No audio in Win 7 K9N4 SLI (MS-7325) with latest Realtek driver

I am running an K9N4 SLI (MS-7325) motherboard and cannot get sound to play in Windows 7 or Ubuntu 11.10. In Win 7, my driver is: 6.0.1.6305
Windows says there are no conflicts and everything is fine but I don't hear anything out of my headphone. Any ideas or direction? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies... I have not tried reverting to an older driver since the only drivers available on the official website are only for Windows 2000 and older. According to the current driver, I have it in the Line Out jack on the back... I do not have any jacks in the front for line out audio.

MSI K9n2 SLI Platinum with RAID-1

at first my Stuff:
Hardware:
Main: MSI K9n2 SLI Platinum
graphics: GeForce GTX 280
HD: 2 x WDC WD10 01FALS 1GB (S-ATA)
Software:
NVIDIA Systemcontrol Version 2.2.390.00
NVIDIA nForce RAID Controller Driver Version: 10.3.0.42
Windows Vista x64 Professional
I configured the RAID Stuff with the (RAID) BIOS without any problems (RAID-1). Windows works finde but after some restarts something is destroying the RIAD bundle.
Windows recognize the second drive as a stand alone and keeps the first in the "MIRROR" drive. (so i see every partition twice). In the case I repair the bundle, it works for two restart and the same happens again.
some ideas?
thanks

well .. it just seemed to be the solution.
now, in the case I restart the system.. it works fine for a couple of minutes or maybe hours..
but then, the system's going to freeze.. windows stay but in the case i wan't to read or write from or to harddisk .. the mean software crash
i'm tryin' to plug of the second drive and hope it will work...
are there any known problems?
i should try another mainboard ... thats going to be boring

MSI P7n Sli-Fi + Q9650 OC issues

Alrighty, well i cant seem to get this combination stable here are the specs.
MB - msi p7n sli fi
CPU - q9650
RAM - 4gigs of Corsair Dominator pc-8500
Video - 2 Sli nvidia gts250
at 3ghz on average through Intel Burn Test the q9650 will pull 23gflops, when overclocked to 3.7ghz it will pull 27 this seems as a sign of instability. Battlefield Bad Company 2 will crash occasionally but it will pass 20passes of IBT and 5hours of prime95 blend.
settings for 3.7ghz (1666fsb x 9)
cpu vcore + .0250(2 ticks above 0) = 1.275-1.29v seems to have massive v-droop
Dram 833mhz voltage 1.95v 6-6-6-18 2t
what is it that is making the clock unstable, the board wont even post at 1600fsb 800mhz ram seems to be a FSB hole =\

I recommend you read the following guide. It may not be the same board, but it covers all the necessary angles to test your components individual capabilities.

MSI 990FXA-GD80 (MS-7640) Raid issues

I'm trying to reinstall my windows 7 64 bit on my MSI 990FXA-GD80 (MS-7640) in raid mode. When I'm in the installer and try to add the raid drivers it lists my controller but then BSODs right after loading the driver and yes I used the driver from the MB CD not to mention a number of others. One thing I noticed is that the drivers I found didn't exactly match the option ROM version on my board (3.3.1540.14) closest I found was either .13 or .17. Also when I went into the raid setup and tried to make a JBOD it spit out an error message saying I needed to select two disks to do that operation????? I work with a lot of different raid adapters and I've not seen that one
So any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

MSI X99S SLI Plus Persistant Boot Issue

I upgraded my system 4 months ago with an X99S SLI Plus, i7 5820, GTX780, Avexir Platinum 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 RAM
The boot procedure has never been problem free and has now settled into the following sequence
1 Press START
2 Freezes at MSI Logo or Windows start
3 Press RESET
4 Windows REPAIR/START as NORMAL screen appears
5 Select NORMAL
6 Windows starts and thereafter runs without problems
Usually steps 2 to 5 have to be repeated one or more times
Very occasionally it will boot straightaway
I use W7 64 and have BIOS 1.5
All drivers are up to date
I use OC Genie which overclocks to 3.8. These problems occur whether OC Genie is enabled or not.
If I use SLEEP rather than SHUTDOWN it will restart without any problems.
Any assistance with this annoying problem would be appreciated.
PS Not sure if this is related, but the XMP option doesn't appear next to the OC Genie button though the RAM is described as XMP enabled

test it with 1 memory stick only, see if the issue will still exist when you do this

MSI K9N4 SLI with Athlon X2 6000+

I just built a new systems with this motherboard and processor with 2Gb Geil DDR2 800 memory. For some reason the CPU performance is terrible. The WEI (with all of its limitations) is only 4.5 so I when and checked the Sandra score and it benchmarks < an X2 4200. I have stock optimum BIOS settings.
What am I doing wrong?

I just migrated from to a new motherboard and processor. The old motherboard was a socket 939 EVGA SLI microATX motherboard with a FX-55. The Windows vista recognized the motherboard change and I reinstalled the Nvidia chipset drivers. It seemingly came off without a glitch.
I wonder how the upgrade would have resulted in poor processor performance. The Sandra benchmarks seem to confirm the problem.

RAM for K9N4 SLI (MS-7325)

I already had two gigs (1x2) of RAM installed on my computer. So today, I went out and bought two more gigs (1x2) of Corsair DDR2 PC6400 (800MHz) RAM. I had to have one of the people at Tiger Direct help me decide which to buy (I didn't know exactly which to grab...), and that's what he said I could use. Well, I installed the memory (thus totaling to 4 gigs), but when I checked Vista's system information, I still only had exactly 2 gigs installed. Did I do something wrong, or is my memory just incompatible? If it doesn't work, what should I do to boost my system up to 4 gigs? I really appreciate the help!

Read >>Posting Guide<< {We need full details about your system}
"Well, I installed the memory (thus totaling to 4 gigs), but when I checked Vista's system information, I still only had exactly 2 gigs installed. "
Double check that all memory sticks are filled well into DIMM slots.
Check how much are detected during BIOS post. Also:
Get and run CPU-Z{ http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz_145.zip } and check the installed memory.

MSI K9N4 SLI - Network problem

i'm new here, and there's a lot i don't know, so i hope i can find an answer here
i've got this Motherboard for quite some time now, but lately i'm having this problem
every now and then, the network gets disconnected (the lil' green light turns off)
i tried conecting an Encore Wireles pci card and also with an ethernet one, but it's not always recognized by the system (most of the time it doesn't)
i was working with Windows XP and updated to Windows 7, reinstalling all drivers but the problem persist
what could be going on?

K9N4 SLI: Support of 3 GB in dual channel

Hello,
This is a great forum
I've a MSI K9N4 SLI (MSI 7325), AMD Athlon 64 x2 3600+ oced to 4000+ and two stick of one gb of ram.
Each module is inserted in different channels.
I want to add a new module of 1 gb ram, so my system will have 3 GB in total. So my question is: If I add a new module, will the memory work in single or dual channel? If yes or not, will at least work in single channel?
My system score 4,9 as processor and 5,9 memory. I'm using Vista x64 and all works good but I need a little more speed.
Thanks!

If even can works will be in single.
Use 1,2 or 4 memory modules.
For best performance and troubles free use 2x matched memory sticks only.

K9N4-SLI video question

I'm real close to buying the MSI K9n4-SLI-F MB. I dl'ed the manual and it seams to say that the PCIE 16x slots are only supported at 8X speed. I understand if that is true while in SLI, but is the 1st slot running at 16x with one vid card?
Thanks

Happy to help. It should make a nice Christmas gift for him.

But I still want to know what the problem is. The board turns on, the fan on the board spins and everything else seems to work, why wouldn't I get a screen?
Well you have to swap some parts to find out.
Do you hear any beeps?
What D-Bracket shows?
Have you Clear CMOS Guide as suggested?
What is the newest PSU which you have tested?

K9N4 SLI with AMD Athlon 6400+ X2 - Damage to CPU???

Hello everybody...I have a very quick question. I purchase an AMD Ahtlon 6400+ X2 processor and the MSI K9N4 SLI motherboard not knowing that they are incompatible. I didn't find this out until I had installed the CPU, RAM and PCI-E video card, powered up and didn't get a boot or POST. It's alittle frustrating and I've made arrangements to swap the motherboard for one that is compatible. However my concern here is any damage that may have occurred to the processor in doing this. Does anyone know whether this would have caused any permanent damage to the CPU or any other component? Any response would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Just to let you know, i too made the same mistake back in February 2008. i got the same board and the same processor and it also would not boot. However, luckily I did have my old processor to got back to and i installed it and then I flashed the BIOS to 1.4 and then reinstalled the 6400 CPU. I have been running my PC for nearly a year now and have had no problems. So I doubt it caused any damage.

K9N2 SLi Platinum - Raid Issues

Components:
Enermax Pro82+ 525W
MSI K9N2 SLi Platinum
AMD 5400+ Black Edition
2x2Gb SUPER*TALENT DDRII 800Mhz CL4
MSI 8800GT 512mb
1 X WD Blue 500Gb Sata2
2 x WD Blue 320GB Sata2 (NEW SET)
Basically, I've had only the 500Gb HD as the main disk, Now I've got a set of 320GB's for Raid, which i'd like to add to my current setup without Re-installing OS coz the main drive contains necessary Data etc. So I Enable the Raid settings in Bios as outlined in the Manual. Setup the raid in the Mediashield Raid Bios. Windows Vista 32 simply Bsods at the Windows loading screen, with latest MB RAID drivers from MSI & Nvidia tested, still the same.
I've discovered in other threads, people experiencing something similar. According to what I've learnt is the best is going to have to Set the single 500Gb Drive into a stripe and re-install. I've tried other alternatives, like leaving the the 320's as single drives and setting up the raid through windows Mediashield, same problem after rebooting. Compared to My older rig, RAID seems to not work so starightforward on the K9N2. MSI should be more Specific with instructions and limitations to implementing a Raid.
That's not my biggest problem here though, I've disconnected the 500Gb due to critical data, I've only got the 320's in Ports 1 & 2. Setup Stripe raid in Bios. I cannot succesfully install Windows Vista or XP to the raid, Vista install remains stuck @ the decompressing files window. XP loads until it's about to boot the OS for the first time then Bsods. Using latest Floppy Raid Drivers too. Has anyone with this board got a Raid with OS installed? Am i missing something here? what am I doing wrong?
I'm still Testing, gonna pull out my Aged and beloved Hitachi 80Gb Sata1 Drive from the dead, install OS and then get this baby to work in Raid as I want it to, Hopefully......
Will report back..

The RAID implementation on this board is really obnoxious, if you have installed windows (XP/VISTA) prior to enabling RAID in the motherboard bios, windows will keep restarting itself at the windows load screen. Not an OS problem but the way the RAID controllers work on this motherboard.
My raid setup:
1 X WD 500GB BLUE (System C:\)(Single Stripe)(HAS TO BE IN IT'S OWN ARRAY IN MEDIASHIELD ROM for windows to work if RAID IS ENABLED)
2 X WD 320GB BLUE (Raid 0)(Stripe)
1 X LG Optical Drive (Also shows up in Mediashield post screen when Raid controller is ensbled)
Make sure to back up all data before setting up an array, setting up a array on a single HDD and selecting NOT to delete the MBR should keep your data intact. Booting up the system with the previous installation not deleted but now with the system HDD in it's own array you will continue to get BSOD and auto reboots.
V3.3 Bios Settings:
1) Set 'RAID MODE' to 'RAID" within the Integrated Peripherals Menu.
2)Enable 'RAID' in the Sub-Menu "ON-CHIP ATA DEVICES" --> RIAD MODE set to RAID then enable the ports you want Raid enabled on. SATA 1.2.3.4 are NV raid 5.6 are JMICRON. I have have ports 1,2,3 & 4 enabled as all 4 of my drives are connected to those ports. Optical drives will automatically show up in Mediashield ROM post screen even if port is disabled, and once windows is reinstalled other HDD'S can be connected without having to enable raid or arrays and all will be seen as normal.
Now to install windows, had an issue with the Floppy raid drivers from MSI site so I used the MCP78 floppy from gigabyte
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=2819. Windows working and Raid 0 on 2X 320GB HDD. Once windows is installed to a single disk in this manner windows will work fine with sata raid disabled (deleting array in mediashield will delete MBR) and in IDE mode as but when raid is re-enabled it will detect the disk and work fine too. Another issue unresolved is that I couldn't successfully install to the Raid 0-2X WD 320gb blue stripe, anybody got windows installed successfully to a Raid 0-2X hdd stripe? Note, If installing to Jmicron you will need JM drivers.
Another issue I have since using Raid is that S3 mode is not working well at all. S3 is enabled in Bios power management and definitely worked previously when raid was disabled. Now I cannot get S3 suspend. When i choose sleep it goes into Hibernation, checked all vista settings in power management and it should go to sleep not hibernate. Any Help? When it comes out of sleep all the lights are red and I have to power it down, turn power supply off/on then post-> 'windows resuming' then only does it come out of hibernation, strange... Whether I choose sleep or hibernate this is what I'm getting. Using Vista 32, Nvidia driver version 15.24, display driver version 180.48. Jmicron drivers installed as well.
Components:
Enermax Pro82+ 525W
MSI K9N2 SLi Platinum
AMD 5400+ Black Edition
2x2Gb SUPER*TALENT DDRII 800Mhz CL4
2x1Gb SUPER*TALENT DDRII 800Mhz CL4
MSI 8800GT OC 512mb
1 X WD Blue 500Gb Sata2
2 x WD Blue 320GB Sata2 (NEW SET)
1 X LG Dvd-Rw
Hope this helps & thanks in advance.
