GT70 0ND-444US Creative THX TruStudio no output spotted

I have GT70 0ND-444US which it has Dynaudio Feature. I noticed Creative THX TruStudio program is running all the time, but when I opened the program, the program shows a message that says no output(or input) spotted. I am not sure that this program only works with THX Headphones, but does THX TruStudio works in built-in speaker? If does, can you explain me how to enable this THX feature on my laptop?
Thanks!

Omnibook2100, I did fix the problem. After installing realtek sound driver, I opened the thx eq program which was opened in my background and was able to configure Soundboost and etc. i hope this helped out for you.
Apparently, I had to re-install the Realtek HD Audio driver for the THX EQ driver to work. I still cannot get THX AP Driver to install though. I mean double-clicking on the install file takes you nowhere. Strange. In Device Manager I have this [?] under the "Other Devices" section. In case I cannot get it to install I hope it's not anything vital, as things are running quite smoothly for now. Any insights would be great and thanks for the help!
Appreciate it.

Has anyone successfully installed a gtx680m into a GT70 0ND 444US?

I posted earlier about some problems my pc was having, I think it's the video card so I'm looking to replace it with a gtx680m. All of the searching I've done has only brought me to posts with people having problems using the gtx680m in the GT70 0ND 444US, mostly due to nvidia bsod's. So.. Has anyone gotten a gtx680m to work in a GT70 0ND 444US?
thanks,
Justin

darkhawk has a 680M in his MSI GT70 0NE, it's similar to your laptop:

MSI GT70 0ND-444US CPU and GPU upgrade

So I have had the GT70 0ND-444US for almost 2 years now, It's an amazing laptop - the only issue is, the GPU is getting outdated and slow for today's games and I was wondering what are my options for upgrading to a new GPU like the GTX 770M? or the GTX 970M? Would cooling be a problem? Also what are my options of upgrading the i7-3630QM to something better?

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-official-msi-gt60-70-970m-980m-upgrade-thread.765058/
Get the 970m.
I would upgrade to either a 3740qm or 3840qm. They have a few unlocked turbo bins and you'll get phenomenal performance from those chips.
You can upgrade an extreme mobile CPU (3920xm or 3940xm) but they are more expensive usually and also run hotter than the previous mentioned quads.

MSI GT70 0ND-444US Battery Issue

I have the GT70 0ND-444US, I want to use it for school more than my Alienware 13, the thing is, the Alienware 13 runs on a external battery because it lasts 4 Hours on the internal battery, I want to do the same, I have a 32,000MAH External Battery, I set it to 20V and plugged it into the MSI and it refused to charge the MSI or at least have it to "Plugged In, Not charging" The External battery's 20V indicator just started flashing and I had to turn the battery off and on and it still did the same thing, as for the Alienware it doesnt charge from the external battery but it runs off the external battery just fine. Is there any bigger battery I can possibly put in my MSI to make it last 6 hours or something? Or any tweaks for the external battery to work on the GT70?

Do you have any picture of your external battery?
I didn't know there's any external batter for laptops such as GT70 this heavy machine.
I remember GT70 uses 19.5V, 9.2A of DC.
So if your external battery can't provide enough power, it won't charge.
The safest way is to buy another GT70 battery...

GT70 0ND-444US OC bios

I am looking for the Bios to be unlock so I can check out OC settings for my laptop.
I have a Windows 8 64bit -- GT70 0ND-444US -- Bios E1762IMS.70X Firmware 1762EMS1.505
Can someone point me to the right direction

As with all cpu's and motherboards they do not all overclock well or stable. If it was available to over clock I could use the intel clocking tool that allows me to adjust settings and run stable process. Also there are some other tools I got to test. Voltage and MHz would be needed and well as able to add or subtract the memory to the over clock too.

[ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ] [ ERROR: SPECIFIED ATTACHMENT MISSING ] Hi
I sent a picture of the advance tab on my bios and also sent a screen shot of my device manager. i did update bios with the latest one MSI had on the web site.but unfortunately i don't have any of those option you mentioned.but i had the same issue with the original card which was GTX675M. optimus wasn't working with the original either. but like i mentioned before the program called lucid virtual mvp ( http://lucidlogix.com/support/download/ )did force it to turn on.. may be my motherboard is faulty ?
Thank you so much for your help
oh hold on for sec yours is gt70 right? well that explains why your laptop dont have optimus so then bios do not have primary display feature as well so you would have to enable or disable nvidia one manualy i think look on your laptop chassi for any discrete shortcut button could be touch button or anything like that.
I went through manual file for your model and nope it didnt have gpu switch button either :/ so i'm clueless about problem then either i'm guessing that since you installed 980M it has began to not function correctely since your model dont support it :/ but that wont prevent it from detecting it and appear in windows but other features like auto switch would stop working and so on since bios is regonizing your gpu isnt compatible for it or something thats what i'm guessing :/ but it can be completely something else thats causing this problem, so i'm gona let some 1 else on forum answer you on this.

Can't install Intel WiDi in my GT70 0nd-444us! Need help!

Hello guys, i'd bought my gt 70 last week in fry's. The model is the 0nd-444us. Its a notable and a great machine, but one of the functions of i'd expected most, the Intel WiDi technology, is not working! The note meet the Intel WiDi specifications, and on the model official website is listed as a Intel Widi notebook. I simple cant install the WiDi software, it says my machine doesn't meet the requirements. I've updated on intel websites, centrino's wireless 2230 and intel hd4000, but program's not installing. I've backed to windows 7 and for my surprise... it worked! The programa install and run perfectly I think it's an incompatibility drivers problem with windows 8 or something else. I've google it and some people are asking for solutions like me. Other notebook manufactures made custom drivers that work!
Please help me guys! Anyone could install widi intel with no problem on windos8?
Thanks!

Under Windows 8 you will need to use an older version(3.0.13.0) of the WIDI software and in most case it will work. Even if it says that is for windows 7 only it will actually work on Windows 8.
Please go up on intel website and search for Intel Wireless Display Software ver. 3.0.13.0, download that and install.
That should be it.

GT70 0ND-444US Won't turn on, probably mobo issue.

My laptop suddenly turned off and it won't turn on, it's like dead. I tried some reset procedures (battery, 10 sec. power button, etc) but they didn't help. My guarantee has expired too. I will check it detailed but I think the problem is motherboard. And I found some MS-17621 on the internet but they are too expensive (starting from 300 dollars); does MS-17631 fits to my model (GT70 0ND-444 US) because it's price is 150 dollars. The 17631 is for the GT70 series too but I can not sure about compatibility. I live in Turkey and won't trust the authorized service (there are many complaints about them), and they want money for only checking problems .

Have you tried to turn it on with the battery removed?
Sometimes on rare occasions a battery could die and short itself out in w way they if it is connected to the laptop even with the AC power cable plugged in it will act like the laptop is dead.
Rare chance but worth a try if you haven't already done so.
Another way for you to try is remove bottom cover and look for a CMOS battery if you find it ant it's access able where you are then disconnect it for 5-10 mins, also make sure AC and other actual battery is disconnected as well once 5-10 mins has been put cmos battery back and connect AC adapter and press power button if lucky your laptop will start and show MSI logo again sometimes bios chip hangs and stops responding so motherboard wont start but doing this procedure will actually power bios chip off fully and so

MSI GT70 0ND-444US dreaded GPU issues

Hello guys, so i've had my 0ND-444US for about two years now and within the last 6 months i've been getting BSODs (GRAPHICS_DRIVER_TDR_FAULT) when trying to game (nvidia 675m). I've formatted windows, re-pasted gpu heatsink, and tried different drivers with the same result everytime. I've done some research and it sounds like these should've been recalled by MSI as a lot of people have this issue.
My question really is...What are my options? Do I take a $300-$400 gamble on a GPU upgrade? Do I try to repurchase the same junk 675m card?
Here are a couple of my dmp files:

Thank you for the recommendation for the 680m, I'll start looking into what it costs.
Can my 1762 easily upgrade to the 680m?
There shouldn't be a problem, As long as it's an MSI card. That's usually the 'tough' part. Many people buy the ones that claim they are "MSI/DELL/CLEVO", but they aren't always 100% compatible then. If you truly want it to work, and work well, I'd look into verifying without a shadow of a doubt that it is an MSI based card.

Z68MA-ED55&THX TruStudio Pro

I cannot make THX Trustudio Pro work on my PC, tried different Realtek HD Audio drivers(from CD, MSI website and Realtek website), different THX drivers (1.03, 1,04) in multiple combinations, but still no luck.
It is my understanding that THX is a licensed software so is it possible that MSI did not update the latest BIOS with proper license?

not happy with MSI Support- they locked my issue although is unresolved
did probably 20 install/uninstalls using driver sweeper and different versions of THX and Realtek drivers- no luck, THX does not show as a device on win audio control panel, audio genie just shows what functions THX is having without being able to change them
did a test with SRS Audio Lab and it did show there even without restart and was able to pick it over Realtek.
when installed THX adds 3 startup entries: Windows Host Process C:\Windows\system32\THXCfg64.dll,RunDLLEntry THXCfg64 and Product Registration Reminder C:\Windows\UpdReg.EXE and C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\THX TruStudio Pro\THXAudioCP\THXAudio.exe
I read somewhere else that this software needs to be registered in order to be used, but the UpdReg.EXE does nothing

TITANIUM HD + WINAMP + OPENAL = NO "THX TruStudio Pro" :-(

Hi,
Could You Creative company make me possibility to enable THX TruStudio Pro using OpenAL Output ? I had that kind of combination used many years with Xtreme Gamer and I would love to use of HARDWARE sound output with TruStudio !

Ok,
i have tested in Winamp+ Entertnainment Mode:
DirectSound output + EAX Effects = working
DirectSound output + Tru Studio Effects = working
OpenAL Plugin@Default: SB X-FI Audio (Hardware) + EAX Effects = not working
OpenAL Plugin@Default: SB X-FI Audio (Hardware) + True Studio = not working
OpenAL Plugin@Generic Software + EAX = working
OpenAL Plugin@Generic Software + Tru Studio = working
If your Experience is different? maybe there is something wrong.
In my case i had Problems with the newest Drivers, where the TruStudio effects did not apply or in some cases the Tru Studio effects were not even shown in the Console. Sometimes i had the THX Tru Studio Options in Game Mode when using the Creative Audio Control Panel ( Not in the Console Launcher-Whatnot). Very wierd!
Now i am using the Drivers which were supplied on the CD ( Device Manager shows me Version 6.0300.35 from 02.02.200 ) And everything i need works so far, so i haven't done much research to that.
Maybe you should uninstall everything from Creative as clean as possible and try the older Driver.
And again, sorry for my german english.............

Titanium HD - THX TruStudio on box but not included in software?

I used to have the WoW Wireless Headset and it included THX TruStudio PC. It had sliders to adjust things like Surround, Crystallizer, Bass, etc. I picked up a SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium HD and installed the latest drivers from the creative website (dated Feb. 2 or something). I run on Game mode at all times, mostly because I'm afraid to switch between Entertainment, Game, and Audio Creation (switching causes a feedback loop by setting the mic input volume to like uhh....4000% and setting my mic to playback through my headset until I shutdown my computer?! You guys want me deaf or something!). Anyways, I really like the THX Control Panel on my WoW headset so why isn't it included with this sound card? Another thing is EAX effects have no presets...how do I use EAX without presets?
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Excuse the theme I don't want shards of glass getting stuck in my eyes every time something crashes, I'm old school like that.
http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/408/audiocp.png
P.S. A mic boost on this card would be nice too...using Razer Carcharias my voice is quite low volume at 100%!

I said nothing about getting 7.1 audio on component cables. The card is meant to be used with a 2.1 speaker set as it outputs 2 channel stereo audio through its RCA jacks. There is no analog add on module announced for it as of yet that would provide 7.1 analog channel output.
If you did not know what you were buying, then it is your lack of comparison shopping or failure to read the feedback on sites like NewEgg and Amazon. What you expected and what was in the box are two different things.
I do not say these things to be harsh. The box has pictures and specifications on the side panels and the manuals are available for download.
Cheers,
jmacguire
jmaquire,
Well said.... I love my Titanium HD, it melts my ears....
Here's my setup:
Tyan S2895, a pair of Opteron 290's
8 gig ECC RAM
4 WD Velocity Raptors
Cruddy video card 7800GTX
Titanium out to a pair of M-Audio EX66's
I'm curious. Have you tried upgrading your opamp's yet? I'm attempting to collect some reviews on different opamps. There seems to be a few formadable replacements for the stock.

MSI GT70 0ND-490NE

Hi! Is adapter 957-16F21P-101 (19,5V, 9,2A output) Compatible with my msi gt70 0ND-490NE (Battery says output range 19V 9,5A, old adapter had 19V, 9,5A). Im currently running on battery. Could the new adapter harm my laptop?

There's actually 2 places for the memory. 2 sticks are right under the keyboard, 2 sticks are on the bottom accessible by removing the bottom plastic panel.
My GT70 came with 12 GB (4GB x 3). 2 sticks were under the keyboard, 1 stick was on the bottom. I added another on the bottom for 16 GB.
Anyway, all that aside, if you have questions on disassembling the GT70, go to the following guide, it's very accurate:

That should be able to help you with removing the memory sticks.
If I was in your shoes, I'd consider just buying all new memory. It will probably cost more for you to RMA the memory or laptop (in shipping it to wherever it would need to go) than to just purchase some new memory.
Thanks for help
I just removed the Ram on DIMM slot 3 and now im working with 24GB ram without any problems

Z68MA ED55 THX TruStudio Pro not working

I cannot make THX Trustudio Pro work. Returns error when it starts: There is no supported audio device avaible. Driver and Audio Genie is installed. I have read that other users have the same problem but there is no resolution by MSI.
Since I bought and paid for a product that needs to work, expect a fix. I have already written to THX to inform them.
It's the first MSI product I buy, and definitely the last. Their service has closed the ticket without responding. You are the worst of the worst.

IMO MSI "forgot" to pay the license and we are stuck with a non-existent , but advertised feature.
Oh, come on: unless you have sufficiant proof for that, this is first and foremost not the opinion you are entitled to have, but mere speculation and therefore somewhat of a conspiracy theory. You are not only suggesting that the license was not payed for but also that this happened because somebody "forgot" to. Too many unnecessary assumptions, if you ask me.
Actually, you forgot to include another factor in your theory: the sound chip is neither an MSI nor a Creative product but actually a Realtek® ALC892 chip. Perhaps Realtek has forgotten to pay for its own part of the license deal, ever thought of that? This is a theory you might even like, as it is based on your original idea, but broader in perspective. It is a more radical conspiracy theory than yours, because it is able to explain much, much more than yours:

It has the same issue on various mainboards/OS combinations.

I said various mainboards: MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, Intel, ...
... but let's be honest: Speculation is what this is, nothing else.
We have a simple symptom: A piece of third party software application is telling you that no supported hardware is found, even though you know that there is a Realtek® ALC892 onboard which is supposed to be supported. The error message is not mentioning one single thing about a license problem.
The simplest explanations should be preferred to radical conspiracy theories:
1) A buggy routine in the installation software treats the right hardware as not supported. [a problem Creative needs to fix]
2) The Realtek Driver which is supposed to properly initialize the hardware and render it usable by other software applications is missing certain flags or device ID markers that cause the THX software to not properly recognize the hardware as supported [a problem Realtek needs to fix]
3) The BIOS/UEFI is not initializing the onboard sound chip in terms of hardware ID information on the most basic level of hardware initialization [a Problem MSI needs to fix via an UEFI Update]
4) ... an unfortunate combination of the above.
Once these explanations have been properly falsified, the way is open for speculation and conspiracy-theory-building regarding licenses that were not payed because someone forgot to do that. The bottom line is, that I do not see any indication that the 4 above hypotheses have been sufficiantly falsified in the context of this thread and the involved troubleshooting.
MSI has put forth an UEFI/BIOS update (v10.4) containing the following fix:
- Update Realtek HD Audio verb table SSID 7676 (Fix THX Audio issue).
This fix basically fits my third hypothesis. If that does not solve the issue, we still have to consider hypothesis 1, 2 and 4 as possible explanations, before it makes sense to build more advanced theories about this whole matter.
