K8N Neo4 Platinum - Audio In not working?

I've plugged in 3 cd players, and a ton of other things, and made sure that the volume is up on my pc and i can't seem to get any of the audio in to come through
Any idea how to get it to work?

neohemp ,
That is great news! Glad to hear you are all set.
You might want to also download the latest Realtek AC97 Drivers or the nVidia Audio Drivers
If you had listed all your specs we could have taken a look at your comp and offer other options too.

MSI K8N SLi Platinum Duall Channel not work? Please help

I Have Athlon 64 3200 Venice, MSI K8N SLi Platinum and 2x 1Gb Corsair Value Select (VS1GB400C3: 780-0526097-0-747791 and 780-0526097-0-747595) i set both modules in green slots. But it works as single channel on 200 mhz? Why? How I can set to work in dual channel on 400 mhz? Thanks and sory on my bad Ennglish.

K8N Neo4 Platinum SATA2 HDD Not Detected HELP!

I have built 3 identical rigs, the rigs are in my signature. the problem i am having is that the SATA2 hard drives are detected by the bios, i have them plugged in the purple slots sata1 and sata2, When the drives are plugged in there the system runs slow. What happens is when i put the windows XP cd in to install it starts to boot from the cd and gives me the part "setup is detecting hardware on the black screen" then that goes away and i just get a black screen. The same problem occurs on all 3 rigs. The only way i can manage to get everything working and with windows installed is if i use the orange sata slots which are sata5 and sata6, but then i have to use it as raid. Currently have them setup as raid0. I was wondering if anyone knows a solution for the problem. Running the drives on the orange slots doesnt use the 300MB/s only runs them at 150MB/s. The only thing i can think off is that we would need a BIOS update to correct the problem with the sata2 hard drives. Seems to me like other people here are also having problems with sata2 hard drives.
Any feedback or sugestions would be apreciated.

gffreire,
I am the person who started the tread you referenced.
The Problem must everyone is having is with true SATA II drive the have 3 Gb/s speed and NCQ features.
The fix for all of this takes two things, (1) BIOS V1.A and earlier have a problem and (2) all current nVidia RAID drivers posted, unless they have posted some thing new in the last day, that include 32-bit and 64-bit have also got problems.
I have tested a new beta BIOS and Beta driver for 32-bit when used together, they work. The new-posted BIOS V1.B appears to have the BIOS fix in it, but currently posted, RAID Drivers still have no fix incorporated in them.
Send me your E-mail address by Personal Message and I will send you a copy of the Beta 32-bit drive. So, if you upgrade to BIOS V1.B and are installing the beta driver, during clean install, it may solve your problem. However, be remaindered this driver is pre-beta and also does not includes no “xxx.cat” file. Effects on your system could be anything. I have gotten it to run using a clean install on both of my MS-7125 MBs.

K8N Neo4 Platinum Audio Problem

I'm having a problem with getting surround sound to work at all on this system. There are a number of problems.
Here is my main problem I'm currently dealing with. At one point I was able to have my surround speakers work on this PC. It's a standard setup, 2 front speakers, 2 rear speakers, and a single subwoofer. The color coding on the back of the PC indicates green for front, black for rear. That's fine and dandy, however only the black rear output seems to work.
If I plug the green into the green, nothing comes out the front speakers. If I plug the green into the black, sound will come out of the front speakers, but off the rear channel. I guess basically my problem is that my onboard sound will not put sound out of the front output as well as the rear.
I've tried installing sound cards, but the system basically rejects them. It won't even detect any sound cards I install. Windows will give me critical errors if I install drivers for any sort of third party soundcard.
It's as if this system REALLY doesn't want me to get my surround sound. Any ideas? I have all the newest drivers for my board, bios, etc. Thanks.

I'm glad you followed my advice...
Quote from: blazing storm on 06-December-05, 07:21:11
Try taking out the card, uninstalling the original onboard sound drivers, disable the onboard sound, plug the card back in. Boot up, and now hopefully it will work?
Great news that you're sorted!

Anyone get 2gb Memory to run at 1T in K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI MB?

I recently upgraded to 2 GB Geil memory in my new K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI system (not the system listed in my signature). I cannot get it to boot if I set Ram to 1T.
Has anyone been able to run 2GB at 1T in this MB?
Thanks.
fafner

Thanks all for your comments.
I have the Geil Value 2x1gb dual channel kit. It is rated at 3, 4, 4, 8. I can get it to run fine at 3,3,3,8 at 2T. I cannot get it to boot at 1T with either the rated settings or the faster settings. It will boot at at 2.5, 3,3,8, but is not stable.
I can exchange this kit for a higher quality kit, but I don't want to do that unless someone else has had success with runing 2x1gb in this Neo 4 Platinum SLI board.
The memory I have runs at 1t in my K8Neo2 system as my does my Kingston Value RAM (2x512). It so happens that I have 2 Kingston value kits (total of 4x512), which I could try but everything I have read says it will run at 333mhz with four stix.
My experience has been that the K8N Neo2 Platinum is more accepting of value memory in general than the K8N Neo4 Plat/SLI. I have also read that getting any 2x1gb kit to run at 1T in the Neo4 Platium/Sli board is impossible or at least nearly so. That is why I am looking for soneone who has success (or no success) with 2x1gb sticks at 1T in the same mb as mine.
Net I want to get the best 2gb configuration possible but onle one that someone already has experience with (since I can only exhange the Geil kit once).

Firewire/1394 devices are not auto-detected with k8n neo4 platinum

I am unable to detect firewire/1394 devices to my PC through my K8N Neo4 Platinum. That is, I plug in the device through the firewire port and windows doesn't detect that a device has been plugged in.
I have tried:
-2 firewire devices, both are Canon digital camcorders (ZR10 and ZR25MC)
-2 different firewire cables
-reinstalling windows, got all windows updates except
(Microsoft Base Smart Card Cryptographic Service Provider Package: x86 (KB909520))
-patch from microsoft, discussed here
(https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=81749.0)
-both firewire devices using both cables connect just fine to a test computer
-both my computer and the test computer have Windows XP Pro SP2
Windows doesn't make the noise "bah-dum" that it has detected a device, nor does it display the dialog that gives me options of what programs to use. Once in a while, if I leave it connected for a while and come back, windows will eventually find it...or windows might bog down and get really slow. It speeds up again instantly once I unplug the firewire device. Strange, I know. Also there are NO conflicts in device manager.
Could it be?:
-bios misconfiguration
-need to use an older chipset driver (i am using most recent from nvidia.com)
-onboard audio or front audio needs to be disabled
-the k8n neo4 platinum simply has connection problems with some firewire devices
(i hope not)
Bob

Built2Last: (good questions!)
I tried your suggestion by removing PCI cards and made FURTHER progress. I found out that my firewire card, the Syba NEC1394-P3, has some compatibility issues with my other PCI cards. I found this out because:
1. it worked fine after I placed it in a non-comm (orange) slot and removed my soundcard (X-Fi) and Belkin wireless modem, and
2. a tech support representative from Syba told me that that particular firewire card has compatibility issues
Quote
Also, SD-NEC-4F is our older model firewire card.
Our new firewire card (SD-PCI-4F) is using VIA VT6306 chipset and no customer complain about any installation issue so far.
If the SD-NEC-4F still giving you trouble, I'll suggest you to return it and exchange for the SD-PCI-4F firewire card.
At least he is honest and wants to help, so I remain impartial towards Syba.
So I figured out the firewire card, but not the onboard firewire. Ok, but check this out! When the Syba card was working, I could plug in BOTH the external hard drive AND either of the Canon camcorders to the Syba firewire card. Windows all three devices just fine. Again, the onboard firewire would ONLY detect JUST the external hard drive, but would not detect either of the Canon camcorders. It seems as though the ball again is knocked back into MSI's court on this issue. Any ideas?
syar2003:
As for drivers, I checked for drivers for: onboard firewire, add-in firewire card, and Canon camcorders.
-I cannot find where there is an MSI firewire driver for my onboard firewire port. I originally guess that it was part of my chipset driver installer, but the README doesn't say anything about it. It is also not an additional download on MSI's website. But since it detects an external hard drive I figure I must already have it.
-The add-in firewire card does not have drivers. I repeat, they do not exist. The manual and Syba's website both state that drivers for the card are included all versions of Windows back to Windows 98.
-Canon's website has a driver/software download page but it also appears that drivers do not exist for the Canon camcorders.
Yes the camcorder is set to VCR mode.
Yes the IEEE1394 is correctly installed, since external hard drive connects okay.
I tried two DV cables and both are connected fine.
The camcorders do not support USB as far as I can see, and if they do, I'm not using it.

Playing DVD-Audios with an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

I have a system built around an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum motherboard. I'm using the motherboard's onboard sound, and I have it connected to a 5.1 speaker system. Using WinDVD 6 Platinum, I can play regular DVDs just fine, with awesome surround sound. However, when I try to play DVD-Audios, I only get stereo sound. Anyone have any suggestions?
A.J.

DVD video sound format AC3 5.1 and DVD-Audio sound format is not the same .
DVD-Audio disks has also a video AC3 5.1 track and stereo track , set yor sw player to use AC3 and see if it helps.
E.g a soundblaster Audigy ZE , or X-FI can render DVD-Audio , but not the onboard sound on Neo4.

SATA drives not being detected - K8N Neo4 Platinum

I have the same problem, different PSU!

corsair 1gb dual channel ddr400
nvidia 8800gts
antec truepower 550 (19a @ 12v)
used to run 2 ide maxtor 120 and 80
added in a sata dvd writer, worked for 6 months
added in a sata 1TB seagate 7200, sata fails a majority of the time
same symptons now persist as in original post.
:< either bios detects both sata drives, neither, or it crashes. this happens respectively rarely, uncommon, and most common
what ive tried:
updated all mainboard, bios, video drivers to the most up to date (i had to in order for bios to detect the full size of the 1TB)
no ide, same problems
only 1 sata, with and without ide, same problems
the sata only works after a long period of time (or randomly), that i dont use it
(ive had both sata unplugged for 12 hours, booted up this morning with them and it detected, i selected safe mode boot, after making it through a majority of the load, it crashed)
testing a new psu in a day or so, much more powerful. ill give you all my results.

The cables aren't overly bent?
"...worked for 6 months"
"...fails a majority of the time"

K8N Neo4 Platinum not booting

Hi I just moved my fully working K8N Neo4 Platinum based setup from one case to another, and now it's not booting. All fans are starting but the USB D-bracket 2 shows LED's 1 and 4 yellow and 2 and 3 red and the computer hangs. I can't seem to find this LED combination in the manual where it's only supposed to show green and red lights. Anyone got any idea of what's wrong?
Thanks

Okay I'll try to be more specific, the thing that makes me clueless is that the rig has been working flawlessly before.
CPU/Memory:
AMD Athlon64 Venice 90nm 3500+ 2.2GHz
2x512 MB OCZ DDR PC-4000 Gold VX (500 Mhz, 2-2-2-8)
I've tried unmounting every single component and mounting it back on again. I've tried both memory sticks in a single slot but no luck.
The PSU it's been running on is an Antec True380SP 380W (included in Antec Sonata case), yes 380W is a bit low so i tried a beefier PSU as well (Antec True430P 430W) with the same result.
Max Amperage:
Antec True430P 430W -- +3.3V = 28A, +5V = 36A, +12V = 20A
Antec True380SP 380W -- +3.3V = 28A, +5V = 35A, +12V = 24A
HDD:
Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD 74Gb 10000rpm 16Mb cache SATA connected to SATA1
All fans power up, Power LED lights up and HDD powers up, but no VGA signal. I've reset CMOS and I've read through the stickies and tried the fixes there applicable to my problems, but no luck so far. Only thing I can think of that haven't tried is switching the CMOS battery.

"K8N Neo4" dual core? NOT Neo4-F or platinum or SLI

I have a K8N Neo4. <- period. msi seems conveniently to have forgotten about this model, it doesn't show up on their site at all. literally a week after I bought it, it looked like they repackaged it and put a "dual core ready" sticker on it.
just wondering if the F model was just a bios update, or if they're just pretending that a single core limited version of the neo4 never existed.
thanks
P.S. I tried to search for the answer before I posted, but all I found was people talking about their F or Platinum series and the dual cores they have in them.

Quote from: arpheztwig on 23-December-07, 02:39:41
well, the box didn't say it was an -F, and the box didn't say it was dual core ready, is it still possible it's the black?
does anyone know for sure that it ISN'T dual core ready? otherwise I'm going to assume that it is and buy a new processor, I'll let you know what happens.
"F" usually is not written. You must have this one---> K8N Neo4-F (PCB 1.0) in Black PCB, but if its somethink else from possibilities like K8N Neo4 Platinum (PCB 1.0) or K8N Neo4-FI (PCB 1.0) it doesn't matter, all boards support dual core CPU and shares same BIOS in same time.

K8N Neo4 Platinum not detecting hard drive

Hi,
what may cause a K8N Neo4 Platinum to not detect an IDE hard drive? no matter what i try the mobo never sees the hard drive.

welcome to the forum
1) What Hard drive - size & make
2) How connected - By itself as Master or slave.
3) What other ide devices.
it's a lot easier when u post some specs & we can quit the guessing games.

Memory Controller not available - K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra

Hi Experts!
I have typical problem in my PC. I need reply only from experts. Newbies please excuse.
My system displays the following info in POST.
VENDOR / DEVICE CLASS DESCRIPTION IRQ
===================================
10DE 005E 0580 Memory Controller NA
If anyone can correctly PIN POINTEDLY identify why this is displayed, it will be much helpful
As such I face no difficulty with my system. But this message very much annoys me.
Thanks.
My PSU Details:
400W. +12V 20Ampere. (This is the maximum I could afford in our indian PC environment.)
AMD 3000+ Winchester 90nm. CPU.
K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra Mother Board.
512 MB Hynix PC3200 Memory. (2*256)
80GB Western Digital.
Ordinary PCI VGA 2mb card.
Samsung CDROM.

There is no driver for memory controller with A64 (nforce3/4) as stated earlier .
You see this in the memctrl.inf for UDP 5.10 , driver pack for nforce 3 and backwards down to nforce 1 .
Memctrl is only added to the 5.10 package for backward support to nf2 and lower as this is a unified driver package and
the memory controller is at chipset level on the motherboard that resides in the external northbridge on nf2 chipsets and lower .
What you see is just a vendor/machine id description and is just as it should be .

RMA'ed K8N Neo4 Platinum board, no sound on the new board's output

Hi Folks,
I just got back the replacement for the K8N Neo4 Platinum boad I sent in a month ago. The good news -- my mirrored RAID array came back up and my WinXP/SP2 setup looks fine. The bad news -- my front speaker output doesn't put out any sound. My Amplified 2.1 speaker set was plugged into my older machine and working fine, and I just swapped the speaker cable into the green output plug on my MB, and no sounds comes out. Sounds was working on the previous MB which I sent in for RMA, so the software on my HDD's should have been set correctly to generate sounds on the new MB.
First, any suggestions on how to get the sound outputs working? Second, any pointers on how to diagnose what's going on? Should I be seeing "Realtek '97" (or something like that) for the playback and recording devices, for instance?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Clark

Couple of things come to mind. Power on the system and head on' over to the bios. Ensure the audio onboard is actually turned on...or if the board they sent you had it disabled.
Check the Device manager for any "!" in yellow next to anything in the audio dept. (windows control panel/system/hardware...yadda yadda....) If the onboard audio is turned 'on' and windows is seeing it? You'll have a heading for AC '97 listed, and also under sound effects options in the control panel it should be listed. If it's listed as working 'ok'? I seem to remember a set of jumpers on the motherboard for audio output. In the manual it's listing as follows:
"If you don't want to connect the front audio header, pins 5&6, 9&10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports. Otherwise the line-out connector on the back panel will not function" That's out of my manual regarding JAUD1 connector. And I have the Neo4 K8N board.
Best of luck!

K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI Microphone performance

Hi All,
1st post - sorry if this has been answered elsewhere...
I've got a K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI, the one with Creative Live 24 bit onboard sound. I just got it running a few days ago. The audio playback is fine - I can play games, watch DVDs, listen to CDs, etc. No problems there. I've got the Creative drivers from the CD in the motherboard box installed, BTW
The built-in microphone input is less than I expected. I have an old, cheap microphone which works fine (I tested it yesterday) with my (old) computer with built-in sound. On my new Neo4 the recording levels are _very_ low. I've gone in to the Creative Mixer and cranked up the recording volume, as well as toggled the "do not monitor" option (what does this do, BTW?), but it has not solved the problem. I have to speak very loudly with the microphone right by my mouth to hear anything at all.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

I had the same problem on my K8N Neo2 Platinum. I had a really weak microphone that I had to get right up to my mouth before it would start to work. I solved the problem by turning on the "mic boost" option in the control panel. Finding that option was tough. Here is what I had to do:
I had to go into the control panel, get into the sound and audio devices options, hit the audio tab; next to the sound recording section is a button for Volume. Hit that, and it brings up the windows mixer. Under options, make sure the Advanced Controls is checked. Then make sure the microphone input is there. If not, select options/properties and mash down the adjust volume for recording button. Then check down below and make sure microphone is checked. Then the microphone slider should be available. Make sure it is checked. And then hopefully you will see an advanced button. Hit that and check the mic boost. That finally solved my problem.
Good luck.
