MSI RS480M2-IL Periodic Audio Noise

I have an audio noise problem with my MSI RS480 Motherboard. The on-board sound periodically (every few seconds) makes a small noise (click?) and over longer intervals a skip of sorts. Also near the end of the Windows Logon audio I sometimes get a sort of brrrr noise. The noise problem occurs with all sorts of audio (i.e. audio CD's, streaming audio, Windows sounds, etc.). I assumed that it was faulty Realtek sound and I disabled the Realtek sound and installed a Sound Blaster Live Value OEM (Sound Blaster Driver Pack) sound card. It does the same thing with the Sound Blaster sound card but not as noticable. I decided to RMA the RS480 and order a new one. I just installed the new one and the problem is still there with no change. I still have the Realtek audio disabled and have the Sound Blaster sound card. The following three things have been suggested to me (in order) but only step 3 has been tried. I understand the purpose of step 2 but not the purpose of step 1. I plan to try step 2 sometime next week.
(1) Remove the RS480M2-IL and put it on top of a phone book and run the PC and test the audio.
(2) Switch out the Power Supplies and test the audio
(3) Replace the Motherboard and test the audio
My System:
MSI RS480M2-IL (Latest Drivers, Latest BIOS 3.3)
Windows XP Pro SP2
Seagate SATA 120 GB HD
Samsung 16X DVD-RW (Latest Firmware)
Samsung Floppy Drive
Corsair VS DDR Memory - 512 MB x 2 (1 GB) CAS 2.5 DDR400
Athlon 64 Socket 939 3000+ Retail
Antec SX635II Case (Antec SL350 PS)
3 80mm Antec Case Fans
Logitec 2.1 speakers (Tested on 2 other PC's with absolutely no problems)
Samsung 710N 17" LCD
Rosewill Optical Mouse
Liteon 104 Key Keyboard
Can anyone explain step 1, above.
Can anyone suggest any other test(s) to conduct to determine the cause of and solve my problem.
Thank you.

I am suspicious of the Antec SL350 Power Supply. I just ordered a spare 450W Power Supply. It should be in on Thursday of this week. I plan to swap out the power supply by Saturday. I already have an Antec SL350 in another computer (Don't want to do a swap out with that PC at this time.). The other SL350 moves a noticable amount of air (I would guess at least 4 times the flow of the one with the RS480M2-IL.). The air is warmer than I am used to (PC with RS480M2-IL) and the flow is almost undetectable. I checked the rotation of both power supply fans and they are both moving in the right direction.

MSI RS480M2-IL audio problem

Hi, i just set up my new pc with the MSI RS480M2-IL mobo and i am having some serious problems with the sound. i installed the ac97 codec from the msi driver page and here is what happens, the sound works only when i switch it to 4 channel mode or higher. And the worst part is when i go to websites using the adobe flash to view videos i get no sound at all, also programs like ventrilo dont work either. now i tried to reinstall the codecs and everything but nothing is working. oh and the sound works when watching movies on media player and other sites that dont use adobe flash. HELP PLEASE.

where do i find these drivers, i checked on the realtek site and google and i could not find anything. would you happen to have a direct link that would be great. also lets say i open youtube and watch a video which used adobe flash ,and i click on sound settings on adobe flash, i can see the sound bar moving like the sound is playing. so i really dont believe its a software or driver problem, can it be that it is a hardware problem? if yes, is there a way i can find out if i still have the warranty left on it? thanks

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.

Girder Plugin and audio noise

I ave a problem with girder and the msi remote plugin.
There is a ticking noise like every 100ms or something that drives me crazy.
I use headphones and it's very noticable.
If i enter girder setup, uncheck the msi remote plugin, click ok.
The noise is gone.
I have no idea why a remote plugin can cause audio noise lol
Is it just my system or is this a known problem ?
I have tried the nforce drivers which came with the box, and yesterday
also the latest nforce drivers, same problem.
Strange thing is if i use the MSI mega key finder it doesnt have that noise...
Dst

Hi
The plugin uses the same API as the Radio does. So it seems to be not unlikely that the driver will create noise on your audio output.
You're saying that you hear the noise every 100 ms. Please try to adjust the time resultion in the plugin's settings (let's say for 1000 ms). If you hear the noise then every second, the problem is related to the MSIDrvIF.dll driver which comes form MSI. In that case there is nothing I can do about it.
Otherwise the problem is somewhere else. Perhaps the driver initialization process behaves strange on your system. Then get in contact with me and I'll try to adjust the source code (adding mute to the radio or something like that).

[MSI RS480M2-IL] jerky video when playing mpeg2

My new msi rs480m2-il mainboard with venice 3000+ cpu and 512 mb twinmos ram shows problems when playing mpeg2 content. When playing recorded mpeg2 file the video is jerky (I already checked the video source, but it is random)
After first install of windows mce I found out the image was jerky and flashed the bios from 3.3 to 3.8 to see if it improves some things. The only improvement was that the CPU was recognised and that I could enable C&Q.
Then I did a fresh install of windows again (diabled all unneccesary stuff like firewire, second ide channel, onboard sound in the bios), but no improvements. It is totally worthless for usage as htpc.
After fresh install of windows I did the following:
- installed all windows updates
- installed ati catalyst 5.7 drivers
- installed nvidia purevideo decoder 1.02-150
The playback is in VMR9 with hardware acceleration enabled, this results in a CPU load of 40-50% (which I think is pretty high).
Where can I look?
- VGA card
- drivers
- Memory
- Bios
- RMA mainboard?
Is there anyone facing the same problems? Did anyone succeed to eliminate these problems?
I am also facing the temp problem (venice core) which shows a cpu temp that is way too high

Realtek A3.74 drivers from realtek website
There are a few threads in the Forum on problems with the more current Realtek driver sets and the board, e.g. poping and stuttering. It's always possible that the video playback is affected by audio. The set on the MSI CD that came with the board is good.
I tested newer and also encountered problems. I tested several of the Catalyst IGP sets without problems, but recommend you try the Realtek set on the CD. Make sure you uninstall the current set before you move back.
FYI.....I tested ALL TYPES of media with the rig in my profile and video was very smooooooth on all tests. Even streaming video from the net was good. It's now my daughter's system, and she says it's running perfect.

Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?

Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?
If Yes, How is It?
This seems from what I've read at least to be a good or even great overclocker, It's too bad that It isn't a full ATX motherboard, Maybe If sales are good enough MSI will use this chipset on a Full size ATX motherboard one day. Of course It does have an Integrated ATI video card in It and It have as much as 128Mb ram for the pci-e built-in video or You could add a separate pci-e video card in the 16x slot. It's $94.00 right now on pricewatch.com of course.

Ordered one for a home workstation from ZipZoomFly.com. Also picked up a 3000+ and already have 1GB of Adata PC4000. Will be utilizing onboard video until I have the need/desire to upgrade to PCI-Express video card. Hard drive will be a new Maxtor 250GB ATA-133 16MB Cache that I picked up from CompUSA for $99/no rebates :D
I will post my thoughts after the system is together, should have parts by Thursday/Friday.
Well at least You aren't buying from Logic Circle Systems That place will ship incompatible ram that is Intel approved and say then It is You cpu that is at fault, I should know I'd bought zoom3's motherboard and some Wintec ram(Samsung chips ending in TCCC) and They said they were tested and AMD approved(They aren't, Wintrec is Junk on an AMD Platform), I now have a Corsair CMX512RE-3200LL Dimm and My cpus work fine at PC3200 speeds and above, Logic Circle Systems said was at fault. Logic Circle Systems is a bunch of Liars and are not trustworthy.

VoIP audio noise using MacBook Pro

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro using an airport snow ethernet and DSL, and I am experiencing a consistent audio noise, a hissing/growl sound through the entire length of any VoIP conversation (I have tried Gizmo Project and Skype). The person I am talking to on the other end does not hear the audio hissing/growl.
I first thought it was related to the application, but that was dispelled after using both Gizmo and Skype and having the same bad audio (although, I will say, Gizmo was better than Skype). Then, I thought it must be my airport router with bad settings, but I haven't improved the audio by changing channels or anything else. I have tried both making forwarded ports in my firewall setup as well as completely disabling the firewall, which isn't prefered of course. I have used both internal speaker/microphone and headset setups, with no improvement. My wireless internet is otherwise awesome without problems, and even Skype says I have a good connection in it's info window.
My last two ideas are: a) that the ethernet cable from the DSL modem to the airport is somehow affected by the numerous electrical cables which run near and parallel to each other, b) my Macbook Pro is not setup properly or has some audio issue in the hardware/software.
Anyone have similiar VoIP issues with their MacBook Pro, or better yet, any solutions or something I could test?
SRB

I'd suspect a hardware issue from what you've written, I video conference daily using iVisit and the audio is perfect.

Canon XA10 and XA20 audio noise

Hello,
I work with a Canon XA10 and Canon XA20. Both seem to pick up a fair amount of audio noise (like a static shhhhhh), even before I connect wireless microphones. The wireless microphones just intensify it. Is it normal for Canon camcorders to pick up some audio noise? Are there settings to work with to fix this, or should I just plan to continue eliminating the noise in Adobe Audtion, or any other program you would recommend? I greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello Clare27,
With regards to the camcorder picking up audio noise, the answer would be two fold: yes- as it could potentially record any noise which is present near the microphones when recording, and no- as the camcorder should not actively add static or other 'generated' type noise, such as interference. That can result from things like connections not being plugged in all the way, crossed cables, receivers and transmitters if anything like that is present.
The camcorder should be set to utilize your external microphone/s only and disabling the onboard microphone. Having the onboard microphone disabled will cut down on the chances of ambient noise being recorded. Other than that, simply having your microphones themselves set up and used properly should produce a clean signal which is recorded by the camcorder.

Loud Audio Noise while Capturing in PP 5.5

I am using a Formac Firewire Audio & Video external capture device with a Firewire 400 to 800 cable to my 12 Core Mac Pro 2.9 GHZ.
Does anyone else use this device?
I am getting a strong audio noise thru the firewire port regardless if my audio input in the "Line In" or "Digital In" in the system.
The noise does not occur in any other application that records video which uses the system audio line in.
I guess my question is "Can you change the Audio Input Device" fo Capturing Video in PP ?
I cant find it .. so I guess not.

Some more information which might help.
Below is a grab of a sequence I've created in PP to show what I'm seeing.
As you can see there are two clips in the timeline, the first pink clip is the finished AE comp which has been imported into PP via the file menu and placed into the timeline, both video and audio play, and are present in the timeline (in pink) so that is a work around if necessary.
The second clip in the timeline has been dynamically linked via the FILE MENU/ADOBE DYNAMIC LINK/REPLACE WITH AFTER EFFECTS COMPOSITION. The video effects that have been applied in the AE comp appear in PP but no audio and as you can see in the PP timeline the A1 is still the origonal file's audio track (in blue under the pink AE comp)

FCP audio noise during video transistions

Hi. I have a strange problem with FCP Studio 2.I captured HDV video onto my scratch disk using ProRes 422,and i finish all basic edits and use Livetype templates to generate lower third titles and drop a few seconds of AVI video to which i also add text using Boris text scrambler to superimpose text onto the AVI video in FCP. Once all is done and rendered on the timeline in FCP i can hear strange audio noise/interference a slight distortion of the audio track during any part where a LiveType title or AVI video has a intensive transition used with a audio track associated with the transition. The more intensive the video transition the more distorted (like a slight pop) the audio gets, it is noticeable. when there is no transitions, the audio is normal. Is this just lack of CPU power on my MacBook Pro causing this audio probelm?
Heath

Is everything rendered -no colored line above the video clips on the Timeline?
You might also need to check that all the render options are checked on.

Audio Noise in exported file

Hey all. This is driving me crazy and can't figure it out. Using Premiere CS6
I am editing 1920x1080 24p ProRes 422 footage, with audio being synced up from an external source. Audio is .wav 48 khz 16 bit.
I am increasing the gain by right clicking>audio gain, and bringing it up about 30 dB. The vocals are then where I want them, but there is a bit of audio noise. I apply the denoiser and make my adjustment and ALL of the noise is gone. First time I did this I thought it was a miracle because it sounded fantastic!
I went and exported my sequence, 1920 x 1080 24p ProRes Audio 48, 16 bit uncompressed.
And to my horror, where the audio bits come in, there is very obvious audio noise. It wasn't like this when editing the project, only when it was exported. In the sequence it sounds great.
I'm tried creating different sequences, exporting with different audio formats, but I can't figure this out. The rest of the audio, mostly ambiences and other sounds with no effects applied, sound great.
One thing I noticed, is that when right click and go to properties on the audio file it says:
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
So apparently the source is different from the project? I would think Premiere could handle slightly different formats. Not sure if this is the issue, because I can't seem to select audio presets when creating a new sequence.
Thanks,
Dan
Computer specs:
MBP 2009 2.53 ghz c2d
8gb ram
500 gb int
1tb external fw 800 media drive

I'm trying that now. There is a noise removal feature that is a process, and one that is adaptive.
When I try the process, it takes away all the volume that was gained. When I increase the volume, the noise comes back.
When I try the adaptive process, I get the audio sounding good and how I want it (in the effects window that pops up), but as soon as I select okay to apply the effect, the noise returns in the main editor! <<<--- kind of like what Premiere was doing when I exported the file!

Static audio noise during a call

Hello,
Few days ago I bought Z3 compact and all works fine but one thing. I hear static audio noise (ssshhhhh) when speaker is activated - for example when i make a call or if i play music/video and turn volume down/off. I would like to know if this is normal on Z3 compact or i should go to service? I tried some other phone brands and there is absolutely no static noise on them. Can someone confirm me if he does/doesn't experience this? Btw. volume of that noise is not huge, just enough to annoy you during a call. Thx.
Regards.

Hi. Just an update on subject. I took the phone to the repair service and they said all is normal - so they are telling me that background sound noise in earspeaker is a normal thing on a top model worth 500 EUR. Great. This really deserves detail sound review to be made via YT video. I will analyze amount of sound noise with sound editing software and publish video. Then we will see how normal all this is. Btw. same problem is described also here:

Overclocking MSI RS480M2

I'm using and athlon 64 3000+ with a msi rs480m2 mainboard, i want to overclock my system to 2GHz, how do i do it???

The RS480 and RS482 boards does not support overclocking. The BIOS locks you to the rated speeds of the CPU only, and the chipset as such has quite limited overclocking capabilities.
In principle you might be able to overclock these somewhat via software, but not much, and some of the MSI software available for these purposes is said to work on these boards as well, but it's not a supported configuration or meant to be done. The boards are not designed with overclocking in mind, rather stable and affordable desktop systems for normal office use.

Does the MSI RS480M2 sb400 chipset impose a hardware limit on SATA disc size?

I would like to fit a 1Tb sata drive. The Motherboard is MSI RS480M2, MS-7093 (v1.X) M-ATX Mainboard which uses ATI RS480 Chipset with an ATI SB400 Southbridge providing the SATA controller. At present I have two 200GB IDE drives fitted and one SATA DVD-RAM Drive.

Not that I know of, but you better test it before buying at a shop, then you are sure.
Normally it should work fine.

[Athlon64] Overclocking AMD Athlon64 on MSI RS480M2-IL

Hi,
I thought that MSI motherboard is good at overclocking, but the MSI RS480M2-IL do not have any option to overclock my AMD Athlon64 CPU.
I just built a new PC with the following configuration:
- AMD Athlon64 3000+ CPU (Venice core)
- 2 X 512 MB DDR400 2.5 CAS RAM
- MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard with 3.4 BIOS version
- AOpen H420B casing with 300W Power supply
- Seagate 250GB SATA HDD with NCQ
Anyone know how to change the FSB setting in the BIOS or any Windows program that can change the FSB setting so I can overclock the CPU???
I also have the following questions about the RS480M2-IL motherboard:
- My AOpen casing provide a 20 pins ATX power connector so do I need change the power supply with 24 pins ATX connector?
- I thinking of adding a nVidia graphics card so anyone have any problem with a nVidia graphics card on this motherboard?

Vdorta: Can give more instruction how to run the ClockGen program??? Do I have to load it every time my Windows bootup???
I don’t have my computer at hand, so the following is from memory, aided by the ClockGen site:
1. Download the RS480-specific zip file to a folder and extract its contents.
2. Run the CG-ICS951412.exe file; click on the “Get” button to obtain the current FSB value; adjust the new FSB value you want (there are five values: 200, 204, 210, 214, 220). I tried and tested them all and they were stable in my machine, so I chose the highest, 220.
3. Create and save in the same folder a simple text file, for example, “filesave.txt” with a text editor (I used Notepad) with the following two lines in it:
[CG-ICS951412]
FSB=204
(where FSB is the value you have chosen from ClockGen.exe); every time you change the value, you have to modify the text file to include the new value, of course.
4. Create a shortcut to CG-ICS951412.exe; right click the shortcut and select “Properties”; add “-file=filesave.txt” to the “Target” field so that it should look something like this:
“C:\ClockGen\CG-ICS951412.exe -file=filesave.txt”
5. In order for Windows to load the program at boot, place the shortcut in the Startup folder.
