Kt3 ultra no sound

  I JUST BOUGHT A KT3 ULTRA 6380E SERIES MOTHERBOARD AND AN AMD XP 2000 NO PROBLEMS WITH BOOTING UP BUT AFTER I INSTALLED ALL DRIVERS I, I HAVE NO PREFERRED PLAYBACK DEVICES FOR SOUND. SPEAKERS ARE PLUGED IN RIGHT AND IN THE RIGHT JACK. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. CAN ANYONE HELP ME. I HAVE ALSO USED STANDOFFS ON THE BOARD TOO! X(  ;(

Maybe you would like to try some of Micro$oft Win updates... it sometimes help, but before that double check everything in the System Hardware, check also for conflicts
You don't say what Win version you have...

  • KT3-Ultra Onboard Sound Card

    Does the KT3-ultra's onboard sound card support eax
    or dolby surround? Cos I can't seem to get any games
    to use the left/right rear speakers at all.
    Such games include warcraft 3 and counterstrike.
    Running the latest drivers from avance, and using
    windows 2000 Professional.

    Thanks for the speedy reply guys.
    What the question initially intended to ask was if
    the onboard sound card allowed me to play games
    with full surround sound support using eax/dolby.
    I assume the answer to this question is no.
    With regards to playing DVDs, yes I can get the 6
    channel sound, and the speaker test in the tray
    confirms this.
    But as I don't really watch DVDs on my computer,
    and use it more for games and work, I assume I
    have to get a SB Live or some sort to actually get
    eax/dolby support within games. Is this correct?
    Thanks again.

  • Kt3 ultra onboard sound microphone fix

    Was there ever a fix for the kt3 onboard sound microphone problem. I have trawled through the forums for an hour now and all I can find is complaints and no fixes?
    Can someone point me in the direction of the fix if there is one!

  • MSI kt3 ultra aru sound problems

    i have this board (kt3 ultra aru) and i can't make the center/sub outputs on the audio bracket to work.
    the rear outputs are ok, but center/sub... dead. I only have that channels when I don't use the bracket.
    Is my bracket damaged? or maybe a software related issue?

    Why not try to reinstal drivers and check for new ones if any  )

  • KT3 ultra Onboard sound card has no sound on right channel. help me...

       oh my god.. i tried everything after i took out my sound blaster from Win2k.....
    i installed all the drivers that i have... restore computer from 2k to 98 back to 2k.....checked all BIOS and cables.... used differrent video card... i spent 2 days... and it still has no sound on the right channel
    i tried 4 channel, the back works fine(both channel works) but the front only has left audio....
    i really need help!
    please... thanks    X(  X(  X(  ?(  :O

    ok.. i know what know..
    most likely is the connector, cuz i play a mp3 and record with wave the same time and i burn that audio to Cd and i listened to it in my cd-player, both side were working. so it's the connector.. i guess
    so where i can get this fix with my wanrranty?

  • Cannot get sound to work kt3 ultra 2c

    Hello- I reformatted and installed windows 98 on a friends comp with an ultra 2c ms 6593-it has ac97 sound.  I installed the latest vid drivers for his card and dx9..and then i tried to install the sound drivers from the cd and for some reason the cd doesn't go through an auto set up. i can't even install the sound drivers manually. I went into the bios and it said ac97 was enabled.But there is nothing in windows that shows any sound.the computers sound worked before he crashed it and i reinstalled..i was running out of time so i couldnt look into it further.. is it possible that installing dx9 before the sound drivers could have screwed something up?.. or was something in the bios changed that i am not aware of. He crashed the comp when he tried to put in a modem that might not have been compatable..and i may have changed something when I went into the bios to try and get into safe mode to retrieve some files..
    ac97 says 'enabled' in bios but i can't remember if it was highlighted-(changeable)
    anyway- im not that experienced in this stuff..any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
    THARN
    this system also hangs on startup-doesnt get past 3 grn lights on the back bracket- it starts though if reset is pushed..that doesnt seem good to me.
    the system specs as far as i know are:
    msi kt3 ultra 2c(via 333) athlon 1800
    win98/265 mb  ac97 onboard sound
    nvidiage2-64mb card

    Thanks-Hansh
    I'm thinking the same thing but the problem is-it's not my computer and my friend said he doesnt want me to re format and redo everything-but there may be no other choice..deep down i think it has everything to do with installing directx9 before the sound drivers...(my mistake -doh)..im going over there today to try everything short of reformat.. ive been reading this entire site and appreciate evryones input from past posts...helps mediocre' compgeeks like me.
    THARN
    btw- win 98 was installed- heres the story. win 98 was installed- sound was working vid was working. I transplanted his old modem from his other comp and the connection was slow-was an old v90 and probably not in good shape anyway. so we ordered a new modem and it had an intel chip-(when the drivers were installed-fatal exception to the 100th degree..)so i reformatted and reinstalled everything for him.got a new modem that said amd copatible-everything works except sound..prolly because of the order i put in drivers..gonna see soon enough.

  • Sound problems with KT3 ultra

    Hello All
    I have a KT3 Ultra, WinXP Pro, LG CD-RW (HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B ), 512 Mb DDR Ram etc.
    My problem is that when i rip cd's to MP3 i lose all sound. This has happened with Easy CD-DA and Exact Audio Copy.
    If I go into AC'97 Audio config all speakers seem to work exept the Front Left and Right. But this seems to stop them all from playing any audio.
    Reinstalling AC'97 fixes it but it's a bit annoying.
    Audio driver : 5.10.0.3840
    Audio controller : VIA 3059
    AC97 Codec : ALC650
    Any help appreciated

    I think i solved it by installing the 5.10.0.4050 drivers.

  • KT3 Ultra ARU PC hangs

    Hi there.
    I have a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU motherboard, AMD XP 2600+, 2x 256 MB Apacher DDR 333 and a Radeon 9700 Pro card. Yesterday I changed CPU from Thunderbird 1.4 to XP 2600+. I had some memory problems with one of the apacher modules, but everything worked fine afterwards. I must say my computer including the OS (WinXP Pro) has been realy stable up to now, and I have never seen this kind of a hang before.
    I was burning a CD (in 4x) while watching a .avi file and the computer hangs. It did not hang fully at the start. First hang nero, then some other programs, then startmeny and desktop, and then the mouse. PC speaker was making a constant bip the whole time until I restarted...
    The system booted up, but I was wondering what it could be? I have some feeling it may be a memory problem, and will check that later on, but that will take some time. I hope someone here knows what to doo, and help me solve this problem.
    Everyone where I am from tells me to buy intel becouse they say AMD is not as stable as intel. I dont think intel is bether than AMD, and my old Thunderbird was rockstable even at 1636 MHz, overclocked by multiplier.

    Hi DataFMT,
    Thanks!
    You should see my IRQ's, I tried to get them all on a single one :D
    It doesn't matter if they are shared or not.
    But the trouble is, the APIC does try to seperate them for the CPU's (Yes CPU's) as it's Multi-CPU specification and designed to seperate them in order to let the appropriate CPU handle the IRQ instead of all off them at the same time.
    On a single CPU system this is stupid to use as the CPU needs to respond to every IRQ anyway.
    Microsoft gas gone totaly nuts on this matter and their article about the APIC is as stupid as it can be.
    They are mixing all sorts of (A)Pic's without knowing what they are doing.
    Ever wondered why Multi-CPU systems are so hard to get stable when the need for high-load is there?
    Every system today has multiple PIC (programmable IRQ controller).
    The first old one is called PIC, that one needs to be programmed for every IRQ and has a hard time on IRQ sharing and the OS needs to program it, when you use Standard-PC, that's the one you use.
    Not a good one to use as it slows the system down.
    So far Microsoft is right.
    The next one is the Local-APIC (A=Advanced), this one can share IRQ's without problems and sort of programs itself, ergo, you can't change IRQ's, and there is no need to do so anyway.
    This one is used when you enable ACPI and use ACPI-compliant-system.
    It's fast, stable and very OS/driver friendly.
    Then you have the I/O APIC, in the chipset, that one is the APIC/MPS the BIOS setting controls.
    MS screws up here big time, this one translates the real IRQ's into addresses and feeds them to the CPU PIC or Local-APIC, depend if ACPI is enabled or not.
    This one is a trouble maker, because the translation isn't needed for a single CPU system and not all drivers like it's behavior.
    Another thing is that it needs to buffer a lot, and when driving your system to the limits it can jump IRQ signals because the servicing of them can be a bit behind.
    This looks like the system is faster, but a jump can cause a lot of trouble.
    Good samples of this happening are running too fast/slow system clock in WinNT/2000/XP when you have a heavy load.
    Do a search in google and you see plenty examples.
    Another good example of this is caused by Norton, that can disturb the sound when Apic is used.
    I have discussed with MSI why APIC was turned on by default, they said it was stupid, but the PC-2001 spec requires this....and guess who wrote the spec???? :D
    I have also seen that a lot of other Mobo makers are starting to turn the APIC off by default and let you run with the Local-Apic by default.
    A far better choice if you ask me, but then who asks me??? :P

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU 5.7 BIOS and SoudBlaster Cards - Audigy

    I have flashed my BIOS to 5.7 Version and my sound card start to make a lot of noise (crackling) when play AC3 or DVD. If you dont want to use the new AMD CPU 333 FSB you dont need to flash the BIOS - I have Flashed to 5.6 again but, if you want to use a 333 FSB CPU you can flash the BIOS to version 5.7 and if have sound problems use the PCI latency patch for VIA chipsets.
    VIA chipset MotherBoard owners who have through all of the above and still have sound problems with their Soundblaster cards, might want to look into the PCI latency patch for VIA chipsets - get it here:
    http://www.georgebreese.com/net/software/
    (scroll down the page there just a little to get to it).
    There's also a similar page about resolving sound problems on Via chipset based computers here:

    Creative WebCam Go
    UPS 500 VA
    Monitor Sony 19" E400E

    Since my chip is an unlocked, I cannot easily run it at the default, but I can underclock it. At 100x6.0=600mhz, USB does not work, as well as 100x12.5. Same with 133x6.0 and 133x12.5. It appears to make no difference underclocking or overclocking.
    I downloaded the right BIOS listed on MSI's KT3 Ultra-ARU page. I don't think the BIOSes are different anyway, since the same files, changelog, and etc are also listed for the Ultra-2 board.
    A thing to note, that this is the onboard VIA-controller USB ports doing this. My Ultra-ARU's NEC-controller USB 2.0 ports work fine in both Win2k and Linux if I hook my mouse and keyboard up in those. This is not an ideal solution for me though.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU with GeForce 4 Ti 4200

    Umm...
    My PC keep freezing when I play a 3D Game like Warcraft III, GTA 3 or Neverwinter Nigths.
    Sometimes it's freezing after 2 mins, sometimes I can play like a half hour.
    When it's freezed, Windows don't work either so the whole comp is messed up then .. and I have to reboot him.
    I post this here cuz I heard that those new GeForce Cards have some compatibilty probs with mainboards ...

    And the Software:
    I've updated all the software drivers so I've got the newest and I'm currently runnign Win2k SP3 with almost every patch installed on it.
    And finally the problem:
    When I've hook my WD2000JB to the on-board raid everything seems to be working normaly. The bios finds the drive and makes a new array. Win2k boots up and finds the drive and I can create an partition. But when I've try to format it it the computer starts to freeze for a while and then acts like normal again. The HDD-led blinks as it should during the "normal" time, but when the comp. freezes it stops blinking. The formatation stops at 7% and the HDD-led stops lighting. I don't get an error eventhough it was several hours since it stoped. And the formatation takes like 30min for 1%.
    When I connect the WD2000JB to the IDE3 I can format it and it acts just like normal. I even did a full system test with the System tool found on Western Digitals support site and it didn't find any errors. But when move it to the raid-IDE the errors return. I've get Error reading / writing to disk and when I've did a chkdsk I've got the "Coudn't use Device) so I did a scandisk and it found very very many errors so it completly ereased everything that was on it.
    And when I've run Western Digitals program again i've get an error (Disk error read/writing) error code: 0113.
    Can it be that the Western Disk doesn't work well with Raid? I've haven't heard anything about that, so...

    I've had similar problems where my system becomes very unstable at higher bus speeds. Installing Windows XP simply didn't work very good. However, I have ordered a new PSU today as a solution to this problem. Basically, CPUs and video cards are much more demanding and the more devices you have in your computer the more power you're going to need. I recommend purchasing the Enermax EG465P-VE (FCA) 450W ATX PS. It has a higher amperage rating and will most likely solve your problem.

  • MSI - KT3 Ultra-ARU Raid + XP

    Hi,
    I have just built a new system using the MSI - KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard and am having issues instaling Windows XP professional.
    The system has been set with 2 Maxtor HD on Raid 0 Stipping.
    On installing Windows XP and Raid Driver 2.0 that comes with the board, XP continues to load the files needed for setup, while in this process it will have a read/copy error. As much as you retry it will not read. This happens on different files each time I try to install and is not a bad CD.
    Any suggestions ?
