KT4V OnBoard sound (ac97)

Hi all,
I've been trying to install a hercules fortissimo3 soundcard in a KT4V Mobo.
I disable the onboard sound in the bios and try to install the F3 card but the puter locks up. When I reboot into safe mode I see that windows has installed gobs of stuff into Sound, Video and game controllers in Device Manager.
I'm assuming that the onboard sound is causing a conflict. Is there a jumper to disable this? Or is it done strictly through the BIOS?
If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them...
Thanks!
Mike

the sound disables by the BIOS alone... try putting your Sound Card in slot 4 and specify IRQ 4. Sounds like you have a hardware conflict.

KT4V onboard sound problems (alot)

hello,
just recieved a KT4V MSI motherboard today, installed it ok, turned on onbaord sound, downloaded latest onboard drivers and configured it for 4 speakers and a microphone socket. I open half life up and only the front 2 speakers work, i exit HL and look at the settings and its changed it back to 2 channels (although it still says 4 channel it changes rear to line in) Operation Flashpoint also only runs on 2 speakers, i know both these games support surround sound as i used to have a SBlive5.1 which worked ok with them.
Also when playing music the rear speakers work but sound low quality.
Please please help me with this
thank you
tim

I have the same problem with my KT4VL. The front 2 speakers are loud as normal, but the rear speakers make almost no noise. I have a 4.1 ch speaker system and use the AC97 onboard in 4 ch mode(with the software set to convert the Line in port to rear). The subwoofer is fine no matter what, just the rear. When the MOBO is set to 2 ch stereo, sound comes from all speakers but the surround is lost as it just splites the stereo. I do not have a clue as to solve the problem and want to very much.
This is my thread on the subject so far: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/service/forum/index.php?threadid=19536&boardid=13&styleid=1&sid=bf5e069916a52f2877c4dc62f0685329&page=1#8
Maybe a driver problem but I have the lastest. Hope the MSI people can help us on this. Welcome to the MSI forums!

KT4V onboard sound issues

Well the sound crackles and stuff. The sound is great but every now and then it crackles down just like theres a glitch i some wire or somtn (but it isnt ive checked). Ive reinstalled IDE controllers, Ive updated chipset, audio drivers and set win xp to fit my soundsettings.. but still.. real pain when listening to MP3s. :(
my system is:
AMD XP 2100 Thoroughbred
KTV4 Mobo
256 pc2700 ddr ram
Hercules 8500le 64mb graphics
IBM 60Gb Hdd
BTC cd/cdrw
Samsung DVD sd 608

argh.. i thought 300W would be sufficent.. or is it just that my psu sucks? but then again my system is not under heavy graphic or hdd process at the moment but it still acts up..

Need Help Please: Audigy2 Value conflict with onboard sound

<SPAN class=postbody>System info: Windows XP Home Edition, 2.4 GHz IntelPent4, 52MB of RAM; DDR 200(33MHz), MSI MS-6547 (645 Ultra) motherboard. I need help! Sigh...well I am trying to put in a Soundblaster Audigy2 into my computer. I am under the impression that I have to disable and remove all onboard sound b/c it conflicts with the new sound card, ?. I currently have onboard sound ( AC97 Audio Controller ). I went to add/remove programs and removed the AC97 from there. I also went to MyComputer/Properties/Hardware/DeviceManager/Sound,Video,andGameControllers/AC97AudioContoller and deleted it. st Question: Under DeviceManager/Sound,Video,GameControllers...Do I need to remove the Legacy Audio Drivers? I know that I have to delete the rest of the drivers for AC97 and out of chance would Legacy be those drivers? I am guessing no...Also, is there anything else that I have to delete for the on board sound program to be gone? 2nd Question: I went to BIOS, and since I have windows XP home edition I think that configuration is a little different from what I read(I wont bore you with that). So, where do I go to "disable" the onboard sound in BIOS for Windows XP HomeEdition? Also, I read something about making sure the "Chip" was disabled but I could be paranoid. Do I need to worry about that? If you made it through all that text I thank you dearly. I hope that I can get some help from someone b/c I know nothing. I am afraid of making the wrong choice on BIOS and messing everything up. Thank You so Much! Ross Message Edited by RossRude3 on 04-06-2005 0:48 AM

Ross,
To fully disable teh onboard audio you would need to go into the BIOS to disable the Onboard Audio chip there. The manual with your motherboard or PC should have more detail on where exactly to find this setting, as it will differ per BIOS type. Generally it should be under a heading like Integrated Peripherals, and should be marked as the Onboard Audio chip, or AC97 Audio.

K7N2 Delta Onboard Sound Disable Question

I have a K7N2 Delta motherboard with a MSI FX5600 256MB DDR video card. I am currently using the onboard audio. Ever since I first built this computer I have been having nearly every game I play on it lock up and freeze. I am thinking that it is a sound issue that is causing this problem, so I want to install a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live. I have several questions that I hope someone can answer as I have exhausted all avenues and still don't have any answers. Here are my questions:
1. How do I disable the onboard sound? ie Which jumper is it and what are the
jumper settings?
2. Which PCI slot is recommended for installing the sound card so that I won't
any IRQ conflicts?
3. Is this actually an audio problem or is there something else wrong with this
motherboard or video card?
This is becoming very frustrating because when the computer locks up all I can do is just reset without shutting down. I'm becoming more and more worried that if this continues unabated I'm going to crash the hard drive and have to replace it only to have the problem persist. I hope someone can give me specific answers to my questions. Thank you in advance for your help.

First. Is it K7N2 Delta-L or Delta-ILSR (the one with an actual Soundstorm chip on it)? If you have the actual Soundstorm chip, use it! It will sound much better than an SBLive. Assuming you have the normal K7N2 Delta-L like I have:
1. To disable the onboard sound, first uninstall the drivers for it, then you need to go into the BIOS by holding the Delete key while you boot up. Then find the section "Integrated Peripherals" and in that section "Onboard Devices". Press Enter and find AC97 Audio and disable it. There are no jumpers.
2. PCI slots 1, 2 and 3 are usually not shared with other stuff like you AGP or USB ports. PCI Slot 3 is the ideal choice. 1 is usually covered by your video card fan anyway. For the SBLive, on Windows XP/2000, get the newest drivers from Creative Labs. The file is named "LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe" and it's file size is 23.3 MB (24,451,404 bytes). They have fixed the "nforce2 + gameport incompatibility".
3. The problem may be audio related...or not. Which drivers are/were you using for your onboard audio? nvidia or Realtek? Actual Soundstorm chip or crappy software codec? It could also be video card related. Fastwrites? 8x or 4x AGP?

K8T Neo-FIS2R onboard sound limitation?

Reading southmikes unofficial guide, it seems you can't use both onboard sound AND a PCI sound card (such as a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz).
Is this still correct with the 1.6 BIOS? I want to use the microphone input on the motherboard, but the the TBSC for output.

It was fixed with BIOS v1.3. I use an SB Live! and the onboard sound card, too.
It was not driver dependent, the BIOS disabled the sound card that is behind the ISA bridge.
How can I say that? ISA bridge? There ain't no stinking ISA slot on this mobo!
Look at this listing that I obtained under Linux, particularly the devices labelled
as 00:11.0 and 00:11.5.

Is the onboard sound better than SB live!

I been thinking of using onboard sound right now Im using a old sound blaster live! its not the 5.1 What do you guys think ? See my sig for mobo type
This is the sound chip on the mobo Realtek ALC650 it has 4 to 6 chan. and it also has a
S-bracket that has analog to digital audio outputs by intergrating both SPDIF.
Anyone here use there onboard sound? I would like to buy sometime till I can get a new soundcard I want to free up a pci slot.

Uninstall the SB Live, and all related components thru device manager, then go to control panel>add or remove programs. Remove any Creative programs related to the SB Live. Shutdown and remove the SB from the system. Upon bootup, enter BIOS, and in the "Integrated Periphrials" section, set the AC97 to enabled, and reboot.
During bootup, it should find the AC97, and ask for the drivers, cancel the prompt. Then open the folder containing the drivers, and install from there.
One thing to check while you have the case opened to remove the SB, look for the front audio header, usually "JAUD1", there needs to be 2 jumpers installed in order to direct sound to the rear audio ports. These are normally installed before the board ships, but can be left off. Never hurts to look. I believe the jumpers go on 5-6 and 9-10. Check your manual to verify. the front audio header is located at the bottom of the board, near the front. If you have no manual, click here to download one.

Wheres my onboard sound gone

hi there,
was playing around with memory timings and had to reset the cmos in the usual way, put my settings back in and low and behold no sound, tried playing a mp3 in win media player and get nothing, it comes up with a ! next to the title of the track i'm playing, looked in bios and ac97 enabled, task manager shows nothing wrong, when i try to reistall the c-media codecs i get that it can't find a audio chip, reset the cmos again and still nothing, have i fried the onboard sound chip with all the fiddling about???
also sound control on usb keyboard stopped working as well,
Run win xp pro with the system in sig,
Any ideas on what else to check or is it sound card for me ( onboard sound )

Thanks Danny, I thought i checked this, but i didn't, I feel this big, . so small you can't see it, a lesson to us all about checking things over and over again, and then again.

Troubles with Onboard Sound

Hi,
I have a big Problem with the Onboard Sound and 4 Speakers.
Windowssounds, Mp3, Audio,.. -Sounds/Music won't play on the Rear Speakers only at the Front Speakers.
But the Listing Environment Test works fine with the 4 Speakers (Front & Rear).
Where is the Problem?
In the pdf Manual i found in the Appendix A-8 an additional Tool which is called "AC97 Audio Configuration".
But I can't found any Programm like this on my PC or the Drives CD's.
Installed ADI SoundMAX Drivers for ICH5 v5.12.01.3538 (Downloaded by Live Update) on my WinXP Pro.
Connected 1 Pair Front-Speaker to the Back Panel (Line Out Nr.3)
Connected 1 Pair Rear-Speaker to the Back Panel (Line Out Nr.2)
Changed in the "Listing Environment" to "Quad Speakers".
Do Step by Step Installation from the Manual.
Installed again and again.
Set the Volume Control to max.
Rebootet many Times.
Speakers / Cabels are all OK
Thanks 4 Your Help!

There has Been reported Problems with the ADI Sound-Max Drivers, I know that MSI is Aware of the Problem, and are in the Process of Rectifying the Problem See this Thread, as they have been in contact with an ADI Rep.>>> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=40566&sid= ...............Sean REILLY875

Bad onboard sound solved?

Im not sure whether this has been allready discussed but i couldnt't find anything on it. So basically the problem is that the onboard sound sounds terrible and the realtek drivers don't really do it any good.
So yesterday i installed the newest nvidia chipset drivers (4.27) and noticed it doesn't install the sound drivers at all, even though they should support the realtek chipset we have . so at first i tried to install it manually and it still did not install the drivers, so then i manually selected the inf files from nvidia driver folder and even thou it said they are not designed for this device i ignored it and voila, my onboard is working very good with nvmixer and sounds pretty good (on par with my live 5.1 board).
The correct inf to install is Nvidia nforce audio codec interface.

plz try this - (with realtek drivers) but dont change the eq or it resets something and sounds like **** again
Paste the following into a text file and save it as ac97.reg onto desktop then double-click it then yes ok - then reboot:
EDIT: the backslashes should be at the end of each line, i cant get it to do it in the forum for some reason. just go to the end of the lines and delete once.

BIOS settings for onboard sound on MS-6341

Can anyone tell me how I should set the following parameters in the BIOS on the MS-6341 revision 1.1 motherboard if I want to use the onboard sound features of this board (USING WINDOWS 2000 PRO OPERATING SYSTEM):
AC97 AUDIO - AUTO OR DISABLED
ONBOARD LEGACY AUDIO - ENABLED OR DISABLED
SOUND BLASTER - ENABLED OR DISABLED
SB IRQ SELECT - IRQ5, IRQ7, IRQ9, IRQ10
SB DMA SELECT - DMA1, DMA0, DMA2, DMA3
MPU-401 - ENABLED OR DISABLED
GAME PORT - ENABLED OR DISABLED
The reason I am asking this is because when I set these parameters to what I think they should be to use the onboard sound, I wind up with an unknown device shown in the sound section of device manager and as soon as I attempt to do something with this device (either disable or uninstall), my Plextor CD-RW drive starts loosing it's firmware & then I have to reflash firmware, but they are lost again when the system is cold booted, (works fine up to this point including entire installation of the operating system). Does anyone know what this unknown device that is showing up in the sound section is and what I should do about it - should I just leave, disable, uninstall, or try to install the drivers for it and if so where do I find the drivers ? Is it possible that this unknown device has something to do with the audio cable that runs from the CD-RW drive to the motherboard CD-Audio socket ?
The following is how I have the above listed BIOS parameters set:
AC97 AUDIO - AUTO
ONBOARD LEGACY AUDIO - ENABLED
SOUND BLASTER - ENABLED
SB IRQ SELECT - IRQ5
SB DMA SELECT - DMA1
MPU-401 - DISABLED
GAME PORT - DISABLED
Thanks.

HI..
Most of the time, the default settigs work without any problem.. Watch Out.. I have had some instances where the SOUND BLASTER = ENABLED had some problems on installing Win2K and XP on an older computer (K7TPro2).. This is only there for OLD Dos games and should not cause any problems when set to DISABLED..
Hope this helps

K7T Turbo2 onboard sound

can someone please help me get this going?
i'm sure most of my problem is that i don't know exactly what all the bios switches are supposed to do... under Advanced Chipset Features there is "OnChip Sound", and under Integrated Peripherals there is "Onboard Legacy Audio" and "Sound Blaster"...
i've tried disabling everything and removing the audio drivers (i think) in the OS and then enabling them back. when i try to install the VIA AC97 driver it complains that onboard sound is not enabled. I'm running win2k and it doesn't look like it is picking it up anymore during it's new hardware searches.
can someone please explain (better than the manual) what different bios options are for? Is Sound Blaster only if I have a Sound Blaster card? or is there a Sound Blaster "emulator" built into the board or something?
please help...thanks!

Hi,
The SB option is for DOS and should NOT be enabled with Win2k.
As it emulates a SB under plain-DOS for DOS-games.
All the others should be enabled.
These settings should be like that on default.
But most of the time when sound won't install the drivers properly it's because some unwanted standoff's are left in the case that should have been removed as there is no hole in the board to put screw into :D
See the trouble guide for this, link below.

Unable to make microphone to work on NVIDIA MCP55 onboard sound card

Hello.
Some time ago, I bought a nice HP xw9400 Workstation (with Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216) from Germany. Despite it's starting to become old by today's standards for some stuff like gaming, it's still quite okay to use and the SAS HDD makes it boot fastly. And it has one of the best cases, you can plug PCI/PCIe/PCI-X cards very easily and it's very nice to change or add HDDs. Maybe I'll upgrade the CPUs (I can upgrade the bios and it seems it can support better CPUs) if I find them on eBay or other place.
I have less problems with Arch than the rest of distributions, but I still have weird issues. Despite my computer hardware is somewhat old, I still experience weird problems everywhere (it seems I have some kind of weird "luck").
I have problems using my microphone under Arch with "NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" onboard sound card , here is the relevant info.

(I tried them with my user and root, same results)
I had an Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro, but removed it to see if there was some problem. I'm still unable to use my Microphone even on onboard audio hardware. I'll try to use it once I have the microphone working
Regards.

Sorry, that was wrong, I meant
arecord -l
Have you tried making a virtual loopback device like above and using
arecord -vv -fdat out.wav
You should see the #### fluctuate as you speak into the mic. If not, then unmute and turn up your mic in alsamixer. That loopback device will allow you to capture your sound card and hear it at the same time. Another way to do it is to use a jumper from line out to line in on your sound device. You won't be able to hear it while you record though.
If your sound device works, then you can capture what's going through it. You'll need to determine which vitual device your mic is.
Example
arecord -l

I'm at a loss with the onboard sound

I can't get my 6 5.1 speakers to work on mt KT4 Ultra board, so I'm considering putting my Sound Blaster back in and disabling the onboard sound. What kind of a performance hit will I take?
I can get the fronts to work, or the rears to work but not all six. I have tried everything I can think of.
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
Have you set up the C-Media drivers for 5.1/6.1 sound? The settings for each speaker configuration can be found if you double-click the c-media icon next to the clock and select the settings button. Note how the plug configuration changes if you change the type of speakers.
I found that the 6.1 configuration with the headphone(?) option ticked makes all my 5.1 speakers work ok. I'm not saying I haven't got any sound problems but at least they all work.
I've also found that individual apps also need to be setup for the better speakers as well. PowerDVD needs to have the setting specifically set or the sounds all over the place.
Hope this helps

Will not boot after disabling onboard sound

I am trying to install an SB Audigy2 ZS sound card but each time I disable the onboard sound card, I cannot boot my system. It will not boot to CD either. I have tried disabling with SB Audigy2 ZS card installed and without the card installed. I am using the third PCI slot since the video card uses the first slot's space.
I tried it without 2 of my hard drives in case I was running low on power, but still will not boot.
Any ideas?

i have the newer mobo and also have audigy zs it install just right for me but i have it in pci slot 4 (the last one on my mobo) your manual of your mobo will tell you which pci share the same irq ..but when i had your version of mobo i still had it in slot 4 so try pci 4 or 5 to see if that resolves your problem it souds like your video card and sound card are tying to share the same irq which is a big no no
