MSI Z97 and Linux (sound) ?

Hello
I have MSI Z97 Gaming 3 mobo, i tried multiple Linux distros, and there is always problem with sound, the sound output is very low, and there is some weird noise which is increasing when i move my mouse.
This problem doesn't exist on any Windows, is it bad driver or what?
Thanks

  • MSI Z97-G45 Sound Issue

    I bought a MSI Z97-G45 two weeks ago, everything is working fine except for the sound. The problem is when I plug my 3.5mm jack into the motherboard it does give sound, but a very low volume. When you turn the volume up it starts making a crackling noise. I have to turn my speakers up all the way to the maximum (normally this would blow them up). The windows volume slider is on maximum so that isn't the issue.
    When I plug my speakers in the front of the case everything is working as normal, it's only when I plug them into the back of the motherboard.
    I've updated the drivers and even unplugged all my USB devices to see if the problem went away.
    Any advice on what this could be?

    Speancer, what was the BIOS version yours shipped with?
    I got a GAMING 5, according to MSI Support it's V1.0, since I don't have a spare LGA1150 chip I'm really curious if 4790K is going to work as it is. My build is from entirely new parts, so if somehow it fails to POST, I can't know for sure if it's because of the outdated BIOS or something else, It would be great to know if it's actually going to work or not on 1.0 .
    Anybody tried 4790K with 1.0 BIOS? Does it work?
    It was 1.0  Like I said, it works perfectly ouf of the box on MSI Z97 Gaming 5 with i7 4790K CPU. After installing system and most of my softwares like it was before format, I noticed that I could not enter BIOS, but system was working normally. Then I flashed BIOS from 1.0 to 1.3 in Windows and it worked again and has been working ever since.
    Good luck with your new rig 

  • MSI GE70 2OE minor freezes and scratchy sounds

    Hi Guys,
    Recently I have become a happy owner of the notebook MSI GE70 SOE. However I found few problems which really destroy the pleasure of playing games on it.
    1) First of all I noticed that whenever the computer is going on high performance, balanced or even Eco power option there're problems with the USB and headphone ports. The computer starts to do little freeze for 1-2 seconds and also there is a scratchy sound both from headphone and notebook speakers.  I am using the USB wireless mouse and it often freezes during that time.The same problem occurs during game especially Battliefield 3. The notebook works quite Ok when it is on the Office power option but occasionally those problems occur on this option.
    I'd like to inform that I did all the drivers and windows 8 updates from the MSI website. I'm thinking that it probably can be a problem with the power supply but I'm not an expert on that.
    I would be very grateful for any help from you guys.

    What I would probably do first is check the temperatures, just to be sure.
    Use CoreTemp and MSI Afterburner and report the IDLE temperatures and the temperatures while playing a game. This would be most helpful.
    While it seems strange that it happens only with the AC plugged in, it might also have something to do with the computer overheating, and once you unplug it, it will throttle back quite a bit and cool down and catch up to itself. At least, that's my best guess at this point.

  • Msi 651 and tv@nywhere card with CRAPPY sound

    I have a msi 651 and tv@nywhere card.  I have the sound running from the tv card to the mic. in card on the motherboard.  The sound is very tinny and hollow and sounds like garbage.  Also whenever I start the program I have to manually open my volume control and turn up the volume of the wave.  any suggestions?

    In front of the CDAudioIn connector there is another "aux" connector called CN16 (or was it CN13?) This "aux" audio connector is a TVAudio connector. If your TVCard has an internal AudioOutput connector, you only have to connect the TVCard with the TVAudioInput (CN16) using a standard CDAudio cable. Else, you have to build a cable with a CDAudio connector on one side and a 3.5 stereo connector on the other side.
    See the 651 MoBo scheme in the 651 manual to get more information about how to locate this CN16(TVAudioInput) connector

  • System sounds (alarms), Bios update and Linux

    Hello
    Sory for my very bad English
    I have a Lenovo 3000 G530, under Linux (Mandriva 2010 X86_64), and it works fine. My only "problem" is the system sound of charge battery (beep when plug/unplug adapter).... It's not a minor problem : there are many circumstances where we want to be silent .... and these sounds are horrible.
    One issue to resolve this problem is to correct it in the Bios settings. But in my Bios, no options for that. On the other hand, I've found an update Bios (http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_1350.html#) 0CCN52WW version (I actualy use 0CCN48WW).
    So
    1 Can somebody tell me if the 0CCN52WW Biosmakes possible to disable system sounds alarms ? Before flashing Bios, I want to be sure this will solve the problem ...
    2 This Bios can create other problems ?
    3 Is there a method to flash without using Windows (creating bootable CD) ?
    Thank you

  • Linux and Java sound - map mixers to devices

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding Java Sound API and Linux. I need to query a list of sound devices and let the user choose one of them for further audio operations. This works using the
    AudioSystem.getMixerInfo()call. However, the names of the mixers are not very useful. I find the following mixers:
    Intel [plughw:0,0], version 1.0.23
    Intel [plughw:0,2], version 1.0.23Is there a way to get better names, similar to what Gnone or KDE sound panels display?
    When I run the same code under Windows, the output is much better.

    Try the code from the following article:

  • New MSI Z97 Gaming 7 and 4690K Overclocking

    I have finally received my MSI Z97 Gaming 7 and 4690k earlier this week.
    When I did the overclock Genie it took me up to 3.9mhz but believe this can be easily overclocked higher manually. I am fairly new to overclocking. However, can't seem to find the ability to manually overclock this in the BIOS.
    Any ideas where/how to do this or if there is an online guide. Also has a Noctua NH-D14 cooling the CPU.

    First of all you disable OC Genie, it is useless for people that want MORE oc than it gives you.
    Here is forum's OC guide:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=40413.0
    And other forum's OC guide:

    I don't overclock (see my spec) so I can't provide you with more details but can guide you to a good link

  • MSI Z97 MPOWER MAX AC compatibility 4790K and XP941

    Hello I'm thinking to buy an MSI Z97 MPOWER MAX AC, but few questions are still keeping me away from it for now.
    1 - I'm thinking pair it with an Intel 4790K
    I've watched the compatibility list, and sadly it's not yet reported.
    I know all Z97 boards will support this processor !
    But... How can I perform BIOS/firmware upgrade, if the motherboard does not see the processor and does not POST ?
    (mainboard ordered online never have latest BIOS ready).
    2 - Thinking to use the M.2 connector with the : Samsung XP941 512GB M.2 NGFF PCIe Solid state drive SSD
    I've read it 'works' on this mainboard, but nobody knows if booting from this device will work.
    So , does Samsung XP941 had been tested ?? Is it possible to boot from it ??
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Im running Z97 xpower ac with Intel 4790k at 4.7Ghz, 32Gb Corsair Diamond Platinum 2666 RAM and the Samsung xp941 512Gb m.2
    It will boot but I have a speed issue, I only get 400Mb/s and it reports back as a SATA6Gb/s connection 
    My manual says the JM2_1 jumper can set the port to SATA6Gb/s or PCIe mode, without stating which is which... 
    Tried with it a pin 1 & 2, system refuse to find the ssd, at 2&3 if boots as normal but as SATA6Gb/2
    Without the jumper the setting is AUTO and the BIOS setting descide what to be used then again I cant find that setting in my BIOS v 1,3.
    Any info would be helpful as how to make the mainboard realise it has a PCIe card in the slot.

  • Please help with sound msi z97 gaming 5

    i installed the driver and soundblaster cinema 2 and the sound is not loud in headphones, speakers is fine but with my headphones is just quiet i tried hd558 and aurvana live it sounds not that loud that i was expecting, its rated 600ohm with realtek 1150 chip , whats wrong how can i increase the ohm to make it more louder
    also tried rear and front panel and i already connect and switch the audio power on

    I think the main thing is that this kind of board can support the expensive 600ohm headphone, if you bought 600ohm headphone but your MB is without this support then
    it's possible that there will be no sound output for your headphone at all...  the 600ohm does not refer the adjustable volume   

  • New MSI Z97 Gaming 3 - very strange audio issues

    (sorry for the long post)
    Hi, I recently bought some computer parts from Newegg and built my first gaming pc yesterday, but when everything was finished setting up I noticed a major issue with the audio. Both the headphone jack on the motherboard and the headphone jack from the front panel connector aren't working correctly.
    If I plug in my headphones into the motherboard jack, the audio level is REALLY low. Like, even if I turn up the volume to 100% it sounds like it's only at 10%. I looked through the volume settings for the headphones and didn't notice anything wrong. Then I tried updating my drivers with the cd and ran the live update utility, but nothing changed. Also, the audio will sometimes make distorted/static sounds when the music itself is loud, yet I can still barely hear the music.
    The front panel jack is even worse! The sound is much more distorted/static-y when I plug in my headphones there.
    I know it's not my headphones fault because they work fine on my laptop. Even if I plug in a different pair, I still get the same low volume and static.
    I know the front panel issue is not because of the case. If I put the motherboard in an old HP case and plug in my headphones into the front panel on this case, same issue. (I know the old case normally works fine).
    I even tried running a linux live usb in case it was something wrong with Windows. It still had the same issues.
    My specs:
    MSI Z97 Gaming 3 ATX LGA1150
    Intel Core i5-4590
    MSI GeForce GTX 970
    Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB
    WD Blue 1TB
    XFX XTR Series 550W
    Windows 8.1 Pro
    I would really appreciate some help. It seems like I've tried everything. 

    Hi
    What is the BIOS version your board currently has?
    Try without graphics card and with single RAM stick.
    You could also try out of the case on non conductive surface like wooden table or motherboard box, and see if it works then. Might be something in either cases shortening the board.

  • MSI GTX980 Gaming sometimes not recognized by MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC

    I have been experiencing a very odd problem with my new hardware.
    Hardware
    Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
    CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
    CPU-cooler: Scythe Mugen 4
    RAM: G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
    Videocard: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB GAMING 4G
    PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold
    SSD: Crucial M550 2,5" 1TB
    Monitor#1: LG 34UM95-P
    Monitor #2: Eizo Foris FG2421
    OS: Windows 7 Professional
    Issue description
    The thing is that with 2 monitors connected the videocard is not recognized on a cold boot, but boots perfectly most of the time after a restart. In some cases a restart doesn't do the trick. I have even seen a couple of times that the monitor shows that windows starts and then the monitor loses the signal from the videocard before I can see the desktop (rare). With just 1 monitor attached the videocard is recognized. Als the IGP works fine, it's just the videocard that doesn't seem to be recognized when 2 monitors are connected (all combinations of DP, HDMI and DVI). When the computer has booted after one or more restarts and the videocard is recognized the computer works flawlessly, no problems whatever I do with it (desktop work, stressing hardware, playing games, etc.). Not a single sign of instability.
    It's just the cold boot and sometimes the soft boot or restart that causes the videocard to not being recognized with 2 monitors connected.
    What makes it really weird to me is that when the computer goes into sleep mode I can wake it up normally within say 10 minutes. But if I wait for let's say an hour the videocard is not transmitting a signal through the videocard.
    When IGP is enabled the computer boots and windows loads normally (I hear the sound of the Windows login), although the monitors stay black when connected to the videocard. Then switching the connectors from the videocard to the motherboard shows me a normal Windows login screen, but the videocard is not visible in the device list. When the IGP is disabled to bootup sequence just hangs until a restart works and the computer boots normally with the videocard getting recognized and working properly.
    Click sounds
    I noticed the motherboard makes 4 click sounds when booting, like relays flipping. I think it has to to with distributing power to al the components, since it looks like components respond to the click by turning led lights on. But I have to say I've never come across a motherboard before that makes click sounds. Is this normal?
    Tried fixes
    - Replaced the RAM with 100% working RAM from my other computer (Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9) -> problem persists
    - Disabed XMP -> problem persists
    - Replaced the PSU with another one (Cooler Master V550 Semi-Modular) -> problem persists
    - Reinstalled the videocard physically -> problem persists
    - Tried several combinations of connecting the 2 monitors to the videocard (all DP ports, HDMI and DVI) -> problem persists
    - Replaced the videocard with a MSI GTX970 Gaming (connected with 1xDP and 1xHDMI) -> problem persists
    Conclusions so far
    The cause can be found in the videocard or motherboard (probably BIOS issue).
    Who can shed some light on this issue?

    Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
    I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.

    BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
    I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
    UPDATE
    I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?

    Hi there!.
    I have just set up my new computer and i have problems with my microphone. My mainboard is a "MSI Z97 GAMING 5" and my box: NOX Coolbay SX.
    I have installed the drivers from disk and tryed also searching drivers on the web of MSI. I can hear with my speakers with no problems, same with my headset. But there is no way to use my microphone. I put it in the front panel, then i checked the control panel - sound and Windows tell me that the microphone is connected, but dont work. if i put it in the back panel, the realtek HD administrator tell me that something is connected in the microphone slot but WIndows dont detect it.
    in the BIOS, the HD Audio is ENABLED. I dont have any idea about what to do now. I have search on this forum but i havent seen this same issue. Can you help me?
