D2audio chipset on Media Live Diva

Hi dears,
this is my first post here, I always lurked this forum for solutions to my HTPC problems, but this time it seems nobody had the same problem.
So, last september I built up an MSI Media Live Diva based HTPC; I basically wanted to bypass rubbish audio of Samsung LED TV without asking to the kids/wife to turn the ampli on/off (...they always forget it "on"). The HTPC is still running Windows 7 x64 RC (build 7100).
Everything was working fine till two days ago: when I resumed the PC from standby, I found the Realtek HD audio setup window open, and D2audio peripheral disappeared from control panel. I still do not know if this happened or if somebody touched some control by mistake... but now integrated audio ampli does no longer work and hardware scan cannot detect it. Of course I uninstalled/reinstalled Realtek audio drivers several times, I also tried to manually install D2audio drivers instead of Realtek or ATI ones... but nothing changed!
5.1 amplifier board seems to work (red light on), but D2audio chipset looks like "dead".
Has anybody an idea on how to proceed? Integrated ampli is a must for me and I would recovery such feature!
Thanks!

Yesterday evening I opened the HTPC; everything was fine inside, cables were well placed and no dust, debris or short possibilities inside. So I started disconnecting/removing the peripherals, one by one, from the motherboard. Every time I did disconnect an unit, I tried booting up the system... unsuccessfully...
Motherboard has an integrated green LED that turns on when power is on, but I cannot hear the typical "double beep" coming from the board when it is started.
Being the motherboard completely unresponsive, make me guess it may have crashed... unless there is some sort of test procedure I can try...
BTW: I also tried removing the CPU, without improvements.

Dropped am3 chip into a media live Diva motherboard (ms-7411) Problems?

Orderded an am2+ amd phenom II X4 965 chipset and dropped it into the motherboard socket. Not recognised by the bios but everything else flashed up. Inserted the windows 7 installation disk and am still sitting watching the 'Starting Windows' screen a few hours later. I poked around and on the box for the chipset is a note that it is an am3 socket. Any idea if this will work or have I royally messed things up. How long does Win 7 take to install on a completely new build with 2 x 1tb unformatted drives?

Did you check the CPU support list before you ordered your CPU?
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&maincat_no=134&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1654
The Phenom II X4 965 is either 120W or 140W TDP, depending on which stepping you bought.
Quote
The Media Live DIVA Support the AMD Dual-Core and Quad-Core AM2+ Processors up to AMD Phenom X4 Series Quad-Core Processors.(TDP 95W MAX)
You should replace that CPU immediately for one on the support list, otherwise you will end up frying your mainboard.

MSI Media Live DIVA won't POST

I have an MSI Media Live DIVA I can't get to POST, show any video indication, keyboard indication, or beeps from the motherboard with or without RAM. I have tried it both in the case and sitting on a static bag. I need some suggestions before I contact MSI for a replacement.
Also, the system has never been booted (all new parts) and my other systems in the house aren't AM2 so I haven't been able to test the CPU to make sure it works.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Try with another CPU from the compatibility list{Not Phenom} ==> http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&maincat_no=134&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1654#menu
See if you can post, then update the BIOS to the latest one ==> http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=134&prod_no=1654
1. Update CPU module to 3.13_36 (AGESA code 3.1.9.1)
2. Fix AMD Phenom X4 9600 HD960ZWCJ4BGD CPU compatibility issue.

Media Live Diva's amplifier card output

We've noticed that the PCB of the Media Live Diva's amplifier card (TL4140) doen'st show the correct output.
The outputs in yellow are the correct ones.

Thank you Leon for sharing this information, will be helpfull for many.

Media Live Diva - No audio from on board RCA audio outputs

I am using the Media Live Diva (MS-7411). I am unable to route the audio to the RCA audio outputs built into the system board. I do not see an option to select these outputs in the setup. Any help would be appreciated as the MSI support seems to know very little about this board.
thanks,
George

I have been able to get output from the RCA on my board, make sure you're plugging into the Line-Out ones. I found that I have to play with the settings in windows to get them to work (connecting to a surround sound amp). I cannot remember off the top of my head but theres options in windows for playback devices: HDMI Audio, D2 Audio, Speakers, Headphones. Try each of these in turn, you can right click each one and hit Test and it will play a chirpy little tune in each speaker L+R.
Not that this only outputs stereo and may be quiet on some systems as it is a line level output i.e. it needs to be amplified.
Hope that helps.

Media live diva unreliable Startup problems

I have just built my HTPC with the media live Diva. X2 250 CPU and 2 x2Gb 800hz RAM
Bios flashed to V1.34 to support CPU but both pre and post flash computer does not always get to POST.
I have tried 2 PSU's with same issues.
Fan starts at low speed and HD kicks into life then nothing else happens .
resets or power off/on and after a few attempts fan speeds up to full speed and computer will Beep and go to POST and works fine but not the best for a HTPC as this seems to effect wake from S3 as well.
Checked connections and tried kingston RAM from PC with no difference any ideas or RMA?
Cheers

Thanks, I was hoping It would be something simple and I wouldn't have to send it back as thats another month of no HTPC

Scythe Ninja Mini
Seems you're building a similar system to me, did changing the RAM to slots 1 & 3 work? Also did you have any difficulties fitting the scythe mini onto the mobo, I have bought both the board and the heatsink but not assembled yet. The heatsink is HUGE, I'm hoping it doesn't block the RAM slots. I also have the Antec Fusion Black case.

MSI Media Live DIVA no POST

This might be a late entry post but I have the same problem. It just would not POST!!!. The first mobo was returned to newegg including the CPU (Phenom 9600); both were promptly replaced by newegg. I received both the other day but only got to test them out today but no joy. I replaced the memory three times -high-performance to el cheapo - all from working PCs I got, still no joy. All items are brand new (except for the ballistix memory kit).
Config as follows:
Mobo: MSI Live DIVA
CPU: Phenom 9600 2.3 GHz Quad-Core
Memory: G.Skill PC2-8500 DDR2-1066 (4Gb) F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK /Alternative memory kits tried: Kingston 2 GB KVR667D2/2GR and Crucial Ballistix 2GB BL2KIT12864AA1065
PSU: PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W
I'd hate to return this again. Time and money...

Thanks for the advice Stu. I got another mobo (Asus M3A78-CM) and CPU (Phenom 8650); tried my new CPU on the DIVA but still nothing - no beeps, no POST. Both CPUs worked on the ASUS. Oh well, It was about time to upgrade the other PC, too... RMA'd the DIVA back to MSI and I guess I am back to square one. No HTPC. I'll post again once I get another mobo from MSI.

At a guess, I would say that if the only problem is the chipset cooler, then it shouldn't be a problem to replace it if you wish.
However, MSI UK will not warranty products bought overseas, with the exception of notebooks, so if you did encounter any problems, you'd need to return it to MSI USA.

MSI MEDIA LIVE (ATI HD 3200) - Flickering/unstable in Windows 7 (x64?)

I am having a new virgin install problem (after upgrading the processor) the problem may be x64.
Story: Well, this is a MSI Media Diva motherboard MS-7411 and I had to install Windows 7 x86 (32-bit) in order to be able to update the BIOS to 1.3 to accept the new AMD quad processor (Phenon II X4 905e) that I was contemplating for the build.
Windows 7 x86 showed cleanly and stable with no video flicker. The BIOS update went smoothly, and then I did a clean install of Windows 7 but installed x64 (64 bit) his time instead of x86 (32-bit).
At first the boot screen seemed stable, but on the desktop it flickered constantly (with black lines). I did some updates and installed the ATI driver software and the correct monitor profile and it seems to flicker less, but it still seems like an unstable image at a minute level (that is the screen is not solid, there are little jaggy flickers throughout like radio interference).
When there were black bar flickers swore it flickered in response to some interference from another device - or at least that's what it seems like to me.
Set-Up:
MSI Media Live DIVA MS-7411 motherboard
. North Bridge: AMD® 780M
. South Bridge: AMD® SB700
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200
Phenom II X4 905e Processor
G.Skill F2-640-CL4D-4GBPK PC2-6400 (2 x 2GB DDR2-800) Dual Channel Memory
BIOS AMI 1.34 (most recent) - Optomized Defaults
Intel 40GB SSD is the main HD with the OS (SATA), + 1TB WD Green HDD (for media) (SATA) + LG DVD Multi-drive (SATA)
Monitor Samsung SyncMaster 215TW (same flicker whether I use VGA or Component Out)
ATI Catalyst 10.1 for Windows 7 (x64) Suite installed.
There was a point where it seemed more stable and was giving me a dialogue saying that the Catalyst Control Panel was not for my version video driver (and that may have been with the Windows 7 default driver install.
I would prefer to run x64 for personal reasons and to take advantage of more RAM.
I may try doing a fresh install of Win7 x86 32 bit and see if the problem goes away again
- but I hate having to do this experimentaiton on my SSD.
Any ideas or similar experiences? Thank you in advance.

64bit Windows not some logical step to follow if you don't have 64bit software that you need to run.
64bit CPU's have been around for a long time, yet Microsoft never bothered to do anything with it, with as result it's just starting where Linux/Unix started 20 years ago.
That is why they are stable with it and Windows is not, also they maintain a completely different OS model and they have 99.99% of the source-code of all programs.
And it's still not a priority for Microsoft, as they maintain 32bit versions just the same, but no software in 64bit versions that is worth switching for.
32bit has trouble free drivers and software, no wonder, they had decades to perfect 2000, XP, (Vista)W7...however, 64bit Windows is a wormhole, best left to be untouched until you explicitly need it.
As for running 64bit Windows with 32bit software it's NOT faster, NOT as stable and NOT as compatible.
Looks enough reason for me....

Questions on IDing and upgrading my Media Live PC

I got a Media Live PC a while ago and am just getting around to setting it up for use as my main PC. The basic spec is OK - 5400+ X2 cpu and 4GBs of DDR2-800 (which I might add another 4GBs to as there are two free DIMM slots).
What I would like to do is:
Install Windows 7 64bit Ultra
Replace the DVB-T card and PCI riser with a modern(ish) PCI-e graphics card and riser
Replace the DVD-RW drive with a Blu-ray drive
Add an SSD for the main drive
My questions are:
Will I be able to find all the drivers I need for the Ralink wifi, IVT bluetooth and the VFD display for Win 7?
Is there a recomended PCI-e riser I can use?
What is the best single-slot PCI-e graphics card I can use? Could I use a 5770? I'm not planning on doing any major gaming, and my monitor will be a 1680 x 1050 resolution. Would a double-slot card with better cooler be possible?
Can I fit any standard laptop BR drive?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Bas, that's very reassuring to hear that my Toshiba might not be at fault! Right now though, this MSI is my only PC so I haven't (yet) been able to test it in another PC. Well, if all SSDs are going to be like that, I will indeed stick with a standard hdd. I don't really need the extra speed, I've merely become used to it :D And I recently sold off my Velociraptors too... doh! (got a good price for 'em though!)
I can't flip the fan on my cpu heatsink because it is an Alpine GT64 and looks like one of those low-vibration ones like you get on an AC Freezer Pro... I guess I'll need to replace the whole heatsink as well as the fan? The case does get hot if I run the PC for a long time but right now I don't use my PC much - just web access, really, at the moment. I do plan to use it for ripping and playing media and will eventually replace the TV card with a graphics card... Whilst I'm replacing the HSF, are there any better CPUs I could look out for, ideally with lower TDP than the 5400+ I have in now? I've been running Intel i7s for ages and am really out of date on AMD chipsets and cpus... The motherboard is an MS-7329 V1.2. Google doesn't say much, but could I put in a low-TDP quadcore Phenom?
Are there any better PSUs available that I could upgrade to? My goal is just to bump the spec of this machine bit by bit as funds become available. The Toshiba SSD was the first 'bump' (well, apart from installing Windows 7) as I already had it to hand.
