Problems with kt3 ultra + radeon 9800pro

hey guys,
heres my story (bare with me)
i bought a radeon 9700 pro around christmas time, recieved it, (almost) everything worked fine on it, etc etc. however in games, it would give me this weird flickering poly thing going on (screenshot included) after seeing this, i stuck an extra fan in my case, thinking it was a heating issue. no worky. after that i just assumed the heatsink/fan wasnt securely on the chip. whatever.
anyway, i returned the vid card, got my money back and just decided to sit on the extra money for another couple of months and let prices drop a bit.
soooo i order myself a radeon 9800 pro this week. i get it today, and im getting the EXACT SAME PROBLEM. so obviously it wasnt a heat issue, it was.. something else.
this is where you come in anyone have ANY ideas why i would be having this problem? im attaching a screenshot i snagged of what the error looks like (if that will help at all)
i have already tried running driver cleaners, blah blah blah. i even reformatted and reinstalled windows on the drive, and im STILL having the same problem. not to mention i get occasional lockups and bluescreens.
ive tried flashing bios, updating mobo drivers nothing fixes it.
is this just some quirky incompatability between the mobo and the vid card or what? (i had a gf3ti200 in here before the 9800pro.. never had any problems)
so can anyone help or am i just going to have to buy a new motherboard?

"DOS'ish" ?
start with flashing the latest mobo bios before you start if you haven't allready. I recommend stick with the 3.7 Cat driver (many people are reporting worse problems with the later rev Cat drivers) and follow these directions:
1) download and install the latest via driver (i know, you have it)
2) download and install latest soundblaster driver (if you are using a soundblaster audio card of course)
3) download and install catalyst 3.7 driver/control panel/samartgart from ati.
4) disable fast-write in bios (this was causing corrupted icons and cursor in windoze).
5) go to c:\programs\ati technology\ati control panel and execute smartgart (it's a link)
6) enable - pci read/write and agp read (probably allready is enabled).
7) disable - agp write (default in my case was on causing lots of stability problems in games).
"apply", reboot, then "ok".
above solved all my probs w/9600 pro and msi kt3 ultra-aru
good luck!

Problem with Kt3 ultra

Ok here is my problem. I reformatted my computer and accidentally f-ed with my bios settings. After clearing the cmos and flashing the bios, i reformatted again and reinstalled windows xp. I was able to update everything (SP1, audio drivers) except the video driver. I can install the video driver, but when i reset to finish the installation, the system goes to the windows load screen and then the monitor just goes blank. When i go into safe mode, there is a message that my video card had problem drawing something. I have tried every possible driver there is, and its is the same result. Anyone got suggestions? I have AMD 1700, kt3 ultra, mx440 nvidia. Thanks

OK i tried it in safe mode, which didnt work. Maybe i'm doing this wrong. Here is my procedure. The last working config was right before the video card is detected. I let windows detect the card and install the driver. Then i go into add remove programs and remove the nvidia drivers, which removes the video card from the device list. I then install the 4 in 1 drivers. Restart. Then install the video driver. The restart again, which always leads me to dark screen after windows load. By the way, tahnks for your help.

Problems with KT3 Ultra (MS-6380E)..please help

Hey all-
Here is my system configuration:
MSI KT3 Ultra MS-6380E) motherboard
AMD Athlon 2100+ XP cpu
(2) 512mb PC2700 DDR ram (1 gig total)
(2) 120gb Western Digital 7200rpm Harddrives (240gb total)
Nvidia Geforce Ti 4600 video card
Creative Labs Sound blaster Audigy Platinum
LG 32x10x40 CDRW
16x DVD ROM
400 watt power supply
Here is my problem:
Just built the machine, checked every plug and everything and when I turn on the machine I got no screen, no post, no beeps, nothing.
So I turned the machine, and cleared the CMOS. Turned the machine back on and got post , went into the BIOS, set the time,date, yada yada, all the drives were detected fine. I went in the Frequency/Voltage Control screen and the "CPU FSB Clock" was set to 100 mhz, "CPU Ratio" was set to Auto as was the "CPU Voltage, DDR Voltage, and AGP Voltage". I saved settings and rebooted but then I didn't get a screen, no post, no beeps.
I tried clearing CMOS again, turned machine on, got back in the BIOS just fine. I tried setting the CPU FSB Clock to 133mhz and left everything else on Auto. Rebooted and once again ..nothing.. no screen.
I don't understand what the problem could be. It seems that I can only get a screen when I clear the CMOS. But even if i use the "Load BIOS Setup Defaults" or even the "Load High Performance Defaults" I still get no screen or anything when I reboot.
Can anyone help me here? I have never run into this before.
Thanks in advance!!
Joe

If it is only doing it when you turn your bus speed of 100 up to 133 for the xp processor then I have had the problem. If you are booting with a bad cpu that isn't working properly (can't run at 133) then the computer will not POST. As soon as you clear the cmos it sets the speed back down to 100 for failsafe. If you try to boot a duron processor like a 700 or something on fsb 133 then the motherboard won't post. Make sure you don't have a duron processor instead of a athlon xp or a bad cpu. I would recommend taking it to the place you bought it or else an autorized amd spot. They should be able to throw in another proc and check it out.

RAM problems with KT3 Ultra 2 causing STOP errors in XP

I've run the NEC ncramtst program on my PC and its coming up with an error in the extended memory at adddress 1B8EE01C which probably explains the stop errors and problems I've been having in XP...
I've tried reseating the RAM and tried a different slot but it still returns the same error.
The PC is only 2 months old and I have only experienced stop errors in the last 2 weeks or so and usually are at random - and occur more often when copying files - or putting load on the PC.. any ideas why the RAM is only now causing errors and what the problem is?
Are the problems definatly being caused by RAM or could it be the motherboard?
Thanks in advance

Ram Problem With KT3 Ultra

Hi Guys,
I have posted on here before.
I have a kt3 ultra mobo.
The problem i have is when playing games the system locks up and i have to hard restart.
I have followed advice from this board the the faq ant mobo bios set up which sadly has not solved the problem.
Very strange but in the pc i have two x 256 meg ddr ram.
If i take either stick out the pc plays games perfectly. This is frustrating as both sticks work fine on their own but not together.
ANY IDEAS ? ;(

Hi,
Sometimes it happens that sticks just won't work together....
You might want to swap one of the sticks with a friend to see if the problem is gone...

Odd video problem with KT3 Ultra 2-r and GeForce4Ti4400

I don't know if I should post this on the VIA forum or on the VGA forum, so I'm gonna post on both. sorry.
My system specs are on my signature, and anyways, here's my problem.
When I turn on my PC, the monitor shows jaggy white lines all over the screen (as if the refresh rate / resolution was too high) instead of showing the GeForce BIOS (right before the POST).
This is weird, since a year ago, when I got my MSI nForce/ MSI GeForce4 Ti4400, this wasn't a problem. And now I have KT3 Ultra 2 and MSI GeForce4 Ti4400 Chapmionship edition, and I do.
Not only that, but most of the times when I restart my PC, my monitor goes into POWER SAVING mode instead of showing the POST and Loading Windows screen.
I even try to go into the BIOS while the monitor is in powersave mode and it does go in, but the monitor is dead.
The monitor comes back to life as soon as it reaches the WindowsXP logon screen. But like I said, it goes into powersave mode as soon as I restart and until it reaches the WinXP logon screen.
I mean, this is a minor problem, but its a pain in the ass!!!!
Whenever I'm trying to tweak the BIOS, it will often times do this, and even if I turn the monitor off, unplug it from the PC, unplug it off the wall, when I plug it back in, it still is in powersaving mode, even though the PC is running.
HELP!

No, my Ti4400 is not the Champ ed. The actual model number on it is 8871 ver-1.00. You can read about my problem's in the "Have you seen this?....." thread on this forum (page 7 now I think)
I haven't had a problem in the last couple days though. I removed some Reg tweaks (this is a DAW box) and ....dont luagh, turned up the heat in my house. I'm not sure if it was the Reg edit or Temp, but things are working ATM.
Nice to know I'm not alone though,

Problem with KT3 Ultra/AMD 2100+ temp

hi,
Im not too familiar with motherboards but i know when there is something seriously wrong. I have a MSI KT3 Ultra motherboard with a AMD XP 2100+ processor. My computer normally ran at a CPU temp of 45C, but today I installed the new version of PC Alert 4. All of a sudden my CPU temp increased 15C. Now its running at 60C, which i think is too high. I havent changed anything else, and nothing has been overclocked. I have a Geforce 4 Ti 4400 and 512mb RAM. Please help.
Thanks in advance

PS: anyone else have any other ideas? dont wanna be ungrateful but i dont think thermal paste stops working within a 2 hour period all of a sudden.
No it wont, but it has probably been running at that temp all along.....Maybe your first PCAlert was just giving false temps........Did you ever check it in the bios before?

[VIA] Problem with kt3 ultra 2 and 2800+ Barton

Please help. I've a 2800+ barton on my motherboard 6380E with bios 5.7 But my processor is recignized as a 2500+.
In the bios, my Fsb is 166 and all the rest is on auto. I've 1,5 GB memory pc2700 333 mhz.
I'm trying to force 12.5/13 in bios but it stay as 11.5 (saw with cpuz). What can i do to have the 2800+ recognized with this motherboard ? Help !!! I've change the FSB to 180, but with cpu-z, the processor is still a 2500+

You could try WCPUID, which can also determine the cpu that you have.
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002374/src/download.html
Failing that as Wonkanoby said check the codes on the cpu itself.
Perhaps as an alternative just try raising the FSB from 166 to 167. Upon boot instead of the bios detecting the cpu, it will give you the clock speed albeit at 167. Since you have the multiplier you can then work out the clock speed at 166, if you see what I mean and determine (or have a better idea) of the cpu that you have.
Good Luck

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.
