No Audio in K7N2G-ILSR

;(
I am initializing a new board, and I can't get the audio to work. I already read the audio thread on how to install the realtek drivers, but that does not seem to work for me.
I always get the following error:
"Cannot install this hardware.
The data is invalid"
I have tried installing the latest n-force2 drivers from nvidia.
I have uninstalled the audio drivers and installed the realtek drivers, automatically with realtek's setup software; and manually, by choosing driver update from the device manager and then choosing the realtek .inf files folder. The error is always the same.
Both n-vidia apu and realtek apu seem to be recognized, but drivers fail to install.
Any ideas, a board with out audio is not very useful. X(
HELP!!!

Okay, I solved the problem.
This is what I did if it can help someone.
I reinstalled XP, with the repair option istead of a full install. That brought back my system to pre-SP1; I also opted not to install all the unsigned (by Microsoft) drivers, thus did not install all the latest N-vidia drivers.
Then I installed manually (from the device manager) only the audio drivers. That solved the audio problem.
Then I installed with the setup program all the latest n-vidia driver and then all the XP updates.
Hope this can help someone.
Thanks Obi and Backwoodz for the help.

Audio problem? with K7N2G-ILSR board

I have recently built the following machine :
Motherboard : MSI K7N2G-ILSR
Processor : AMD 2200
Memory : Kingston 2 x 512MB
Hard Drive : WD 80GB
OS : Windows 2000 SP 3
The problem is if the on-board audio is enabled, the system either blue screens with a STOP error where it can't find the audio system file ( which exists ) or if it does boot into Windows, explorer.exe will crash. I have to go into Task Manager to start explorer.exe in order to see my desktop.
If I disable the on-board audio, no problem what so ever, but of course this is not a solution I want to live with.
I have tried to troubleshoot this myself : taken out a stick of memory, switched memory, updated the drivers to the latest, etc.
Also another thing to note, when I finally don't blue screen, the Windows 2000 System event log will have 10-15 of the following error messages, "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0".
I have told all of this to the MSI Support and they think it is either memory or a bad board not the drivers. I have also burned in my system and no problems were discovered.
Any help?
Thanks,
Wayne

Yes, I have tried with SP2. Currently I am using SP3, though. I am also using Bios 1.3
Here are my IRQ assignments.
IRQ Number   Device
1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
3   Communications Port (COM2)
4   Communications Port (COM1)
5   NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management
6   Standard floppy disk controller
8   System CMOS/real time clock
9   Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
12   PS/2 Compatible Mouse
13   Numeric data processor
14   Primary IDE Channel
15   Secondary IDE Channel
16   NVIDIA GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU
20   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
20   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
20   Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller

(Dolby(R) Digital)
20   NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio Codec Interface
20   OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
I have disabled the Raid in the device manager, otherwise that came up IRQ 11.
I guess I spoke too early about not crashing, this morning it took about 6 reboots in order to finally get to a login this morning. I would get a STOP error about not finding the audio driver.

Sometimes cannot start PC: problem with Hitachi SATA Hard drive and K7N2G-ILSR

I have major problem with my 160Gb SATA Hitachi hard drive and my MSI K7N2G-ILSR motherboard. Sometimes the PC can be started, sometimes it cannot.
After I installed a clean build of Windows XP Pro SP1 onto my new hard drive (as the only hard drive in my PC) and install all the necessary drivers, the system runs smoothly. However, after about 2 to 3 weeks, sometimes when I start the PC, it cannot detect the hard drive and hence it claimes that it cannot find any VMI Pool Data (i.e. no OS detected). What makes it really horrible is that, it is like the lottery everytime when I start the PC. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The highest record was 8 consecutive failures (by resetting or by turning the power off and on again) before I can start the machine properly. Also, the system sometimes just crashes in the middle of operating.
I have already sent the hard drive back to Hitachi. Got the same model of hard drive back as replacement, but the replacement has the same problem, except with the replacement drive the PC can be started eventually after many tries, while with the previous drive it is possible that the PC cannot be started until after a few days later.
Also, it seems that my drive can detect either SATA hard drive or PATA hard drive, but not both. (If I leave my old PATA drive connect in the primary IDE channel, Windows cannot detect the new SATA drive.)
Is my motherboard faulty? Can it only use PATA drive?
My PC's spec is as follows:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
512Mb PC3200 SDRAM (set to run at 166MHz)
Hitachi 160Gb SATA Hard drive on 1st SATA channel (Model #HDS722516VLSA80)
Sony DVD+-RW drive and Panasonic DVD-ROM drive on secondary IDE channel
Use onboard video (GeForce MX)
US Robotech V92 internal PCI modem
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Player soundcard
Onboard audio disabled
300W PSU
OS is Windows XP Pro SP1 (with all latest security patches up to date)

that is not entirly correct.
many harddrives just come with different ways to connect them.
the only sata drives i now that spins faster is western digital raptors 10k rpm.
all other is running at 7200rpm.
older drives run at 5400rpm
Yes to get the full benefit of RAID, the Raptors are the way to go.Anything else, no significant difference.

Sound configuration K7N2G-ILSR & 4.1 Klipsh

I am trying to hook up my Klipsch 4.1 speakers to the onboard audio of my new K7N2G-ILSR motherboard. I have tried every combination possible to get sound the front and rear speakers, including the subwoofer. I can get them to work, but not all together like they should. I have tried connecting to the digital SPIDIF connector, as well as the analog connectors on the mobo itself. I have successfully downloaded the latest drivers for the Nvidia Nforce Control Panel. I even downloaded the latest drivers from Realtek and tried them... no worky.
The manual shows the hookup with three connectors: The front speakers (one jack), the back speakers (one jack), and the subwoofer (one jack). The problem is that the Klipsch 4.1 setup only uses one connection for both the front and rear speakers, and one connection for the subwoofer. It appears that this configuration is not supported by the Nforce drivers.
Should I give up and go to a digital sound card or is there a way around this? Your help is massively appreciated!
Mike

Here is how I did it, let me explain what I learned first. Though the Klipsch speakers are some bad a$$ sound, they are not digital, they are all analog. So, with this in mind, a digital connection is not possible. Here is what you get with the k7n2g-ilsr:
The motherboard back panel has three mini-jacks for sound;
1 microphone (analog)
1 line in (analog)
1 line out (analog)
The SPIDIF bracket; or S-bracket (as named by MSI), has two mini-jacks:
1 LR/RR (left rear & right rear) (analog)
1 CEN/SUB (center & subwoofer) (analog)
It also has these outputs:
1 coaxial out (digital)
1 SPIDIF jack out (digital optical)
So, because the Klipsh speakers use two jacks; one for the front pair and one for the rear pair, you can't plug the front pair in to the SPIDIF bracket, because the only other analog jack - supports the center and subwoofer channel for 5.1 surround only. The only other way to cover the front channel is to do what Mooncrater said, plug it in to the line out on the motherboard back panel.
The thing that was stumping me on this whole setup is that in the Nvidia Nforce Control Panel, when you configure an analog surround group, the "test tone" does not make a sound for the subwoofer, which made me think it was not receiving a signal. This apparently is a flaw in this configuration program. However, after you successfully get the "test tones" to the four speakers, exit and try the system out anyway. It should work. If i had known this, I could have saved hours of frustration.
I disagree with Mooncrater on this part though (nothing personal man, I think you are great); I could not get this config to work with the "digital output" and "Dolby digital encoding" boxes checked. If you think about it, these are analog speakers, it wouldn't do you any good to check them anyway.
With all of this figured out (the hard way), I still think I am having problems, but not with the configuration. Sometimes my right rear channel works, sometimes it doesn't. I have tried switching cables and speakers, but the problem lingers. This one I may have to take up with Klipsh.
Thanks for all of your help! You guys rock! Now, I do too.

First time install probs with sata raid drive using k7n2g ilsr

hi all!!!
this is the first time i have tried 2 use a sata raid hdd. i dont use a raid drive for my c:, the raid drive is just extra space.
first i formated my pc. i installed the raid drivers, then xp. my pc worked fine. but then after a week it was time 2 try plug the drive in.
when i got my k7n2g ilsr motherboard i di not get a manual. so with the raid drivers installed, i just pluged in the raid drive. the drive seemed fine.... i formatted it and put a couple of games on. but after an hours usage the games would crash (high pitched tone instead of the audio, then full freeze).
i have tried putting these games back on my original drive and they work fine......
anyway....
i wanted 2 know if anyone had any ides what i was doing worng??? are there any settings in the bios that need changing when installing a raid drive????
thanks for any help!!!!!!!

ok still formatting drive..... looking over the files on the msi site for my motherboard it has 2 files available for raid drives:
the 'Promise Serial-ATA RAID Drivers' ( which i have installed)
and the 'Promise Serial-ATA RAID Utility' (which i dont hav installed)
do i need the Promise Serial-ATA RAID utility?? and if so how do i install it?? there are no setup files just dll files like the driver.... is istallation the same as the driver?
again, i thank u for your help!!!!!

K7n2g ILSR and SPDIF output not working

just got a new k7n2g ILSR mobo and cant get the coaxial spdif output to work.
Have attached the s bracket connector and a coaxial cable from that to my videologic digitheatre. My speakers don't seem to be receiving any signal however. Checked the audio settings on the nforce control panel and all seems sweet. any suggestions?
Thanks for any replies

I have the very same problem. I thought that the S-Bracket was defected so I borrowed one from a friend of mine. We have the very same board and we bought it the very same day. And it did not work either. :(
Then I made a little test. The user's manual displays the pin layout of the S-Bracket connector on the mobo so I connected two little wires to the appropriate connectors and connected the wires to a standard RCA connector. Then I connected this to my receiver's coax port and it worked!
So it seems to me that the S-Bbracket was (and IS) defected. Then I thought that my friend and I had the same faulty series of S-Bracket but now I don't know what to think...

Hi BG-USER,
Since your not looking for help I guess you are posting on here to complain to MSI. None of the people in this Forum are MSI employees so they won't get your message. Complaints are made by contacting MSI directly. You can call them or e-mail them.

[nForce] K7N2G-ILSR network connection problems

My brother's system is as follows:
AthlonXP 2000+
MSI K7N2G-ILSR
2x256 MB Crucial PC2100
Emermax Powersupply
Generic DVD ROM
LG DVD burner
MSI TV @nywhere
WinXP Home SP2
His computer has been working more or less perfectly, although the TV card occasionally causes some trouble. Today, he was no longer able to get on the internet. From both the Network connections and Device Manager screens, his LAN interface is gone. Only the 1394 interface shows up.
So far, I did a system restore to last week, which had no effect. I made sure the BIOS hadn't disabled it for some reason, too, but that isn't the problem. I manually installed the network adapter, and it said that the device could not start, error code 10. The network adapter will not work in Safe Mode with Networking, either. I tried the MS Knowledge base article regarding missing LAN icons, but that article was for situations in which the icons were gone yet everything still functioned, so it didn't really apply. Reinstalling drivers had no effect. I can ping localhost, but that could just be because the 1394 connection can act as an internet connection.
Any ideas? I've not done a repair of Windows on the machine, but I'm not sure that would help. I do have an extra network interface pci card I could put in if it is simply a problem of his onboard connection having died. If I do this, is there a particular PCI slot that I should preferably use to avoid IRQ conflicts?

As far as I know drivers can be installed in SafeMode, but your LAN wont work till in normal.
A repair install is not a bad idea, as Windows is very fond of its own drivers.
LAN and sound problems are often early signs of a PSU near the end. You wouldn't know the specs of the Enermax? I guess it is alright, but you never know.
As the TV-card is problematic, try that one in another slot. Nowadays devices happily share IRQs without problems, but some older devices including older mobos (which is not the case here) were very conservative. ...I'll have to look in my drawer, wait a sec, please. - - --
"The use and sharing of IRQs aren't mentioned in my MSI manual, (due to the APIC function I think), so I had to go to some ASUS manuals. As standards are standards, I believe things can't be to different. If someone has any addings or suggestions please come forward, so I can adjust the table.
*Please note that this is generally speaking and mainly for ASUS boards a few years old!
**Please note that you should not have any sharing with the IDE controller or similar!
***Please note that it is a good thing to have expansion PCI sound cards in slot 3!
****Please note that surprisingly enough it looks like PCI slot 2 would be free for any device, but AGP cards get hot and bigger so it is not a great idea.
IRQ sharing table
PCI 1 shares with PCI slot 5
2 shares with AGP and PCI slot 6, or sometimes with onboard IDE
3 shares not, or sometimes with onboard audio/modem
4 shares with onboard LAN
5 shares PCI slot 1
6 shares with AGP and PCI slot 5
AGP slot shares with PCI slots 5 and 6
USB 1 shares with USB 2, 3 and USB 2.0
2 shares with USB 1, 3 and USB 2.0
3 shares with USB 1, 2 and USB 2.0
USB 2.0 shares with USB 1, 2, and 3
Onboard audio/modemshares not, or sometimes with slot 3
Onboard LAN shares with PCI slot 4
Onboard IDE shares not, or sometimes with PCI slot 2 "

K7n2g-ilsr IGP graphics interference

When using the IGP, I see moving diagonal lines on my desktop.
I don't think it's a memory compatibility issue since I don't experience any reboots, lock-ups, crashes, etc. I suspect it's the PSU but I need a second opinion on this.
I already experimented with the bios settings with no luck, even on default.
Here's my specs:
XP 1,700+
MSI K7n2g-ilsr
2 pcs. twinmos 512 ddr400 (twinmos chips)
Enermax 330 watts (+3.3v=30A, +5v=32A, +12v=12A, combined +3.3v and +5v= 160W)
I know that the 12v rail is too low, but like I said, I don't experience reboots and everything, just the annoying interference.
I haven't got this problem whenever I use a separate agp card (geforce2mx)

Your combined is low as well...should be more like 200W to get enuff power to this setup...

USB 2.0 problem (K7N2G-ILSR and HP PSC 2210)

I'm using a K7N2G-ILSR mainboard in combination with a HP PSC 2210 all-in-one printer. The printer sometimes stops printing and produces an error. The print can not be deleted and I have to reset the computer.
I'm using the latest HP drivers for the printer, Windows XP Pro with all Windows Update fixes and the latest upgrades for teh mainboard (Live-Update).
Is this a known error and is there a fix/workaround (can I set the USB in the BIOS to 1.1 only (instead of 1.1 and 2.0)??
According to HP it is related to the chipset and the USB driver. Until now I have not find a document explaining the problem for this mainboard and a proper solution.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks for your help!
Cees

Cables are cables still at this point in the game so it could be that you have a faulty cable but there are no special 2.0 cables to buy...
Never been a big fan of the All-in-one printer/scanner/copiers, I've had nothing but problems most of the time when my clients buy them...but they still buy them...if you think about it they really only came out just over a year and a half ago so that technology isn't quite mature yet...
I doubt that it has anything to do with your setup directly, it sounds like a driver issue and one that's clashing with another driver that's used for something else in your machine...no I don't know what cause I don't know what you are using in your system heheheh
I had a client that bought one of the newer photo printers, why I don't know cause he doesn't even own a digital camera, but he just had to have one, but anyway, it would error out everytime he tried to print to it...I reloaded his system and systematically added in one component at a time...writing down everything I did...when I put in his ATI All-In-Wonder card and loaded the software for the TV part lo and behold when I printed I got the error again...couldn't fix it for my life either with all the newest drivers from ATI and HP...went backwards in time for older drivers to no avail...the guy stiffed me on the bill for over $1000.00 and I've not heard from him again so I can't tell you if he fixed it or not at this point...

SATA controller on K7N2G-ILSR "supports IDE"

I have a K7N2G-ILSR with the onboard Promise 20376 Serial ATA controller, which supposedly supports using the IDE3 port as a separate IDE channel to connect hard drives and CDRoms and whatnot. I have not been able to simply get the SATA controller to work with IDE. I have tried connecting a hard drive and optical drives. With the single hard drive, instead of simply booting like it should, it tells me that no array is defined and asks me to create one. Since I have data on the hard drive already and don't want to risk erasing it by "creating an array", I didn't push my luck. With optical drives, it is the same story, except that of course I can't create an array with an optical drive, even if I try (nor does the setup utility let me). I am also thinking about purchasing a SATA adaptor for the hard drive, but am afraid that it is going to ask me to create an array again (again, fear of losing data). So, how do I get the IDE3 port to work as advertised? And how would I get the SATA working in a non-RAID configuration?

They don't advertise that...
On-Board IDE
An IDE controller on the MCP2/MCP2-T chipset provides IDE
HDD/CDROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66
operation modes
Can connect up to four IDE devices
Serial ATA Interface (Optional)
Support 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133
- RAID O or 1 are supported
- RAID function works w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D
• Connect up to 2 Serial ATA devices and 1 ATA133 device
This is from the website, I don't see that they say you can use the SATA as regular IDE drives...they are part of the raid controller period...the misconception comes by thinking it's used like we use a regular IDE but you have to create an array as I said in order to use them...you can select one of the raid drives to use as a boot drive via the BIOS but you have to enable the drive in the raid setup before it's accessible thus creating a seemingly IDE device...I don't have any SATA drives here atm so wasn't able to test this part of the MB yet...and I've beat my board into submission now and have to RMA it from doing so much testing with it...if I do get another one I'll see about getting a SATA drive and see what it does when I load the drivers for the raid in a non-raid setup and post my results...I agree that they don't explain it well either but I've never thought the manuals were written the best for most boards out there since English isn't their first language...something gets lost in the interpretation unfortunately heheheh The raid doesn't support opticals at all so that's not an option here...
Hope that helps...
Cheers!! 8)

BIOS failure at startup K7N2G-ILSR

I have just put together a new machine with a K7N2G-ILSR motherboard, an Athlon 2500+ processor, and an IDE disc, not much more than that. At startup, I get the first MSI screen, but when the BIOS screen is then shown, it disappears after about half a second. Instead I get a new screen "Scanning IDE drives", which after about a second gives the message: "No drive attached to Fast Trak controller, The BIOS is not installed".
I cleared the CMOS, and then I actually got the BIOS screen (because it said CMOD CRC error), but the next time I restarted the machine I was back with the same problem as before.
It is possible to enter BIOS setup if I press delete at exactly the right time when the BIOS screen flicker, but I have not find any configuration that would help. Further, after I cleared the CMOS, now my processor is not recognized in detail, it just says AMD Athlon. Before I did that, it actually said Athlon 2500+, how do I make it identify it exectly?
I would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

Well, the manual does not say a word about the "fast trak controller" is, and it is not clear what kind of drives that are referred to in that error message. Is this only about Serial ATA drives, or what?
What I have now figured out is that the POST screen (where it is said that DEL will take you to bios) will never appear if the full start MSI screen is enabled, which it is by default. The manual does not say a single word about this, but it refers to the POST screen as the first screen, where one can invoke the bios setup.

Board killed after changing FSB? K7N2G-ILSR

I have a K7N2G-LISR. After I changed the FSB which was at 100MHz by default, the D-Bracket showed that the CPU was damaged. I cleared the CMOS and than it showed damaged memory. I tryed the RAM and the CPU with another PC and both were OK.
