MSI K9AGM2-FIH & SPDIF sound problems

I have installed the SPDIF connector onto my motherboard. Booting into Vista I then install the drivers (I have tried both from MSI and Realtek direct, v1.73) both give me the option of setting Digital Output as my default audio - I do that. However, I get no sound from my amp even though I have a very good coaxial cable connecting the SPDIF card on the PC to my amp. I know the amp is working on the connection as I have used it for my DVD player.
What else do I have to do to get the SPDIF outputting sound? Thanks

I don't use Vista nor Realtek onboard sound. IMHO they both suck
Anyways, mine wasn't plugged in through SPDIF, I had it connected through VIDEO1 coaxial converted to minijack, plugged into my audigy 2 through the 3 ports in the back. (Front 2 Speakers Channel into 1 MiniJack, 2 Rear Speakers into 1, and Center/Sub into another.) I had mad issues with 5.1 though, it worked about half the time, but even when it worked it was not that great.
In looking at the volume settings in WinXP, if you double click volume icon on the taskbar, you get the play control box with all the volume settings, go to Options and click Properties make sure S/PDIF-out is checked, and click Ok, then make sure it's not muted and not all the way down on the volume bar. Also check to make sure you have it plugged into the Out and not the In (I've done it before! )
Check your amp for all settings related to coaxial/digital/analog, etc make sure the output through that cable is being recieved from another device, then switch it to your computer.
If nothing works, try turning off digital output only, check to see if there are any settings in the volume/sound configuration that pertain to S/PDIF output. I don't know the Realtek drivers too well, so I'm not sure where to begin but the sound properties in the control panel seem like the best place to start.

MSI K9AGM2-FIH HD audio

Hi.
I built MSI K9AGM2-FIH - motherboard - micro ATX - AMD 690G with an AMD 4000x2CPU 2GB ram and 256mb 7600 pci-e card
The problem that I am having it is the Realteck High Definition.
When I try to install it, it finds the software and tries to run it but the it says
"error occurred during installation of the device. The device's co-installer is invalid"
Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it.?
I have the latest drivers from msi
Thanks

I have now tried the reference driverQuote from: Hans on 28-August-07, 03:10:13
Did you try Realtek's reference driver? You can find it on their site: Realtek Guide by Backwoodz
but no joy, I did put the motherboard software in first.
Going to uninstall everything and try again.

MSI K9AGM2-FIH Freeze.

I have a friend without internet connection with the following setup:
MSI K9AGM2-FIH
XFX Geforce 8500GT 450M 256MB DDR2
Athlon 64 X2 4400+
400w PSU
Corsair Value PC5300 DDR2 2048 MB
Vista 32 Home SP1.
The Bios has not been updated since purchase in may 07.
The problem occures whenever he starts a movie in Mediaplayer or VLC, or runs Photoshop or any other graphic application.
The entire machine just freezes, he cannot even do a CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
Can this be fixed sith BIOS update, or cpuld it be something else?
Sincerely
D

The link you provided doesn't specify any details about the power supply. Bad sign. May I be the third in line to advice you to gat another one?
BIOS: sudden problems with a system are never caused by the bios. Only if you swap hardware, it can be a bios problem. Also, changing settings can cause trouble. But when you used a system for years and it starts acting up, it can't be the bios, not in this case.

K9AGM2-FIH Display Driver Problems

I'm trying to update the video drivers on my new K9AGM2-FIH motherboard. Everytime I try (with either the ones from ati or the ones from msi), the screen goes black right as it finishes. Then when it reboots, I have to go to previous best settings. My only display is a tv through s-video. I assume it's just setting the main display as something else. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

K9AGM2-FIH Code 10 Problem

Hey all,
I was forced to upgrade my video card and sound card with my K9AGM2-FIH MB. The video card in the PCI-E works fine, but my Sound Blaster X-FI device is getting "This Device cannot start (code 10)" in Windows XP Pro and Vista x64. I tried both slots, but say result. I know the sound card works, because I swapped it out with a known good spare. Anyone having issues with the PCI bus or know any tricks would help.
Thanks,
Josh

Do a cmos clear. It appears that the sound card is not being properly recognized either by the bios or operating system.
You can also uninstall the sound card in device manager and then reboot the computer to let the bios and operating system find it and install the drivers.

MSI K9AGM2-FIH power connections

I know this is a noob question but this my first time build for a board with 24 pin, I am used to building system with only 20 pins. Here it goes I have this msi board k9agm2-fih do still need to connect all the 24 pins power to the board? or it will do fine with only 20 pins?

yep need to catch up with newer technologies... oh i forgot to mention that i have new power supply with 24pins, so do i still need to connect the 24pins to the board? what is the "JPW1" power connector to the board? I found out that this board has a JPW1 connector that says "This 12V power connector JPW1 is used to provide power to the CPU." do i still need to connect power to the JPW1 connector? or connect the 20pins to the board then detach the 4 pins and connect to the JPW1 connector?

VIA MSI KT880 Delta series - sound problem

In winxp all is fine. But when i'm starting a game like CS 1.6 something happens. I can hear some noise (silent cracks) and the game sounds have a cybernetic aftersound. After a few minutes sound totaly downs and only system restarts helps :/

I see you don't have too much hard ware that could go wrong. It used to be important to have a sound cable attached between the CD and the sound card. This shouldn't be necessary, remove it if you got it. I don't know your games, so I don't know if you use a CD, or if you play on the Internet.
Apart from this, sound problems mostly have to do with Windows.
Off: Aha, Osnavi, you thought I'd say SoundBlaster! Other problems, maybe, but I can't complain about the sound quality.

MSI KT6 Delta-L sound problems

Hi, I have an annoying problem. My sound gets disorted and after one or two seconds I get a Blue Screen..
This only seems to happend with Operation Flashpoint Resistance and Lock On Air Combat (both uses a lot of memory). Computer is rock stabile unless this.
I have tried both Win2k/XP and flashing my BIOS to the most rescent one, as well as the drivers.. I have also tried without the PCI-cards, and disabled some features at the motherboard, but with no help.
But when I used Via AC97 drivers instead of C-Media, it crash no more (aswell as no sound drivers at all), but I have no surround sound (I suppose that driver don't support my sound chip fully)...
Ok, know to my specs,

MSI RS480M2-IL onboard sound problem

Hello,
i bought a computer with the MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard and i'm having some problems with the onboard sound - i hear small interferences. Updated drivers and noise still continued. Took it to the store and they said they didn't detect anything wrong with the onboard soundcard or motherboard configuration. I ruled out electrical interferences because when i'm not listening to anything or playing, even with the sound at maximum, you don't hear the crackles. Also tried it with different sound system and they were still there. I have a friend that told me that the onboard sound is never clear. I have uploaded some files where you can hear the interferences. Do you think this is normal for an onboard card and if i want better, i should buy a soundcard or do you think they better exchange the motherboard? I read in some forums that the onboard sound of this motherboard crackles - i think the sound heard below can qualify as that and that i should buy a better soundcard to play my games, right? Thanks for your attention!

Edit: These are the drivers and versions of the audio (driver version wasn't updated yet in this pic)

Yes.....I saw that too. In my opinion, it an error in the description. The Realtek site has all the info on that a3.75 set. On your prior post you asked about install procedure. You're correct. Uninstall the old set using Add/Remove programs in Control Panel and run Setup on the new package to install.
FYI.....I'm on broadband connection and can EMail large files. If that new set fails, I could zip and Email you that old A3.67 set. However, it's over 14MB in size (I checked), so you need an EMail account that can accept that large an attachment. Let me know by Private Message in the Forum with EMail address. I'll be in and out the rest of the day, so I may not get a chance to send until later.
I'm also wondering if MSI has a server with legacy drivers that the moderators could check and provide link. Download would be much easier solution on everyone with this problem.
Let's see if the newest drivers work first.

Edit: Read this thread and it should make you feel better.

As you can see, I also encountered (along with others) the problem with the A3.72 set that's on your CD. At least it's fixable. Hang in there.

MSI GX701 Keyboard resonance sound problem

Greetings. I bought an MSI GX701 notebook two weeks ago, and I have the problem, that when I'm listening to music, playing games, ergo when any sound is played at medium to high volume a very disturbing resonating sound can be heard. I found out, that this sound is produced by the resonance of mainly the space, left shift, caps lock and tab buttons. I phoned to the hungarian MSI service to ask wether it is normal, or it is a unique problem, and they said in a phlegm tone, that it is normal because of the 4+1 speakers, and it occures at every notebook of this model, and does not have any sense go to the service with the laptom, because they can't do anything, and won't swap my product to another one.
Has anyone noticed this problem who had the same type or does anyone have any idea about that symptom?
Thanks, Imre.

Correct (as far as I am aware). Gave my GX600 a quick look over, and I can only find two speakers, apparently there is some form of inbuilt bass driver in the laptop but I'm yet to hear much bass at all.
if your issue is a symptom of all laptops of that model, then that is incredibly frustrating, because RMA would A, not apply, and B, not fix the issue.
I would recommend the obvious, using external speakers/headphones, and after (and only) that, I would recommend some form of ghetto-resonance killer (blu tac, heh).

MOVED: MSI K8T Neo2 Onboard Sound Problem

This topic has been moved to AMD64 ATI/SiS/VIA based board.

About the exclamation marks:
Goto Device Manager -> View -> Show hidden devices (enable)
Goto the multimedia-section (where the exclamation marks are) and uninstall all devices marked with an exclamation mark LEAVE THE OTHERS!
==> Note: if you see two of the same installed devices of which one is installed wrongly (excl. mark) and the other is grayed out, uninstall them both. Note to leave all other things, like codecs, alone. If you don't, you ruin your Windows <==
Now, reboot Windows and when the hardware install wizard pops up, cancel that and install the audio drivers manually.
Then the JAUD-pin header: open your case. The JAUD pins are at the bottom left of your board. JAUD1 should be printed next to it. It looks like this:
o o o x o
o o o o o
The x is the place where a pin is missing. now, both pins next to that one should be connected with a jumper
o o | o |
o o | o |
The two | show the pins to be connected.

Do you have LiveUpdate installed (or whatever it is called)? When I was using the onboard sound (moved to an Audigy2 ZS) the sound would go once Live Update had searched the web for available BIOS/Driver updates. I only had mine set weekly but sods law meant that I ended up with no sound for a Rugby World cup I had recorded on my AIW pro (aaaarrgghh). It would only come back with a reboot.

MSI K9AGM2-FIH: PCIe x1 card in PCIe x16 slot

Am trying to get a PCIe x1 2-Port Sil3132 SATA Controller to work in a x16 slot
system boots without any problems, the card is found, and it shows up when booting
but here is the problem, windows wont boot, when i remove the card from the x16 slot it boots fine
windows is run via the onboard sb600
x1, x4, x8 cards should work in a x16 slot just fine, after with i have heard

Question, why do you want to use that card?
Also, it might be possible that drive-letters change in Windows, so it can't boot anymore.
Try booting with the Windows Boot-cdrom, load the Sil driver and see what letters you get.
You might need to change the boot.ini
