P6n sli-fi jack detection in vista x64

I have a Raidmax Smilodon case, and the front ports don't seem to work with jack detection. Now, are these ports just not compliant with the HD audio leads configuration? I thought this may have been the case and I took the jack leads from another computer (HP M7160n) which also has realtek HD audio and those worked fine with jack detection on the front ports with that computer, but also don't work on this motherboard. Is there maybe a bios update or a special set of drivers I'd have to use to get this working? I don't mind turning off jack detection too much and turning off my speakers (it's a home theater setup so it's remote) but still I'd like to have this convenience. Anyone have any solutions?
so just to clarify, the audio outputs fine, it's just the jack detection that doesn't work on the front port leads.

I'm just wondering, is anyone else having these problems? It's the MSI P6N SLI-FI, and a raidmax smilodon case, in vista ultimate x64. Anyone else at all have this problem with the front audio jacks? Jack detection works flawlessly on the rear jacks, so I don't know what's wrong..

P6N SLI Platinum Bios update in Vista x64

Just wondering how I update the bios for my P6N SLI Platinum in Vista x64? When I d/l the bios all the stuff is for 2000/me/xp. Why is there no vista support under anything?

Use the USB flashing tool developed here at the forums.

P6N SLI Platinum Won't Load Vista or XP

I trying to load an OS on a new build, but have run into an issue. The build went well, but the OS won't load.
While trying to load Vista (32bit) it says "Loading Operating System" and the progress bar goes all the way to the end but then never gets any further. It just sits there.
So, not being familiar with Vistas load I thought I would tried XP Home SP2. With this I am at least able to partition the drives and choose quick format but once it gets to 20% this too freezes.
So far I have gone into BIOS and chosen to load both safe defaults and optimized defaults, which makes no difference. I have also tried removing one or the other of the memory sticks, again no help.
Here is the system particulars.....

Everything is brand new. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regarding Dual Channel Mode:
Am I reading the manual wrong? In the illustration it shows 4 DIMMS, the closest to the CPU being DIMM1, followed by DIMM3 (which are yellow), then DIMM2 and lastly DIMM4 (which are orange), and it states that in order to take advantage of dual channel to place the memory in DIMMS 1 & 2 and/or DIMMS 3 & 4
Sorry. I did not realize MSI relabeled the DIMMs. You are right of course.
[CPU] - DIMM1 - DIMM23 - DIMM32 - DIMM4
[CPU] - SLOT1 - SLOT2 - SLOT3 - SLOT4

P6N SLI won't detect SATA drive

Specs:
MSI P6N SLI-FI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel MB, Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700, EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX, Seagate Barracuda 320 GB 7200 RPM, Corsair 2GB DDR2 Twin2X (x2), Windows XP Pro, Zalman 9700, Sony DVD/CD-RW, Antec True Power Trio ATX12V 650W
Im putting together a new build with the following components above. Everything is running great. The computer posts and begins the installation of Windows, however; when it comes time to format my SATA HD the motherboard can't seem to detect it. I've checked all my connections many times, and made sure my HD is connected to SATA port 1, but I can't seem to get the MB to detect the drive. Is there anything more I can try?

Is the hard drive detected during the initial BIOS post? If it is detected and Windows hangs during install, do you have it set in BIOS to run as AHCI? If so you would need to load the drivers before hand (F6).

Another CS4 and Vista x64 GPU SLi Support Question

After reading some of the forums I could not really find a clear answer on the following:
I am running Vista x64 Ultimate on a QX6850 system with 8GB of RAM. I also have 2x XFX8800GT graphics cards running in SLi with the latest Nvidia drivers (181.20). Dxdiag testing provides no errors.
The GPU support features in CS4 x64 (and x32) is greyed out with the text wording of no support in Photoshop standard. Based on some of the threads posted here, I tried enabling or disabling some settings in the Nvidia control panel, but the only one that seem to enable the GPU support is to deactivate SLi completely (which sort of defeats the purpose in 3D graphics).
Does CS4 support an SLi setup? If not, will there be any difference in performance with SLi disabled and using the CS4 GPU support vs the other way around?
Thank you for your assistance.

Negitive. It is written on the CS4 requirements section. Only 1 GPU.

Windows 7 x64 will not boot with memory upgrade (P6N SLI Platinum)

I recently bought 4x 2GB sticks of Crucial DDR2 memory. I originally had Windows 7 x86 installed, and with all four sticks in place there was no problem (except the memory limit for x86). All 8GB of memory registered fine though.
I decided to install the x64 version, but setup would hang at every step and installation took over 12 hours - Windows 7 would not boot either when it was complete. I removed all but one of the 2GB sticks and everything installed fine and it's up and running now. If I put the rest of the sticks back in, Windows begins to load but gets stuck at a black screen. I've swapped each 2GB stick in my system and they all work as long as only one is inserted at a time.
MSI P6N Platinum SLI (v1.7 BIOS)
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Intel Core 2 Quad @2.4GHz
4x 2Gb Crucial DDR2 @ 800 MHz
NVidia GeForce 8800 GTS 640Mb
I've done some google searching, and it seems like other people are having the exact same problem with the P6N boards, but I've never seen any solution...

The memorycontroller on that board is an oldie, got one myself and it will probably not run @800MHz with all slots occupied on a x64 OS.
That contoller is only rated for 667MHz when running all channells fully occupied.
The fact that you could run it so under x86 has probably to do with the fact it didnt adress all the memory, but only 3.25GB max and thus it was stable enough.
Now you are running an OS that uses all memory and thus it can become unstable while its running at a too high speed for the controller.
I had the same and could "only" get the memory to work @750MHz tops, before it decided to BSOD or bootloop on me.
This is inherent to its design (from NVidia, they made the chipset) and cannot be overcome, but dont worrie yourself, the speeddifference between 667MHz and 800MHz is negligible and will only show up if you run benches, in normal day to day use, you will hardly, if ever, notice it.
But, do you really need 8GB???
If you do gaming, internet, office and other "light" work, i.e. normal homeusage, 4GB is already more then enough.
8GB is nice if you use cad/cam, photoshop and other memory intensive stuff.

Vista x64 support; Core duo usage; SLI or Crossfire

With all the new hardware and OS advantages out there, it would be nice to speed more time doing than waiting . . .
1. Vista x64 support!
2.duo or quad processor: Lightroom could benefit from multi-threaded or distributed processing for speed or computational intensive tasks?
3. display: SLI or Crossfire support?

P6N diamond - Vista x64 install problem

Hey.
I’m the happy owner of a MSI P6N Diamond, but I have some problems when I try to install Vista.
My system as it is now:
CPU: E6600
GFX: 7900GT
RAM: 2x1gb Cell Shock PC6400
Running XP SP2 without problems on 2x36gb raptors in RAID0
Yesterday I decided to try Vista x64, because I have 2gb extra ram that I want to use. So I took one of my old IBM PATA 120gb HDDs, and tried to install vista x64, but then I ran into a problem. When I get to the point where it says "Completing Installation" and "Your Computer will restart several times during installation" It restarts but then nothing happens. The screen just went black (and the monitor is switching off), and I can hear the computer is still running (and there is still light in mouse and keyboard). If I try to restart, the the vista loading bar appears and then the same thing happens. Black screen and then nothing.
What to do?
I have tried disconnecting all my other drives and I have tried with only one memory block (1gb)
Hope somebody can help me
/Christian

Inside,
I had similar issues when I first installed Vista and I don't think it installed correctly as it is...
One thing I noticed was that the Memory in particular is undervolted with this board if the bios is set to auto. Make sure you manually set the voltage to your RAM manufacturers voltage. Do the same thing with the timings and speed...
I had everything set to auto at first and I couldn't even get Vista to unpack 100% until I manually set things...
I need to reinstall windows I think because my installation is still messed up as I didn't change the timings until I started getting BSOD on first boot... Try it let us know if it works.

P6N SLI with Geforce 8800 GTS 640 MB won't install Windows

Hi all,
After a reply in the topic for updating your bios.
I was advised to ask the solution for my question here before flashing my Mobo.
My Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 6600
4 GB DDR-2 (4 slots)
Geforce 8800 GTS 640 MB PCI-Express
Sitecom WL-171 wireless lan card.
500 GB Hitachi SATA Disk
1 DVD burn/reader
P6N SLI Mainbord with Beta Bios because it wasn't able to use 4 GB Ram at that time.
Zalman 460 Watt
Now the problem
First it was working but with a Geforce 7600 GT 256 PCI-Express.
I have upgraded it today to a 8800 GTS.
After this upgrade my Vista won't boot anymore, same for my Ubuntu.
What is causing the problem?
Is my Powersupply not strong enough or should I flash my bios?
Thanks in advance.
edit: Windows XP 32 or 64 bit. Vista 32 or 64 bit all gave the same stop error: 0x000007e
The knowledge base sais it is a driver problem?
But it isn't even installed.

Check VGA power cable too.

P6N SLI Platinum, audio driver update gives "No Driver was supported..."

I have the audio driver from the CD that came with the mobo, but I wanted to update it to the new version. Currently I have R1.67 2.32, I tried to install the driver (R1.83 2.51) from http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1140 but get the message "No Driver was supported in this driver package".
Also, I went to the Realtek site and got their even newer driver R1.84 but it asked me to remove the previous driver first, I'd rather check with the boards first to see what is going on.
P6N SLI Platinum
BIOS 1.4
Realtek Audio onboard

Could you please point me to where I can locate Live BIOS, first I hear of it. Thanks for the input btw.
Another off topic question. Does the Dual Core Center work ok with Vista x64? Wondering just in case before I get to using it. On my first Vista install is seemed to work, 2nd format it would come up with 2 error messages and not start:
"Error! unable to load ntuneoem.dll" and "Failed to load overclocking driver! This program must run as an administrator."
I have ntune installed on my 2nd format (which I found out doesn't work in Vista 64 properly) but cannot uninstall it from Add/Remove. A wizard window comes up and closes in the same seconds when I click uninstall. Tried to uninstall using the MSI CD which with I loaded it, still gives an error (tried to google the error msg but the msg is extremely rare and doesn't point to the problem). Going to have to manually remove it it seems and hope I get it all.

P6n-sli slow boot

Hi all,
So I've had the p6n-sli up and running successfully for about 2 weeks with absolutely no issues. All of a sudden one morning it started taking more than 5 minutes to boot the machine up. When I go to post, the lag occurs right after the hard drive is detected. Whats funny is that once it gets past this lag there is absolutely NO issue with the computer, it works great. The only way I have ever gotten it to boot up like it should was when i went in to the bios and loaded the fail-safe boot settings. the next time it booted up quickly. I then went in an loaded up the optimized defaults, and it also booted fine. However, every after boot after this (even when i re-load the fail-safe defaults in the bios), it has been the long boot, no matter what i do.
Here are my specs:
core2duo e6600
win vista 32-bit
2gb pc6400
geforce 8800 gts 320mb
320gb sata II
sony dvd burner
gigabyte pci ethernet card

Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
Adam

Sorry for the delay, and thanks for your help.
I've tried all of your suggestions, but they havent seemed to work. I now have the HDD as the only thing that is booted from, I removed the USB stick I use for readyboost from the computer, all to no avail.
What else could it be??

I can't get the system to recognize the router or network or even access the internet when plugged directly into the cable modem. I've power cycled plenty of times, and the other systems in my network work without fail. I've disabled UAC, windows firewall, and anything else that might be interfering on the software end. I have installed the latest drivers from the msi site, and have even installed the latest nforce drivers from NVidia's site as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Quote from: Maesus on 29-September-07, 09:00:00
1. make sure you enable LAN in the BIOS
2. make sure the LAN driver is properly installed in the BIOS
3. make sure your cable modem can detect your LAN - did you implement MAC address filtering? set the LAN speed to be detectable by the cable modem, ie 10Mbps?
1. The onboard LAN controller is enabled in BIOS
2. Not sure how to go about doing this exactly.
3. MAC address filtering is only enabled for wireless connections and it seems that the router is "seeing" the system. I have connected directly to the modem as well to no avail. I'm not sure how to set the LAN speed to be detectable to the cable modem.
"Check your network speed and try not to use Auto negotiation. Try setting it to 100Mbps full duplex, or 10Mbps full and see how it goes."
Where would I be able to adjust these settings exactly? Thanks for the help so far!

P6n sli sound problem

hey everyone, my problem is i cant seem to get my on board sound working. Ive installed the drivers from the disk i recieved with my mobo, but still no luck. Using XP media center w/ SP 2 . The mobo is the MSI P6N SLI-FI. Also when i go to control panel -> sound and audio devices thats where it says "no audio device". Any suggestions?

P6N SLI Microphone problem

Hi.
I had a P4N diamond motherboard that got fried, so I replaced it with P6N SLI, and my mic stopped working - its greyed out in the sound controls.
Now from reading some of the posts I figured that I might need to set some jumpers on JAUD pins on mobo, cuz I had them on p4n and mic worked. Problem is that theres no description in the manual on which pins should I set jumpers on. I wanted to copy the jumper layout from p4n to p6n, but the pins are different.
Here r the pins on P6N SLI:
1 MIC_L
2 GND
3 MIC_R
4 PRESENCE#
5 LINE out_R
6 MIC_JD - Jack detection return from front panel microphone JACK1
7 Front_JD - Jack detection sense line from the HD Audio CODEC
8 NC
9 LINE out_L
10 LINE out_JD - Jack detection return from front panel microphone JACK2
Does anyone know where should i set the jumpers?
I also thought of actually connecting front pannel to the mobo, but again theres a wire confusion.
I have TT Tsunami case, here r the wires I have from case:
Ear R Red
Return R White
Ear L Green
Return L Yellow
MIC IN Red
MIC VCC White
GND Black

the pin out from the motherboard follows Intel HD Audio header standard. I can't recall a working solution... but if you could tell what pin out connection you have tried out and what did not work, maybe that will help all of us.... thanks.

P6N SLI Won't boot from SCSI card

I have a P6N SLI motherboard with a SCSI card I'm trying to boot from. The BIOS sees the card (as indicated by the BIOS when "Quick Booting" is disabled), however, it doesn't run the option ROM on the card necessary for it to boot from the SCSI card. I've tried several different SCSI cards (BusLogic, LSI, QLogic, Adaptec) and using a couple different video cards, one of them PCI. The only things I have plugged into the board are the video card and the SCSI card. Nothing seems to work. Am I missing an option in the BIOS or something?
Thanks, Mark.

Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 13-October-07, 06:11:28
Did you ever try with devices attached to the SCSI card? After all, what you want to boot from in the end is a SCSI drive. Try hooking up a SCSI drive to the card, otherwise it is hard to tell if there even is a problem at all.
On the board I am using for example, the Intel ICH7DH RAID BIOS is only executed if there is more than one SATA drive hooked up to the ports hosted by the controller.
That RAID BIOS has hooks into the system BIOS so it knows whether to initialize itself or not. How a SCSI card works is by having a boot ROM which scans the SCSI chain to determine drives. My use in all this is to have my system boot from my SAN. I'm using a QLogic 2300 for this purpose - and yes, it is connected into the SAN. However, as I said, it doesn't matter what if any devices are connected. The system BIOS MUST execute the option ROM on the card before the system even KNOWS there are SCSI devices to boot from. I'm not even getting as far as that. the option ROM never executes.
Maybe I'm not explaining myself well and my use of "option ROM" needs explaining further. When you power on a system you'll see the following in order:
1. Memory detection and count.
2. IDE/SATA scan.
3. BIOS looks for external cards and option ROMs, if they exist, are executed (SCSI in this case). You see this stage when you see something like "Adaptec 2940 BIOS v xx.xx - Press Ctrl-A to enter settings" or something like that. Next you'll see a listing of devices connected to that card, SCSI devices in this case - assuming you have any plugged in.
4. After POST status screen - displays CPU, memory, any serial/parallel/USB IO configured and all devices initialized by the system BIOS and their assigned IRQs.
5. System BIOS loads and runs the boot sector on the configured boot device. If any option ROMs have hooked themselves into interrupt 0x13 (option ROM boot interrupt), i.e. SCSI, then a SCSI boot device is used.
My problem is that step 3 is skipped. My system goes straight from step 2 to step 4. Without the option ROM being called by the system BIOS, there's no chance of any SCSI device being used as a boot device.
A good explanation of what an option ROM can be found at:
