MS 6178 mobo...no sound and poor graphics

mmm
Hi folks, I've just had to format and re-install Win 98SE on my sisters PC, everything seems to work but there is no sound and the graphics are set to 640 x 480 with no option to alter to 800 x 600 which was the original setting. The board is a MICRO STAR INTERNATIONAL 6178 and it has a Pentium3 700 mhz CPU. The sound and graphics are both onboard and both worked ok before the format and re-install........can anyone help me with these problems ? I would be grateful for your help.
Cheers Beech

Is this your board? http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=116&kind=1
Has the downloads for the bios, manual and sound.
Check at the bottom of this page for the intel vga drivers.

Constant Terrible Quality, Jumping Sound, And Poor...

Hey.
No matter what I try, I get constant bad quality using my BT Vision box. When I play the BBC iPlayer, all i get is crackling and a lot of compression on the noise. Most other channels just give me jumping, crackling and badly pixelated images.
Nothing I have done has improved it. My signal quality is good, and the strength is above 70% for almost every channel. It feels like it is a hardware problem. I have tried the box in 2 locations, and the same result in both places (I moved home).
I was thinking, the fact that even using the iPlayer, and it is still giving me bad quality shows that it's preforming poorly. In essence, its just streaming or downloading the programe from the internet, but it still plays as if I'm using the normal channels with very bad quality...
I hope someone can help because I'm very frustrated with it and very disapointed.
DM

Have you tried calling the helpline? If it shows the same problems with both on-demand and Freeview, then it could be a faulty box.

Satellite P200D-11R sound and graphics crash after waking up from sleep mode

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone here has had similar experiences to mine (below) or can offer any solutions.
I have upgraded my P200D-11R OS to Vista 64 Ultimate to take advantage of the extra performance. I also add that the BIOS has already been updated to version 1.4.
Well, everything works fine with the standard 2Gig of RAM which the laptop was supplied with originally, however, when I upgrade the RAM to 4Gig (2 x 2GB Samsung 667mHz modules), sound and graphics problems appear every time the machine is brought back from sleep mode.
The sound card makes a very laud fuzzy noise every time it wants to play a sound and the graphics produce lots of horizontal lines on the screen. I then just have to restart the machine which means loosing all my unsaved work.
Everything works fine as long as the machine does not enter sleep mode. I have currently disabled the sleep mode to prevent the machine from entering it but I am finding life very hard without it.
I am very surprised and also disappointed at the fact that Toshiba did not test these machines with Vista 64 Ultimate and 4Gig of RAM!
Extra info:
The memory is the same Samsung type as the 1Gig modules supplied by Toshiba originally with the machine, and the part number Toshiba recommends.
I have tried installing other (more recent) device drivers by Realtek and ATI without any improvements.
The memory modules pass all tests and are not defective. They have also been tested on my friends Dell notebook with no problems even in sleep mode.
I have installed my friends Dell 2Gig memory modules in my P200D and they too produce exactly the same results with post-sleep crashes.
My thoughts are that this must be another BIOS issue unless anyone can shed some light on the issue from another angle.
Please help! Many thanks in advance.

Hi Sascha
Since you are running a Vista 32bit version, the upper limit of the memory recocnised by the machine is 3.2gb which is the maximum a 32bit operating system can address and use. The diffrence here is that I also upgraded my OS to Vista Ultimate 64bit to get yet better performance out of the 64bit dual AMD processor.
3.2gb of RAM on 32bit OS does not necessarily increase the performance. However, it keeps the performance stable when you open many more programs at the same time since the machine has more RAM to play with before staring to use the much slower hard drive as operating memory (Page File), to keep all thoes open programs running.
A 64bit OS such as Vista Ultimate 64, recognises the whole 4gb of RAM and much more (for instance, 8gb with 2 x 4gb RAM modules). The 64bit OS itself would generally consume more RAM to start with, however, with 4gb I found the general performance to be much better. Going back to the problem however, my P200D-11R with Ultimate 64 and 4gb RAM refuses to wake up from sleep mode gracefully and the graphics and sound crash every time, forcing me to restart.
My feelings at present is that eventhough your machine may be slightly different, I bet if you upgrade your OS to 64bit, the machine will start recognising all of the 4gb of RAM and post-sleep crashes will start to appear!

T520 - 42435gg / Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance with Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver

Hi everybody,
I have serious Problems with my 42435gg
Any time I install the Intel Storage AHCI Driver (I've tried plenty of different versions) which is suggested by System Update I experience a horrible Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
The funny thing in this case: If the external e-sata port is connected the problems do not occur. If the port is unused again, the stutter begins immediately.
The only thing I can do is using the Windows internal Storage Driver with which I am not able to use my DVD recorder for example.
The device was sent to lenovo for hardware testing with no result. It was sent back without any repairing.
Anybody experience on this?
Kind regards,
Daniel

Did you try the 11.5 RST beta? Load up DPClat and see if DPC conditions are favorable.
What are you using to check graphics performance?

[Python pygame] Graphic equalizer - keeping sound and video in sync

Hi!
I'm writing a graphic equalizer in python and I want to use pygame for the video and audio output.
The video display of the moving bars works great, now that I have a correct way to read samples and decode them.
The problem now is: they're way out of sync with the audio playing in the background!
At the moment my code, that draws the bars basically looks like this:
# loop as long as we can get slice of the audio file for the fft
for n_frame in range(0, len(framebuffer), fftframesz):
clock.tick_busy_loop(t_loop)
# t_loop was defined as fftframesz over total_frame_count
# which means in words: t_loop is the amount of FFTs per second - or the cycles of THIS loop
# grab the frames and perform the fft here
...numpy.fft.fft...
# set the new bar heights and draw them
for bar in bars:
bar.update()
# if playback has not started yet, make it so
if not pygame.mixer.get_busy():
musicfile.play()
The way I'm thinking, this should be enough to keep sound and video in sync. Because we know the time that one cycle should take at most,
we can set the clock to tick_busy_loop this time. This way we make sure that the video is not faster than the sound.
But to me it seems that is is the other way round, i.e. that the video is slower than the sound. I already did some timing, but to no avail.
Is there perhaps a more easy, more elegant way to make sure that image and audio are in sync?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your ideas. I assume you mean I should go with a $1200.00 final cut pro software. NOT.
Sure the video will be on myspace and youtube but wether they are noticed or not is not as important as self satisfaction. I can easily split scenes into equal time zones as I said. Then drag them into clips and back all using the same camcorder. Multiple cameras and angles would be nice but this can be done on a low budget and still look good. I guess my original questions were not answered. Is there a way to determine the length of a transition and shorten the clip by that amount. Or the length of a still shot and do the same. Or perhaps they have been answered and the answer is NO WAY, and I am just not hearing it.
I suppose reimporting a video would be great if I could use two timelines like in audio and then blank out what I don't want in the first. But I just don't think this is possible, or is it. I've been reading iMovie HD6 The Manual that should have been in the box. It's a help but doesn't take you from the beginning of a project to the final project. Exporting to imovie or idvd is not an issue. BTW I got the clips in sync as I said by leaving blank spots and placing effects over them. I could insert the proper length video in those spots but that can look silly without transitions. But then again so can transitions. This stuff is very fun and interesting and a great learning experience. If I stop now as you suggest then I am not pushing myself to the limit. But thanks for your reply.

MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!

I don´t know how well known this problem is but I´ve seen it on this forum and when googling the internet you can find it!
The issue is that I can´t get my HD5450(Sapphire) to work on my MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) mobo! The screen stays blank but the PC boots up and loads Windows.
The HD5450 works fine on other mobos with different PSU´s ranging from 350 - 600 watts, but when trying different PSU´s on the 945GCM5-F V2 it doesn´t seem to help. I´ve also tried different bios settings, I´ve cleared CMOS, I´ve tried both dvi and vga outputs, I´ve disconnected as much as possible from the mobo except from the graphics card and the PSU, but nothing seems to help!
Any ideas , someone?
Tekrar!

Thanks for all replies!
I had this question on the AMD forum (AMD Game » AMD Technology » Radeon Graphics » MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!) and here are some of the replies:
"Well, its a known issue that older chipsets, like even AMD 580X chipset, doesn't work with 5k/6k series cards without a bios update from the manufacturer of the board.
If its not working / posting / no video ect... You need to bug MSI to update the bios on the board to support the newer 5k/6k video cards. It may or may not happen. Several manufacturers have like Asus, and Gigabyte."
"Same problem. 5450, MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2). Done the same plus updated msi mainboard bios using msi live update 5 etc. Waiting for reply from makers of graphics card and mainboard.
I should add from what I've read in other threads and forums it seems to be an old mainboard problem not just related to the MSI 945GCM5-F V2. Some other manufacturers of mainboards have sent customers bios upgrades to get their cards working.
As for your pci express version question. Well these problems seem to emerge when people have plugged these pci express version 2.1 cards into their pci express 1st generation slots. What exactly the problem is here? Leave that for manufacturers/experts to answer."
"Tek , its hit or miss on the board + chipset combination on if the card will work or not. Sometimes they will work in old boards, Sometimes they will not w/o manufacturerer support.
Its completely random from what I've seen on the forums at the times they were released , when people with old boards were asking why it wasn't working. And what they did to solve it. Most all of them emailed the manufacturer. Some of those said manufactureres provided beta bios back to the customers, some said your out of luck."
Its true, this MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) isn´t a new mobo, but when I get the 5450 to work without problem with an even older fujitsu mobo (last bios update long time ago) and a 350 watts PSU I think something´s wrong.
So, a bios upgrade would probably fix it if the manufacturer (in this case MSI) just wanted to!
Tekrar!

Fm2-a85xma-e35 A10 5800k poor graphics performance

Hi guys,
Made a new build with fm2-a85xma-e35 and A10 5800k and getting very poor graphics. Windows
WEI aero score of 4.8, wow running at ~25 fps on low, poor Photoshop open gl performance, and choppy Windows performance when dragging Windows around. Feels like no graphics driver is installed. Been tinkering for a week and even rma'ed a new apu and still the same. I know people say get an independent graphics card for good performance, but this is the issue of the apu not working properly on this board and not me trying to get gtx performance from an apu. Anyone have this combo can help? Thanks!

try dedicating some more Memory to it in BIOS! (it may be being choked there!)
I dedicated memory to 1gig and still the same results. Stock was at 768mb. others are set at 512mb and still have proper test results. I don't think it's the vram, there's definitely something wrong.
Only thing is I'm using ripjawsx 2133 ram, on MSI's site it states max supported is 1600 ram for ripjawsx. Ram runs fine but wondering if that can be causing a problem?
I really don't want to RMA the board as it'll take 15 days to test and determine if it's faulty before sending me a new one IF it's determined to be faulty. Everything is working on the board except the poor graphics of the APU and the current buzzing sound with cool n quiet on.
I also RMA'd the cpu already, but what are the chances of me getting 2 bad CPU's in a row?

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive. I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive. I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected. I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions? I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

The file sizes are identical. In the finder I did a search for all .mov files. Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find. I am a new mac user and am used to windows. I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me. I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto. Then the videos worked again. However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that. Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality. Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...

My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it.

My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it. I've tried different power plugs. Going direct into the wall, through a power strip. By iteslf, with other devices plugged in. I removed hard drives, and some RAM, and nothing. Sometimes it would not turn on, and then some minutes later it works. So its was sparatic, but now its been the same situation for three days where it wont turn on.
I'm guessing power supply, but I wanted to see if anyone had a similar expereince and what the solution was, before I drag this beast to my local Apple store and have them look at it. Its a real pain to get it there and back and I want to be armed with some info for them. I already dragged this to them when it first started to do this, and of course it started up just fine for them. And you know if it works for the Genius then theres nothing wrong with. No matter what you explain to them.
I figure if anyone had a the same problem and was able to resolve it, I can relate that experience to the Genius even if it start up for them.
Thanks

Try a SMC Reset using the extended method:
Remove the AC power cord.
Press the power-on button. [This drains the stored charge from the power supply]
wait a quarter minute.
Restore the power cord, being certain to JAM it into the socket, as the big block of rubber inhibits proper seating.
wait a quarter minute
attempt to power on.
If no joy, examine the button battery half-hidden behind the graphics card. Remove it to measure the Voltage. A new battery should not cost over US$5, and measures a little over 3 Volts. BR-2032 is used in garage door opener controls and car door locks controls. The geeks at Radio Shack can measure it for you.

Synchronizing sound and image for splash screen.

Hello all,
I have a peculiar request. ...
I have a sound file (about 137KB) and an animated gif (about 134KB).
I would like to use this as my splash window before my app starts up.
I know how to load these 2 to a screen but my problem is how do I synchronize the sound to go along with the image when it starts up? (Its a gunshot sound, whcih is looped with the animated image showing the bullet holes ;-)
I've been investigating using the Timer class but no success to date.
Currently, the sound file loads up, starts and then a few seconds later the image..
So.... How do I:
1. Load the sound first.
2. Load the image.
3. Start both of them synchronized.

This is actually pretty involved...
Are you using java.applet.AudioClip to play the sound? Are you loading the animated gif as a JLabel or something using ImageIcon?
If you are using AudioClip for the audio, I suggest that you cache the sound and image before playing the sound... otherwise you'll probably hear pops or the sound will pause. To cache the sound, do this:
AudioClip clip = Applet.newAudioClip("somefile");
Unfortunately, java really sucks at handling animated gifs. On slower computers, I've seen it take about 15-20 seconds to load an animated gif that's around 90k in size... totally unacceptable! If you have a gif that just plays a once (or a few times) and then stops, you'll have to flush the graphic to restart the image. This will reload the file and cause the long delay every time you need to replay the gif.
It seems like the best thing to do is to break up the animated gif into frames (either put each frame in its own file, or place each frame into one large image file and use clip rectangles to retrieve frames) and handle the animation yourself with your own thread. Alternatively, you can use the GifDecoder utility available at http://www.fmsware.com/stuff/gif.html, but be careful when using GifDecoder, it eats up a lot of memory for larger Gif files. When you handle the animation yourself, things should work properly. Again, make sure to cache the images by doing something like:
ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon("somefile");
Once everything is preloaded, things should be pretty much synchronized if you play the sound and then show the image.
To have more control, you may have to use an object with synchronized methods... like if you want a sound to play on the 3rd and 10th frame of animation. Another option is to use Quicktime for Java.
If you need more info, let me know!

Many Issues plauging my u300s (WiFi adapter, trackpad, sound and battery)

Hi everyone,
I got my Lenovo u300s (i7, 256GB variant) more than two years ago, sometime in April 2012. However, now the laptop has a host of issues. Performance wise, it is great. But the issues are with the parts of the ultrabook.
As follows:
1) My WiFi adapter "dies" after 15 mins or so after turning on the laptop. To re-enable it to work, I need to restart my computer. In the first 10-15 mins, the WiFi works as per normal, then it just dies.
2) My trackpad cannot right click. Makes it very hard to use MS Word and even the Internet as right-clicking is a integral part of using a mouse/trackpad. Otherwise, the trackpad works well and is one of the strong points of the u300s.
3) Sound does not work 99% of the time. The built-in speakers do not transmit any sound, and only occasionally, all of a sudden it will play the sound, and then die back down.
For all three cases, I have re-installed the drivers. But no improvements whatsoever.
If I do decide to send my u300s in for repair, how much might it cost? The u300s cost a bomb, and as such is there any chance Lenovo can repair these defects for free?
Also, on top of that, my battery has become really poor, even though I have not used my u300s much in recent months. It can barely last 2 hours on a single complete charge.
I'm hoping to stick with the u300s, cause like I said performance is still very snappy, but these defects around the laptop just makes it undesirable to use it.
Thanks!

Sound and Flashlite 2.0

Hello all
I am working on a flashlite 2.0 app. What i would like to be
able to do is layer sounds. So say 1-3 keys play different sounds
then I would like them to start on a keypress. What happens
currently is that when i sound is playing and a user presses
antoher key, there is a delay int hat sound starting. when all
sounds have ended the sound playing is instant. Therefore:) its
either way im coding it or a limitation of the player?
My basic code structure is:
Created a sound obejct for each sound and attachedthe sounds
at that point(hoping this would speed it up)
set up key listener and a function call is passed on the
number keys pasisng the linkageId to:
function soundCheck(soundID){
eval(soundID).start();
any help on thsi would be great

Try the latest drivers from VIA. http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=1&CatID=1010&SubCatID=104 Use the bottom drivers unless you want the multilingual then go with the middle one. You can also get the mobo drivers from the same site.
