P7N Diamond & X-Fi Audio card - awful sound.

Has anyone else had major problems with this addon PCI-e card on the P7N diamond? All the drivers install fine and I have the latest patch from the MSI website (Creative don't even provide drivers at all) but I get jittery audio in everything from logging on, to watching a movie/listening to an MP3 and even playing games.
It will be OK for a short time then the audio will come through all jittery and stuttering for a while and repeat.
Anybody have a fix for this, have tried loads of stuff - disabling the X-Fi extra features, lowering hardware acceleration and no difference. I have all the programs from the CD installed and the latest driver from MSI website. I'm using the 9.46 780i chipset drivers, without MediaShield if that makes any difference at all.
Please help, this feels like a downgrade from my Audigy 2 ZS of a few years ago. :(

Have you done a new fresh installation?
Latest DX installed?(https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114542.0), January 2008
Sound HW acceleration at full?
Does the sound shuttering happend with specified game or?
Can you try those drivers ==> X-Fi series XP Beta Driver(9 Jan 08) http://files2.europe.creative.com/manualdn/Drivers/AVP/10469/0xE545059D/SBXF_PCDVRBETA_LB_2_14_0001.exe
Those drivers say that there isn't a supported device installed in the system, I've installed that DirectX pack you linked me to but no change unfortunatley - I kind of doubted it would change anything anyways since this XP has every update upto February 2008 installed from the CD already. Hardware acceleration is on full right now yes. I am going to try uninstalling everything and moving it to a PCI-e x16 slot and reinstalling to see if that makes a difference now.

K9N2 Diamond and Xtreme Audio Card

The sound card that came with this board came with a driver/program CD. I've followed directions and ran the installation, but when I click on the Audio Console Launcher to configure it, I get a warning that, "The current selected audio device is not supported by the application. Do you want to select another audio device now?"
If I click "NO"...thats it.
If I click "YES", I get another warning saying, "The Creative Audio Device Selection module cannot be launched. The module may be missing from your system. You may need to reinstall your application."
If I run the CD again, to reinstall the so-called module, I still run into the same problem.
The problem really is I can't use my headset w/mic for online gaming. Headset shows up in the Playback Devices but there is no "configure" option--greyed out.
What seems to be the malfunction?

I think he have eaxtly same probelm some i has whit the sound card .
Sound card dirver on msi webpage and on the cd wont install the dirver untill he use
the Firmware thing i got form you BOSSKILLER.
After i used it it just work perfectly whit out makeing any problem i dont know if he have the same problem showing in device manager to if so then updateing x-fi Firmware will help him.
WickedHorse chek out your Device manager and my old topic ( https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120044.0 )and give more info if you have the same probelm.
Some times in device manager i has Audio device on high definition audio bus or 2-Audio device on high definition audio and after i got help from BOSSKILLER thx to him i has it fixed and it work greatly now.

P7N Diamond's X-FI card, help needed.

Hello,
I'm trying to locate the spdif header pins on the X-FI cards internal connectors. I know it should have one, but I cant find it.
The reason I ask is that I wish to connect the inter spdif conector for my GX2 to it for the audio on my HDMI port.
Thanks in advance.

Cool. thanks for that. I wasn't 100% sure as I couldn't find anything in the manual that specified exactly what the jumpers were for.

External Usb Audio Card Popping and Cracking sound with Satellite L500

Greetings,
My name is Boyan and I am from Bulgaria and about an year ago I've bought a satellite laptop from the l500 series ( i can not state which exactly is the model at the moment because my computer is not currently with me and on my user manual the only thing which is stated is that it is for L500/L505/ L500D / L505D . But by memory I think it was the Satellite L500D-ST5506 which is currently not at my dispossal because I gave it for repair for the same problem which I will state down below)
The problem with my laptop is that when I plug a Usb Audio card in my laptop I have a cracking sound when live sound is played trough the speakers/headphones from the external card. I've tried numerous audio cards and speakers/headpohnes which work perfectly fine with other computer, including laptops but the same problem keeps on showing up in the headphones/speakers of my laptop when I am using an external audio card to connect them to the laptop.
The problem is prominent only when the sound signal passes trough an external audio card and it is very annyoing since I use my laptop to create music and i've bought an expenssive audio card and speakers which can not be used with the laptop. I've tried 3 models of audio cards:
M-Audio Fast Track Pro
Behringer uca 222
and a simple external 3d sound usb audio card and the problem still appears.
At first I thought that the problem should be software and I should install new drivers although windows 7 automaticaly recognizes and intalls the drivers for the devices and I have sound in them (but with cracks and popps) so i tried using the official drivers sold to me with the audio cards but with no luck: The problem was still there. I tried finding new drivers of the audio cards on the official distributors websited and i've downloaded them but the problem was still there. Then i tried to delete every audio driver on my computer and just use the external audio card for sound but this dint help eighter. I've updated my drivers for my build-in audio card as well but again - no luck.
After that.the frist thing I did when (2 weeks after i bought the laptop) was to contact the store from which i bought my audio card and they stated that the problem may be eighter latency or high voltage from the laptop so they adviced me to try to lower the latency from the settings or to try and see if the problem remains if my laptop is only running on battery. I've tried both things and they didn't help. The audio cards worked without a problem on every other computer I've tried them on except mine. So they said to me that the problem couldnt possibly be from the audio cards .
What I did next was I gave my laptop to the official distributor of toshiba in my country so they can fix my problem. What they said to me was that the problem is caused from the version of windows which was pre-installed on my laptop and that it wasnt compitable with the audio cards (which was bizzar sounding because I've tried them on the same windows and they've worked, just on other computers). So I got back my laptop and changed my operating sistem from Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32bit and on all of those versions the problem was there: whenever I activate a Usb Audio Card and audio signal passes trough it I heard cracks and popps. I even tried isntalling Windows XP but the laptop wants spesific SATA drivers for the installation of Windows XP which although i did find - they didnt help me install XP and I didn't want to go in to the BIOS of the computer to try to put a new one and so on because I am not so sure about that and I could lose my warranty so I said to the official repair store for Toshiba in my town to put XP on my computer to fix the problem but they can't because they are not liscened to operate with software which doesn't have a recipt for its purchase ( which i didnt because i bought my windows xp long ago and i've lost the recipt)
I gave it for repair for the second time telling them that the change of my operating system did not solve my problem and what they did was they changed the whole motherboard on my computer, stating that the build in realtek audio device on my computer is not good enough to support an usb audio card or it maybe broken and they have to change the whole motherboard because the build in card is glued to it, so they did that but my problem wasn't solved. They told me that although I am using and external usb audio card the signal still passes trough my internal one and I have to disable it so i tried disabling it trough the control panel but this did not solve the problem and i do not have an option from BIOS to disable my build-in audio card. Another thing which I thought maybe causing the problem is that the two audio cards aren't working on the same bit rate and Hertz so I set both cards to 16 bit 48000hz DVD Quality (Also tried other options on the 3 cards i have) but...the same thing happend.
They told me that this is just my luck and that the build in audio card doesn't support this external audio cards and I should had been more careful when choosing my laptop at first.
I couldn't accept this awnser for several reasons:
1) This audio cards work on lower version of windows and are supported by much older models of Realtek and much older computers (one of them was bought 2000!!!!! and my laptop is from 2010!!)
2) The guys who were fixing the problem apperantley didn't go in so deep in to my problem because they didn't know what actually the problem was they just knew that there is a problem with the audio card and the computer interacting with eachother, they didnt know that there is cracking during live play from the external audio card.
3) I can not accept the fact that Toshiba is manufacturing models with chipset audio cards which can not support a simple external Usb Audio Card. This is totally unacceptable for me and I truly hope this is not the case!
4)They didn't try my audiocards on an other laptop from the same series stating that they do not have one at their dispossal at the moment so I will go tomorrow to a local store and try the audio cards by my self on the same computer in the store.
What I did now was I gave back my laptop for repair asking for a statement of the problem in wrtting with all details of the problem so I can go to court or ask for a new laptop but I will be charged with some money because according to them there is no problem in the laptop and the problem is that my external audio cards arent compitable with the build in internal chipset audio card. If I give my laptop for repair and there is no hardware problem I will have to pay some money. I will do this but I am now mad, since this will not solve my problem and I am loosing time and money.
What I am asking here is, if you can not help me solve my problem and advice me what to do to fix it, please provide me the details of the chipset build in audiocard on my motherboard, so i can investigate if it is compitable with my external audio cards and contact the audio card dealers to ask them for their opinion. Or if you can tell me with what it is compitable with and with what not, it would be great. I personally think that this laptop should have no problems at all with running a simple external usb audio card but I am asking you, if you know something more about that.
If the problem is from the build in chipset then Toshiba is manufacturing (or at least selling) audiocards which aren't at a normal standart but sadly I cant do nothing about it except complain to Toshiba and never deal whith such productgs anymore. In the other case if this is not true, then my laptop has a problem which is different and I will have to go to court with the repair mans for not fixing my laptop or not giving a new one when I have warranty which will not be Toshiba's fault and It will in a way solve my problem.
I hope you understand how Important this is for me and I hope I resolve the problem as soon as possible.
P.S
I would like to state that I am well aware of the grammar mistakes I have made in the text below and I would like to ask for your apologies as I am not a native English language speaker.

hi i just like to say i had a similar fault though i would be surprised if it causing yours,but you never know,my fault was my laptop lid, [9 months old] it contains the mic ,and when the lid was in a certain angle crackles could be heard worse when i had my external sound card in, it was a faulty membrane [ lid to body] easily missed by engineer because it was the same angle all the time it happened,good luck, PS you English is very good

P7N Diamond and TWO nVidia 9800 GX2 Video Cards

Hello all, I have a simple question. I’ve searched Google and this is one of the few places I’ve found people even discussing the subject of a MSI P7N Diamond motherboard and TWO nVidia 9800 GX2 video cards running SLi.
Here is my system. MSI P7N Diamond, 6 GB OCZ Reaper Memory, Pentium E8500 processor, Asus Silent Knight cooler, two eVGA 8800 GT Superclocked Edition video cards running SLi, Tagan BZ Series 800 W power supply, four 500 GB Seagate Barracuda hard drives running RAID 0 (2 for the C drive & 2 for the D drive), Sound Blaster PCIe sound (came with MB), LG Blu-ray, DVD, CD burner & HD-DVD Reader, second LG DVD/CD burner, GL W2452T monitor and Windows Ultimate Edition 64-bit.
My question is, can I replace the two 8800 GT SC video cards with TWO 9800 GX2 video cards? I know the P7N Diamond can handle Tri-SLi, but can it handle two cards with 2 GPU’s each. I am also considering changing up my two 1 GB Reaper chips with 2 GB chips so I will have 8 GB of RAM. This should make up for the 2 GB of memory the 9800 GX2’s are using up (if, in fact the motherboard can handle the cards).
I was also wondering, if the motherboard CAN handle dual 9800 GX2’s, can my power supply handle it at 800 watts?
And for my bonus question, would I be better off considering going with two 9800 GTX+ cards rather than the GX2's? Would I honestly se a huge improvement running two GX2's as opposed to two GTX+ cards? After all, the 9800 GTX+ cards would be much cheaper!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
GH

Thanks for all the help BossKiller!!! You’ve been a HUGE help!
RemusM, I have two answers for you…
From the sensible side that should be thinking this through, no. You are absolutely 100% correct, I probably don’t need to run two 9800 GX2 cards. I can play the games I’m currently playing quite well on two 8800 GT OC cards. I should save my money.
And, from the geek side I say heck yes! This will ensure I can run pretty much everything out there and anything made in the near and not so distant future with all settings maxed out!
That said, I wish I would listen to RemusM and my sensible side… but alas it’s a losing battle. Plus, I may be getting the two 9800 GX2’s for $300 ($150 each) . So it’s not that bad. If I have to pay full price for them, the geek side may lose out anyhow.
GH
Oh and by the way RemusM, I LOVE the sig block!! That’s an old Timex isn’t it? It’s not the Sinclair 1000 is it?

I've been searching Arch forums and googling for my problem but I can't find a suitable answer.
I installed my M-Audio Delta 1010 sound card on this PC but ALSA doesn't get it to work.

controlC0 and pcmC0 is not present!
So, what might be causing the probe error -5?
I really need to get this card working! :S
I have Arch up to date!
Hardware specs:
CPU: AMD FX6100
Board: Gigabyte (can't recall the model) with NVidia chipset
Thank you,

I have an m-audio delta 1010lt as well, it's a great card but it sits in my closet now because I "upgraded" to a motherboard that doesn't have legacy PCI slots. However, I'm pretty sure I remember the card working for me and being "plug and play" under arch with kernel 3.3 or newer. So some things I would consider:
Try checking IRQs, make sure nothing is overlapping.
Try using the LTS kernel, to see if it is kernel related, since ice1712 module should ship with almost any kernel => 2.6.26.
How many watts is the power supply? Sometimes insufficient wattage can result in drivers failing to load.
What other sound cards do you have installed? Have you tried blacklisting all of the other cards in your system using alsa-base.conf? This is a bit extreme, but might be a useful troubleshooting measure, as some people have had issues in the past with alsa indexing mutiple cards to the same slot number

Could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on xp sp2 Sys

I have Audigy Platinum and trying to install to a recently re-installed windows xp sp2 system. On my previous install everything was working fine and now I am looking to install the newest drivers and the error comes up [color="#ff3300">"could not detect Sound Blaster Audio Card on system". The strange thing is windows recognizes the card and will install it's drivers, but when I go to install the latest driver update I get the error. In addition, I also tried to run the install from my original disk.
I also?un-installed the devices showing? in the windows device manager, then tried and the same error, I even tried it in safe mode. Any ideas?Thanks and Advance,Mikel

Yes i think the real lesson here is not to buy creative,. i have the same problem with their junky card, so i guess ill just have to take buisness somewhere else. if you all do the same perhaps the threat of them going out of buisness will have them deal with their problems. if not atleast we saved others the headache of learning this lesson.

I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?

I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?
The firewire port reads the dj software and I can hear music playing through the sound card when I plug my headphones into it but there is no signal to the hardware (my dj mixer).
I have reset the firewire by turning off my mac book pro for a few hours and can see the sound card device in the fire wire section after clicking on the apple icon on the top left corner of my mac.
My dj mixer works on another mac computer with the same soundcard and different firewire cable.
Hope someone can help
Thanks

kmiddlet88,
yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

CUPC - "Phone Error. Could not place call because you have no audio device or sound card."

Periodically throughout the day, CUPC will not make or receive calls, but instead presents a dialog box with the message "Phone Error. Could not place call because you have no audio device or sound card." See attachment.
Signing out of and back into CUPC resolves the issue temporarily.
I have version 8.6.2 installed and I'm using a USB headset.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Hi Steve,
I have users reporting this as well with Jabra GN 2000 headsets. They claim using a different headset resolves it which I'm waiting to confirm but I was wondering if you were able to figure this out.
Thanks
Erik

Will FCP X and QT will output audio thru any sound card that the Mac recognizes?

I watch FCP X video on my Mac Pro video monitor.
I want to output the audio thru a sound card to my audio monitor controller. My new digital audio monitor controller connects USB to the Mac, and USB is not an output option with FCP X. So, I need another audio path.
I have previously used a Pro Tools HD Native card for sending FCP X audio out, and this works fine.
I assume that any other sound card that works in the Mac (i.e., compatible and selectible in Mac Pro Sound Preferences) would work with FCP X, but I am just checking to be sure this is right before I buy something.
I am aware of potential sync issues, so I would use only a low latency sound card. The Pro Tools card, for instance, had very low latency and worked fine.

OK, forget it.
I can just use the Mac Pro optical digital out. Doh.
Some days the brain just won't lock into gear.

Audio card to produce 5.1 sound

Hi all,
Any recommendations for an audio card to produce (to create) 5.1 surround sound that works with Logic Pro?
regards Chris

First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.

I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.

The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
Good Luck

[SOLVED] Choppy sound with Intel audio card

Ever since I bought this laptop and installed Arch, I have experienced this annoying choppiness.
What happens is that when I highlight other windows, under the minimum memory/cpu load the sound is truncated. I can't listen to music pleasantly on my laptop, and I can't stand it.
My laptop is a HP 530, with an integrated Intel audio card. This is the output from hwd -s:
Sound(a) : 82801G ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller module: snd-hda-intel
I have 1Gb of RAM, and the processor doesn't seem very busy when the sound is truncated. This happens under any DE/WM - even in tty!
For what is worth, I had problems with the speakers not muting when the headphones were plugged in, and I have followed the method indicated here.
Thanks for your time.

Auto is the default, it might not be resolving the model correctly (that's the case with my laptop). Try model=hp.
If that doesn't work, you could try turning off power saving:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0

No sound and no audio card in device manager

Hello!
I have a HP Pavilion dv6710ea and my operating system is 32-bit Windows Vista SP2. Quite some time ago my optical CD/DVD drive stopped working. It simply disappeared from My Computer and the Device Manager. I've tried all the suggested fixes I found on this forum but none of them worked. But I didn't need the drive that much anyway, so after some struggle I just gave up on this issue.
And now another such thing happened. Suddenly, I lost sound and when I hovered my mouse pointer over the sound icon at the taskbar, a pop-up showed saying "No Audio Output device is installed.". I checked the device manager, and my audio card was gone! Any attempts to detect it failed. I restored the system to the point before the problem occured, but it did not help. I tried to install the new audio drivers, but the installation failed, because the device could not have been found. Now I don't know what else can be done to try to fix this. I certainly hope it is not related with hardware failure of some kind.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this issue.

Hi,
Reset BIOS to defaults
Restart the PC, as you see initial POST Screen on the Monitor, start pressing F10 to access BIOS< press f5, select Yes, and Press f10 to save and exit.
