K9AGM2-FIH - HDMI out video problem

Morning all,
Just finished building the new HTPC for the theatre. Have the K9AGM2-FIH board in an antec fusion case, and it was initally hooked up to a Pioneer VSX-AX4AsiS. Found that even though the amp was telling the PC (running Vista Home Premium) that it was capable of taking 1080p at 60 and the video card said it was outputing at that, there was a large black border shown when projected through the DLA-HD1 (which said it was receiving a 1080p signal from amp).
Connecting the PC directly to the projector rectified that problem but in the processing of swapping over I came across the REAL problem. Everytime the projector is powered off or swaps inputs the PC seems to switch off HDMI and wont try turning it on again. Plugged it back into the AMP and exactly the same thing (after having to reboot because I swapped the cables over and PC wasnt outputting via HDMI anymore). Everytime I swapped inputs on the AMP and came back to the 'HDMI in' assigned to the PC there was no signal. Same thing when turning the projector off whilst powering up the PC, if the PC cant talk to its HDMI output device during bootup it never seems to try talking to it again. Changing nothing and touching no cables but simply rebooting with the output device switched on will instantly give the boot screen and then off into Vista it goes...
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and even better would be a fix that they have come across
Thanks muchly,
Sam

I feel your pain with msi boards. Or in that they offer NO tech support. Its like msi is ran by a little 90 year old lady working from her basement, and she cant hobble down the stairs anymore to get to her basement. I have emailed tech suppost often, and other than the auto generated reply, no human ever got back to me.
As for hdmi, hdmi is tricky. Sometimes audio is not even supported thru the hdmi. Depends. But it should be digital if it is.
I dont have that MB , I have the msi K9AGM-FID for two months, but I am also already looking into moving to another mb with better support. The "abit AN M2 nview" has one model, AN M2HD nview that does have hdmi plus vga (dual outs). It looks to be a very nice board. Then they have AN M2 nview that does not have hdmi, but has DVI out and vga (again, dual outs). And both boards have optical digital out. Monoprice.com has a 75-foot digital optical cable for under $20. So for me, I plan on using the DVI to my plasma tv and getting the 75' optical cable to run audio to my home theater receiver. I already have a 50' dvi cable going from this MB to the tv, plus just L+R audio line. You might want to look into the abit AN M2HD nview. Just no reason msi has to be so poorly ran of a company. Its like they are not only poorly ran, its like they go out of their way to irritate customers.

  • K9AGM2-FIH Code 10 Problem

    Hey all,
    I was forced to upgrade my video card and sound card with my K9AGM2-FIH MB.  The video card in the PCI-E works fine, but my Sound Blaster X-FI device is getting "This Device cannot start (code 10)" in Windows XP Pro and Vista x64. I tried both slots, but say result. I know the sound card works, because I swapped it out with a known good spare. Anyone having issues with the PCI bus or know any tricks would help. 
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Do a cmos clear.  It appears that the sound card is not being properly recognized either by the bios or operating system.
    You can also uninstall the sound card in device manager and then reboot the computer to let the bios and operating system find it and install the drivers.

  • Can I use the HDMI Out on my macbook pro retina for audio without connecting a video device?

    While the MBP has TOSLINK output from the headphone jack, TOSLINK does not have the bandwidth to carry the high resolution audio from many blu-rays and DVD-Audio disks. I would like to hook my MBP to an audio-only HDMI sink so I can pipe the multichannel output to my surround speaker setup.
    My concern is that the MBP will get "confused" and do one of the following things - both of which are "bad":
    1) It will decide that a video device is there, and put the desktop on the nonexistent HDMI display OR
    2) It will decide to send no signal at all (no video, no audio) because it sees no video device.
    Any thoughts on this?
    In short - thinking of using something like this: http://www.ambery.com/2hddodtsdihd.html
    with the HDMI out of the MBP and then piping its 6 discrete analog outputs to my old (but excellent for computer speakers) Logitech Z680 setup.
    But I want any movie video to remain unperterbed on my Thunderbolt display. And if I am not watching a movie and am just listening to multichannel FLACs or something, then I'd like to run the media player normally and have the usual desktop on my MBP or Thunderbolt display.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks to all!!

    QUESTION 1: Is there anyway that I can buy a new logic board with upgraded graphics card and it will work?
    Not from Apple, you can go to the grey market if you choose but it is most likely that the only MB that will work is the one you already have.

    Maybe, if the Sonnet is properly Thunderbolt compatible it should.

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • K9AGM2-FIH 1080p via HDMI

    Hello,
    I have baught the K9AGM2-FIH (MS-7237 Version 1.0) to connect it via HDMI to my Samsug LE37M86BD Both are supporting 1080p.
    When I choose at catalyst controlcenter 1920x1080p (progressive mode) the resulition is only 1920x1080i (interlaced mode). I recognize it at the onscreen display of the TV and the flickering when I'm scrolling and on menue soft appearance.
    How do I get the progressive mode enabled!
    Thanks
    Oliver
    PS: 760p is working at progressive mode.
    PS2: I have tried the CCC from the deliverd CD, from the MSI Hompage and the most recent (31.5.07) from ATI. Every time the same result interlaced mode only.

    Wirruna,
    It will be jumpy because the resolution is too high. Your using integrated VGA don't forget.
    this is cleary a driver issue
    did the default windows driver work at 1920x1080?
    what about posting a support request at http://ati.com/support
    http://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBList.asp?folderID=10578
    AMD 690G series clearly says "Supports a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 @ 32bpp"
    meybe try PowerStrip, get that to 1920x1080 @ 50hz

  • Video and hdmi out

    Hi,
    I've made an app for android with images and stagevideo 720p on the background and a graphic layer over like some channels to announce the next program... On my Acer Iconia A500 under ICS the app run fine but on the TV with the hdmi cable  when there's an image on the background it's ok but when it's a video, only the video is visible, all other objects are not displayed.
    I know that all manufacturers do what they want with hdmi out, it's not a part of android but is there a way to display the same image on the TV and on the tablet? How an hdmi out can choose to display only a video ?
    edit...
    After some other tests, the stageVideo object seams to be in front of all the scene and not behind and never and stage.stageVideos[0].attachNetStream(null); has no effect... !
    thanks if someone got some ideas.

    Apple says when both HDMI and component are connected, HDMI will take precedence over component. Short answer: no.

  • I Ipod class wont play TED and other video podcasts.  The genious bar could not figure out the problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.

    My Ipod classic wont play TED, The Grid, Techzilla and other video podcasts (but not all video podcasts).  The genious bar could not figure out the problem. Instead, the Apple store gave me credit towards a new classic, which produced the same problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.  Lastly, I tried restoring the ipod to no avail.  I've heard this is a video codec problem.

  • My sony video camera has HDMI out - can I download direct into MBP using dhmi

    Is it possible to download direct from video camera with HDMI out to Macbook Pro 15" HDMI in.

    HDMI out is only suitable to connect to a display.
    Current Macs do not have raw-Video inputs. Use USB or FireWire.

  • K9AGM2-FIH Display Driver Problems

    I'm trying to update the video drivers on my new K9AGM2-FIH motherboard.  Everytime I try (with either the ones from ati or the ones from msi), the screen goes black right as it finishes.  Then when it reboots, I have to go to previous best settings.  My only display is a tv through s-video.  I assume it's just setting the main display as something else.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • No HDMI out to video display

    I recently received a new MacBook pro 15" and 2 Dell 27" P2714H monitors.  I can run a mini display port to one of the Dell Monitors, but I tried to run an HDMI to DVI Port (not mini DVI) to the other Dell Monitor, no signal...I have 2 displays working(MacBook pro + 1 Monitor).  Is it possible to get the other working?  Should I try HDMI out to DVI?  There is a DVI port on the Dell.
    Thanks

    If your MBP was made before April 2010, there is no audio output from the Mini-Displayport, and you'll need to run a separate audio cable from your headphone port to the TV.

  • Problem creating walk-out videos

    I'm trying to create a walk-out video by exporting from After Effects, using the VP6 codec. Sound didn't export, so I brought a WAVE file into a Flash stage and saved as swf. Brought the swf on a layer in Dreamweaver. The audio is unacceptable. When exported from another codec or directly to flv in AF, the transparency is lost, but the audio plays okay. Obviously, there's a better way to do this, like the website http://www.talkingheads.com/ .
    Here's what I've got so far http://www.cestcop.com/Heads/Mike_3.htm
    Thanks ahead for your help!
    -Mike Carroll

    When exported from another codec or directly to flv in AF, the transparency is lost,
    Make sure you are actualyl enabling Alpha channel usage. aside from that, transparency usage requires proper support in whatever player you use to embed, usualyl by setting variables in the surrounding JS code. Since the performance hit is considerable, it's optional and off by default. Similarly, your audio issues could be just that. Also sounds like you're embedding teh video and audio in the SWF, which is fundamentally evil. Keep them external and stream them to the stage, rather than making the player cringe by enforcing synchronous redraw of the whole SWF...

  • Can I display EyeTV's live TV over HDMI-out and be able to see my desktop using screen-sharing on a headless mac-mini used as a media-box?

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of buying a new mac-mini to replace my current one which acts as an iTunes server and records TV programs using eyeTV. I connect using screen-sharing/VNC to be able to do stuff on it (like handbrake etc.)
    I have eyeTV with a satelite receiver and I want to change the setup so that:
    - the new mac-mini continues to work as an iTunes server (and handbrake workhorse)
    - I can use the HDMI output (inc. audio) to show eyeTV's live TV full-screen app
    - I can connect using screen-sharing/VNC to the mac-mini and see my normal desktop to be able to maintain it etc. but this is a headless display (no screen is connected to the display-port).
    - recorded media I'd play through the appleTV2 still + rentals etc. unless anyone knows if eyeTV software can offer up iTunes content? I don't like the eyeTV recordings in general as it seems very slow to me for access when there are lots of recordings and wouldn't be available in other apleTVs in the house AFAIK.
    The main benefit that this gives me is that I'd no longer need a seperate satelite box to watch live TV and can add more eyeTV hardware to get additional TV channels all through the same HUD on the TV for ease of access.
    Does this seem possible in theory & practice (ie are there any gotcha's to consider?)
    - can I force the HDMI output resolution to 1080i as I go via an amp to the TV and the appleTV2 drops to low-res in this configuration so I have had to find a workaround for that.
    - does the mac-mini have IR input that can be programmed?
    - Does eyeTV software remain stable for long periods?
    - Does the HDMI out have any handshake issues that would need a reset of the display (somehow)?
    thanks in advance for any thoughts/contributions
    Lee

    I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
    With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
    The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
    You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
    The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

  • HDMI Out Graphics Card

    (This is for my friend who's too lazy to create an account)
    My friend just got a Mac Pro (standard specs) and hooked it up to a monitor he just got from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009154
    Since it only has HDMI ports, he has it hooked up through an HDMI to DVI adapter, however there is random flickering here and there (which is probably due to the refresh rate, but there's no option to change it other then the one selected). I'm assuming the graphics card can't interface with the display properly causing this flickering to happen every once in a while. Can you reccomend a Graphics Card that has an HDMI out port on it that's good and not too expensive (around $250 range or below)?
    Thanks.

    I don't think your assumption (that the graphics card can't interface with the display properly) is accurate. HDMI has the same video signals as DVI, and no real conversion is done.
    If you're seeing flickering "once in a while" it is unlikely that it's a problem with the frame rate. I suspect you're seeing a phenomenon other than flickering, like the graphics updating too slowly. If it's flickering due to frame rate issues you'd see it constantly with a white screen. And even then it could still be caused by a bad inverter or even your ambient light source.

  • HDMI Out memory full errors

    Almost every time I go to play my HD videos i recorded via the HDMI out port, i get memory full errors.
    Even when there are no apps running in the background.
    Some times a reboot will help, but not always.
    Is this a bug?

    Hi Kristopher,
    Is the GPIB-ENET connected to a larger network, or is this an isolated network just for the GPIB-ENET? Make sure that other network traffic isn't causing a problem. If you can, try connecting the GPIP-ENET directly to a PC using a crossover cable (be sure to set a static IP address on the PC). This should eliminate the hub or any network traffic as the cause. If the issue is only with one particular device, try to remove the other devices to see if you still have the problem. There shouldn't be a memory leak if all other devices are working properly. Try to isolate the cause by removing devices and steps in the network. Good luck.

  • SCCM 2012 Client and Workstation Audio and Video Problems

    SCCM 2012 SP1 environment.
    We have pushed out the SCCM Client successfully to our systems - however we have found that on some computers the SCCM Client is causing an audio/video problem - specifically it appears to be with computers that connect monitors via DVI.  As an example,
    on my laptop (Dell e6420, Win7 x64) I have a docking station that connects my laptop to 2 external monitors.  With the SCCM Client installed I cannot listen to music or watch videos - the result is an unusable choppiness/stuttering listening to music
    and with a video the audio and video get out of sync.  As well, my mouse no longer functions smoothly - it jumps around.  This happens whether accessing content from a website or simply a local file on my computer.  If I uninstall the SCCM client,
    the issue goes away entirely.  I have tried disabling the SMS and Remote control services but doing so does not resolve the issue, only a client uninstall. Note that this only happens when the laptop is on the docking station - with DVI - it doesn't
    happen when the laptop is running without an external monitor or if plugged into an HDMI output device.
    At first we believed this was limited to this model of laptop in our environment (Win8 or Win7 - both result in the same problem), but now we are hearing about "audio and video issues" on Dell 990 workstations as well.  I believe these stations
    have DVI connected monitors.  Driver updates do not appear to resolve the issue.
    Has anyone experienced this in their environment?  Note that this happens on imaged workstations and workstations installed from a vanilla Windows 7 or 8 CD.

    Try installing the client without Silverlight and see if it helps (this is only used for the Application Catalog).
