HELP! K8N NEO4 SLI - SOUND PROBLEMS WITH INSPIRE 7.1

People, i bought K8N NEO4 SLI, and i'm having problems with my Creative Inspire 7.1. I have certain that everything is connected in a correct way, drivers ok, but the side surround speakers doen't make no noise. Creative media is set to 7.1 channels and the speakers too...
I'm thinking that the onboard audio is a bul....
Can someone help me with this? Who here has the same kit as me?
Thanks a lot
Edinho
(brazilian guy)

Man, i'm using those standart cables offered with the product....i thing its analog, i don't know certain...
i'm very about this onboard sound...
and the worst thing, i'vc contacted creative for explanation about it and they answer me that they could'nt help, cause it's a OEM product...no response about it, have to contact MSI..
here in brazil, it's real difficult, cause anoyone cares about it...
i have absolut certain that software and hardware configuration/instalation is ok...cause i had those speakers in other PC...
i've already head tons of audio-problem topics here, and i say: K8N N4 SLI Integrated Sound is a bul...

Help - K8N Neo4 SLI - sound inputs TOO LOUD! (SoundBlaster Live!)

I have two sources for Line In sound; XM Radio and Leadtek TV Tuner Card. In both cases, the sound going from the card is so loud it is distorted even at only 1% of volume on the Soublaster Mixer. This happens whether I plug them into my Line In or Microphone inputs.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can "Tone Down" the signal, so I can turn the sliders up to at least a few percent without it distorting?
Thanks for looking - thanks even more if you respond.

Hi there,
You probably have activate some enhancements in the mixer like 'Mic Boost' or 'Digital Input' those are found in the right side of the mixer they are tick boxes.
Untick them...
Sorrryyyy.....the above is for the ALC 850 chip not for the Creative one....so I'm in the dark, but try to uninstall the drivers and install them again maybe it works.
BTW keep us posted....
Be well....

K8N Neo4 SLI Onboard Creative Audio Problem

I'm using a K8N Neo4 SLI board with the CA something Creative Audio chip onboard. After a cold boot, the audio is alright but after a period of time, I begin to lose power in my left speaker for some reason . This has been confirmed to be a problem pertaining to my mobo, and not my speakers. Any suggestions?

Tried to used driver cleaner to clean all the Creatives drivers then used the drivers provided from the CD or used the latest drivers. If still cannot then configured from Control panel on the speaker or Sound Manager itself. Gd luck.

Welcome to the forum DaaDoctor
If you creat a signature (in profile) it will save you having to type your spec's out each time or us looking for it. Use mine as a template.
What PSU are you using ? Can you list the power output ? (writen on side of psu)
Going from your specs you listed your graphics card is very hungery on power so I would suggest your psu isn't up to the job under load.
Post the spec and we will know for sure.

MSI K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum / HDD_LED Problem

Hello,
First off I would like to say that MSI boards rock! I've always been happy with them, in fact this is my fourth MSI board. The board is K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum.
Unfortunately, I'm having a problem with this one. The problem is minor, but it shouldn't happen, at least I don't think. The problem is that even though the hard drive activity wire is properly connected to HDD_LED, it is not working with my SATA drive. No light at all!
I read in newsgroups that there are people with this same problem (although not necessarily with this same board). I haven't found a solution to this yet. So my inquiry here is:
1. Is there anyone else with this exact board with a SATA drive that can confirm his/her HDD_LED light is also not working with a SATA drive?
2. Does MSI have a fix/solution for this?
Thank you.

THere is a positive and negative side on those pins have you tried flipping it over?
This has got to be one of the biggest "pains in the a&&" in setting up a new mobo and connecting it to a new case...

There's a good chance that this is a known issue. We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/

MSI K8N Neo4/SLI SB Live! 24 bit CA 0

Hello,
I have the MSI K8N Neo4/SLI with SB li've! 24 bit sound card on-board and I want to buy a 5. speaker system with 3 digital input 3(2 optic / coaxial).
The digital optic or the digital coax output from the sound card can make 5. output so i can receive with the 5. system
The system is a Panasonic SC-HT5 (http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs...s&displayTab=S)
Thank you.

The card cannot create 5., so if the audio you're playing isn't already an encoded 5. (AC3) stream, then the card cannot change that. If you're playing DVDs, they should work fine provided everything is set up correctly (including the DVD software, it should be set to SPDIF/Bypass).

Integrated SB Live 24 bit on K8N Neo4 SLI Plat and custom EAX

I want to be able to create some custom EAX settings but I can't seem to find any way to do that on the SB Live 24 bit that's integrated on the K8N Neo4 SLI Plat board. Is anyone able to do this or is it a limitation of the integrated SB Live 24 bit? I hope it's not the latter... Thanks.

Hello, uninstall your sound drivers and go to creative site and get the lastest drivers with creative sound console, install both this sould work.. also clean out all the old sound drivers after uninstalling with driver cleaner. I think thats how i did it. good luck henry9

Does k8n neo4/sli platinum support creative 6.1 surround speakers?

I own an MSI k8n neo4/sli platinum mother board with an on-board SB live 24-bit sound chip. I have confirmed that the retail version of the sound blaster live 24-bit pci sound card will support a 6.1 speaker set up (specifically creative labs megaworks 650) with creative labs proprietary plug configuration of having front center, sub, and rear center speakers all on the same (orange) plug. The plug configuration on the back of the k8n neo4/sli platinum is color coded the same as the retail version of the sound blaster live 24-bit sound card. what I need to know is... Does the k8n neo4/sli platinum support a 6.1 surround sound speaker configuration? I can find no documentation in the literature confirming or denying this. FWIW... the creative sound card softwear that came with this motherboard will allow me to configure and test for 6.1 speakers... but I get no sound from my rear center speaker. On testing, the 5.1 speaker configuration works as it should but I am unable to test for 7.1 config as I lack a 7.1 speaker setup. I am using Version 5.12.1.356 of the creative drivers downloaded from the MSI driver support.
Thanks for your time.

Update...
Last night I noticed that, in windows sounds and audio devices_advanced speaker settings, there is no 6.1 speaker configuration option. (GO to: control panel \sounds and audio devices \sounds and audio devices properties \ volume \speaker settings advanced \advanced audio properties \speakers \speaker setup pull down menu).
I don't know if this pull down menu is generated by windows XP auto detection or the MSI/Creative drivers and .inf files that are installed for the SB 24-bit chip, but it leads me to believe that this MB does _not_ support 6.1 sound.
Can anyone else confirm that this 6.1 speaker option is present or missing in windows with:
1) This MB
2) Windows XP in general
or 3) if it is available to those that have an audigy or 6.1 compatible sound card
Once again...
Thanks for your time,

NOT Stable overclock on K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum 3.9 MOD + Venice 3000+

Hi, to all the people that make this forum so usefull.
I´m wondering what i´m doing wrong? ??? ??? ???
I have a Venice 3000+ E3 on a K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and 1 Gb OCZ Rev2, TCCD.
I have overclocked the CPU to 9 x 290 Mhz (2610Mhz) HTT 3X, MEM 1:1 290Mhz 2.5-4-3-10 1T 2.75V.
Memory is ok at this setting on MEMTEST v1.65.
I have tried Every VCORE possible to the CPU and Nforce Chipset and can´t make it stable.
I can work on windows with this settings but some times the computer locks. >:(
If any of you in the forum have a suggestion or recomendation, please Let me Know.
For a list of complete hardware of my rig, look at the signature.
Thank for all.

I had this exact same problem, same RAM, same MOBO, with an X2 3800+.
For some reason it wouldnt overclock 1:1, and that RAM at wouldnt run at 2.5-x-x-x-1T timings (and i dont think it did 2T stable for too long either). So i was limited to either 2 or 3.
So right now I'm running my X2 at 2.55ghz and my OCZ Platinum 1gb TCCD @ 232(2-3-3-6-1T). Done so by using 183 divider at 255fsb. HTTmulti=3x
Does dual prime 95 for 10-12 hours (havnt tried for longer)
Oh also, for voltage, the RAM has 2.80-2.85, and NF4 gets 1.55-1.60v.

K8N Neo4/SLi - Keeps detecting Raid at bootup

Hello everyone,
My K8N Neo4/Sli non platinum board keeps detecting IDE raid at bootup. Am I supposed to load the raid drivers on the floppy even though I don't have it enabled in the bios? That may be a separate question but curious. At this point it's more of a 10-15 second annoyance. My machine radomly freezes in windows xp too. Not sure if it's related.
Thank you to anyone that can help or has ideas.
Setup:
3500+
7800gtx msi
samsung sata 7800 160g drive on first sata
Maxtor ide on 1st IDE
2 opticals on 2nd IDE

LOL...or sometimes when O.C.'ing the CPU...SATA devices decide to take a vacation!!!!
i don't have any SATA devices on my machine, but i still couldn't figure out why after i stoped using RAID and wanted to switch to a 2X160 GB non-RAID config, after BIOS post the screen would hang at detecting NV raid. took me 3 hours to find out that if the optimized settings were loaded, the trick would be to disable the aggresive memory timings from the cell menu. strangely enough, it worked with aggresive timings and the BIOS i had when i got the mobo (it didn't hang at detecting and configuring raid) but not with the new ones. and this was without any OC.

Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

I had the same problem, but it disappeared yesterday. Try it run under root - it helped me. I dont really know how i fixed it, but it works under normal user now as well ...I hope there will be someone who knows.

Sound problems with car radio

Hello,
I've updated my iPod touch 3G from 3....to OS 4.01. Since then there is often an "unclear" sound when it is connected with our JVC car radio. I've tried different combinations, also with an iPod classic connected with the radio and the touch with other docks, but only t h i s combination causes unsatisfying sound results. Not always, but often. It's annoying...any ideas?
Thanks,
Knödel

Hi,
I work for JVC and would like to try and help. I had similar problems with 4.0.1 which went away when I updated to iOS 4.1. Now Apple has release iOS 4.2.
Please try a further update, and if that doesn't solve your problem, please let me know the specific model of JVC that you have.
Thanks,
Chris

Sound problems with movie

I just purchased the movie "Overboard" in HD. The movie video plays ok, but the sound keeps going in and out.
I don't understand why this is happening. My music plays ok and I'm not having any other sound problems with my
computer. I am running Itunes on a Windows 8.1 desktop computer (Gateway).
I couldn't figure out how to re-download it or repair it.
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!

Sound problems with Portege M600 using WXP SP3

I have had on-going sound problems with my laptop and feel so frustrated - please help!
I have downloaded the sound driver (abt a million times - and tried uninstalling then reinstalling) - and repeatedly get no volume icon on the desk top and a message saying "no sound driver can be found".
I did manage to fix it once - when i had WIndows Vista installed - by finding some obscure patch - but this time around - no solutions.
Can anyone help - it is so frustrating!!!!

The mentioned patches are part of Win XP SP2 & SP3
So ensure that all service packs are installed.
Then go to device manager and delete the High Definition Audio Controller (in system devices) and additionally delete all devices from Audio, Video and Game controller section.
Then reboot the notebook.
Wait until the device would be recognized again and then install the sound driver!
