MSI K8T NEO and Logitech keyboard problem

I have a Logitech Internet Navigator keyboard with all these mediakeys.
I'm using the onboard soundcard and the optical öutput on the board, but when I'm using the volume keys on the keyboard the volume dosn't change at all.
If I raise the Master volume in the sound control panel, nothing happens. Master volume has NO effekt, only the MUTE. But if i use the volume sliders for WAVE, I can control the sound again. The problem is that the keyboard is raising the MASTER volume in Windows, so my mediakeys has no effekt anymore.
Does anyone have the same problem or is it only a problem for the optical output?? I have tried installing keyboard and drivers in any possible combination just to be sure it wasn't me. Could this be a driver issue or am I missing something.

Just want to know if someone using the onboard sound and a keyboard has same problem as I I will try you tips later today to make sure it's no me who's making the error
I have the same keyboard, mobo +cpu as you and i have also enabled the soundcard so i dont think thats the issue. I'am waiting for your response hopefully you have solved it already.

  • MSI K8T Neo 2 FISR Memory problems....

    Could someone please help me  
    I have a MSI K8T Neo 2 mobo, with 500w powersupply, AMD 64 3500+, and 4 sticks of 512mb PC3200 ram (not all installed).
    2 of my sticks were bought from PC world as PC3200 DDR400 ram.
    The other 2 are Nanya 512mb PC3200 DDR400 ram.
    I ONLY NEED TO USE 2 OF THESE STICKS.
    This motherboard was chosen so that i could run DUAL channel.
    However when running memory in slots 1 and 3 as manual suggests, the pc crashes when playing games. If i run 1 stick in slot 1 it happily runs all day long.
    I have tried running memory in slots 1 and 2 but only making a frequency of 157.1mhz. See screenshot of CPU-Z:
    MY MEMORY CONFIG
    Surely this should be 200Mhz?
    Basically i can only make 200mhz using a single stick and no joy with dual channel.

    Don't know if this will help
    You probably already know about this......

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r xp install problem

    I tried to install xp on my sata drive..i downloaded the raid drivers and put them on a floppy, it accepts the raid drivers (im not trying to use raid, just regular sata), and i select the hard drive and attempt to install to it, but the files from my xp cd keep saying something about invalid image has been installed to your hard disk (or a similar message to that)
    also part of the time the comp will not boot properly, it will just beep on and hang and nothing will show to the monitor, or if i have a disc in my cdrom when i try to turn it on it wont turn on, but then when i take out the disc and reboot the comp it turns on again..no clue what might be going on..

  • Msi k8n neo platinum ps2 keyboard problem

    Hi. I'm having issues with my msi k8n neo platinum motherboard. I've read about 50 posts on these forums regarding the supposed ps2 keyboard issues with recent msi boards. However none of them seems to address my current situation.
    Like many  others, when I power up my system the cpu fan spins for like 3 seconds then everything comes to a halt.
    I tried many things to get my system to boot and the only thing that works is plugging my ps2 keyboard into the ps2 mouse port and moving the ps2 mouse into a usb port with an adapter.
    It seems there's no hope for fixing the problem other than RMA'ing, but I thought I would add to the pile of complaints stacking up against the MSI boards.

    if u had read the threads a little more u might have found a solution that seems to have worked 4 many - a usb keyboard usb Keyboard if u go this route dont forget to enable usb kb in bios
    Edit: This Thread Summarises the situation PS2 keyboard/mouse causes random shutdowns or doesnt work      

  • MSI K8T Neo and Mushkin 3200 Level II

    I have read some of the posts about RAM and the K8T Neo, but I want some of your opinions on this. I have a 3200+ Athlon64 on the K8T and I am trying to use a 512MB DIMM of PC3200 Mushkin Level II in the board. The only other cards plugged into the board are the MSI D-Bracket (not the USB part, only the diagnostic part) and a Gainward Geforce 4 Ti4600. Usually I cannot even get the board to post with the Mushkin 3200 in the board. I have a stick of Muskin 2700 Level II and the board works fine with it using the Auto settings and I have even installed Windows XP using this memory. Whenever I try using the 3200, the D-Bracket freezes at the early chipset initilization. I have put the PC3200 stick in a Nforce2 board and the OS boots fine with no problems.
    So is the problem the PC3200 or the board or both? Is the RAM not up to spec so it cannot handle the heftier requirements of the K8 but will work in the Nforce2 or can the board not handle/configure the better memory? Opinions?

    Good question. I bought them from New Egg around the beginning of the year. They have black heatsinks on them so it is really hard to tell. 5 or 6, I can't tell and wouldn't want to try to take them off at this point.
    My experience with them was that I was running the ram in the bios with the default settings and was unable to completely install WinXP without problems/errors. After making the one change from 2 to 3 in the timings (noted earlier), every thing installed fine.
    After updating to the 1.20 bios, I had a heck of a time getting into the bios. I thought I had hosed it. Then I realized that the bios set my RAM back to the default settings. One change and everything was fine again. NOTE: I still have an issue with both JUSB connectors being used and a random stop/hang/lock-up in the bios, but that is another issue.
    I have run both the Prime95 test for 9 hours with no errors and also memtest86+ with no problems either.
    Either way, I hope this helps you and anyone else.

  • MSI k8T Neo and the Leadtek A400GT GeForce 6800GT

    I have a K8T neo, unmodified northbridge, and was curious if anyone has slapped the Leadtek geforce 6800GT in this board and had any issues with it fitting?  Thinking about purchasing.  Thanks.   

    Quote from: Ui30 on 19-May-05, 18:54:24
    Don't see why it wouldn't work.
    But (of topic ...): why die GF6800? What I understand is that there may be some compatibility isues between nVidia GPU's and VIA-chipsets. Maybe you want to think about buying the ATi X800 card - so you won't have these issues. (Sorry, I don't know the exact details - it's what someone on the Duytch forum mentioned. I think it was Quadrifolio Verde, who is active on this board as well).
    If I have any more issues whatsoever with this motherboard, I'm junking it.  I have no heard of the issues with Nivida and VIA, thanks for the heads up.  As for why the GF6800, it's the fastest card at the price point I'm looking at.  I need something quick to drive high resolutions on an LCD.

  • Probs with k8t neo and radeon 9500 non pro

    Hi!
    I´m totaly new with amd and i got a msi k8t neo and a sempron 2800+ with 1gb memory and a saphire radeon 9500 non pro and the computer does not start with that graphiccard.The processor fan just spins up a bit then it dies. But with a gforce 5200 card the computer works fine. I have tryed the saphire card in my server with a P4 1,6ghz and on that motherboard it works just fine.
    Im from sweden so my english is not the best ;-)

    Quote from: qTj on 17-November-05, 20:25:05
    Yes i have tryed all those things. But my card works perfectly in 2 diffrent computers. So i dont think that the vidccard is broken.. But what do i know...
    Well you know that othergfx cards do work oin ur board, so I still say you RMA it, or swap if with another card that will work

  • [Athlon64] TV tuner problems on MSI k8t neo

    Hello,
     I used TV@nywhere Master. Since beginning it worked.
    After graphic card reclamation (MSI GeForce 6800 LE) I tried another graphic cards (at first Legend 64 [1 MB, PCI], later Riva TNT 2 vanta [16 MB, AGP], GeForce 5600 VIVO [128 MB, AGP]). With this Legend graphic card at first my PC beeps for a while, but Windows XP started (even without graphic drivers). I tried another graphic cards (with correct graphic drivers), but since then there was no video on my TV tuner (channels were recognized, sound was possible to hear, but only black screen). I got new GeForce 6800 LE card, but the problem was the same also with this card.
    I reinstalled windows XP several times, but always with the same behavior.
    Maybe similar as it is mentioned here:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=27537.msg158205#msg158205 (TV@nywhere Master sound but only black picture.)
    I tested TV tuner at my friend's PC and it worked, so TV tuner is not broken.
    So I bought new TV tuner card (Sapphire theatrix 550), but this card was not even detected under Windows device manager.
    When I tried to install ATI drivers, I got BSOD and my PC was restarted.
    (there was no problem at my friend's PC [athlon xp 2200, nforce 2 chipset])
    Is it problem with PCI slots of my motherboard?
    My system:
    MSI k8t neo (k8t800 chipset)
    Athlon 64-3000+
    512 MB DDR
    MSI GeForce 6800 LE
    Windows XP SP2

    Just to note:
    there was also problem with network (not detected).
    Reclamation was necessary.
    There was no similar problem with returned motheboard.

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r problems part 3

    sometimes when the computer is turned on it just turns the fans and leds on but doesnt boot up...
    most of the time it loads up and i boot to the windows xp cd and i install the drivers for sata and then when it reaches the point of copying the files it will give me a bsod and say that there is a problem with the irql driver and then force me to shut the pc down..
    sometimes it makes it past that and will begin to copy files onto the hard drive, like somehow the data is becoming corrupted..however it will start to say that the files cant copy randomly and it will allow me to retry..they will copy the 2nd time usually..i can keep hitting retry and it will usually go by..it gets to 30 something % and then crashes to bsod just giving me some random error..for some reason the files keep screwing up that go on the sata drive....I just replaced the old power supply that wasnt working with an antec true watt 430 watt power supply, so i know it isnt that..
    i just cant figure out what the heck is going on..any help would be appreciated.my specs are
    "IRQ NOT EQUAL OR LESS"

    sapphire radeon 9800 pro 128 mb 8x agp

    fyi look an your cd sticker ity will show power, consumption, but they are way lower than you would think, hard drives,can be only 10 watts, less then some case lights , and fans, cd are  similar.. your video, is the biggy somewhere between 90~150 watts..yikes .next to the cpu..and the mobo can use 50 or so (not sure about new mobos)  not to mention the ram 1024 is @40 watts or so., dont forget about 25watts per pci card, not counting the sound card which can be double....
    ergo the need for a big psu..
    the combined total ratting on a psu is not the max number that the psu is rated, that is surge value.. so a 500 may only hold 400 sustained , and that will drop as the machine heats up, so in the end your 500 may onlyy pull 366 @50'c...

  • Problems with OC in MSI K8T Neo FIS2R!!!

    Hi!
    I have faced problems when making OC in my Athlon 64 3400+. I do not obtain to increase the FSB for 213Mhz more than without that they occur stopped or reset. I am using 1Gb (2x512) of Ram (Corsair CMX 3200LL PRO).
    In the internet many stories exist that chip VIA K8T800 is not good for OC, because the AGP/PCI cannot be stopped with fixed values.
    Exists some form to obtain with stability in this Mobo one overclock descent, with FSB of at least 220Mhz? The lack of stability in overclock limits the processor very, what it finishes in forcing to who knows to abandon the K8T Neo, passing to a Mobo that uses Nforce3 250, for example.
    If somebody will be able to help with tips to try one overclock for FSB in 220mhz with stability would be very grateful, friends!

    Take your sata drive off and you can overclock higher. There is no PCI/AGP lock so the speeds are affecting your sata drive. 210 mhz. system clock is about the limit before the sata drives start to act up.
    The problem is with that particular VIA chipset. No way around it has been found to work in a practical manner.

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R (Socket 754) and Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 Kit (2x512MB)

    Hi I just ordered the following from overclockers.co.uk and wanting some confirmation that the memory will be compatible with this Mother board
    Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 Kit (2x512MB) and MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R
    Thanks
    Kevin

    kevtucker,     
    I'm running the same setup up as you and have not experienced any ram related problems so far. I'm happy with it and it is very stable.
    Every ram has different settings. For the corsair 1gb value select (2x512mb) you must make sure you use these settings for the best results:
    put them in slots 1 and 3.
    use the settings 2.5-3-3-8
    set the ddr voltage 2.7
    I got that information straight from the official corsair forums:

  • AMD64 3200 + MSI K8T Neo FISR2 memory problem

    I've had one KVR400X64C25/512 and it have worked like a charm. Now I've bought another one (total 1gb).
    When I've inserted it and start the computer I only get the CoreCell logo scren, it do not boot correctly.
    AMIBIOS is version 3.21a
    I've tried the following:
    * run only the new memory [works]
    * run only the old memory [works]
    * DIMM1 + DIMM3 [only CoreCell screen]
    * DIMM1 + DIMM2 [only CoreCell screen]
    * DIMM2 + DIMM3 [only a black screen]
    what should I do?

    A PSU is rated to run at +/-5% and that is well within it's rating. As for wether ists big enough there is no way we can say as you still did not give full system specs.
    If it won't run with the third stick of RAM then pull it out for the moment and see if the system will boot again. If it does then during post you will see a Bios version listed. That board only supports Bios versions to 2.2 at the moment so please also list what actuall Bios version you have.
    Ok, have booted with one instead of two sticks (one works, two don't, do not have three sticks)..
    AMIBIOS A6702VMS v2.2 released 030405. The autodetect settings (at startup): Clock = 400Mhz, CAS 2.5 which seems correct.

  • [Athlon64] Electromagnetic Interference on my MSI K8T Neo 2 FIR MBO

    I have a system built around a MSI K8T Neo 2 FIR Athlon64 3000+
    Recently I've put a poratable TV near the PC (1.5 meters or so) and noticed quite strong interference on VHF TV channels.
    First I thought that it came from the case itself, but I discovered that the interference practically dissapeared when I unplugged the PS2 keyboard.
    So I thought that it was the keyboard and bought another basic PS2 Logitech one. No difference at all.
    Then I bought a USB cheapo keyboard, only to find out that the interference doubled, at least.
    I tested the interference with my TV, using the room "antenna", actually a coaxial cable plugged in the antenna socket of the TV with the other emd free, and the central vire just physically clamped with a metallic "crocodile" clamp. A loop on that side and this is the best room antenna money can buy!
    I approached the end loop to the keyboard and its cord. I showed an extraordinary amount od unterference. the TV image turned to snow and the sound started hissing.
    My guess is that the Keyboard acts like an antenna for the MBO and transmists interference to the outside, probably trought the voltage line.
    Or I could have flawed keyboards, but tree... and PS2 AND USB!?
    My power supply is not in question. I tried two, high quality ones of different producers - no difference at all.
    Anybody had similar interference experience with this or other MSI boards?
    Did you succeed to solve it?
    I often read that LCD monitors are better for your health because they radiate less, but I tested my old CRT monitor, and it produces much less EM interference than my keyboards!!!
    Any Ideas? Bad MBO?

    What does that option "spread spectrum" do?
    I have Bios 3.3 (I think), I will check if I have this option at all at reboot. I can't remember seeing it?
    The interference is not affecting the monitor,which is LCD, but a small TV set, 1.5 meters away from the PC.
    IT is not coming from the case (which has no transparent side) but from the keyboard(s) and keyboard wires (both USB and PS2 keyboards produce inteference).
    I tested it precisely with a coaxial cable acting like an antenna with a looop at the end and a simple crocodile clamp fixed on the central wire (this produces a very ensitive antenna witch can precisely pinpoint the source of interference. When I approach the loop of he coaxial cable to the keyboard it produces strong "snow" on the TV image and a hissing sound (The TV is set to a local VHF TV station).
    So I guess that the keyboard is acting like an antenna , leading interference from the Mainboard out.
    I did a little search on the internet and it s amazing how many people with various computers have interference problems from keyboards.
    Information comes mainly from radio amateurs who use computers to control sophisticated radio equippment and suffer interference in their reception.
    I bet that many people have it and not being radio amateurs or not having a TV near their PC they are not aware of it. Many of you reading this probably have electomagnetic emissions emanating from your keyboards.
    But what worries me in this story is that these electromagnetic radiations are not exactly healthy.
    I bought a new LCD monitor precisely because I read in many magazines that LCDs radiate less than CRTs. But since it appears that my keaboard is radiating much more than my old CRT, it kind of defeats the purpose...
    These things shouldn't happen because computer components, MBOs included, should comply with FCC standards (class B) and a keyboard should not act as an emitting antenna for  electromagnetic interference from the mainboard. But it seems that many manufacturers are not really complying with EMI/RFI standards.
    This seams to be a very weak point for many computer components, from what I saw on the internet after some Googling.
    Some guy even tested all the computer equipment in his company and found out that 90% were not FCC standards compliant, even if they claimed they were !!!
    Needless to say that I am not happy, and should it appear that MSI is to blame for my problem, they will hear from me.
    I will try some other keyboards, some top of the line this time, made in Germany not in Taiwan. If they produce the same interference, then I will be sure that this is MSI's fault and that the interference is not produced in the keyboard itself but just transmitted to it from the mainboard.

  • Calling all old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users

    Ops i posted this in the wrong forum first time, this is the right place
    This for all MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users, that have changed to the new MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250 mobo, if I have the chance to swap to the new board should I do so, or does this mobo have its fair share of problems?
    Is the MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250, a better board compared to the old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R? Not taking into account overclocking.
    Like is the onboard sound the same or worse or better in your opinion? Is it any faster at stock? Are there any other advantages?
    Thx Xe

    I had a K8T Neo Fis2r at first.  I got a K8N Neo because I believed my Blue Screens were a faulty K8T Neo.  As it turned out, the Audigy2 I had in there was the problem, because I still got Blue Screens with the K8N Neo, and when I took out the audigy and used onboard my system ran stable.
    I havent had any of the apparent keyboard controller problems, or ANY other problems with the K8N.  My only instabilities have been the Audigy2's fault.
    Havent tried overclocking on the K8N Neo yet, maybe a little down the road.  As far as features go, the K8N has the hardware firewall on it (which I dont use) but apparently its "true" gigabit ethernet is better than the K8Ts.  Dont ask me to clarify that, lol
    btw Got my turtle beach Santa Cruz today and put it in my K8N Neo, crossing my fingers... =\
