MOVED: P7N Diamond - Sound in Ubuntu/Linux

This topic has been moved to Linux/Unix.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124070.0

I'm on the original bios, 1.10. I would have tried updating to the 1.90 Linux bios version, but have been frightened off by the need, reported here, to put in the original OS recovery DVD and revert to that.
When I'm confident that I can make a copy of the existing 9.04 Ubuntu installation and recover back to that afterwards, I might look at updating the bios.
Does the later bios actually make much difference? A quick browse of what info is available doesn't reveal much. Of course, often if there is a huge mistake in early versions "they" prefer not to highlight it.
I'm limited by not having easy access to a USB DVD drive, so I'm trying to work with thumb drives or across the network.

MOVED: P7N Diamond Overclocking Assistance Please

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114771.0

Bomberh,
My bad...was thinking of the P6N Diamond..the P7N Diamond does NOT have the VTT option in Cell Menu. Just for info, I had .500 volts on my e6750 on stock air cooling and it posted 3600mhz and the CPU temp in bios never exceeded 32 deg C. So, what you have to do is raise the voltage to the CPU to give it a little "oomphh" to get into post and the OS. Your Arctic cooler should be able to handle it..try 1333, increase voltage in cell menu to .375 and see what happens? Up to .500 volts with a good air cooler w/adequate heat paste should be quite safe. You should always stop in bios to check the Hardware Monitor and record what the CPU and System temps are when O/Cing...if you see a steadily increasing temperature you will have plenty of time to pull the plug..lol. Keep us posted. Like Aaron said..it's all about trial and error.

MOVED: P7N Diamond - Memory Problem ???

Absolutely nothing helps. NOTHING. I have tried every possible thing you could expect normal user to try. This mainboard is crap. I got this to almost work with some (very expensive) Kingston memory sticks which were mentioned somewhere with this board, it only crashes few times a day now! Every component is tested at reseller AND replaced with some other brand. No help.

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.

Bomberth,
Please see the XS thread on the P7N for lots of OC tips and assistance:

Assuming you have a good Q6600 (preferably G0 stepping) and proper cooling, you should have no trouble OCing on this board.

I plugged it into the other slot on the video card and it works fine now.
It should work in all slots. Which slot did you have it in before?

MOVED: P7N diamond Q6600 weired oce issue

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116562.0

Malik,
If you can, dont use Ntune..it causes more problems than it's worth. Download the new System Tools, and just install the Performance Tools. It offers better OC options, including shader sliders and is much more reliable than Ntune was. Ths only glitch in the Performance Toos, is that you must run your shader at least twice your GPU core speed or it will give you an "invalid setting" message. Nvidia needs to provide an unlink button, or, just link the sliders.
Oh, and you should set all your FSB sttings in bios, not in Ntune or Performance tools.

I've never seen it, but I did read this on extremesystems
"Current performance BIOS is P07, based off of 1.1B6. This BIOS is known to solve multiplier issues with Yorkfield / Wolfdale chips. P09, which should carry over 1.1B8's new voltage settings, should be out shortly. "

MSI P7n Diamond Sound clipping/distortion

I get distortion whenever I listen to songs with high frequency highs. Like machine head's "slanderous" zeppelin's "immigrant song" or other treble-heavy songs. I've tried several soundcards and speakers and the problem is still there.
What is wrong?

If your using the Creative X-Fi audio card that came with the P7N D., are you by any chance trying to use Creative's 'Retail' drivers? If so, the drivers from MSI update must be used from what I understand. Also, could you post what OS you are using?
Here is a link that may be of help: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=122892.0 It may also be worthwhile to contact MSI with your symptoms, as they may have an immediate remedy.

MOVED: P7N Diamond Optimization and Overclocking

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=121203.0

First off:
Learn how Intel's Core 2 architecture works. Basically: how the FSB calls the shots, how Vdrop needs to be compensated for, etc..
>>Core 2 Duo/Quad OC Guide<<
If you wish to go more advanced (after doing the above, obviously), you can start tweaking with GTLREF and FSB VTT voltages: >>GTLREF and FSB VTT Voltage Tweaking<<
VGA card overclocking is another story... NVIDIA and ATI differ in both ways. With NVIDIA, getting the GPU and/or shader clock speed higher help most.
It would be better to overclock one card at a time, then go with the lowest overall clock speeds for both - upon completion - test them together (the thermals will play MUCH more a case here, so watch those temps while running SLI and the overclock).

MOVED: P7N Diamond/E8500 Overclocking Issue

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=128705.0

Yep, CPU-Z version 1.51 is what I have installed. It kind of stinks that 3.7G's is the highest folks can get this board. I know many folks get the E8500 well past 4+G's, but I'll be happy with a stable 3.7G's. I really wanted to keep with BIOS overclocking, I just thought maybe I was doing something wrong. Any suggestions on some sort of performance testing I can do at default settings then at my overclock settings so I can verify I'm getting a performance increase?
Thanks for the reply!!!!!!!

P.S. Oh yea, my VID is 1.2250v... I knew I had it written down!

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. :(

Inadequate sound capture levels using Audigy 2 w/ Ubuntu Linux.

Hello, everything works fine in Windows XP. I use Audacity to do some basic multitrack recording with my guitar and Line6 POD.
However, I recently installed Ubuntu Linux (5.10) in a dual boot configuration with Windows. I cannot get decent recording levels using my typical recording method: guitar => Line6 POD preamp => Aux 2 (stereo RCA) on Audigy2 ZS Platinum breakout box => Audacity software. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the Linux audio drivers. I have found where to change the audio capture levels for the sound card (ALSA mixer), but even when I max everything out, my record levels are pathetic compared to Windows (-10 dB or more). Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks pzad! At least now I know I'm not going crazy. Still, it's disappointing to come across problems like this. It looks like I'll have to ditch Linux for audio recording purposes, at least until this issue is resolved or I get some new audio hardware.
I gathered from that bug tracker issue that you were planning to release a patch for this issue. Since the issue is still open, I take it that you haven't been able to do this yet? If it's because you don't have the hardware to test, I would be happy to help in any way I can. Just to warn you though: I am a Linux noob.
