P6N SLI Platinum HD Digital Sound Issue

Hi Guys!
I am wondering if anyone can suggest any ideas. I ran Coaxial Digital Cable from the Coaxial Port to Coaxial Input On my receiver. It says its working everywhere I check on the computer. But I am not getting any sound output at all. Any ideas would be GREATLY Appreciated! Thanks!

I have those: eSata, Firewire, and SPDIF port on this board yet, BIOS is currently flashed at 2.7 as mentioned. Thanks.
Then they clearly did return the Platinum board to you, as the P6N does not have those extras.
And (apparently) the v2.7 BIOS works with the Platinum as well as the plain P6N. Fascinating. Maybe you want to contact Tech Support about it, but if it's working--why are you concerned?
I'm interested because my P7N Platinum has a v1.3 BIOS, and (like your P6N) the lesser-capability board, the P7N, is up to BIOS v2.2. So I have wondered "Why is the simpler board getting more recent updates than the more sophisticated one?" But my system is working perfectly--it ain't broke so I don't need to fix it!

  • P6N SLI Platinum (MS-7350) BIOS issue

    I RMA'ed my P6N SLI Platinum MS-7350 and got back another identical board. However, this one has BIOS 2.7 in it. Bios 2.7 according to MSI page on this board is actually for the P6N SLI (also a MS-7350). The latest BIOS for the Platinum is 1.7. Im confused. Should I reflash it to 1.7 so that it has the proper BIOS instead of a BIOS from the P6N SLI not platinum? I know I have the platinum because the box says so AND the board has the copper heat piping across it unlike the MSI picture of the SLI (non-plat).

  • MSI P6N SLI Platinum bios 1.7 issue

    I was running an e4300 at 3.0 with vcore up 1 bump, nb up 1 bump and memory at 2.0w with bios 1.1 . I updated to 1.7 and now I can't get to be stable. I ran orthos for 3 hours , no errors. But my computer locks up randomly now, freezes up. It never did that before. Sometime it won't restart without clearing the cmos. I only updated the bios because I was thinking of getting an e5200.
     Any help would be great. Running my computer at 1.8 makes me sad.

    Use the 1.6 version.
    Ive been running it for a year and a half and have zero issues with it.

  • P6N Sli Platinum front audio panel and CPU temp voltage issues

    Hi All,
    I got my P6N Sli Platinum yesterday, build up my computer without any major issues. However I have noticed that my audio front panel does not work. It could not detect my microphone when i plug it into front auido panel, it works fine for the rear auido panel though.
    Another issues is I highly doubt the accuracy of CPU temp sensor. Msi 's software monitor reports my CPU temp is around 19-20 degree, I know that's too good to be true even I am using a water cooling system. Btw my cpu is E6600. Anyone else has the similar issues?
    The third, I notice my CPU voltage is bouncing between 1.1 to 1.24 in CPU-z. And the multiplier is changing from 6 to 9, frequency is changing from 1.6g to 2.4g. I only see this in CPU-z.  Msi 's own software reports CPU running at 2.4g though. Is this cpuz issue or something else?
    Finally, any tips to max the overclock potential of this board? I have overclocked to 3.1g but there are some crashes. Going higher the board just won't boot up. I read a review on anandtech.com says 1.22 bios is good for oc. Where can i download that? I only found 1.1 bios on official site.
    Any reply will be appreciated.
    Cheers

    C2D-CPUs have a digital internal sensor to monitor CPU Core temperatures.  Have a look at those with Core Temp ( http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/ ).  This Tool reads the temperature data directly from the register of your CPU. There is nothing wrong with the sensor.  It is rather the MSI tool that does not read the data it provides correctly.

    There is no issue.  What CPU-Z allows you to see there is the C1E-feature of your CPU at work.  When there is nothing to do your processor will automatically reduce Core Voltages and frequency to save power and keep temperatures down.  As soon as the work load increases the multiplier is set back to x9 and core voltages increase dynamically.  It is meant to be a good thing.
    I have overclocked my system a little and I like that the C1E feature is still working at this speed setting CPU frequency to 2GHz and core voltage to 1.144v when my system is idle. 
    If you have problems with this feature you can turn it off in BIOS. The option is labeled as "C1E Support" and might be hidden somewhere.  You may be able to hit "F4" to unhide it. 
    The MSI utilities are not the best tools to monitor your system.  CPU-Z, Core Temp, Everest, Speedfan, Memset, Rightmark Memory Analyzer for example do a far better job.

  • Net Issues with P6N SLI Platinum

    Hello all. I am having issues getting the internet to work on my new system with the following specs:
    Mother Board = MSI NVidia nForce 650i SLI Chipset Based P6N SLI Platinum
    CPU ............ = Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, LGA775 Pkg 2.40 GHz, 8MB L2 Cache Total, 1066 MHz FSB
    Memory ...... = Geil 2GB PC2-6400 DDR2 800 CL=5-4-4-12 1.9-2.5v (x4)

    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!

    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 Platinum BIOS issue...

    So I purchased an e8400 processor after the 1.6 BIOS update came out for my P6N SLI Platinum, got it yesterday.  I put the processor in and it didn't work .  I turned to Google to have the internet fix the issue, and it seems if I adjust some options in my BIOS, it may make the e8400 work.  Two of the things it said to change were EIST and C1E.  I went into my BIOS, and tried hitting F4 in the CPU menu to get C1E to show up, but it won't.  The EIST option is no where to be found either...
    Anyone else running into the same issue, or got a e8400 to work after changing stuff in the BIOS?
    Thanks a lot!
    EDIT:  Forgot to post my system specs
    Mobo: P6N SLI Platinum
    CPU:  Intel Pentium D 930
    RAM 2GB (1GB x2) Patriot DDR 667 (PC 5300)
    GPU: eVGA nVidia GeForce 8800GT
    PSU: Thermaltake 500W

    I used that bios, but on my regular p6n sli and got it to work.  here is my topic on it
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=115998.0
    Dont clear the bios after you take out the old cpu or it wont work
    I have been tinkering with it all day just to see what the actual problem is and it doesnt seem that it is the EIST OR C1E. from what I have done it seems that it is a problem with the voltages that keeps it from booting. If you change those with the other cpu in and then save and exit.  Dont let it reboot, shut it off before it starts to boot up again and put the e8400 in

  • MSI P6N SLI Platinum Sound problem

  • Question for P6N SLI Platinum User : Does ALC888 support Dolby Digital Encoding?

    Hello to all P6N SLI Platinum users here,
    I have one question regarding Dolby Digital Encoding support on this motherboard. By default, ALC888 does not support Dolby Digital Encoding. But I am still curious. Can you please check on your motherboard, does it support Dolby Digital encoding or DTS Live Connect output to SPDIF? (You may check it by Realtek HD Audio Manager control panel. If there exist such setting option, it means it does support.)
    The reason I ask this is I am thinking to switch from 975X Platinum to this board, I am unable to try this myself here as it requires me to reinstall my OS in order to load to WinXP
    Thanks in advance.

    have a look here:

    according to info there its support Dolby Digital Live

  • P6N SLI Platinum random shutdowns

    System:
    MSI P6N SLI Platinum MoBo
    Intel E6750 CPU
    Etasis 850W PSU
    Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4 RAM (using only 1 stick while troubleshooting)
    MSI NX8600GTS GPU
    OK, this is a strange one. I put my new system together and everything seemed to be working fine. POST looked OK, and I was even able to install Windows. Everything seemed stable.
    One thing that troubled me was that the lights on the D-Bracket were all red AFTER POST. In other words everything was working, but the LEDs were showing CPU problem. I tried everything I could think of to get the lights to go away, but nothing worked. I disconnected all HDs, DVD, and floppy drives. I reset the BIOS, and reseated the CPU. I tried putting RAM in different slots, tried both sticks solo, but nothing made any difference.
    It was getting late, so I decided to go to bed and run memtest86+ over night. When I got up this morning the system had powered itself down. When I turned it on again it powered itself off within a minute of being turned on. This was with all the drives hooked up, so I disconnected everything and now it's been sitting happily in the BIOS for over 30 minutes.
    So at this point, it seems like it could be a power supply issue. Unfortunately, I don't have another PSU with an 8-pin CPU connector that I can try in this system. Any thoughts? Next steps to try?
    Other possibly useful facts:
    When I boot into the BIOS the D-Bracket lights show #3 green, and all others red, indicating "initializing keyboard controller". But when I boot past the BIOS to a CDROM or Windows, they show all red, indicating "CPU problem"
    The system makes a brief chirp the POST screen. It doesn't sound like a beep code to me, and I've heard some boards will do an "everything's OK" beep like this. But it could be important so there it is.
    Although it seems happier with all the drives disconnected (indicating a PSU problem), it still shows all red LEDs on the D-Bracket (indicating a CPU problem).
    This is not the first system I've built, and I was fairly careful about putting everything together the right way. The only goof I know of is that at one point I was unplugging and re-plugging things and I ran the system for a while without connecting PCIE power to the GPU. Could that have broken something?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    -Steve

    UPDATE: I tried hooking up my old 400W PSU with 20-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU connectors (apparently this is OK to do) but there was no change. Still four red LEDs.
    I also tried removing the PCI-E GPU and booted it up with an antique PCI VGA card. Again, no change. Maybe I really did get a bad CPU?
    Any other ideas, before I try to return my CPU?
     

  • 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.

    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 Platinum - E4300 multiplier drops to 6x

    Hi all, first post.  Did some searches on here and can't find an answer, also this is a pretty new mobo.
    CPU-Z shows my cpu at 1.8ghz @ 9x multiplier, but every few seconds it switches to 1.2ghz @ 6x multiplier.  This sounds like a speedstep issue, but I disabled EIST in the BIOS, and all spread spectrum options. In windows power management I set it to Always On.  I see a lot of talk about C1E but don't see any option regarding that setting in my BIOS.
    Is this normal behavior for the E4300?  I'm hesitant to start OC'ing when I'm having issues at stock clock.
    Thanks for any ideas.
    My setup:
    P6N SLI Platinum / E4300 / Scythe Ninja / Antec Trio 650 / 2x1 GB Corsair XMS2 6400 / 2x WD 160gb - RAID 0 / Leadtek 8800gts 640

    Quote from: Maesus on 06-March-07, 09:06:11
    how about locking it to 6x and ramp up the FSB much higher?
    Would there be an advantage to that versus a 333fsb x9 (3ghz) OC?  I didn't get the best ram in the world because I wasn't looking for crazy speeds.  The PC-6400 Corsair ($160 w/rebate) I have is rated at 5-5-5-18 at 1.8v.  I have it at 5-5-5-12-2T at 1.9v.  I'm not uber-conversant on memory timings but when I set it on 1T windows crashed immediately. Anandtech mentioned that changing to 1T had little to no real world performance improvements so I can live with it.
    Currently I have the fsb at 333 (1333 in BIOS setting) and DRAM at 333 (666 in BIOS) so I have a 1:1 ratio which I understand is preferable.  The MSI Dual Core utility reports that my CPU is running about 7 degrees cooler than the System temperature. Is that possible, or do I have a jumper setting mixed up somewhere...

  • P6N SLI Platinum - intermittent video fault

    I have recently bought the following parts:
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6420, 2.13GHz, 1,066FSB, 4MB
    MSI P6N SLI Platinum
    Akasa Ultra Quiet Active PFC 500 watts PSU (3.3V/30A, +5V/30A, +12V1/18A, +12V2/18A, -12V/0.5A, +5Vsb/3A)
    2 x 1GB Crucial PC2-5300 Non ECC CL5
    XFX GeForce 8600GTS 256MB DDR3 PCIe (PV-T84G-UDF3)
    1 x Western Digital Caviar 160GB 7200rpm, S300, 16MB SATA (system disk)
    3 x Western Digital Caviar 500GB 7200rpm, S300, 16MB SATA (data disks)
    BIOS – 1.1 updated to 1.3, default settings (I'm not overclocking)
    Windows XP SP2 OEM
    When I got everything installed and wired up I turned on the power and saw the MSI spaceship screen for a couple of seconds then the screen when blank.  The computer sounded as though it was continuing to boot up and eventually settled down with 4 green lights on the D-bracket 2 connector.  I powered down and physically re-fitted the video card a couple of times and it seemed to work OK.  A couple of days later, after successfully installing the OS and other applications, the same thing happened again.  Once more I took out and re-fitted the video card and this seemed to do the trick.  After this happened a couple more times I concluded there was a fault with the video card and sent it back for a replacement (efficiently handled by Dabs).  This duly arrived and as soon as I fitted it in the same thing happened again!
    I’ve checked all the PSU connections and everything is where it should be.  The fault does not seem to be connected to the temperature of the processor or GPU and in fact seems to happen most often when the computer has not been on for a while.  I can continue to access data on the hard drives over my home network so everything else appears to be working even when there is no video.  I can now pretty reliably get the video working again by switching off, putting the computer case on its side and then re-fitting the video card – power back up and hey presto everything is fine for a while until it happens again a few days later.
    I’m mystified.  I presume there is some kind of problem with the motherboard but would appreciate any suggestions for a solution before I take the computer to pieces again and send that back for a replacement.
    Many thanks,
    Peter

    hmm... this is a strange problem. Reseating the video card, hmm... but is it every power on you will still see the MSI screen? can you go to the BIOS and disable the MSI spaceship screen? something like disable POST logo etc. And see if there is any error message? It might not be your video card.

  • P6N SLI unable to produce sound/test integrated Realtek audio

    Is there any way to verify if the Realtek audio devices on my MB are or are not working, say a utility?  It appears the Audio is dead on my MB, and I would like to confirm.  If it is not broken, I need help getting the correct drivers on my system.
    Until recently my MSI P6n SLI Platinum MB was able to produce sound from the back connections on the board.  For the last couple of months though I have not been able to produce any sounds from the system including simple system sounds.  I have tried playing simple beep noises (standard window error sound). I have tried all of the rear output jacks, and have verified the issue is not my speakers (confirmed speakers produce sound from ipod etc).  Currently The system will not even recognize the Audio devices, leaving me to believe the device itself is bad, or I need help with getting the correct drivers on the system.
    I have done the following to attempt to resolve this:
    1. Loaded latest sound drivers for Realtek audio from MSI support site-looking at the drivers listed for the P6N SLI Platinum. 
    2. Because of errors I encountered after installing these drivers over the existing, I unistalled Realtek Audio, then reinstalled the audio drivers from scratch. 
    At the moment, Since the re-install the Audio devices are not recognized.  When I attempt to open the Volume manager, I get the message: "There are no mixer devices available.  To install mixer devices, go to Control Panel, click Printers and other hardware and then click add Hardware."  I attempted do this but of course the Realtek device is already installed. 
    I also attempted to enable the device by going to computer management>devices> Sound, video, game controlser, right click on realtek>properties.  On the Properties tab, I confirmed "Audio Devices>Realtek HD Audio device" was enabled.  Thanks, any pointers on trouble shooting this will help.
