K8N SLI Platinum audio problem

I have some problems with on-board audio, I can't find any solution on this Forum:
1. I hear loud noise from my speakers MT 323 5.1 after booting in Windows, same speakers connected to my second PC (Abit NF7S +Soundstorm) are noiseless. If I use headphones connected to MB AUD1 from case front panel, there is no such noise. So this is not speakers fault.
2. Channel separation is almost OK, but I hear right rear channel in central speaker during test from Speaker Settings panel.
Overall quality of sound is very good, only above problems
This situation not depends on SB Live! 24 bit drivers - 5.12.1.353 and ...356 - same problem. Of course my PSU has -5V rail.
Maybe somebody had such kind of problem?

Thanks Richard for your reply,
I had done what you had suggested, with software volume level controls set from 100% to 0% there is no difference in noise level, with speakers controls I'm reducing noise level but it is still in background. If I am in SuSE Linux mode I don't hear noise with 100% volume level (both software and hardware controls).

Point of view 6800ultra
2*512 crusial BallistiX pc4000
My problem is that the pc will not boot after 235 FSB. I have tried with 2*512 pc2700 memory with same result. I have tried diferent memory timing but it wont help, i have add more voltage to the memory and cpu but it wont work either. Im open for any idea.
I hoped to at least overclock the cpu to 2,6 ghz watercoold
Plz HELP

Maybe i need to add more electric power for my memorys. The spec says 2.80 volt on 250 mhz but i start to suspect that this is just an minimum requirment, maybe i need more than 3.0 v to operate the memorys on high performance(beyond 230 fsb), but the thing is that BIOS allows me only too add 2.85v maximum.
Im trying to find a newer version of BIOS version 3.1 if there is any....
Here: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/other/111
v5.0 Beta 4 allows to give 3.10V to the memory but i don´t think it´s going to help you, you probably have the CBBID issue.

K8N Neo Platinum Audio Problem

My motherboards is connected to my home audio receiver via optical audio cable, and only sends the front left and right channels when using the ac97 codec. How do I set the spdif connection to send all signals in a 5.1 surround system.
Also to note there is nothing wrong with the connection because videos using the ac3 codec use full dolby digital and all signals work.
Also the other channels work fine using ac97 when I attach speakers to the rear speaker analog port on the motherboard, so that channel exists.
Please help, much appreciated.

I didn't even know there was a way to turn off decoding to get a passthrough. I've found that there is a lack of options that make a difference when I need them. I don't think it's necessarily a driver problem, because I can watch movies just fine off my hard drive in 5.1 providing they support the ac3 filter. I emailed msi and they said:
"You will need to install an AC3 Decoder in order to process and SPDIF output
to the receiver."
Problem is that I couldn't find an interactive decoder that would process multichannel output in a game. I emailed realtek as well to get their take on it, and they said:
"I'm sorry !!
The AC'97 Audio codec didn't support AC-3 Encoder for SPDIF-Out . You can try to play sound with PowerDVD or WinDVD"
So I have no idea what to do. It's starting to look to me that we're getting ripped off here. My problem is that I don't own any speaker systems other than my surround sound, which I cannot connect through analog, so I guess I'm gonna be deprived or digital surround in my games. Unless I buy an audigy 2 zs platinum which costs a fortune, and that might not even support multichannel spdif output.
If anyone finds a way around this, I'm sure it would help me and a lot of users.

K8N SLI Platinum BIOS problems

For a long time now i have been unable to enter my BIOS Screen at all.
Its quite annoying as im using it as my file server and since i cant change the settings i cant stop it from complaining about the absense of a floppy drive.
All it does when i attempt to enter the BIOS it displays a Black screen with a flashing cursor.
i have tried reflashing to an earlier BIOS but none from 3.3 and above have worked at all to change this.
I tried looking thru the forums for a similar problem but the only ones i managed to find was for the K8N Neo4 where they saidit had something to do with CPU temperature readings being on the negative side of 0. i can confirm my motherboard is doing the same thing since i use both Motherboard Monitor 5 and MSI's Core Centre, both read around -38°c.
Could this be the same issue and if so how on earth do i fix it.
As i said i tried using a BIOS flash and also tried flashing all parts of the BIOS including the Boot block.

Unlucky to you that you may need either to RMA the mobo if there is a warranty in your country or else you can used the Modded bios this can solve you -temperatures. How did you flashed your bios? Using liveupdates or manual? It seems that you're using the liveupdates to updates. Am I right? When was the last time ou flashed the bios? GD luck.

K8N Sli Platinum sound problems

Hi.
I'll get right to it: the sound is very faint and if i turn the volume up it sounds like it's clipping.
I've had the mobo for about a year now and this problem appeared about two weeks ago, and it is not because of the lack of a -5 V pin, because the psu has one and i also saw the MSI voltage converter near the second PCI-E slot. There are no device conflicts, and it sometimes started to sound ok but i noticed no pattern.
If anybody has an idea, please shout...

Does it happen with headphones too?
yes, it happens with anything plugged in either of all 4 outputs (in 7.1 mode).
The last driver i had installed is: Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit and Sound Blaster Audigy LS driver 1.04.0055 (Aug 05), off the creative site, and it worked fine before.

K8N SLI Platinum boot problems

Hi there everyone,
I am new here so I am sorry for any mistake I make while setting up the topic.
Anyway, I have just bought this board but I have experienced some problems. When I turn on my PC it sometimes doesnt boot and halts on POST and sometimes when the logo of Win appears.
I dont know what to do . I have already loaded the latest BIOS, I run without overclocking but I still have these problems.
Here is my setup:
A64 3000+ (Venice)
Gainward 7600GS
Fortron 350W (20 pin and here could be the problem, coz mobo has 24pin)
2x512MB DDR PQI
Audigy 4
TV card Leadtek
80GB Seagate
Thanks for any help guys....

OK, guys, I guess you are right.
But I was to a website (I dont remember address) where you could compute the power supply you need according to your parts in PC and I had something about 240W so I hoped my PSU would be enough
Well, anyway thanks for help and I am going to shop for new power supply
//EDIT: I have P-ATA HDD and it is always detected. It gets stuck sometimes before HDD detection, sometimes after it and sometimes during the WIN logo....

MSI K8N SLI Platinum IDEs Problem

I have loads of problems with my optical drives.
1st started by the drive not being able to record, so i went to bios and on bios there wasn't even recognized, none secondary ides. rebooted, then no primary and secondary IDEs, after changing mems, and cables, the problem was the same.
this was fixed by making a bios reset. on the next day i was record a cd and got an error something about "fixing session", after this has happen the drive has simply died. it doesn't recognizes blank or recorded stuff, nothing, it's just blind.
the drive is a sony dru530a.
is this a motherboard issue? cause on the old board i never had problems with my drives.
Thanks for helping.

The drive has 1 year only and never gave any problems, just with this new board.
the strange thing, is that today it is reading again, what the hell is hapenning here?
How can i filter if this is a MB or drive problem?

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!

Any known problems: MSI K8N SLI Platinum + seagate 7200.9 sata2 hdd?

Hi all.
I planning to buy Seagate sataII 7200.9 250GB drive (model: ST3250824AS) very soon (finally they are in stock in my city), but first i want to know is there any incompatibility issues or other problems with such combination - MSI K8N SLI Platinum + seagate 7200.9 series hdd.
I don't have any experience with sata2 drives yet. Currently i'm using seagate 7200.7 120GB IDE hdd.
I don't plan use RAID or use that new 7200.9 drive in combination with current 7200.7 drive (will use current hdd in other pc).
Any tips/experience would be great.

Seagate SATA II 7200.9 250GB drive (model: ST3250824AS) has both 3 G/bps speed and NCQ (Native Command Queuing) most all MB’s with the nVidia Chipsets using the nForce4 chip will have problems. If they are not using RAID and you reduce the speed to 1.5 G/bps with a single drive you maybe able to get it to work. Personally, I know the MS-7125 and MS-7220 both will not run RAID with those to motherboards.
I have been battling with MSI and ASUS over this problem sense November and they have not come up with a fix. Problem involved BIOS and RAID Controller Driver for the chipset. Most MSI motherboards latest BIOS have fixed the BIOS half of the problem. There is an unreleased 32-bit driver for Windows, but nothing for Windows XP 64.

Problems with older PCI-Videocards on K8N SLI Platinum ??

Hi there,
i just recieved my K8N SLI Platinum (without NEO) yesterday. Unfortunatly my new PCIe-Videocard isn't here yet,
so i just built my rig with an old S3 Trio64 to install Windows etc. and to have at least my PC for some surfing and so on...
The problem is:
The Card is marked with an ! in the device-manager. It says the card couldn't get its required resources, and that i'd have to
disable some other device of the system first to fully use the videocard. I checked for IRQ's, but the card has an exclusive one.
I put it in the second (middle) PCI-Slot on the board. Due to that error, the drivers are not installed correctly and the performance
of the display is ... well its even to slow for scrolling pages while surfing ... thats realy anoying, and my PCIe-card will not be here
until the end of next week
I even manged to get another old PCI-dinosaur, but with no luck. The same Problem persists. So i think it's some problem with
the board or some iossettings. The only thing regarding display in the bios was the PCIe / PCI switch which is correctly set to PCI.
So if anyone knows how to get an old PCI-card running in that board, please help me
[ApoC]

Well,
"f***ing up" the OS is not a problem, i got a GHOST of my perfectly fresh & clean OS.
I have disabled:
both SATA-Controllers (still running on good old ATA Samsung SpinPoint P80)
the FireWire-Controller (which is shown in Windows anyways )
I changed the videocard from PCI 2 to PCI 1, with the only result that it shares IRQ with the OnBoard-Soundblaster in slot1.
In slot2 it gets an exclusive IRQ. The problem is, i can't even see what resources are making trouble since Windows doesn't
show any information in the cards resource-infos but that it ain't working (say what?)
*sigh*
[ApoC]
Edith says:
I remember problems with the APIC-Mode on many nForce-2 Boards. Could this still be a problem? Any infos on that matter yet?

MSI K8N SLI Platinum vs 1.5TB Western Digital

Hi Everyone,
I have recently been having some issues with my K8N SLI platinum and hoping I could get some help on resolving the issue.
For the past 2 years i have been running the machine with multiple SATA drives (160GB{boot} and 300GB) and have now tried to add an additional 1.5TB WD and have encountered some problems. If i put my 1.5TB into a USB enclosure and then connect it to my machine it is recognized perfectly and I am able to write and read from the drive, However if i put it into my machine as a secondary HDD my computer fails to boot.
First when i put the drive in my computer no longer boots to windows. It gets to post and loads the drives (including the new drive) and then wont go any further. PC seems to stall and wont allow me to get to the BIOS.
I boot up the machine without the drive connected and go into the BIOS and then reconnect the drive. If i do a HDD Scan on SATA3 then the drive will be recognized (however capacity is only 136GB).
My first thoughts were that it was a bios related issue so I have updated the Bios to the latest (3.C according to LiveUpdate) and am still having the same issue. Im not really sure where to go from now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Tim

Hello! Please say what your system looks like. Include what PSU you are using.
Try a different cable.
Jumper the disk to SATA 1.
Try the disk in a different system.

K8N-SLI Platinum strange behaviour

Hi there
Apart from the northbridge making a weird noise sometimes when the motherboard is on it's side (i.e. tower case standing upright), the motherboard started behaving strangely on saturday
first the computer refused to find my network, always assigning a local ip, so i tried rebooting the router a few times, and then checked my other computer which is connected to the router fine
then i tried to play a game and noticed the sound had gone, and then the game kept quitting barely after i started it so i gave that up
then, after i had to move the mouse between this one and another computer, the usb ports (all of them, no matter whether through pci card or on motherboard, the mouse stopped working
throughout all of this i rebooted many times.
i finally gave up in the evening, and the next morning on a whim i turned the computer on and everything was fine, what's going on?!?! is this linked to the northbridge at all? i've monitored all the fans and temps and all are normal and running constantly ( cpu never above 40c)
is the motherboard losing it, or maybe the power supply (all voltages seem normal too...)
my spec

1x Xfx 6600GT 256mb
480w Tagen power supply (can't remember which off had, not the 2force one, the other cheap one, it's modular tho)
i was going to take the motherboard back, but now it's working fine i'm sure they wont accept it
please help
thank you in advance
Reaps

Possible suggestions are as follows: Although the manual states that your power supply should be 450w or above i think that with your PSU your fairly border line. Remember that your psu will only draw the power that it requires and as soon as you start putting 256 Mb graphics cards and upgrading to more ram it is using even more resources and can cause your system to have all sorts of dramas and Re-boots.With your network connection problems this could be due to either network problems in your area which BT or your telephone provider can help you with or as i have recently found out.. too many net work connections that may conflict with each other.Go to your controll panel,Network and internet connections then network connections you should have your broadband or dial up connection listed. If you have more than one connection listed and for instance you dont use LAN (local area connection) Networking then you will have to uninstall this connection and disable all Lan options from the Bios i.e nVidia Mac LAN, nVidia Mac LAN ROM, Marvell Gigabit LAN, Marvell Gibyte rom.A possible other prob may be to disable your IEEE 1394 connection from the bios as i had similar problems to yours but am now okay. I am not saying any of these are related directly to your problems however they are possibilities which you may like to try. Please note also that your USB problems can be solved by using the latest Bios update (which i personally have never had any problems with) but may be risky if you have no idea how to flash your bios. My advice on this would be to read the moderators (Bas..i think) instructions as to how to do this or as he suggests unistall all your motherboards usb drivers that were installed from the disk provided by your Motherboard Manafacturer, Re-boot and let windows re-install its own USB drivers which certainly worked for me.

K8N SLI PLATINUM QUESTIONS

Okay finally i overclocked a bit (i am not really in the overclocking business)
With Bios defaults settings without touching anything else i raised FSB to 220 MHz resulting to a 2.2 GHz CPU operating frequency a nice 10% overclock (of course i have disabled spread spectrum in bios) reaching that way the Athlon 64 3500+ .
Every thing seemed rock - stable!!..
However, when i tried to shut down the machine, i got a nice BSOD (Black screen of death) HDD light remained on . As far as i know the board is locking PCI-E , so graphics card and SATA drive should not causing the problem here.
So i raised the CPU core voltage up to 5% and oualla!! Rock stable ( 3 Hours Prime 95)
... did not try to rise chipset voltage or memory voltage (is set to 2.7 volts by memory SPD) since this was not necessary in my case. Might try some more overclocking in the future but right now i am happy with it and just will sit back and enjoy
There is a guy who succeeded in rising FSB to 358!!! Mhz with this board (well almost) he advices just not to enable Aggressive memory timings...
here
Anyway, Thanks for the tips guys
Best Regards,
Markoul
