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.

  • MOVED: MSI K8T Neo2 Onboard Sound Problem

    This topic has been moved to AMD64 ATI/SiS/VIA based board.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108589.0

    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.

  • MSI K9N SLI V2 MS-7390 onboard sound problem

    Hi,
    My PC has stopped outputing sound. It was working fine yesterday morning, but when I got home from work 8 hours later it no longer seemed to want to play any sound. I know my taste in music is a bit naff but it not playing anything is a bit extreme!
    I've checked the volume, reinstalled the sound drivers, checked the speakers and the cable by hooking them up to an iPod and I'm still not getting any sound. The onboard sound is enabled on the BIOS. Device Manager is showing no conflicts or problems, as far as it's concerend it's working. I've had a look at the motherboard and there's nothing I can see looks like it's shorted. I've even emptied my HDD and done a clean install of Windows XP again.
    I'm really at a loss to see why this has happened and what to do to fix it. I guess buying a sound card would be one way of getting round it but I'm still puzzled about why it's doing this in the first place.
    My motherboard is an MSI K9N SLI V2 MS-7390 and the on board audio is Realtek.

    No, your bad choice of music shouldn't be the problem. That is if not a neighbour broke in to your house to stop the darn noise. Do you know if someone has changed anything?
    Does the rest of the system work fine? I'm thinking there was a problem with return from hibernation or something.
    What source do you have? CD for example.

  • MSI Z77A-GD55 Onboard Sound better than cheap sound cards?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a question regarding my motherboard's (MSI Z77AGD55) onboard sound. I always have a static noise when I use my Microphone and my friends dislike it. If I am recording something, I get the same static and I dislike it. I understand that this is common with the use of onboard sound. My question is: If I buy a cheap video card ~$20-$40, will I still have the static problem? I am asking because I would like to get rid of it, but I am not willing to spend a lot of $$ on it. I also have plenty of PCI-Express 1 slots open for a cheap sound card. My motherboard has no PCI slots.

  • Nforce 4 platinum SLI onboard sound problems

    I have recently bought the nforce 4 Platinum SLI motherboard with onboard sound blaster live 24bit, but when i try to fully utilise it in games like Halo, the sound laggs, only partially plays the sound effects. The sound is fine in all other things like when playing music, it is just when i turn on the hardware acceleration in the game audio options. I've checked for conflicts in device manager and re-installed the latest drivers. I read about the PSU problem with the -5V rail, but my PSU is 24 pin and has the correct rail, so it isn't that.
    It's almost like the sound card is not getting enough system resources to be able to fully process the sounds.
    It's driving me nuts, can anyone help with any suggestions.
    Cheers, Jonny

    I tried lowering the acceleration as well but it didn't affect it. When i took it down to basic acceleration, i was then unable to turn on the hardware accelaration inside the game which is what causes the sound to lagg.

  • KT4V-L - onboard sound problems, any suggestions what could cause this

    Board and system (winXP and xp2400+) set up fine.  The only problem is with the sound. Every now and then i get a horrible screeching sound out of the speakers (a bit like feedback).
    This is only intermittant, last night it ran for 4.5 hours and only 'screeched' once for about 5 seconds.  It doesn't seem to be the speaker (it happens on different ones) or the speaker connections (i wiggle them around but can't reproduce the noise).
    At one point they were bad so i closed down and whilst it shut down the noises actually increased.
    Are there known problems with the onboard AC97 sound.
    Can the PC-Cillin cause sound problems?  Any suggestions greatly appreciated as the answer i got is to try a soundcard  - which i hope will fix it.
    thanks
    Doc

    thanks Asaf
    to be honest i can't recall - i have ahd a mic attached but don't think it was everytime i had the noise
    in any event - surely it still shouldn't make a noise like that anyway
    just got a cheap (£4) Soundblaster 128 so will try that
    cheers

  • KT4-Ultra-Onboard sound problems

    I bought my KT4 Ultra in September and I've heard some talk about being defective. Just to start off by saying that for it may be my problem.... Anyways, I'm having problems with my onboard sound. When I play music, my sound kinda stutters. To best describe it, my sound doesnt skip or anything, but every now and then i hear an extra "drum beat" in my music where there shouldn't be. Please post if you know anyhing about it. Thanks.

    Thanks Vatoloco
    I know my problem doesnt have anything to do with ripping or the software. All I knowis that the problem is with either my motherboard or something involved indirectly...
    Anyways, to help you out, thry using different software and see if that's the problem. If not, try unplugging all your IDE cables and audio cable in ur case and reconnecting for you might have a bad connection. Lastly, check out your cd drive.

  • Onboard sound problems

    Well, for some reason, after installing the Cmedia drivers off of MSI's website and installing them, my 5.1 sound is buggy. I'll be playing games (have only experienced it in games, although I'm not sure if it does it with normal music playing) and all of the sudden, the sound will just  out for no reason.
    It will work from the get go, but after a little bit of workin, it screws up.
    Any ideas?

    I think that you may need to un-install the C-Media and the onboard sound drivers first, reboot system, skip hardware detection and re-install C-Media + onboard sound drivers through the installation wizard of the program.

  • MSI K8T NEO Onboard Sound

    I have heard the onboard sound is pretty terrible on this board. Is it really that bad? Should I stick with it or buy a sound card?
    And if it is bad...is a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 a good card to go with? How different is it from the Audigy?

    Are your rear channels working in stereo?
    I just noticed that the front channels sounds darker then the rear channels.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Damn onboard sound problems

    hiya
    i got given a replacement neo platinum to replace my first one that the raid died on.
    now i have no sound out of the box.
    ive checked the front jumpers,reinstalled the audio drivers,tried switching the onbouard
    sound off and on again between restarts...nothing
    i get no sound in any of my os's,through speakers or headphones.
    im stumped.can anyone help me?

    Usual suspects first.....
    board jumper set to front or back?
    onboard sound enabled in bios?
    drivers loaded, recognized and enabled in XP hardware?
    that's the three things that jump to mind..........reset bios and enable sound again if everything else checks out

  • Kt3 Ultra 2, with onboard sound problems

    I'm just getting my new motherboard set up, and when i install the drivers for the onboard sound, I'm only getting the sound effect, equalizer and general tabs in the option screens, according to the manual I'm supposed to have speaker configuration and test tabs as well, without this, I cant use the rear connections for 5.1 audio, which makes my surround system pointless.
    I have tried the new sound drivers from this site, but when I try to run it, the installer comes up with "alcxwdm.inf not found", and stops dead. The rest of my system is Athlon XP2000+, win 98, 40Gb Seagate drive, Creative DVD drive, and Dxr3 DVd decoder card.

    Damn, so I'll have to put my SBLive 1024 card in, which will run ok, and have only 4 channels, which is actually inferior to the onboard sound (supposedly having 6 channels), of which I can only get 2, Great!
    All of which doesnt tell me why the updated drivers wont install at all, and this is happening just when I want to use windows apps, havent tried dvd yet, no point if I cant get the rear plugs to output, until I put sblive in... DOH!

    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.
