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.

  • 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 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.

    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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • K8N NEO PLAT - Onboard sound problems

    I got a really confusing problem, maybe one of you could help me with...
    My brother has s754 k8n neo plat motherboard and he has always used the onbard sound controller. Yeasterday we formatted his computer, and did a fresh XP installation. Since then i cant get the sound to work properly, only if i put the headphones in the "blue" input instead of the green. The sound is very low but works there.....I installed the latest Realtek Audio driver from the MSI page. According to windows the sound works perfect, no driver issues reported or anything...The mp3's start playin but theres NO sound....
    Could it be driver issue? Updated to the lates BIOS also btw.
    Appreciate all help, thx...

        Hi, we are sailing on the same boat!

    I do not know, why such a typical problem exist with my system?
    Any help from good techies shall be very useful.
    Thanks.

  • KT4V onboard sound problems (alot)

    hello,
    just recieved a KT4V MSI motherboard today, installed it ok, turned on onbaord sound, downloaded latest onboard drivers and configured it for 4 speakers and a microphone socket. I open half life up and only the front 2 speakers work, i exit HL and look at the settings and its changed it back to 2 channels (although it still says 4 channel it changes rear to line in) Operation Flashpoint also only runs on 2 speakers, i know both these games support surround sound as i used to have a SBlive5.1 which worked ok with them.
    Also when playing music the rear speakers work but sound low quality.
    Please please help me with this
    thank you
    tim

    I have the same problem with my KT4VL. The front 2 speakers are loud as normal, but the rear speakers make almost no noise. I have a 4.1 ch speaker system and use the AC97 onboard in 4 ch mode(with the software set to convert the Line in port to rear). The subwoofer is fine no matter what, just the rear. When the MOBO is set to 2 ch stereo, sound comes from all speakers but the surround is lost as it just splites the stereo. I do not have a clue as to solve the problem and want to very much.
    This is my thread on the subject so far:  http://www.msi.com.tw/program/service/forum/index.php?threadid=19536&boardid=13&styleid=1&sid=bf5e069916a52f2877c4dc62f0685329&page=1#8
    Maybe a driver problem but I have the lastest. Hope the MSI people can help us on this. Welcome to the MSI forums!

  • Via onboard sound problems

    The problem I have is the noise from the speakers every time the computer does anything. The noise sounds like high speed Morse code or digital noises from all the different components including Windows. If I move the mouse the screaming noise changes, bring up an application and the noises are different again but still with the familiar digital signal sounds. I suppose the nearest sound-a-like noise would be from a modem doing its handshake across a telephone.
    Any ideas of what this may be? I have updated the drivers and it made no difference whatsoever.

  • K7t266 Pro2a onboard sound problems

    Hi,
    Everything works really well on my PC except the sound.  I cannot hear anything, there is simply no sound.  My motherboard, the k7t266 Pro2a has an onboard soundcard and I can't seem to get it to work  :(
    I am running Windows XP, by the way.
    I've installed the DirectSound AC'97 Audio drivers, checked the volume, checked to see if the speakers were plugged into the right hole, and I checked to see if the jumpers were correctly fastened.  No luck :( Oh yea and I checked to see if it was enabled in the bios. Still doesn't work...
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

    yea i have and they work just fine, apparently my computer detects that it's there, and i can run wimamp, and I can't hear the sounds.

  • Neo 875P Onboard Sound Problem

    I'm having problems getting surround sound to work on my MSI Neo 875P with my Logitech Z-640 speakers.  It only works in Morrowind and the during the SoundMAX control panel tests.  Not with media in Windows, and not in other games.
    In other games it just seems like the output to the rear channels is really weak.  If you put your ear to it you can hear it, but it's not working as it should.
    If I plug my front speakers into the rear channel port on my mobo, and then put the rear speakers in the front channel port (that is, switch their places), the front ones are all quiet and the back speakers play loud.
    Thus, it is not the speakers which are messed up, it's the output coming from my mobo.  But it's configured to run in surround sound!  And surround sound does work in Morrowind!
    Any ideas?

    I have a 865PE Neo2-FIS2R (MS-6728) with version 1.3 BIOS and I'm having the same problem.  I get sound from the rear speakers only from the Speaker Test in the C-Media 3D Audio Configuration program.
    All other audio output only comes through the front speakers.  Winamp set to output to Direct Sound does not produce rear speaker sound either.
    When doing the speaker test, there is also a crackle noise as it switches between speakers.
    Speaker setting is 4CH; speakers are plugged into the on-board audio jacks; I've verified that everything is connected properly.  The speakers work fine as they work in the Speaker Test (and they worked fine with my previous machine and audio card).
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers, both from the CD and from the website, with no change.
    Any suggestions?  :-)
    Thanks,
