Vista Sound problems with K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum

I wonder if anyone have gotten the sound to work under 32-Bit Vista RC1 (build 5600) on the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7100)? Installation of the, by MSI, provided XP driver (Creative_audio_32-64bit.zip) seam to work, and the device looks installed in Device Manager, but still no sound... Also, the icon for volume control in the icon trey detects that there is no sound card installed.
Anyone with a similar problem? Any solutions? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks!
I did try one of these drivers before without success. Now when I tried the old driver from nov 2005 it worked!
Drivers are found here:

MSI K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum / HDD_LED Problem

Hello,
First off I would like to say that MSI boards rock! I've always been happy with them, in fact this is my fourth MSI board. The board is K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum.
Unfortunately, I'm having a problem with this one. The problem is minor, but it shouldn't happen, at least I don't think. The problem is that even though the hard drive activity wire is properly connected to HDD_LED, it is not working with my SATA drive. No light at all!
I read in newsgroups that there are people with this same problem (although not necessarily with this same board). I haven't found a solution to this yet. So my inquiry here is:
1. Is there anyone else with this exact board with a SATA drive that can confirm his/her HDD_LED light is also not working with a SATA drive?
2. Does MSI have a fix/solution for this?
Thank you.

THere is a positive and negative side on those pins have you tried flipping it over?
This has got to be one of the biggest "pains in the a&&" in setting up a new mobo and connecting it to a new case...

Does k8n neo4/sli platinum support creative 6.1 surround speakers?

I own an MSI k8n neo4/sli platinum mother board with an on-board SB live 24-bit sound chip. I have confirmed that the retail version of the sound blaster live 24-bit pci sound card will support a 6.1 speaker set up (specifically creative labs megaworks 650) with creative labs proprietary plug configuration of having front center, sub, and rear center speakers all on the same (orange) plug. The plug configuration on the back of the k8n neo4/sli platinum is color coded the same as the retail version of the sound blaster live 24-bit sound card. what I need to know is... Does the k8n neo4/sli platinum support a 6.1 surround sound speaker configuration? I can find no documentation in the literature confirming or denying this. FWIW... the creative sound card softwear that came with this motherboard will allow me to configure and test for 6.1 speakers... but I get no sound from my rear center speaker. On testing, the 5.1 speaker configuration works as it should but I am unable to test for 7.1 config as I lack a 7.1 speaker setup. I am using Version 5.12.1.356 of the creative drivers downloaded from the MSI driver support.
Thanks for your time.

Update...
Last night I noticed that, in windows sounds and audio devices_advanced speaker settings, there is no 6.1 speaker configuration option. (GO to: control panel \sounds and audio devices \sounds and audio devices properties \ volume \speaker settings advanced \advanced audio properties \speakers \speaker setup pull down menu).
I don't know if this pull down menu is generated by windows XP auto detection or the MSI/Creative drivers and .inf files that are installed for the SB 24-bit chip, but it leads me to believe that this MB does _not_ support 6.1 sound.
Can anyone else confirm that this 6.1 speaker option is present or missing in windows with:
1) This MB
2) Windows XP in general
or 3) if it is available to those that have an audigy or 6.1 compatible sound card
Once again...

NOT Stable overclock on K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum 3.9 MOD + Venice 3000+

Hi, to all the people that make this forum so usefull.
I´m wondering what i´m doing wrong? ??? ??? ???
I have a Venice 3000+ E3 on a K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and 1 Gb OCZ Rev2, TCCD.
I have overclocked the CPU to 9 x 290 Mhz (2610Mhz) HTT 3X, MEM 1:1 290Mhz 2.5-4-3-10 1T 2.75V.
Memory is ok at this setting on MEMTEST v1.65.
I have tried Every VCORE possible to the CPU and Nforce Chipset and can´t make it stable.
I can work on windows with this settings but some times the computer locks. >:(
If any of you in the forum have a suggestion or recomendation, please Let me Know.
For a list of complete hardware of my rig, look at the signature.
Thank for all.

I had this exact same problem, same RAM, same MOBO, with an X2 3800+.
For some reason it wouldnt overclock 1:1, and that RAM at wouldnt run at 2.5-x-x-x-1T timings (and i dont think it did 2T stable for too long either). So i was limited to either 2 or 3.
So right now I'm running my X2 at 2.55ghz and my OCZ Platinum 1gb TCCD @ 232(2-3-3-6-1T). Done so by using 183 divider at 255fsb. HTTmulti=3x
Does dual prime 95 for 10-12 hours (havnt tried for longer)
Oh also, for voltage, the RAM has 2.80-2.85, and NF4 gets 1.55-1.60v.

Bios Settings For MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum MB

Hello all... Has anyone came up with the best and most stable bios settings for the MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum motherboard yet. Specifically under the CPU and Memory menus.
If anyone has seen any, please post them. or post a link.
Thanks
DaaDoctor

Well that depends on the installed CPU and memory, doesnt it? So I find that question kinda odd.
One thing though: Dont use Cool n Quiet.

Confused - whats the difference between K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and Diamond??

MSI web page says the Diamond has:
"Silicon Image's SATA RAID supports another 2 SATA II ports. Transfer rate is up to 300MB/s."
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=638
their Platinum page doesn't list the Silicone Image raid as a feature on the Platinum.
I have K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum and it has the Silicone Image raid - I'm using it now.
Can anyone explain this?
Another question: for both boards it shows: "NV RAID (Software) - - RAID function available for ATA133 + SATA HD drives or 2 SATA HD"
How can the Raid fuction work for ATA133 drives since the cables for SATA and PATA are different? What do the mean Raid for 133?
Thanks!!!
Tony

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?board=36.0
d/l a raid manual and all should be clear

K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and Dual Core

I just received my new MSI K8N Neo4 LSI Platinum motherboard and I am waiting on my new processor AMD Athalon64 dual core 4400+. My questions are:
1. If the bios on the motherboard is not the latest one will the motherboard boot with the dual core processor. If not what are my options?
2. If I manage to boot, and all the components are new, assuming I will boot into DOS, can I make a bios update from there or I need to install Windows and then do a bios update?
3. And what are the bios update procedures for MSI motherboards?
Thanks a lot guys for help

hi,
In order to use dual core CPU on the MB, update BIOS to the latest version (3.4 and above) before using it. After flashing BIOS, please enter BIOS Load Optimized defaults, Save&exit it, then change CPU to dual core one.
For how to update BIOS, refer to:
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/bios/note/award.htm
You can use the dual core without updating the Bios. However, your second core won't work until the update. So you can use the cpu without the correct bios version to install windows.

:K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum bios problem

I have a strange problem with this bios, it goes back to default when you shut it down for awhile.
The date goes back to Jan 1 2004 and all settings go to default.
I've changed the battery thinking sure that was the problem, I've heard they've had some problems.
The funny thing is if you shut it down and then restart it it's ok, but if you leave it for awhile it goes
back to default. I flashed to 3.7 bios thought that might do it, but no such luck.
MSI said just get the board or bios serviced, has anyone ever got a new bios chip from MSI?
I'm trying to get this fixed without all the hassle, but it's not looking good.
I like the board everything else has went fine, I guess I could leave it running 24\7's.
When you make changes in the bios all works great, no problems except it won't hold them.

I checked the sticky's (which I should have done to start with) I see there have been a lot of
problems like this.
Most of the problems have been with the K8N Neo4 Platinum, mine is the sli platinum but the problem
seems the same.
The bios shows the new energizer I put in at 2.86.
I will try to fix this as it was a refurbished board from Newegg.
I tried the cmos button several times and it made no difference, most of the complaints were having
to change batteries every 2 to weeks.
The new battery I put in didn't last the next morning when I booted it up it was right back to default
and didn't even see the raid setup.
It only takes about 1 minute to reset it but thats a pain in the butt, as I said if you just shut it down
for a little while it saves the bios setting's fine.
I like the board, it overclocks fine if you can keep the settings.
I'm going to take the board out where I can get a good look in the batt. holder and see if I can
see anything that might short the batt.
Thanks for the reply and any other suggestions

Download Problems with K8N Neo4 Platinum Nvidia Ethernet Controller

Just to ask if there is some basic setup for Nvidia network drivers in Windows or in BIOS since I'm having download errors with a DSL connection when i use the Nvidia networking controller, not depending from the OS I'm booting (WinXP Pro SP2 or WinXP pro 64). When I download using the Marvell Yukon controller everything works fine in both operating systems. Additional specs:

Open up the nvidia firewall.
Click on 'Active Armour'
Click on 'Application'
change the setting from 'offloadable' to 'notoffloadable'
This solves the download problem.
Indigian, you are The Man!!!!!
That solved it !!! Thank you very much!

Boot Problem with K8n Neo 2 Platinum

I cant get my Computer to load the bios
Sometimes when I restart my computer it will lock up in the Bios Sign on and the only way to get it to boot through is to keep resetting the computer and turning the power off and on. It does this on a random basis, Ive also had problems with it locking up if the dynamic oc is turned on.
Has anybody heard of this happening or know how to fix it?

Corsair memory is known to be troublesome with AMD64.
Nevertheless, if everything is set correctly, it'll work. I've been running the LLPRO 3200 1GB kit at 220MHz without any noticable problems. Run a couple of rounds with Memtest86+ to verify memory functionality.
Can you please give your specifications on the power supply unit (PSU), especially the amperage on the +12 volt rail.

Problem with my p7n sli platinum

Hello,
i just bought the P7N SLI Platinum for my new system and use an old ATI X1800XT as my gpu.
after finished installing all the hardware,then i tried to install a fesh copy of windows xp...
the problem is, every time my computer tried to login into the windows.. a blue screen will appear..
i suspect the problem is due to the x1800xt..therefore i tried to use it with my old intel motherboard but it can login into windows perfectly well..
does anyone know what the cause of this problem? is it because i'm using ati card with nvidia chipset?
please everyone help me!!

* There is insufficient disk space on the drive on which you installed Windows.
* There is an outdated or incompatible third-party driver (or drivers) installed on your computer -- for example a faulty video driver.
* There are system BIOS incompatibilities.
Finally, my system is now working perfectly but I'm still not sure what is the cause for all of this madness.
I didn't change any of the hardware or the drivers.
I don't think this is because of the insufficient disk space because after many series of failure with this board, I have tried to install a fresh windows copy using the same hard drive with my previous motherboard and everything seems to be running smoothly...it could finish the installation process..and safely loading into windows...
Then when I tried with this board again, still no improvement at all...i tried again..again...and again...until i was frustrated enough to made some random changes in the bios settings and FINALLY...it works!!..
I have no idea what were the changes that I've made in the bios...maybe it was just my luck....but I do notice the change in my cpu vcore..before this, it was running at 3.0GHz with default vcore of 1.080v...but now, the default vcore has suddenly changed to 1.250v with the same frequency of 3.0Ghz...and I couldn't find any way to return the voltage back as before..is this normal? I thought E8400 with E0 stepping should have lower vcore...isn't it?

Problem with K8N Neo 4 Platinum

Hi I am new on this forum.
I have problem with proper configuration of the BIOS in K8N Neo 4 Platinum. My processor is Athlon 64 3000. It has 1800 clock. My BIOS makes default 200MHz x 5. It makes 1000 MHz clock. Will it be good if I change at 200 x 9?
Other thing: I tried to change at 200 x 9 but in Windows (2000) is still 200 x 5 (acc. to Core Cell). When I chanded on 200 x 7,5 all in Windows was ok. Core Cell showed 200 x 7,5. How I may resolve this problem?

I have my memory in green slots. Does dual channel works in this case?
- No Green = Channel A, Purple =Chanel B use Green nearest cpu & adjacent purple slot.

HT freq. 5x
That's your HT multiplier as mentioned by Some1ne not the Adjust CPU Ratio which is the CPU multiplier.
Your CPU is running at the correct speed.
DDR Clock: 167 MHz s/be 200 - this should chnge when memory is in right slots.
Change memory over & let's have a look @ those settings then.

X850XT video problem, with K8N NEO4-F

OK have any of you, had or heard of this problem,
I just picked up a sapphire X850XT PCI E video card,
But when I install it, there is blue and red lines going through everything,
This shows up as soon as the computer post’s, so it’s not a driver problem,
Some times it looks fine, then if I try to benchmark the card, with 3Dmark06,
It gets through some of it, and then it gets the lines problem,
I looked around to see if it might have been a compatibility problem,
But I don’t see anything any where, so I’m assuming it’s a bad video card,
But before I send it back thought I would ask about it,
Specs,
K8N NEO4-F
Athlon 64 4000
1gig ram
500watt dual rail PSU (all the voltages are normal)

PSU is a antec 500 watt
the card does this right at post, so it's not the drivers,
I have reset it more then I can count, I think it's the card,
when I put this 5300 back in it's fine,
