MSI Z97-G43 Gaming microphone not working

Hi,
I installed my new MSI Z97-G43 today but my microphone doesn't work... It still works on my old computeur...
I tried to connect it in front panel too, it doesn't work too...
What can i do?
BR

Are you using Windows 7 64bit??  Did you install all the drivers in the CD???
Is the audio sound working properly??
Which particular port did you try to plug the Microphone and how did you test your microphone?

  • MSI Z97-G45 Gaming can not POST or enter BIOS but has display

    Hi
    First post here and sadly a technical one. I just bought the following hardware:
    - MSI Z97-G45 GAMING MoBo (no idea on BIOS since I cannot enter it at all)
    - Intel Core i5 4690K s1150
    - 16GB (2x8GB) Patriot Viper 3 Black Mamba 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Dual/Quad Channel Kit [PV316G160C9K]
    - Corsair CX750M PSU
    and installed the hardware with the following old hardware that I am carrying over:
    - 2 X Hitachi 1TB Sata HDD
    - 2 X GTX 275 SLI
    To begin with, my existing drives were setup as RAID 0 and has a installed Windows 7 64-bit on there already. I unregistered the Product key before taking it all apart with the idea of registering it again once the new hardware was all together.
    So basically, when I received all the new parts yesterday and put them all in. Upon powering on, I see the MSI Dragon logo fullscreen with the option to press DEL or F11. I let it continue without pressing any key to see how it goes. After the dergaon logo, all I get is "Missing Operating System" at the top which did not really worry me and I assumed it would be realted to the Raid not setup (right?)
    So I rebooted the PC and decided to press DEL to enter BIOS. However, every time I want to enter the BIOS the screen turns black! The display is still functional though from what I can tell (the display does not lose signal).
    Following that, I reset the CMOS from behind by pressing the button with a pen tip. Starting the PC again now gives me a display of all my hardware that it detected (correct CPU, Correct amount of ram, correct HDD etc...). It also gives me two options... F1 to Enter setup or F2 to Continue. Pressing F1 displays the text "Entering Setup..." at the bottom but again it fails to enter the BIOS (it freezes on the above screen - does not turn black this time) and choosing F2 to Continue freezes as well.
    I have tried to boot up with the following changes:
    - No GPU and use on board VGA only
    - One stick of ram in multiple slots
    - No HDDs connected at all
    - I've checked the CPU to make sure no bent pins
    - Reconnected the PSU cables into the motherboard
    I should also mention that when I test it on the bare minimum (CPU, PSU, 1 stick of ram) I get A9 in the lower corner before the dragon logo appears.
    Right now I am out of ideas and any suggestions would be helpful or at least some insight in what problems I described may indicate. Thanks!

    Can you post your board's serial number. This contains the manufacture date. From that one could deduce the BIOS version on that board.
    As for the windows installation from your previous system, you would be very lucky if you were able to boot with that. Perhaps force safe mode if and when you are able to boot, and then try installing the new drivers. The problem is that with the old drivers still in the boot menu, you are probably heading down a slippery slope trying to re-use it. A clean installation would be advised.
    Whatever is on the HDD now should however not prevent you from getting into the BIOS.
    The fact that your CPU is recognised by its make doesn't mean that its supported. The CPU ID is probably read by the BIOS, but the microcode of the CPU may be missing in the BIOS support. I am trying to think of possible reasons here, and these are just some of my current ideas as to why you may not be able to get into the BIOS.
    Have you tried your MB outside the case yet, i.e. on a non conductive surface, i.e. wood or cardboard to eliminate any chances of a potential short?
    Also, you may want to check your CPU seating again and carefully inspect the CPU socket pins to ensure that none were bent or are not making proper contact
    Yep here is the serial number: 601-7821-050B1405415963
    Yeah I didn't really expect to have too much luck with the original windows 7 installation but I had no choice since my last computer failed to power on (faulty PSU I suspected).
    However, as you also mentioned, I do not think it would prevent me from reaching the BIOS setup.
    Hopefully the above serial can make some sense for you but I do recall some sort of date after a CMOS reset at the top... I think it was 21 April or May 2014 or so. This was next to the following: E7821IMS v2.0.
    Once I get home, I will try a few things like you suggested but trying to get as much info as I can before I get home so I have a few things to try.
    Thanks again!
    EDIT - as a side note, I also contacted the Online Retailer I got it from and the first response from them was that the DEBUG "A9" code meant it was the RAM not fully inserted. That is another thing I have to be 100% sure of but I am fairly sure it was fully clicked in on both sides... but you never know!

    Yes, although just a little oc.

    2.Can MSI VGA Boost feature work with other brand graphics card? or it only work with MSI Graphics card ?
    Only with MSI vgas of the Gaming series (= even other MSI vgas won't work)
    Quote
    3.If I only play games with out overclocking which board should i buy for worthiness? MSI H87-G43 Gaming or MSI H87-G43
    Choose what you like. Both are H87 boards hence no cpu oc possible anyway. VGA boost is not really worth buying a board for. The Gaming board features other extras like Killer LAN and enhanced onboard sound.

  • MSI Z97-G45 Gaming VS MSI Z97 Gaming 5

    Hello there!
    As I received much of good help on these forums already, here comes my next help request. I will have to decide which motherboard should I buy soon (upgrading to Intel Core i7 4790K), I have done some research and found out that these two models I mentioned in the thread subject would be of my main interest. I am, however, a bit uninformed, as I could not find any test of MSI Z97-G45 Gaming. I have a few questions about those two.
    First of all, Z97-G45 has a fast boot in official specification on MSI Global and Gaming 5 does not say anything about it. Does it mean that Gaming 5 boots long? How I should understand that?
    I think Z97-G45 looks better, that red dragon is really fancy, however Gaming 5 laminate looks more black, which makes it also atractive to me.
    All that I really need to know is, which one of these will perform better for CPU overclocking? Is there any difference at all? The price is really simillar. I also see that G45 does not contain an M.2 and neither of them got Sata Express. Could anyone explain if Sata Express or M.2 are really worth having them right now? Will M.2 improve my current SSD speeds? And Sata Express will improve my HDD speed? Or how does it work? Will it only boost up drives that are particularly made to work with those connectors?
    Thanks in advance!

    All modern mainboards support fastboot as it is a Windows8 feature.

    Z97 Gaming 5 is the more modern board. It offers more ram speed dividers. M.2 is pretty much standard for Z97 boards so G45 is more an option for those still willing to use slower msata devices. Of course M.2 is only any use for you if you are using a PCI-Express based (!) M.2 SSD. If you buy such an M.2 SSD (e.g. Plextor M6E) then it will speed up data transfer a lot as SATA 6GB/s limits latest generation SSDs already. M.2 on Z97 boards being PCI-Express based is running directly through PCIe lanes to the CPU while throughput of SATA is limited by the SATA interface. SATA Express being a similar technology is not supported by both boards but devices are also not available really.
     

  • MSI Z97 GD65 GAMING bios A dead

    I had been using live update for a couple of years now (I had previous MSI boards), but it crashed a couple of days ago whilst upgrading to 2.7. I have switched to bios b which is running 2.0 (I never touched it before so I would have a default back-up available). Anyway, MFLASH doesn't work, if I use the stated method on these forums it just resets after 5 seconds to bios a and then comes up with the usual 3b leading to F2 reboot loop. I tried the forum updater tool, but that doesn't work with my board anyway as there is no bios available on these boards for the Z97 GD65 Gaming. I tried Win98 DOS with FPT, but I get an error come up saying that FPT.exe is not compatible. Is there any other way to restore bios A? I noticed the FPT link on these board has been removed.
    Also, Live update tells me that 2.7 is available, and that's what it tried to update to, but when I check the MSI website, it says that 2.5 is the latest version (which is what I already had installed, so basically live update bricked bios A for no reason whatsoever). Yeah, not happy at the moment.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    EDIT: Pulled the error log from FPT:
    Error 201: [FPT.exe] cannot be run on the current platform.

  • MSI Z77A-G43 Gaming Crossfire

    Hi there,
    It´s my first post here so greetings all  I have a question regarding MSI Z87 G43 GAMING motherboard and crossfire. I noticed, a bit too late, that the G43 does not crossfire in a x8/x8 mode! Is this a performance compromiser? I mean, I´ve noticed a great scaling in BF4 with seetings in High (no AA; with SSAO) running the game with a 3 screen display - compared with single card I went from 50-80 FPS to 70-130.
    So, if I understand correctly from the board specs, I have one graphic card at x16 and the other x4?
    Thanks for your attention.

    So... I´ve been searching other MSI alternatives towards minimizing the cost of my ignorance. I found MSI Z87-G55 - 3 PCIe 3.0x16. The price is 30€ less than the G45 (110€ vs 140€) and the only visible diference is the network adapter (Realtek® RTL8111G Vs Killer E2205). Can you tell me if this is a good choice?
    My specs:
    Core i7 4770K
    Gskill 2*8GB 1866
    SSD Samsung 840
    ASUS 7970ghz DCII Top
    PowerColor R9280X
    Also checked the G55 OC Genie feature in BIOS. I´m currently using that with my G43 and it´s very simple efficient and absolutely stable and trouble free. Is the BIOS in the G55 similar to the G43? Hope you could answer all this m8... sorry for such inquiry :P
    Thanks again for your attention

  • MSI Z97-G45 GAMING Sata controller performance

    Hello
    I have an question about the Intel Z97 Express Chipset Sata 6gb controller on my MSI Z97-G45 GAMING motherboard.
    Is there any difference between the sata ports performance that can make different results when testing the hard drives. I have an Seagate 3Tb HDD and an WD RE 3Tb HDD and the Segate seems faster. When testing the drives with the manufacturers test suites Seagate takes about 1min to test and WD takes 2min to test and in HD Tune Pro Segate shows a faster speed and a more even curve.
    Could this big difference between the harddrives be affected with which sata port that is being used or are the all the same?
    Thanx
    Niklas

    Im quite sure my sata cables in my new computer says 6gb on it but im not 100 sure. Im using Asus black Sata cables with black/white connector and the Sata cable included with the motherboard. So there should not be any problem.
    From reading this test it seems there no difference between 6gb and 3gb cables as long as they are high quality cables from known manufacturers. I only own Asus red 3gb cables in my old computer and black/white Asus 6gb cables and the ones included with the modtherboard in my new computer.

  • MSI Z87-G43 gaming + i5 4690K compatibility

    hello there
    so, i built a new pc a few days ago and i decided to go with these 2 options (msi z87-g43 gaming + i5 4690K)
    anyway, i saw that some people have issues and that it's kind of a roll of a dice whether this specific motherboard will boot with the 4690K or not. From what i saw, it depends on the motherboard's manufacture date and if it has a A5/A6 bios version or not.
    now, what i'd like to know is; is there a way to check the bios version of the specific motherboard without opening the box? (i'll have my new hardware probably tomorrow)
    i'm really thinking about getting another mobo, i'm not sure what i'll do though.. A friend told me, even though it wont have the A5/A6 bios version, it'll probably  boot and i'll be able to update it through windows. He also told me there's a really small chance i'll need another cpu to update the bios and then put my cpu on the mobo.. As i said, roll of a dice.
    Any advices/tips?

    Interestingly the BIOS is newer than the board.

  • Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
    I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
    Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

  • Internal Webcam and Microphone not working after Screen Fix

    I own a HP Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook, and last week I tried to use the webcam and the microphone for the first time in a few months.
    However I was shocked to find that Skype kept saying that the webcam was not detected. The microphone also could not register any sound.
    Device Manager did not show any imaging devices or the webcamera, even after setting it to view non-present devices.
    A check using msinfo32 did not review the webcamera either, and there were no problem devices.
    Control Panel >> Sound showed that the Internal Microphone using IDT High Definition Audio Codec was enabled and working, however it could not detect any sound. All drivers are checked to be up-to-date.
    I suspect this has something to do with the screen repair last month which a HP on-site technician came down to replace my screen, although I cannot be 100% sure. Although the screen is now working, the technician did not do a good job reassembling the screen - the bottom left corner of the screen cover has not be able to attach properly to the screen. 
    I have gone through my BIOS setup to make sure that there is no webcam disabled.
    I have tried rolling-back and reinstalling the drivers for the microphone but it did not work.
    I have tried uninstalling CyberLink YouCam (laptop preinstalled webcam software).
    Please help, these two components are very important to me as I am going overseas soon. The laptop is still under warranty.

    Hey ajun,
    Thank you very much for the information!
    For troubleshooting your Webcam, I would suggest taking a look at the document Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). I would suggest the two options Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, ect.), and Webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
    For your internal microphone not working either, please take a look at the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). From this document, I would suggest following the top two symptoms.
    Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
    Good luck, and have a great day!
