MSI K8N Ne4 Platinum MS-7125

Hello,
I have a problem with K8N Neo4 Platinum MS-7125  (PCB 1.0A) mainboard.
I connected onboard optical audio with my amphi. But its give only 2 channel audio.
I want take 5.1 channel audio from onboard optical output.
I downloaded and installed last drivers from MSI web site. But my problem is continue.
How can i fix this problem. I use Windows Xp (SP3) Turkish. Are you help me this problem?
Thanks.

I believe it will only give 5.1 output if your source (DVD, etc) is 5.1. Otherwise, if you're playing music, then as music is 2-channel stereo, then obviously you'll only get 2-channel.
I think you can look in the audio driver control panel, for a 'stereo expand' option, or something similar, which will 'fill' your speakers with 2-channel audio.
Hello Again,
I've used file format "MKV"
I've used AV Receiver "Yamaha RXV-795"
when I try to click Center or Subwoofer at the test programme of the MSI without using  any film file, I don't get any  sound.
Thanks

  • Any known problems: MSI K8N SLI Platinum + seagate 7200.9 sata2 hdd?

    Hi all.
    I planning to buy Seagate sataII 7200.9 250GB drive (model: ST3250824AS) very soon (finally they are in stock in my city), but first i want to know is there any incompatibility issues or other problems with such combination - MSI K8N SLI Platinum + seagate 7200.9 series hdd.
    I don't have any experience with sata2 drives yet. Currently i'm using seagate 7200.7 120GB IDE hdd.
    I don't plan use RAID or use that new 7200.9 drive in combination with current 7200.7 drive (will use current hdd in other pc).
    Any tips/experience would be great.

    Seagate SATA II 7200.9 250GB drive (model: ST3250824AS) has both 3 G/bps speed and NCQ (Native Command Queuing) most all MB’s with the nVidia Chipsets using the nForce4 chip will have problems.  If they are not using RAID and you reduce the speed to 1.5 G/bps with a single drive you maybe able to get it to work.  Personally, I know the MS-7125 and MS-7220 both will not run RAID with those to motherboards.
    I have been battling with MSI and ASUS over this problem sense November and they have not come up with a fix.  Problem involved BIOS and RAID Controller Driver for the chipset.  Most MSI motherboards latest BIOS have fixed the BIOS half of the problem.  There is an unreleased 32-bit driver for Windows, but nothing for Windows XP 64.

  • MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI sound needs -5V; newest Antec 550W has no -5V rail

    I came within a whisker of ordering a non-returnable  3700 Venice, MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI mobo and an upgraded Power Supply, Antec's newest 550W PS the TP2-550 EPS12V ($117).  This has dual 2x24pin 12V 19A rails and is touted as the new V2.0 EPS12V/ATX12v compatible power supply for high performance SLI systems.  By accident I came across a page at MSI for this mobo
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mai...ail.php?UID=641
    At the end is this warning:  MSI Reminds You...
    • For this model, you must use a Power Supply which has a -5V pin supply. Also, the users manual which I downloaded on Pg 2-10 says the same thing
    The above Antec PS specs do not  show a -5V rail, nor does an Enermax 600W I looked at.  The V2.0 specs for ATX12v which added 2x24pin 12V rails dropped -5V rail from the spec and it appears MSI is not conforming to the spec (See Antec response at end) None of the web sites selling these PS & mobos contain any warning.  I vaguely recall from a forum a while back it may have something to do with the Soundblaster system in the mobo.
    http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=22551 (click specifications)
    Isn't this a major showstopper which is going to cause a lot of grief for those of us upgrading to SLI systems using this mobo and upgrading our PS to the newest & best power design?  We won't know the PS won't work until we build the system.
    Regards, Ron
    Antec reply to me:
    >>>>Thanks for the link. Since MSI's website does state the motherboard needs the -5v, the True550EPS12V will not work with this motherboard. The Standard (http://enhanceusa.com/documents/atx12v_v2.01.pdf) has removed the use for the -5v rail and it is no longer needed. MSI has not manufactured that motherboard to the Standard. Finding an ATX12V v2.0 power supply with the -5v might be hard to find. You should contact MSI for a compatibility list of power supplys that were tested to work with the K8N SLI Platinum.

    Wow!!  syar2003 thanks for that post.  I've spend an hour going through it &  fasteddies links.  Now I are a power expert.  The dual rail argument is enough for me to go back to the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI with one of the single rail PS -5V units listed by fasteddie. The only question left now refers to computerpro3  recommendation on ultra power supplies for SLI 
    >>I quite simply wouldn't dream of putting anything else in my machine. Keep in mind, this section is for 2x 6800 models, not the 6600's which most any good psu will handle (like Antec Neopower, ocz 520, etc). . Pc Power and Cooling 510 Deluxe SLI edition (refer to list)
    2. Zippy/Emacs 550-700w models
    3. OCZ 600w (personally I would get the pcp&c for the price, but it's been proven here, so I'll be fair...). 
    These are really high end, expensive and only 3-4 choices. Since I'm getting one 6800GT and eventually another & possibly eventually a 4800 X2, I was hoping the OCZ 520W would do it but computerpro3 says Powermaster 520 isn't good enough for SLI.  I found that there is an OCZ 600W ATX12 dual rail which surprisingly has a -5V rail needed for K8N Neo4 SLI Soundblaster.  Will this meet computerpro3's preference for a high end PS for SLI systems even though I'm losing the 1 rail advantage.  Maybe the 600 Watts just overwhelms the 1 rail/2 rail question.
    Thanks again for the teriffic help
    Regards, Ron
    Wondering what you settled on.  I got the Antec TP550 and it's flawless on the board.  I even have the older 20pin model which works perfectly (including sound).  If you really wanted what I would consider to be a top dog (pcpower and cooling), and find the -5v rail missing, all you have to do is place a phone order and request they add a -5v rail.  It's a minimal cost and a total solution for having everything.  Just my $0.02

      About PSU I'm a old (41 years old) newbie, and  I had to re-assemble my old computer to work   but I check this before with MSI software and at motherboard bios voltage check and remember that it was ok it is a 600 watts. But I think that even if it is not, I could at minus install the driver and start Windows. I had no possibility to even start Windows.
    If I  install any MSI or Nvidia driver, when loading WindowsXP the screen turns black and at some time after the system reboots and prompts to start in secure mode. So I can't do anything, even starts Windows with this videoboard with right drivers. It only works with "VesaSafe" driver.

    --Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
    1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
    2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
    Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
    (This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
    flashed.)
    3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
    4. Type "", then press ENTER
    5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.
    6. After flashing complete, remove floppy and reset the system .
    7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
    8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
    Drivers & Needed Files:
    (Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
    Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
    (Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
    *NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
    More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
    1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
    2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
    3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
    4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
    5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
    5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
    6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
    It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
    You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
    Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

    oh.  IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed.  So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
    Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal.  It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
    but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
    i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems

    Nothing has ever been overclocked on this system.
    Everything is plugged into a Belkin Surgemaster powerbar.
    I haven't mentioned the power supply. I'll get to that. I have been using an ANTEC NEOPOWER 480W POWER SUPPLY (ATX12V  DUAL 12V RAILS ACTIVE PFC W/ DETACHABLE OUTPUT CABLES) for about a year on this system without
    any issues. One morning, I wake up, hit the power button on my coolermaster case, and nothing happens.
    CPU fan won't even spin. Nothing happens.
    O.k., blown power supply, I think . . . .
    So I take out my Antec and put it in another system. That system turns on
    without any problems.
    Hmm . . .
    I come here, and I read posts about
    potential compatibility issues with Antec power supplies. But if it's a compatibility
    issue why was my system working for about a year?
    O.k., fine. I'll buy a Enermax 535W EG565P-VE FMA 24P (115/230 VAC) power supply.
    I just plug it into the mainboard (nothing else). Hit the power button . . .
    The CPU fan spins for half a second, and then nothing.
    Did my motherboard just suddenly die for no reason?
    Any suggestions?

    Pull the AC plug from PSU and set cmos in clear position with battery removed for atlest 20 minutes perhaps longer .
    Then try to post the system barebone .
    Just cpu,1 pcs memory in slot 1 , gfx card , and keyboard in PS2.
    No usb devices at all including card reader and no pci cards harddisks or cdoms/dvd/floppy.
    It could also be caused by a short or a malfunctioning fan connected to mobo.
    Try to disconnect all case fans from mobo headers if you have any connected to additional fan holders.
    The chipset fan can also be disconnected momentarily just to see if it posts.
    If none of this helps , replace cmos battery and try again .

  • New build: MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum + maxtor 300gb = problem?

    Got these 2 products included in a order:
    MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 Ultra (Socket 939)
    Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 10 NCQ 300GB
    While checking up on the MB on the MSI site, I noticed a version of the bios (1.2) that says 'support for 300gb maxtor drives'
    That's the same HD one I have coming with my order >.<
    If the MB I get hasn't got that version of the bios already installed will I have trouble installing the drive?!
    I downloaded the bios and it says in the readme not to install it from a floppy disk, so I guess you need a system up and running to make that update in the 1st place. No Idea how to go about this, if the need arises.

    Hi drjugears,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Many people are runnimg ok anyway as dope  says.
    But it's not an issue you can update the bios via floppy b4 connecting the maxtor.
    See Flashing the BIOS for Users using NON FAT file system This is a guide written by msi. Strictly speaking if you folow the instructions you aren't flashing from a floppy the actual update is done on a virtual drive in memory.
    if you need a floppy boot disc see Why no floppy for bios flash?
    luck with build
    Thanks very much for the welcome and info.
    Unfortunately I'll have to wait a while to see...I installed everything....but need some adapter for the 6pin connecter on the ATI card. The power supply came with some 8 pin one. So I need a 4 to 6 pin adapter. Doubt If I'll find one local, so will probably have to wait until monday now to try it out.

    let me know what you think.
    The other related posts I read, people were using raid or multiple OS.  I'm not.

    I had the same issues as you sometimes Windows would install and sometimes it wouldn't the problem was related to ram. I had my ram in slots one and two like you did and I moved the ram to slots 1 and 3 and now the machine is rock solid stable.
    I think most of the problems people are having are actually more ram related than anything else.
    So try moving the stick of ram you have in slot 2 to slot 3 and see if this solves your problem. This solution is on forums somewhere I am just not sure where.
    Take care,
    Bob

  • MSI K8n Neo Platinum

    Hi Guys,
                 I am having a problem with my computer at the moment. I am having trouble getting into the BIOS of this motherboard (MSI K8N Neo Platinum). When I try to get into BIOS, it goes into a black screen with a little line on top of it and its blinking. This has never happened before. Then when I shut off my computer since I couldn't get into the bios, I turned it back on and it goes on but nothing goes to screen or it wont boot up to startup screen. Then I turn it off, I reset the BIOS and turn it back on. Now it boots up to the startup screen, but when it says press del to get into bios, I pressed that and it happens again, it will not get into bios. When I do this over again by resetting the bios, this time without getting into BIOS, it goes on and boots up to Windows XP. I want to reformat my hard drive with a fresh copy of XP Pro, but I can't get into BIOS to do that. Can someone help me?

    Same thing happened to me today. Thanks MSI for publishing a Betaversion of a BIOSupgrade on the Live update.. 
    At first I figured that there must have been some fault during the BIOSflash so I downloaded the file again and repeated procedure. This time it worked like a charm and I could do all my BIOS-settings. The next restart the problem was back again though, and this time I had swapped the order for my SATA-drives to boot (to the way they should) but the system couldn't boot. So I couldn't enter neither the bios or Windows. Luckily you can shift the primary boot device by pressing F11 though, so I got out of the libido...
    Now I've downloaded the old 1.9 Version instead and I sure as h*** won't do any more beta-testing for MSI by using the Live Update anymore!

  • MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Fan

    For some reason the small chipset fan on my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo has become a lot louder, I think it is running at higher RPMs that before. It starts up loud even if the computer is doing a cold boot from room temperature. Is there anyway to control this fan speed and quiet it down? and if I slow it down, will it hurt my motherboard? This fan is now louder than my graphics card fan, which makes it the loudest fan in my case even though it is the smallest.

  • MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition memory question

    Hi there,
    I've currently got a MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition (Nforce 3) motherboard and 2X 512 MB Corsair Value Select memory modules (both double sided) running at DDR 400 - this runs completely stable and has done for a number of months. I would like to increase my memory to 1.5 Gig but there seems to be a lot of issues?
    I originally planned to buy an additional 512 Meg Corsair value select chip and place it in Bank 3 - is this acceptable?
    I assue that i would have to drop the speed down to DDR 333 from 400, could anyone tell me how much of a difference this actually makes (when playing FPS games Doom3 etc..) ?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as i've been looking through both this forum and the Corsair one and i cant seem to find the answer.
    thanks in advance !

    Just note that there are combinations of two sticks that will also make the board run in DDR333 mode (see page 2-8 of the manual). For example, using two double-sided sticks in DIMM2 and DIMM3. I've actually managed to get it to work at DDR400 in those two slots, but it's not perfectly stable and overclocking diminishes drastically. Bottom line is the system will work fine when forced to DDR333...as long as you don't expect to overclock the RAM to any significant degree.

  • MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum slows down

    Hi,
    I have a little problem with my new K8N Neo2 Platinum. I installed Windows XP and the newest nForce drivers but if I copy files over LAN (tested both LAN-Ports) or install big applications my music played with winamp slows down. It's played with half speed. In addition to that my mouse pointer is very slow. After the setup or copying files everything is how it should be again. How can I solve this problem?
    My system:
    AMD Athlon64 3500+ (Winchester)
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum-54G (tried different bios releases)
    1024MB Corsair XMS Twinx DDR500
    ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
    2 80GB Maxtor S-ATA (DMA Mode enabled)
    Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live! Player 5.1
    MorLipf

    Hello,
    I copy files to my bro sometimes, 5Gb - all the steam GCF files for CS/HL/CSS/HL2.
    My network usage is 80%-92%
    My CPU usage is always under 15%.
    It is worse when using 512Mb but as you have 1Gb it shouldn't be bad.
    Check in the device manager, your cd drives should be set to DMA mode.

    MSI K8N Neo Platinum nForce3 250Gb 3DDR-DIMM 5PCI SATA Raid Audio GB-LAN Firewire Socket754 ATX
    Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 512Mb DDR PC3200 400MHz 184pin Unbuffered CL3
    Okey here it comes..
    I installed everything and all seemed to work okey,  until i threw in the XP install cd and began my install..
    in the dos install of windows xp, (when it moves files to the hdd) it stopped and said that there was a problem with a file that were to be copied, i pressed enter to try again and  the install moves on,  this accurs 4-5 times and then it gives me a BIG  "IRQL less or not equal".. Blue screen of death.. (it complains on different files each time i try to install xp, tried 15-20 times)
    I have tried to change memory to another Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 512Mb DDR PC3200 400MHz 184pin Unbuffered CL3 with no luck,
    changed hdd, change gfx-card. change psu,  removed all no-need pci-cards..
    but still same error, i aint no expert so i might have missed something in bios or something :(
    please help me if you can..

    Flashing bios with memory errors is a veeeeery bad idea .
    Almost guarantied to ruin your bios chip with bad data block.
    That this even is suggested with mem errors , well .
    You need to resolve the mem errors before doing anything else.
    The windows xp install routine is a very heavy user of cpu and memory
    and will fail if you have mem errors like you have.
    Some things to try is entering bios and change auto settings on cpu voltage
    giving it 0.5v more than default .
    Set the memorys voltage to vendors max approved voltage
    which for yours is 2.6v +/- 0.1v . So it's safe to set at 2.7v .
    Set timings to cas 3 ,ras 3 ,trp 3 , tras 8 , CMD 2T.
    Pushing it firmly down in the dimm socket , sometimes it's not all the way down there even if the plastic lockers snap in.
    Disconnect all devices not needed for a windows install ,things can be added later.
    Have only the hd that os is to be installed to , one cdrom , floppy , memory and
    gfx card .
    Disconnect USB case front connector (cause corruption and strange faults if
    USBOC pin is connected)

  • Problem on boot MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

    I am an italian lover of MSI motherboards.
    After I bought a MSI KT3 Ultra Aru, then MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and now I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum.
    My hardware are:
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    Athlon 64 3200 Winchester
    Corsair XMS 1024 TWINX 3200 PLL
    Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 80 Gb
    Asus Radeon 9600XT.
    The problem is that at the power on the bios don't start. The LED on D-Bracket are three green and one red. On the manual this error are written:
    Inizializing Video Interface
    This will start detecting CPU clock, checking type of video onboard. Then, detect and initialize the video adapter.
    This problem is frequent for my motherboard. However not always.
    I attend your answer for this problem.
    Thank you for all and for my english school.

    Hi Italiano,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Have you details of your power supply. please show Maximum 3.3v,5v & 12v.
    These are usually on the side of the power unit.
    try:-
    1) Enter bios Cell Menu - HT change from 5 ---> 4 using +/- keys. Save & exit.
    If it still doesn't boot try:-
    2) Re-inserting your Asus Radeon 9600XT. Sometimes they don't go in correctly.
    3) See if you can boot with just 1 memory module in slot 1.
    Luck
