KT3 Ultra2 Problems. Baby Steps. Question 1: Volume controls

The volume control window in Windows XP Pro is using the "wave" file volume slider, not my "CDplayer" volume slider. I checked to make sure that I have set the CD-player to use analogue sound. Is this normal?
Lite-on 48X24X48 CDRW
MSI Ultra2 (no raid)
Onboard sound AC97
Fresh clean WinXP install

Just wanted to let you know that I have experienced the same characteristic on a Kt3 Ultra2 and onboard audio.  I have also noticed a similar situation with Windows XP using a Creative SB Live 5.1 on a K7M mobo and a Santa Cruz sound card on an A7V333 mobo.
I will also be interested in finding out how to make a change to enable controlling the audio level on the analogue CD ROM input.  I believe it is a Win XP issue and not an issue with the KT3 Ultra2 onboard audio or its associated driver.

  • KT3 Ultra2 Problem/Question

    Ok, no problem with *NORMAL* working situation.
    AMD AthlonXP 2000+ (P.S. LOCKED)
    KT3 Ultra2-R

    +5v     40A
    +3.3v  30A
    Problem: I cannot change the ratio of the processor, if I did that then the computer won't start without any beep/screen.
    The debug light hung on the IDE detection, but something more weird is before IDE detection there are few more tests need to be pass but it directly going to IDE detection from memory detection. What's wrong?
    I need to clear BIOS to make it start again, even I did try lower my ratio.
    Is that my processor lock cause this?
    Question: Ok, I did search the whole forum, but still cannot find any thread that specified the right divide of FSB/AGP/PCI (Above 133MHz). Does MSI never tell outside how they work on it or what?
    Thanks!  Anything I missed?

    I was able to use my Xp 1600 at the 166 FSB (locked) 166x10.5=1743 Mhz no problem on this board (KT3 Ultra 2).  166 FSB will probably be your sweet spot.
    Here is my Madonion Score (12.5K):
    http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4427245
    I ulocked the chip and have managed 11x166 so far.  Now my PC 2100 memory is probably the holdback.
    Hey Wonka,  what is the highest FSB you've seen somebody clock this board sucessfully at?  Do you think if I get PC 3200 mem I'll be able to go to higher fsb than 170? (this board does not work around the 6x mult. point/ 200FSB it can be adjusted to,  does it?)
    Thanks

  • A few KT3 Ultra2 problems

    Hi, I've been having a few problems with my comp and the last one has made me come looking for answers, so any help would be much appreciated  :D
    System:
       Windows XP Pro
       KT3 Ultra2
       Athlon XP 2200+
       GeForce 4 Ti 4200 (128 MB)
       512 ddr ram
    Problems:
    1) Sometimes my comp will just restart... it seems random.  Once it is restarted, it Windows tells me it has recovered froma serious error.  The Windows tracking tells me it is a device driver, but does not specify which and doesn't show any updates.  I have all the latest drivers installed, and also the Service pack 1.
    2) I recently bought a Sony digital camera which hooks up via the USB.  My comp has no listings for USB in the hardware, and does not recognize the camera.  It doesn't do anything when its plugged in.  The lights on the USB ports are on, and this could just be something stupid on my part... anyways, I heard a lot of other people have had USB problems, so I figured I'd post.
    Thanks much.

    Hi,
    The restarting can happen because a few things.....
    Powersupply too light....
    CPU-cooler mounted wrong....
    Memory failing...
    Harddisk having problems...
    Look in the trouble guide on how to find them....
    As for the USB, remove the USB drivers in the hardware list and let Windows detect them again at the next boot...and/or put the MSI CDrom in there and wait for the menu to appear, can take upto a minute....

  • Kt3 Ultra2, problems with 1700+ Thoro CPU at 166Mhz

    hi,
    Now i have a MSI KT3-Ultra2 mobo rev 1.0 ( 1.0A ) and a AMD XP 1700+ Thoro ( 0.13 ) unloked by defaulf by AMD.
    My DDR is NANYA PC333.
    My bios rev is 5.6
    My CPU is setted at 166x9 and the DDR is not in overclock, but in SPD specifics.
    My bios setting are that one in this help:
    here
    First time with my bad bios settings, during the windows2000 installation, i had a lot of read-cd rom errors, files don't found, found not certificated Ms ecc...
    I changed the bios settings as the giude UP, and i had no more problems during the cd read durind installation, but after that the setup install the network ( 5 or 10 minutes after while finisching windows 2000 installation ) my sistem lock every time    
    why this ? Is the pcb 1.0A not good with fsb at 166Mhz ?
    Please help me....
    i heared that for fsb at 166Mhz i need the PCB 1.0a1 is it true ?

    Hi,
    Your CPU is only 133....
    Overclocking the bus won't work with all 133FSB CPU's....

  • KT3 Ultra2 (problems with raid).

    I have 4 80gb hard drives set up on my pc, and am trying to set them up as plain jbod drives, but the fastbuild utility that creates the arrays wont allow me to do anything besides a 1+0 stripe.  Ive looked around for information on the controller itself (mbfasttrak133 lite), and really cant find anything useful on it at all.  The 1+0 stripe seems to result in 4 80gb hard drives, but ive heard that if one drive fails in this setup, ill lose the info on 2 drives.
    My specs:
    Windows 2k Pro SP4
    4 Seagate 7200 rpm 80gb (ST380021A) drives (2 hard drives on ide1, and 2 hard drives on raid1)
    AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (1.753ghz)
    1024 MB DDRAM
    GeforceFX 5600 256MB

    That could be a problem then, my board just came with the standard kt3 ultra2 manual, and a few cool extras (some kind of cut out), but no manual on raid, and nothing in the kt3 manual about raid beyond a basic description.

  • KT3 Ultra2-CL power suppy question

    Hi,
    In the manual of the KT3 Ultra2-CL (page 2-8) is shown "JWP1" as ATX 12V power connector, used to provide power to the CPU.
    My question: Can I also use a ATX power supply without this 4-pin connector with this board?  ?(
    Jan

    Hi,
    Don't flash a BIOS of another board into yours, it can give strange results....
    As for the specs, they where written at the time of the mobo's development and they can change if newer BIOS'ses surface...

  • KT3 Ultra2 problems...sigh..

    Ok, I game alot.  In Mechwarrior 4 or Diablo 2 or any game really if i so much as even touch the keyboard i lose frame rates.  Not just a few, I lose anywhere from 50 to 100 percent.   I also have to manually kill power to the machine.  A shutdown results in a reboot, everytime.  I even tried reinstalling win 2k without ACPI thinking it might solve the frame rate loss.  Nothing.  I have tried every conceivable bios setting.  Nothing.  
    I have the lastest bios and drivers.  DX 9.(also did it with 8.1)
    I switched from Asus after a motherboard blew but i think i am going to return to them.
    Kt3 Ultra2, XP 1800 , 1gig PC2100, SB Audigy Gamer, Geforce 4 TI 440
    Please, if anyone can help i would much appreciate it.
    Oh, the machine is running cool....never above 46C.

    try a better psu nearer 28a 3.3v and combined over 200 watts with a gf4
    borrow one
    antec over 400 watts a safe bet

  • Clamshell Mode Question - Yosemite - Volume Controls on External Keyboard

    Forum,
    I was wondering if it was possible while in clamshell mode to, instead having to use the remote on the TV to adjust volume controls, but rather use the external board to control the TV's volume controls?
    Obviously when I change the output device to the Macbook Pro the speakers kick on, a lot lower than the TV of course, but the external keyboard picks back up the volume control scroller. Again when I switch it back to the TV the TV speakers kick back on.
    I am using a Macbook Pro (Late 2011) on Yosemite 10.10.1.
    Using a HDMI adapter to connect to the TV, and the keyboard is the Corsair Gaming keyboard.
    Thanks in advance!

    Here is what worked for me.  My scrolling on the mighty mouse and a few buttons on my wireless keyboard weren't working properly.  I reset the SMC, a link explaining the process is below.  Hope it helps you too!

  • KT3 Ultra2 problem

    hi people
    need a bit help here
    just bought this mobo yesterday to prepare for my cpu upgrade soon
    i plugged everything in and it went fine but couldn't install xp until i just left everything in the bios at default
    turned off my computer for a bit then i left and came back after about a hour to find out it wouldn't even post
    the lights on the usb ports shows 1-2 red and 3-4 green
    which means initializing hd controller
    i unplugged everything and went bare bone (including putting in only 1 ram chip) but still 2 red and 2 green lights
    i have an AMD XP 1600+, msi gf4 4400, (1) crucial 256 pc 2100, (1) generic 128mb pc2100, (1) 512 generic pc2100, 80gb Maxtor HD (can't remember exact model), 3com NIC (can't remember model), A3D vortex2 sound card (diamond...yea i know it's old), 12x iomega cd burner, 16x pioneer dvd drive, very old teac floppy (but works just like new)
    well i'm off to work right now
    anything else you need to know i'll try to answer when i get back from work (6pm pst)

    I'm in the process of building 2 pretty much exact duplicate systems for my friend. One for him and one for his brother.
    My friends system has the following setup:
    KT333 Ultra2 (Raid ver)
    2x256MB DDR333 Kingmax
    1700+ XP
    ThermalTake Volcano 9 (Tempature sensor installed)
    ATI Radeon 7500 All-In-Wonder
    Seagate 60GB UDMA133
    LG DVD/CD-RW Combo 32x12x40
    Enermax 350W PS Dual Fan
    I put together his system without any problems and booted it first time. His brothers system contains the exact same parts except the Video card is a Geforce 4 MX440 and the store only had 2 Kingmax sticks so we had to opt for the Generic Apacer DDR333 256 sticks. After going through the building of the 2nd system is plugged it in a tried to boot it, right away the same problem as mentioned in this thread. LEDs showed 1-2 red and 3-4 Green.
    So, first simple step, clear the CMOS via jumper and battery removal, no change.
    So maybe it was the different RAM sticks, so i swapped them out of the first system and put them in this one, no go same LEDs. Also tried it with just one ram stick and moved it to every slot, same results.
    So then figured possibly the video card, took out the mx440 and put in the AIW7500, same deal.
    So then since the LEDs indicated the IDE initialization I tried a different HD as well as no devices, same stuff.
    Is the board fubar? Its obviously not a compatibility issue since i've got one system up and running with no problems using the same hardware. I can't seem to see anything that would cause this problem that would show up on one system and not the other.
    Only other possibility is the CPU, and I'm not super experienced (This is my first time..  ?(  ) with putting on the thermal compound, I used the silver grease, which i'm starting to think was a bad idea. So I removed the Heatsink and fan and gonna wipe the dye and surface clean (with Isopropyl Alcohol of course) and see if that was the problem. Any advice is MUCHO appreciated. I can be reached on MSN via [email protected]

  • KT3 Ultra2 Power Supply Fan Question

    What is the connector PSFAN1 used for? I thought the Power Supply Fan comes on when you turn on the computer. Seems strange that you would have to route the power through the motherboard....I am sorry for the newbie question. I do have a newer Enermax case that seems to have the correct connector coming from the wiring harness out of the power supply. Do I plug that wire onto the PSFAN1 connector?
    Dan

    Yeah, you will be fine if your plug it in. I have an enermax as well and it is plugged into my mobo and all is well. There is usually a fan in the bottom of the power supply (facing the cpu) and another on the back. The one in the bottom sucks air away from the cpu and the one in the back sucks the air out. You may want to look and see if there is a fan control on the back of the power supply as some let you control the speed of the out blowing fan. Oh, by the way, I just saw that they have three fan power supplies now!

  • New KT3 Ultra2 problem

    I just got a new KT3, cause my old shuttle burnt up.  I hooked every thing up, and no POST,  OK, so i check the d-bracket to see what the lights say.  This is where i get confused, the lights that come on dont seem to corespond to the ones listed in the manual at all....The first one that comes up is 2red, 2green(Initializing HD controller)  After that it goes through 3 more random lights and hangs on "Memory Detection Test" (which should be 3rd and not 4th)  So at first I thought my ram burnt up with the mobo(which is possible, I know of no one else with DDR to test with).  One more strange thing, when no ram is installed, it gives the 3 long beeps; when ram is installed, no beeps....sorry for the long post, but any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks so much

     :P
    Hi,
    Have you tried resetting your CMOS back to default settings via the jumper on the m'board? I know this sounds a bit inane but you need to know that your system is starting from it's base settings before you try anything else.
    Also, we really do need to see your system spec's in order to assist us with providing you with more relevant and potentially more accurate information. Hear from you soon and all the best,
    Dimal.

  • Kt3 ultra2 unstable in win98 se

    i've been using this mobo for almost half a year now, and i noticed that it has become unstable under windows 98 se (my system is dual booted with win xp pro)
    during xp sessions, i don't have problems... everything runs well but not in win 98 se.
    does anyone here have an experience with kt3 ultra2 problems with win98 se?
    by the way, all my drivers are the latest - from video card downto mobo chipsets
     ?(

    is that so... ok...
    the instability occurs only when i setup my pc as a dual os system (winxp pro and 98se)
    if 98se is left alone in my system... its completely stable...  :] but not good for gaming.  :(
    so it simply means that my mobo is not the culprit... did i get it right?  ?(

  • Is anyone experiencing volume control problems after update to OS 4

    When I adjust the volume via the side buttons, it doesn't change the volume. The volume buttons shows up as I'm adjusting it, but there isn't any real change.
    I go into settings-->sound, and the volume is still in the same position (as if I didn't adjust anything), and if I wanted to hear any real changes, it'd have to be done in here.

    I haven't experienced those problems... My only problem has been with the volume controls. I tried playing music, and wasn't able to control the volume with the side buttons as well. I have to adjust it on the screen, which has become quite a nuisance for me. So basically my side volume buttons are useless as of the update to the new OS.

  • Why doesn't the volume control settings allow a greater range (on the low end)?

    Maybe my ears are really sensitive, but for every iphone I've had, the lowest volume is not low enough.  My phone is often louder than I want in my headphones even at the lowest setting.  I find myself trying to lower the volume but ending up in silence.  After putting it back up to the lowest setting, I end up clicking down again a few minutes later because it's too loud for my surroundings and situation.  It's a huge volume jump from the lowest setting to completely off, and alot of times the lowest setting is too loud (even with normal buds or headphones).
    The volume limiter setting only limits the upper end, but doesn't change the lower end (just makes the 16 set increments smaller in that reduced range).  I know there is also an option to turn down the volume of individual songs in iTunes options, but this problem applies to all aspects of the iphone beyond just my music library (Music apps, Videos, etc.).
    Why hasn't apple expanded the lower volume limits?  There has to be a way, or is this not possible?  Can anybody think of a way to fix this problem?

    Look for headsets with a volume control.
    I did exactly this for awhile.  I used to have Skullcandy Asyms with the inline volume attenuator (wheel).  They've since discontinued them, and my 5 pairs are having wire connectivity issues.  All their current models have iphone like volume mechanisms.  The problem is most headphones with volume controls tap into the phones own volume control (so the set 16 volume increments).  I also looked into using a dongle attenuator, but having the dongle hanging off the phone is just awkward and not easily adjustable.
    I don't know why there can't be some form of internal attenuator option, or some other way of extending the lower range of volume.
    Does anyone else have this problem of the iPhone being too loud in semi-quiet environments?
