MSI Kt4 Ultra - Sound on Board

Hello, I have a problem with my onBoard sound.
Sry for my english, I am german.
I have a SB Live Volue soundcard and i want to install it, but when i deactivate the onBoard sound i cant't delete the drivers from it.
Pls, help, how can I deactivate the Sound-on-board, and install my other soundcard right ?
Pls, when someone is German here, write in german.
thx.

Yes, I disabled it in "Integrated Peripherals" the "Serial ATA Controller" and the "Audio Controller".
Is there someone more, I have to disable ?!
Or have I to deactivate it on the mainboard, too ?!
And how can I delete the drivers from Windows ?!
This drivers are:
Audiocodecs
Legacy-Audiotreiber
Mediensteuerungsgerät
Vidiocodecs
I have Windows XP and Win2k, because I use Partition Magic and Boot Magic.

No optical-out sound on MSI KT4-Ultra!!

Hi, I have recently set up a system based on the MSI KT4-Ultra board. I'm using an Athlon XP 1700+, a Radeon 9000 video card, and I've installed Windows 98.
Although all the drivers and audio applications which MSI provided installed fine, and 2-channel audio from the on-board sound chip works great both for music and for the 3-4 games I've installed so far, I can't seem to get the optical SPDIF port to work! I bought a cable and connected the computer to my Sony MD-player and attempted to copy my CDs onto MD. I go into the MSI control panel and check the box to enable SPDIF-out, removing the speaker cable from the analog line-out just for good measure. When I plug the optical cable into my MD it recognises digital input and prepares for recording. I press record on the MD and play on the computer's CD-player app, but the MD LED shows "no signal". I'm pretty sure both the MD recorder and cable are OK since I've used them to copy CDs from a Kenwood portable CD-player quite recently, so it must be the MB that's giving me problems. Indeed, when I've stopped playback in the CD-player app and went back into the audio control panel, I found that the SPDIF box had been unchecked of its own accord. I've tried this several times, and I've unplugged the S-bracket and reinstalled it all over again just to make sure it was plugged in properly, and I still get the same problem. All audio works fine except optical out! Haven't got a coaxial cable or recorder so I can't check if the coaxial port is equally buggered or if it's just the optical, but I'm getting really annoyed here: this was the one feature I liked best about this board and the only one which isn't working! Any ideas, anyone?

dude, i think i can get u ur signal, but currently i can only get silent recordings, u may have better luck.
on the minidisc, there should be a switch or button that will toggle synchronised recording on and off, turning it off should get u a signal, but it wont be in sync wiv the cd, ie u cant trust it to form track gaps.
hope that helps, done flame me if it dont, if i manage to get substance to my recording, i will send u the info just in case.
take it easy

Upgrading to a MSI kt4-ultra FISR board.....

Currently I've got a gigabyte motherboard and I want to upgrade to an: MSI kt4-ultra FISR board. Can I just pull my old board out and install the MSI board with all my old hardware, O/S already on harddrive - and do a start up, or will I run into errors and problems when I try this? Currently my system looks like this:
1) Case: "Xaser SC5000BWII" 400watt mid-tower case
2) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7DXR DDR+Raid
3) CPU Chip: AMD Athon XP 1800 1.6Ghz
4) Memory: 512 of PC2100 DDR266 Memory
5) AudioCard: Creative SoundBlaster Audigy MP3 card
6) VideoCard: ATI RADEON 9000pro, 128 DDR
7) Hard Drive: Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM ATA-133 "D740X" Mdl:6L080J4
8) Operating System: Ms Windows XP Pro
Thanks for the help........ seboyd ?( :D 8)

A clean install will give you 30 days to reactivate and it only takes a 5 minute call to get the new #s. Pretty simple and much easier than trying to straighten out all the error codes from old O S. I did however move an XP harddrive from a Turbo2 to a KT4 without a new install but they were both MSI boards. A clean install also gets rid of all the junk that accumulates. Just enter bios and make the CD rom 1 st boot . BIGDADDY51 CT. USA :D 8) :D

Problem with my MSI KT4 Ultra

Hi all!
I have a BIG problem, I have tried to look at this board, but there is many different answers out there ;(
I have KT4 Ultra with Athlon XP 2600+
I have set FSB to 166, and when I startup BIOS says Athlon XP 2600+.
But in windows system, it only says:
AMD Athlon XP2600+
2.09Ghz !!!!
768Mb RAM
Why is windows only says 2.09Ghz??
AND, I think my system is very slow. I used to have AMD 1200Mhz. And this sytem is almost like my last computer.
My System:
MSI KT4 Ultra ( MS-6590 ) with BIOS
CPU AMD Athlon XP 2600+
768MB DDR 400 RAM
GeForce 4 TI4200AGP 8x

MSI KT4 ULTRA MAX VCORE

Is it possible for MSI to add higher Vcore settings with a BIOS update? The MSI KT4 ULTRA has a max Vcore of 1.85 which doesn't really help the overclockers much. If they could get the max Vcore to 2.00 that would be great for XP overclockers. )

I'm not complaining about my KT4 ULTRA. I think its a good board for people who aren't really into overclocking and performance tweaks, but I love to tweak the performance of my rig. I hate to say that other motherboard companies seem to get the picture, that they should make their boards as overclocking friendly as possible. ASUS, Abit, Epox etc. are considered the best because they have conquered into the overclocking market. I wish MSI would throw their hat in the same market because I personally feel they can.

MSI KT4 Ultra-SR (MS-6590) And IDE3

Rig is As Follows:
MSI KT4 Ultra-SR (MS-6590)
AMD Athlon 1000Mhz :(
512MB DDR333 (PC2700) x1 stick
MSI GeoForce 4 Ti4200 8)

Soundblaster 5.1 Live PCI
350w Power Supply
MSI D-Bracket 2 & S-Breackets Fitted Also.
I have Three Questions.
>My CPU has a FSB of 200, but the bios (version that came with board) shows it as 100 FSB. See here for athlon bus speeds
Is it ok to increase the bus speed without damaging the processor.
>The two brackets that i have fitted (s and d brackets) do not work. Why?
>What are the optimal and settings for my ram (PC2700 512MB DDR) and GFX Card (MSI GF4 TI4200).
>Oh yeah, my CPU is now operating at a higher temp than before (using old K7VZA ECS Mobo) @ 50-55. Is this normal??
Sorry for the n00b questions, it's just that this is the first time iv ever taken my PC to pieces and re-configured it myself :P
Thanks in advance. -RjA

I can help a little 1000MHZ AMD chip=200FSB XP CPUs=266FSB this is CPU speed . AMD 1000MHZ CPU needs to run @100FSB where a XP CPU can run @133FSB This is MEMORY speed . Trying to crank that poor old chip up to anything other than 100 will do you NO good. You need to buy a bigger cpu of the XP kind. A lot of the older XPs can be had for a low price. 50c isn't not super hot. My KT4 runs in the 40s. You might want to think about a bigger cpu cooler to bring the temps down a bit. Most of your settings should be left at system default, since you only have a 1000MHZ CPU. When you go up to an XP then you can make a few changes. Regards BIGDADDY51 :D :D

Urgent help with MSI KT4 Ultra

hey,
off my folks yesterday i got...

i thought i had it all setup right with the HDD in IDE1, DVD and CD-RW in IDE2 and floppy in the floppy bit...
at 1st the CPU cwas only clocking at 1250mhz, but then came here and sorted that prob..... (Sperad spectrum then adjusted the FSB to 166mhz ) then after that, when i go to boot up i got.... "no device connected to the Fasttrack controller...bios not installed" then browing through the forum i found how to "solve" that problem... ( disabled the Serial ATA thing, dont know if thats right .... ) but now i dont get that "bios not installed" line any more.... all i get is a flashing line in the top left of my screen....
so to sum up....all i get now is.... that flashing line......what could be goin wrong?
Thanks in advance.....a very distressed...

Hi,
I have the same issues with my KT4 Ultra (pure version).
Running GF4 Ti4400, Athlon XP2400+ etc, 450W power etc. There are quite many posts of similar issues all over the Via Arena forums and some here as well. KT4 Ultra's and KT4V's seem to be the boards affected.
Installing the Via USB Filter Patch helped with narrowing down the number of crashes and some of the errors.
(note: disable automatic restart from 'Startup and Recovery settings' to see the driver that crashes)
Link to Via Arena FTP site
I had a K7T266pro2-RU board before this which worked 100% stable. I've tested all my components which are fine. Tested different power supplies, memory. Still, continuous random errors after many times of reinstalling Win2K by the book and with default bios settings.
Sometimes the setup works fine for a week and then starts to mess around again.
Looks like setting the cpu fsb down to 128 MHz from 133 MHz solves the issues, so try that and report back.
Also check the filter patch.
I'm personally waiting for the next bios release to fix these issues - if not, I'm showing this board RMA and go to nForce2 chipset.
I also tested the 1.25 beta bios, which gave me lots of crashes during Win2K boot -> flashed back to v1.10 and booting works again.

MSI KT4 ultra and AMD ATHLON 2600+ and Corsair 512Mb 3200

Hello,
i've bought a: MSI KT4 ULTRA and a AMD ATHLON 2600+
Today, i've updated the bios to the version 1.3! So: no problem to reboot after the process complete.
BUT, now i can't set the CPU at 2.16Ghz (280Mhz clock) because if i set the clock up to 100Mhz it doesn't reboot anymore! the motherboard detect the frequency @ 1250 Mhz :(((
Please: HELP ME
(sorry for the grammar and / the english) but i'm a french guy.

Hi,
I had the same issues, see the thread:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=11717&boardid=13&styleid=1
Essentially I had to set (in the BIOS) the FSB to 166 and left the Multiplier on auto. This ment the processor was reported properly as 2600+, but the memory will only run at 333 MHz... Yeah I think I wasted the money on getting the latest and greatest memory too....
Had me worried for a while, I though my supplier had palmed a bad chip off on me.... It just that the board can't do the highest speed chips and the highest speed memory at the same time (it states that that is unsupported in the manual...)
hope the helps...

Pb ? MSI KT4 Ultra

Hello,
I own a msi kt4 ultra motherboard, 512 Mo Ram Twinmos PC3200 and an athlon xp1700+@2012 MHz (175*11.5)
One day, I managed to boot at 194*10.5 but now, it is very instable with any fsb > 180. Where is the pb ? Is it due to the PCI or the AGP ? (because the coef is still 1/5 nd not 1/6 ?)
Is it very impossible to succesfully boot at 200MHz with a KT4 Ultra ?
Other question :
I manage to boot with my ram at cas 2-3-2-6-2Ways but not 2-2-3 or 2-2-2
It is very strange that I can put the RAS precharge at 2 clocks but not the RAS to CAS
Couls anyone help me ?
(sorry for my english , I'm french...)

but its very doutfull the board would run at it
it only has 1/5 divider so at 200 fsb agp would be at 80 not 66 and pci at 40 not 33

KT4 Ultra Sound still stuttering for a lot of people... Any Progress?

I've searched the forums, updated, rebuilt, reupdated, replaced, blah, blah, blah.... as have a lot of KT4 Ultra owners... but still the sound stutters like a Dragon 64.
Does anyone know if MSI have even bothered to look at this problem? Has anyone "who's actually experienced the problem" actually got a fix?
I bought the MSI for it's power and it's sound. The powers great, the sound.... I rely on my daughters old Dell Celeron 400 to provide.
Thanks to everyone who've suggested ideas, but shouldn't MSI be addressing this problem? At what stage can I go back to my motherboard supplier and tell them it's crap and ask for a Gigabyte?
Very disappointing MSI. You've got my money, is that all that matters? Not related to Microsoft are we?

Thanks for replying Maesus, I really hope you can help.
My first post about this subject was Jan 24th under Yorkshiretaff. I've been scanning the forums and web for a fix since buying the MSI MB & vid card for a fix since december.
My system comprises the following...
>MSI KT4 Ultra
>2100+
>MSI GF4 MX440 64Mg
>512 DDR
>2x Maxtor 40Gb's
>LG DVD
>TDK 48x CDRW
>XP Pro SP1+ (all up to date)
>All MSI drivers up to date (except recommended beta graffics driver not installed)
>Bios 1.3 (fault occurs under all previous releases as well)
>lastest recommended VIAHyperion4in1445v drivers
>USB2 via fix
>Sophos antivirus
>MSI utilities running - PC Alert, MSI Monitor
>C-Media drivers updated to latest via Windows Update (as recommended)
All patches have been applied sequentially with full testing between each application. Bear in mind I run and support a 300 PC/23 server call centre on my own for my job.
I think thats about it for specs. The PC was put together to mainly be used as an office PC with a bit of power for processing avi's and playing MP3's decently and to support a digital camera. Apart from the sound the KT4 has performed really well. I get avi's locking the PC up, but I can trace this again to the sound problem. I have no other software or hardware issues at all. The fault occurs with just a base XP build on.
In previous posts about the sound stutter people have mentioned various bios settings which, after updating the bios 1.3 last night I'm going to start trying all over again (1.2 testing finished). Could you recommend a set of BIOS settings page by page that I could start with? I always start with the default "safe" and start working my way up. But as the fault occurs under the "safe" setting something else might be an issue.
The sound stutter can occur when the PC is almost at rest just playing MP3's. I've stopped all activity on the PC (antivirus, MSI stuff, zonealarm, fuji camera link, palm link) and the sound still stutters. I've seen recommendations for PCI Latency, PCI busmatering, etc but am unsure of what should be set. It does seem to be a processing issue in that the PC just can't handle it, but with the specs above I don't think it should be an issue.
Regarding my "MSI bashing", I apologise for breaking the forum rules, but it does show the frustration myself and many other MSI KT4 owners are experiencing. Paying for, and building a good machine for Multimedia or gaming use should be an easy thing to do with todays kit. Without good sound a PC is no good for either use.
Thanks again.....

Msi kt4 ultra bsr

hi,
i'm new at this forum.
i have buy a msi kt4 ultra bsr board whit amd xp 2200 cpu.
twinmoss pc 3200 memory @ 256mb.
after install the hardware it seems to run only at xp 1500 in the bios.(amibios).
normaly you can set the range on 100mhz or 133mhz.
by this board we can set it only @100mhz and not at 133mhz.
have olso tryed whit pc 2100 / pc 2700 @133mhz.
still the same probleem,no 133mhz possible.
when i put the memory in my msi kt7pro2-ru board it runs at 133mhz only the pc3200 can run on that board.
is it possible that a little bug in the ami bios the problem is?
have look at the msi website for a patch but nothing.
have someone had the same problem.

hi,
still the same problem
today i have olso buyed the xp 2000+ cpu.

in the bios isn't not possible to set 100mhz to 133mhz.
when we change the fsb clock higher than we need to reset the bios.
in the dram timing control we can not set the 100mhz to 133mhz.
the current host clock is 100mhz and not changeble.

Linux and MSI KT4 Ultra : DVD problems

Hi, I own an MSI KT4 Ultra Pure mobo. The vt8235 Southbridge is supported in the lastest version of the Linux Kernel, 2.4.20 . After upgrading the kernel all seems to work fine, but when the system try to initialize my hdc (Secondary master of IDE, a DVD reader DV-5800A from NEC) it locks up with the message :
hdc: device {Busy}
hdc: drive not ready for command
ide1: reset success!!
and start looping with this message.
What can I do to get work my DVD Reader? With my precedent MoBo it works perfectly
Thanks
Bye

Hmmm that error used to happen with an older kernel and an ALI chipset. If you leave it long enough does it give up trying and continue to boot? The ALI did this eventualy.

MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR + Ati Radeon 9700 pro = not good??

Hello everybody!
First of all, i youst have to say that i think MSI have the best motherboards....
Here's the problem (i haven't buyed anything yet!):
I am going to buy MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR and ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, but i have read many places that Radeon aint working with MSI KT4-based cards! Im am going to buy an 520W Power (i aint so good in english so i hope you now what i write :D )
I am also going to buy 2 x Cosair pc3500 xms ram... Is this one working with the motherboard by the way?
But my question is: Will the Ati Radeon 9700 pro work with this card? (i must remember to buy the 1.3 version!) I am gonna get my Radeon 9700 pro from USA, how can i now when i order that is an 1.3 card?
Thank you for answering! :]

I think also that even there is two drivers, that is not a reaseon why it isn't work. One time I install only standard VGA drivers, but result was that I got two standard VGA driver. 8o
First time I try without VIA drivers, then with 4.42 and 4.43 VIA drivers. Result was almost same all the time, it always crash when Nature test start, but this exist also to older mobo (Abit KT7A-RAID). Problem exits few games they lock up or stuttering. Ati demos works fine, but one time that car demo stuttering a lot, but I transfer data at same, so I'm not sure what was reason.
This moment I don't have possibilities to try Hyperion 4.45 drivers or something else, because it's my friend computer.

MSI KT4 Ultra! A little question.

Hello. )
I'm very interested, in the new MSI KT4 Ultra, but i've a doubt:
The pure version of the KT4 Ultra, has a fan on the chipset?
How many IDE channels come with this pure version?
Thank you, and sorry about my poor english. :D

You can modify de FSB in the bios, but there is a jumper that provides these 3 options, 100mhz, 133mhz and 166mhz. 100mhz for the duron cpu's, 133mhz for the Athlon xp Palomino and Tbred, and 166mhz for the athlon xp Barton ( not 100% confirmed).
