K9N2 Diamond and Xtreme Audio Card

The sound card that came with this board came with a driver/program CD. I've followed directions and ran the installation, but when I click on the Audio Console Launcher to configure it, I get a warning that, "The current selected audio device is not supported by the application. Do you want to select another audio device now?"
If I click "NO"...thats it.
If I click "YES", I get another warning saying, "The Creative Audio Device Selection module cannot be launched. The module may be missing from your system. You may need to reinstall your application."
If I run the CD again, to reinstall the so-called module, I still run into the same problem.
The problem really is I can't use my headset w/mic for online gaming. Headset shows up in the Playback Devices but there is no "configure" option--greyed out.
What seems to be the malfunction?

I think he have eaxtly same probelm some i has whit the sound card .
Sound card dirver on msi webpage and on the cd wont install the dirver untill he use
the Firmware thing i got form you BOSSKILLER.
After i used it it just work perfectly whit out makeing any problem i dont know if he have the same problem showing in device manager to if so then updateing x-fi Firmware will help him.
WickedHorse chek out your Device manager and my old topic ( https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120044.0 )and give more info if you have the same probelm.

X-fi Xtreme Audio card Digital I/O in Windows Vi

Hallo,?Recently I bought an X-fi Xtreme Audio card and installed it in a PC using both Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista. The card has to work connected to a Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5700 external decoder. I installed the card and used it with no problems under windows XP SP2.
In order to connect the card with the external decoder I had to check an option "Digital Output only" in Entertainment Mode - Speakers and headphones section. Now, on the same computer, I'm trying to use the card with Windows Vista.
The system recognize the card and I was able to install software and driver for the card (driver version is .4.65 as "Creative System Information" application reported). If I connect an headphone to Line Out connector I can hear music playing.But I cannot select Digital I/O output.
In Vista, Entertainment Mode hasn't any checkbox to allow "Digital Output only" to work.
So I don't have any idea on how select Digital I/O output. Anyone can help me?Thank you in advance.

Hi?I had the same problem, and here is the solution. ) Make sure u download the latest drivers for Vista. 2) After the installation u can goto the Control Panel> Sound Settings?You will see that there is 2devices listed. st is the Speakers configuration2nd there is the SPDIF configuration. Alter first the Speakers configuration to ur needs, enable the Digital out! > make sure u never select a frequency above 48khzAlter the SPDIF settings and test the sample rates that is given on the screen sothat u know what works with the card and not. If there are any problems leave the settings i gave exactly as instructed, and then goto urAudio Console and check there is a headphone settings and disable them. Try again thereafter!?Good Luck!Marvin?IT & Audio Specialist

Problem with SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card Installat

I just completed installation of my X-Fi Xtreme Audio card for PCI express slot. I followed instructions and cancelled the prompt for audio drivers (by the hardware wizard) and installed via the Creative Labs CD. The installation went well and the card appears to be
functioning normally. My problem is that whenever I boot up the computer, the hardware wizard keeps discovering my card as new hardware and prompting me for a driver. I have been cancelling each time, but the last time I put in the CD, and had it search for the driver in the Audio/Drivers/driver/WinXP/bin, but it didn't seem to be able to locate the driver to satisfy itself.
What should I do (besides turning off the hardware wizard) to end this cycle of "new hardware found" episodes every time I boot.
I hope that someone can help with this.
ps: I would have liked to speak briefly with a Creative Tech Support person, but they seem to have conveniently left any telephone contact numbers off of their website, so I must depend on your help. Thanks.

Hi,
Please check the "Support" folder on your installation CD for Customer Support contact details.

X-fi Xtreme Audio card problems!

Hi!?I bought a X-fi Xtreme Audio card today. installed, and now I get a big fps drop in Battlefield 2, first of all I cant enable Creative X-fi in the Audio tap under options in the game, it says the card does not supoort bla bla bla, if I chose to use Hardware I cant play the game due to extreme lag, with normal software, same settings I used with my onboard card, Realtek AC 97, I still got big fps drop... What is this **bleep**?Hey I want my money back, this **bleep** is useless... or is there some sort of fix? or is my card complete garbage?kind regards from an angry customer?//Stripflash

First, please refrain from using profanity on the forums: it is against the rules.
Next, it sounds like something definately isn't working right, as the X-fi shouldn't drag down your framerate at all. I would start off with a "cleansweep" uninstall/reinstall. On this website, click "Support" then KnowledgeBase, and in the searchbox type "SID72."
Let us know how it goes!
Good luck,
Dale

K9N2 Diamond and Radeon HD 4890 Crossfire

Hey guys. Just your general noob question here. My mobo is a K9N2 Diamond SLI. It has support for 3-way SLI and as far as I can tell, the Nvida based chipsets don't support Radeon XFire. I was just wondering, though, does the board support the use of, say, a Radeon HD 4870x2 card? I was hoping maybe it would since it's one card with 2 onboard GPUs, but just wanted to make sure it does. I'm using an Nvidia GPU right now, but I've always like the ATIs better.

OK, this is back to what Bas said. He informed me that Crossfire works on any board. I've installed two 4890s on my K9N2 Diamond and connected the appropriate power connectors and crossfire ribbons. When my computer loads up, it sees both cards, but it does not recognize it as crossfire. Neither does CCC. Is it possible that the K9N2 won't run Crossfire setups (I mean, it is an SLI board and not AMD).

No sound and no audio card in device manager

Hello!
I have a HP Pavilion dv6710ea and my operating system is 32-bit Windows Vista SP2. Quite some time ago my optical CD/DVD drive stopped working. It simply disappeared from My Computer and the Device Manager. I've tried all the suggested fixes I found on this forum but none of them worked. But I didn't need the drive that much anyway, so after some struggle I just gave up on this issue.
And now another such thing happened. Suddenly, I lost sound and when I hovered my mouse pointer over the sound icon at the taskbar, a pop-up showed saying "No Audio Output device is installed.". I checked the device manager, and my audio card was gone! Any attempts to detect it failed. I restored the system to the point before the problem occured, but it did not help. I tried to install the new audio drivers, but the installation failed, because the device could not have been found. Now I don't know what else can be done to try to fix this. I certainly hope it is not related with hardware failure of some kind.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this issue.

Hi,
Reset BIOS to defaults
Restart the PC, as you see initial POST Screen on the Monitor, start pressing F10 to access BIOS< press f5, select Yes, and Press f10 to save and exit.
Download and install Audio Driver.
Thank You.

X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card not work

Hello, in my first time building a computer, I've had problems that have been solved via various forums, and I'm finally at my last problem that I need to fix. I got an X-Fi extreme audio card that isn't working properly. I know that the card isn't broken or inserted improperly, as when I test the speakers through the card (I'm using the green analog cable, plugged into the card), it works nicely. However, when I try to listen to anything else, like music, youtube, etc, I can only get sound (occasionally) through the headphone jack, which makes things sound really strange through the speakers. When I try to put headphones in (the headphone jack), they don't make any sound. Does anyone know a solution to this? I've tried going through all the settings, turning the mobo's onboard audio controller on and off, and many other things. I'm using a Abit IN9 32X MAX motherboard, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio VARPAK 7. Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card?and 32-bit Vista.

Today you're lucky, i also have an MSI XFI Audio but it's PCIe, if your card is PCIe, here is the CD:This CD is from a user named NUJA, http://nuja.free.fr/SBXAudioPCIe.rar , contain : CREATIVE_ALCHEMY_X-FI .00.07
Audio Console 2.40.2
Console Launcher 2.30.32
Creative Volume Panel 2.0.80
driver din 03/04/2008,6.0.0.20
This CD is better then CD from MSI, it has newer application and drivers.

K9N2 Diamond and Sata ports 5&6

This is on a K9N2 Diamond MOBO
So I installed 2 SSD drives in my computer. I also have a Blu-Ray drive and 2 HDDs. I've installed the SSDs to SATA ports 1&2 and my HDDs to 3&4. My Blu-Ray drive is on SATA port 5. In this configuration the Blu-Ray drive doesn't show up. If I swap it with one of the HDDs, My 2 SSDs, Blu-Ray and one HDD show up, but the second HDD does not.
How can I get all of the components to show, or are SATA ports 5&6 there just to say you have them? Thank you in advance.

Think I read this FAQ before, but it was too long and complicated to my eyes:
The Southbridge of this motherboard (ICH6)could support 1 IDE channel and 4SATA interface. There are three items about SATA devices settings in BIOS Setup (Integrated peripherals->SATA Devices Configuration):
a.Combined: The mode is a traditional mode which contains 2 IDE channel combined by one IDE channel and 2 SATA interface, and could connect 4 devices. If you choose this item, you could get other two items: PATA IDE Mode & SATA IDE Mode, PATA IDE Mode is used to set IDE as primary/secondary channel, and the SATA as secondary/primary channel automatically. It’s mentioned that if you choose PATA as the primary channel, SATA3&SATA4 will be as secondary, if you set PATA as secondary channel, SATA1&SATA2 will be used as primary channel. If you choose combined mode, you’ll get 2 IDE channels in Standard CMOS Features:
Primary IDE Master
Primary IDE Slave
Secondary IDE Master
Secondary IDE Slave
b.Enhanced: Choose this mode, you could use 1 PATA and 4 SATA, which could connect 6 devices, and you’ll get 4 IDE channels in Standard CMOS Features:
Primary IDE Master
Primary IDE Slave
Secondary IDE Master
Secondary IDE Slave
Third IDE Master
Third IDE Slave
Fourth IDE Master
Fourth IDE Slave
Indeed we could just use 3 channels of them, (the secondary channel has canceled according to the Intel spec), the primary channel is the IDE channel, the third and the forth channel are bridged by SATA.
c.SATA: It’s the mode shield the IDE, and just use the 4 SATA. Choose this mode, in Standard CMOS Feature, you’ll get 2 IDE channels:
Primary IDE Master
Primary IDE Slave
Secondary IDE Master
Secondary IDE Slave

P7N Diamond & X-Fi Audio card - awful sound.

Has anyone else had major problems with this addon PCI-e card on the P7N diamond? All the drivers install fine and I have the latest patch from the MSI website (Creative don't even provide drivers at all) but I get jittery audio in everything from logging on, to watching a movie/listening to an MP3 and even playing games.
It will be OK for a short time then the audio will come through all jittery and stuttering for a while and repeat.
Anybody have a fix for this, have tried loads of stuff - disabling the X-Fi extra features, lowering hardware acceleration and no difference. I have all the programs from the CD installed and the latest driver from MSI website. I'm using the 9.46 780i chipset drivers, without MediaShield if that makes any difference at all.
Please help, this feels like a downgrade from my Audigy 2 ZS of a few years ago. :(

Have you done a new fresh installation?
Latest DX installed?(https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114542.0), January 2008
Sound HW acceleration at full?
Does the sound shuttering happend with specified game or?
Can you try those drivers ==> X-Fi series XP Beta Driver(9 Jan 08) http://files2.europe.creative.com/manualdn/Drivers/AVP/10469/0xE545059D/SBXF_PCDVRBETA_LB_2_14_0001.exe
Those drivers say that there isn't a supported device installed in the system, I've installed that DirectX pack you linked me to but no change unfortunatley - I kind of doubted it would change anything anyways since this XP has every update upto February 2008 installed from the CD already. Hardware acceleration is on full right now yes. I am going to try uninstalling everything and moving it to a PCI-e x16 slot and reinstalling to see if that makes a difference now.

MSI K9N2 Diamond and SSD OCZ Vertex 3

Hello all,
I bought an OCZ SSD Drive Vertex 3 80GB and installed it on my system. I also have 2 WD Caviar Black HDDs /1TB/ running with NVIDIA Stripe, where my OS is, and 2 other hdds. After I installed the SSD drive and rebooted the system the nvidia raid controller froze. It displays the 'Detecting disk drives' or something like that meesage and freezes there. When I disconnect the SSD drive and reboot - it detects everything and boots normally again.
If I hot-plug is while running my OS, the SSD gets detected and works fine. But this doesn't work for me, because eveytime I reboot the PC, I must disconnect the drive... more, I wanted to install my OS there and if it doesn't get detected at reboot... it wont work. Any ideas?

Never mind that, I changed the RAID mode to IDE (it was SATA, didn't work, AHCI didn't work either). But now it's ok!

K9N2 Diamond and Memory timing configuration

Hi, were can I find info about the Memory timings thats possible to configure in the BIOS CELL menu ?
The memory installed is the CORSAIR Dominator PC8500C5D mem sticks.
the four familiar timings, CAS tRCD tRP and tRAS is O.K. ofcourse since they are printed on the memory stick one buy's .
But the other timings:
tRTP
tRC
tWR
tRRD
tWTR
tRFC0
tRFC1
tRFC2
tRFC3
Is there a document somewhere to read about these ?
also has anyone used the "SLI-READY Memory" option with any succes ?
after I enable the SLI READY Memory the motherbord fails to boot until i reset the CMOS.
Regards
//Lars

Leave them to Auto.
You can more detailed SPD report for your memory sticks with Everest {Everest Ultimate Edition 4.50.1448 Beta, 2008-07-21 latest one}

K9N2 Diamond and Memory voltage ?

The default voltage on my DIMMS seems to be 1.9 volts.
This from info from the MSI overclocking utlity.
Presently the machine is stable at 800 Mhz Dimm Clock.
But it is unstable at 1066 Mhz Dimm Clock.
Corsair , the memory vendor, says that the TwinX4096-8500CD DIMMS
needs 2.1 Volts to run at 1066 Mhz .
The BIOS entries in the CELL menu for Voltages is Grayed out.
Is there any arcane knowledge needed to get at the Voltage setting.
Regards
//Lars

Thanks,
Well it seems to much better at 1066 Mhz with 2.1 volts on the dimms. , used to crash within minutes, but does'nt do that now.

You can adjust values with +/- Num Pad keys or "PageUp"/"PageDown", its written in your manual too:
