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...
specs:
CPU: Venice 3200+ @ 2300
RAM: TwinMos 2x512MB  2.5-3-3-7
2xMaxtor 80GB 7200RPM PATA
PSU Hiper Power HPU-3S350

  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.

    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.

  • MSI P6N SLI Platinum Sound problem

    M using MSI P6N SLI Platinum (MS-7350), i am having problem with sound, i have attached 5.1 sound system all speakers are working fine accept front right, may i know what the problem is ? I've Tried everything thet was possible, Head phone, Speaker Wire, etc. etc.

    What if you switched the speakers around? Does the signal from front right still missing?

  • 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 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).
    regards

  • K8N Neo Platinum sound problem!

    Has anyone had any problems with the on board sound?
    With a basic hardware setup, I get a faint beep every 2 seconds from my 5.1 speakers when in the BIOS screen, and I get noise whenever the RAM is accessed (Corsair TWINX XMS 3200LL has LEDs on the heat shield and the speakers produce noise consistent with the LED activity). There is a low frequency rumbling noise whenever some active content is displayed in internet explorer, even sliding the volume bar on the desktop produces a rumbling sound!!
    I have tried a reinstall with a barebones setup, all defaults in BIOS, but the problem is still there even before windows is installed. I even tried a seperate PCI soundcard, and the problem is still there! MSI say the board is suspect. Am I the first to experience this??

    Hey Southmike,
    I get the same symptoms whether using a sound card or on board sound.  MSI seem to think its a dicky board, also on another forum someone said it was probably the north or southbridge going south (or north!)
    I plan to return the board, I've only had the damn thing 2 days!

  • 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-neo-platinum sounds problem

    heya guys, i have only had this mobo a few days and am very impressed
    i have only one gripe/issue...the onboard sound is supposed to support SPDIF/optical out...now i have a Technics dolby digital/DTS receiver...i have connected the lead to connect the two together.
    now the sound is very low quality and skips a hell of a lot...my amp's signal light keep flicking off as well, now the amp & cable are fine as i have tested them with devices that do work fine (PS2 optical connection 5.1 audio stright away), the mother board
    i am using latest NForce drivers and am using Bios 1.3
    i was really looking forward to using this feature cos my audigy's optical won't even switch on
    any ideas guys?
    thanks

  • Very, very low sound from MSI K8N SLI Platinum

    The sound from my MSI K8N SLI Platinum nForce 4 is so low that i must set the volume control on max and the speakers on max to hear anything. I tried other speakers with the same result. The speakers are amplified.
    What can i do?

    Well for a start you could search the forum as this problem is now well known. I'm not getting at you but I know how frustraing it is wanting someone to respond with an answer, and you don't have to wait if the problem has already been discussed!
    The problem is that MSI decided to specify that the 24 pin supply must have -5v to support the creative chip. This is in contradiction to atx 2.2, and other PSU specs for 24pin supplys, which say the pin in question is NC (no connection).
    What you need is a dual standard 20/24 pin supply.
    Theres is a FAQ about this on the diamond forum, but I'm not sure if unregistered Platinum SLI users can read them anymore!
    According to the FAQ MSI are promising US diamond users the chance to RMA their diamond boards when modified boards whcih don't require the -5v supply are availble. This isn't much use to us european Platinum SLI users.
    I have a Tagan 480w which is dual standard 20/24 pin supply.

  • On-board Sound Blaster seemingly non-existent on K8N SLI Platinum

    Hi,
    I have a K8N SLI Platinum motherboard fitted with an Athlon 64 3500+ processor. My problem is that the on-board Creative Sound Blaster refuses to work. In the BIOS there is no mention of it under 'Intergrated Peripherals' as there should be, and attempts to install the latest drivers (on Windows XP x64) results in the installation program telling me I do not have a Sound Blaster. I have upgraded to the latest BIOS.
    I guess this is an issue with the power supply, since I can see no mention on the box of it providing a -5V supply. Can anyone confirm that the Sound Blaster will start working if I buy a new PSU with a -5V supply.
    Many thanks.

    Check out the pics on this thread. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=81764.0
    If your board has that module then there is another problem. If it does not have it then the powersupply not having the -5v rail is probably the reason.
    Good Luck

  • 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?
