X-Fi Platinum and 2.09.0007 dri

Hi,
Recently i have updated to 2.09.0007 driver and now i lose settings (ex. Flexi jack mode is not working after reboot) it remembers that i have Digital I/O but it isn't working. But now i have 2.09.000 driver and it works. I hope that new and fixed driver comes soon. So any news about that driver?
- Marko

the newer the drivers, the messier it gets... and i dont like it

Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem confl

I have had modem connection problems so I reformatted the hard dri've and reloaded the OS to get a clean start. Now, I have a conflict with the Audigy Platinum and 56K PCI modem. The sound card works great until I dial-out on the modem - at that point there is either no sound or a high-pitched tone is heard when a sound is played. Also, if I am activly connected to the internet and play a sound, the connection will drop and the modem will refuse to reconnect with various errors (no dial tone or port already open). The only way to reset the sound card and modem is to reboot. If I disable the Audigy card under device manager, the modem works great - connects and reconnects fine. BTW, this is the third PCI modem I have tried, all by different manufactures and chipsets, so I don't think it is a modem problem.
Some system specs:XP Home SP 2Audigy Platinum with the latest production drivers availableUS Robotics 56K PCI modem model #5660AAsus A7N8X deluxe motherboard with on-board sound disabled
The Audigy card is installed in a PCI slot that is not shared, also the Audigy card is using IRQ 5 and the modem is on IRQ using COMM port 3. Everything looks fine under Device Manager (no unknown devices or devices with errors). MSINFO32 shows no device conflicts.
Has anyone seen this before? Any workarounds? Any idea why the Audigy card would conflict with the modem like this?
Thanks,Terry C.

I updated the BIOS to the latest ASUS release, 008, and it seemed to resolve the problem.

P965 Platinum and E6600 won't go to 3GHz

Hello,
I have a MSI P965 Platinum and a E6600. Currently I have two sticks of Corsair Value Select 1GB PC-5300 RAM, rated at 667Mhz 5-5-5-15.
The E6600's stock is 2.4GHz, and I want to go to 3GHz. This should be dead simple - not only can the E6600 usually clock much higher, but 3GHz will only require a 333Mhz FSB (9 x 333), which means my RAM doesn't have to be overclocked at all since it is rated for 667MHz DDR2. I should be able to obtain 3GHz with a nice comfortable 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio without stressing the Corsair Value ram beyond specifications.
However, it just won't work. I seem to be having RAM instabilities at 667MHz 5-5-5-15 and 333Mhz FSB. The reason I say RAM is because Memtest86 freezes, and SuperPi has a 'not exact in round' error in 16M and 32M - which apparently means there is a problem with memory stability. Now, I know this sounds like the RAM is faulty, but I don't think it is, because when I run stock 266MHz FSB, the system is fine at 4:5 divider to make the RAM 667Mhz. It's only when I increase the FSB (and not the RAM at all) does the system become unstable. At 266MHz FSB and 667MHz RAM, my system will pass any stress test, but not at 333Mhz FSB and 667Mhz RAM.
I've upped the CPU voltage 3 notches to around 1.350 or so under load. My ram is at 1.9v, although I tried 1.95v too. I didn't touch the chipset voltage (should I?). My temperatures seem ok - I'm only using the stock Intel cooler, but it should be able to handle 3GHz fine. It hovers around 48c idle, 60c load according to Everest Ultimate (before it crashes in SuperPi), so it doesn't appear to be overheating while overclocked. Not great tempts but acceptable.
However, there are two things I've noticed:
- In the BIOS, if I select CAS to be 5 or 6, CPUZ still reports my ram at CAS3 (which my RAM can't do at 667Mhz), or 3-5-5-15. However if I select CAS4, it reports CAS4 properly (still unstable though), or 4-5-5-15. This is only a problem when I overclock the FSB - at stock FSB, the CAS timings are reported correctly. It could be an issue with CPUZ, but I doubt it. If there is a bug with the P965 Platinum not setting the CAS right when overclocking, this might explain why I'm having RAM stability issues even though I'm not overclocking the RAM - i.e. because the board is not using the right CAS setting. Is this a known bug? Also, I tried Auto SPD but it tried to use 4-4-4-12 at 667MHz (again, which this RAM won't do).
- When I run 333Mhz FSB and 667MHz RAM, the POST shows some sort of error message about the board not supporting CPU's with a 267Mhz FSB or something (which is weird, because 266Mhz is the stock speed *shrug*), and that it's resetting it. Sorry I can't recall the exact error off hand, but I can try the overclock again and provide it later on if needed. Anyway, despite the error message, the overclock still applies - it will boot into Vista 64-bit at 3Ghz, it just won't pass any stress test.
Is it possible a BIOS update could help me? I run V1.4, and even though I know there is a V1.8 now, no newer version mentions anything about fixing overclocking issues. I don't like to update my BIOS unless necessary (and I don't even have a floppy drive anyway, would need to figure out how to do it via USB).
Thanks for any help. I'm certain my RAM isn't faulty and I'm certain my CPU should be able to reach 3Ghz surely. I'm also pretty sure heat isn't an issue. I think maybe the board is trying to force CAS3 when FSB overclocking or something? That's my guess anyway.

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I should have mentioned I was definitely achieving 1:1 - I recall the confusion over why my RAM was trying to be 800+MHz at 667 and then I realized 533 actually meant 1:1, 667 4:5 etc, so I am definitely running at 533/1:1. I doubt this RAM would even post at 800+ MHz.
So updating the BIOS may help? Ok thanks, I guess I will update then. I don't see it in the "fix" list though on the site. Is there a way I can get a *full* fix/enhancement list for 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 so I know exactly what I'm fixing going from 1.4 to 1.8?
Also, does MSI support LiveUpdate BIOS in Windows Vista 64 yet? And if not, is there an official way to update via a USB stick? (no FDD here).

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!!!

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Stereo PCM

#Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Stereo PCM? Hi,
Have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum here and I'm having issues with having no audio when inputting Stereo PCM over Optical Toslink. I tried using both default and internal decoder, but no audio at all. It only works when using passthru/bypass mode. Tried a bunch of stereo inputs and had no audio at all. Is Stereo PCM not supported or what here? The test input streams were PCM two channel 48khz 6bit and 20bit. And Dolby Pro Logic is listed in the decoder tab with Auto, On, or Off. But maybe that isn't the same as Dolby Pro Logic II and that is why there is no audio. Only seems to work with Passthru mode only.

What are the Gold, Platinum and Silver certification ?

Hi All,
I was just curious to know if we have only Gold and Silver certification in Japan or also in other countries.
Is it the company that get's the title Gold, Platinum and Silver partner or is it the candidate that did pass the OCM?
What are the differences and how do oracle makes this ranking Gold, Platinum and Silver certification?
I've found that but it is in Japanese, so a bit difficult to read and understand. http://www.oracle.com/global/jp/education/certification/showcase/cultivate/tcs.html
Any Japanese could help please?
Or someone has any clue on that question.
thanks

Oracle Certifications are only designated by Silver, Gold & Platinum in Japan. Japan had their own Oracle Certification designations before the Oracle Certification Program was created in 1997. The Japan certification branding (silver, gold, platinum) was not changed in Japan since this branding is highly recognized in Japan.
Below is a mapping of how Japan's credentials map to the Oracle Certification Program's:
* Silver = Associte
* Gold = Professional
* Platinum = OCM
A person is recognized as as earning an Oracle Certification credential, not a company.

K8N platinum and firewall

I just bought K8N platinum and got some problems with the firewall, I cant choose any other profile, like custom, high, low and medium.
the problems is that when I tell it to change it starts and it stands: "Configuration settings are being applied" and there it stands forever (just tested, it stood like that for 6 houres before I shut it down) and under it stands :
Error in ProfileCustom1Base Set : Invalid selection. Please choose a valid selection.
Error in ProfileCustom2Base Set : Invalid selection. Please choose a valid selection.
is it any solution to this?
I have tried to update, reinstall drivers

X-Fi Platinum and mixed digital

Hello,
i have x-fi platinum and dtt 2500 speakers which are 5. dolby digital speakers while used through spdif out and 4 channels when used through analog outputs, in speakers panel i have 4/4. speakers configuration.
i have two problems:
. when i am using speakers with digitall output without dd or dts sound output is mixed exactly in two channel:
front left with rear left and front right with rear right
in my last music card audigy 2 zs i had only front channels in digital output in the same configuration!!
2.i want to decode Dolby Digital by external amplifier and DTS by X-fi.
in entertainment mode there are two different menus for each standard but it is not possible to change options like i want because switching something in anyone menu switches the same options in second menu
how can i pass this problems?

I know some Line 6/Variax's include a DI box with balanced XLR out... if yours does include this, just make sure its inabled - if it DOESNT include a DI pass, you may have to purchase one. This solved my problem (acoustic/electric guitars), which produced scratchy, dull output similar to yours.
I wouldnt spend too much on it though. Something like this would do. : http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-BEH-GI00--s-di-box.html
Best luck.

EWQLSO Platinum and Node

Hi Guys,
I just bought EWQLSO Platinum and am about to purchase a new mac mini as a node machine. anyone has any experience with this? I heard somewhere that 3rd party plug-ins can't be noded. can anyone verify this?
thanks

Well, I run a lot of Logic plugs on my tracks. In combination with freezing you can get very far unless you use only EXS and 3rd party plugs.
There is plenty of reasons or situations that this would be valuable. Say you want several Space Designers, Sculptures, ES2... You can spend less time waiting for a freeze and balancing all that out ahd just continue working.
It's very useful for many users.

P965 Platinum and XP hell - found a way

Hi guys,
I had ugly startup problems with the P965 Platinum and a Samsung Spinpoint SATAII HDD. So I want to share with you how I finally got there. I tried for a whole day to install XP as I wanted a dual boot with Vista. Trying XP Home OEM did not work, I got those blue screens we have seen in here. I tried everything, but to no avail. Two short beeps during startup also confused me, but forget about those for now. Well after hours of frustration I installed Vista. It worked! And told me that my Corsair RAM was probably OK, as well as my HDD. Then I had a drink too much and went to bed.
Today I slipstreamed XP with Service Pack 2, and managed to make a bootable CD. So now I got XP Home SP2. Tried again, and this time I got past blue screens...but when XP came to the first reboot...arghh no HDD. Today I was actually going to RMA the whole crap, but got a tip from the vendor.
On the MSI driver CD there is a IDE folder, with a "floppy" containing the AHCI ICH8 drivers. I read the readme and moved the files to a floppy, then put the floppy into the drive. Then I went into the BIOS and set SATA to AHCI. Started the install, pressed F6 and loaded the drivers from the floppy. I selected ICH8 AHCI, and XP was happy. During the installation it read the floppy once more and obviously recognized stuff. So here I am, up and running. Rock steady.
I think both MSI and vendors should inform us better about such.
I still got those two short beeps at startup, three if the USB CDRom is on. Can anyone please explain those beeps to me?
Cheers,

Glad you found your way out of "hell". The problems that threw themselves in your way are well known to many P965 Plat. users in this forum. It is good to see that you were able to solve them.

Usually it is one beep for each USB-device attached.

K8N Neo Platinum and Maxtor SATA II 250GB 6V250F0

Hi folks,
Having a bit of fun with this one. After first installing the new hard drive (Maxtor SATA II 250GB 6V250F0) , the BIOS immediately recognised it, I could boot into Windows, and Windows recognised it, and I thought I was in for a smooth ride. Sadly, the good news ends there.
Tried to initialise the disk, but this simply gave an error after a few seconds, and wrote a whole load of controller error messages to the system event log. Since then, I've done the following troubleshooting steps:-
(1) Tried in Normal Mode and Safe Mode, made no difference.
(2) Tried with the jumper on the back of the drive set to limit it to SATA I, as I'm connecting to SATA I controllers on the motherboard. Made no difference with it on or off. Tried a second jumper just in case the first one was faulty; still made no difference.
(3) Tried using different power cables and molex connectors; made no difference.
(4) Tried using different data cables; made no difference.
(5) Tried connecting to each of the four SATA ports; made no difference. Tested each port with another drive ((an older Maxtor SATA I drive, which has always worked fine), and they each worked fine.
(6) Tried with and without another SATA drive (an older Maxtor SATA I drive, which has always worked fine); made no difference.
(7) Checked the drive firmware (VA111630); apparently already the latest.
(8) Used the nVidia registry fix to disable NCQ; made no difference.
(9) Disabled write caching; made no difference.
(10) Ran powermax 4.22 to test the drive, and it reports no problems with the drive at all. Did the full surface scan just in case, and a burn-in test; these also reported no problems. Curiously, they also reported no problems when I did the same tests with the back jumper removed; i.e. running it in SATA II mode when connected to a SATA I port apparently didn't bother powermax. Go figure.
The only way I've got anything to happen with the drive so far is to set it to run in PIO mode(!), which I did briefly, and which enabled the drive to be initialised in Windows. Haven't tried much else in that mode yet, not least because I have no intention of actually using it in that mode for obvious reasons.
So...we have a perfectly functioning disk, attached to a perfectly functioning SATA port, with supposed complete compatibility between them, and with pretty much all other bases covered, and the end result is...it doesn't work.
Has *anyone* got this particular drive model (Maxtor 6V250F0) to work with a K8N Neo Platinum, and if so, how??? ??? ???

Latest Update (this is a real Twilight Zone one ):
LOL, well I should have known better than to be optimistic about anything where this drive is concerned. With Windows drivers installed, it seemed to work okay as a storage drive. So I then installed XP on it, and sure enough it hangs when loading the OS. As the next test, I did a clean install of XP on an IDE drive I have installed, which worked fine (could boot no problems). I then cloned that to the Maxtor drive (the clean OS had no nVidia drivers installed), and not only did the Maxtor drive fail to boot, but so did the IDE drive (even though nothing has changed on that drive!) Both would hang at the Windows loading screen. So then I deleted the partition on the Maxtor drive, so it was effectively back to the situation where the IDE drive booted okay previously (with a blank Maxtor drive attached), but now it continued to fail to load. If I unplugged the Maxtor drive, however, then the IDE drive would boot. If I then re-attached the Maxtor drive, the IDE drive would still boot, even though that would be exactly the same situation in which it didn't boot before the Maxtor unplug and replug. In short, it simply makes no sense whatsoever. ???
A summary of facts/findings:-
(1) System works fine; all components checked and pass diagnostic tests, no Windows problems in the event log or device manager, no random crashes or anything like that. The Maxtor drive passes Powermax tests fine.
(2) If the Maxtor drive is attached while using nVidia drivers, it cannot be used at all.
(3) If the Maxtor drive is attached while using Windows drivers (in UDMA6 mode), it can be used in some circumstances (described as follows).
(4) If the Maxtor drive has no OS installed on it, it can be used fine.
(5) If the Maxtor drive has an OS installed on it, it will hang at boot time.
(6) If the Maxtor drive has an OS installed on it, other drives (being booted from) will hang at boot time.
(7) If another drive has failed to boot because the Maxtor drive has an OS on it, deleting all data/partitions from the Maxtor drive will not enable the first drive to boot.
(8) If another drive has failed to boot because the Maxtor drive has/had an OS on it, unattaching the Maxtor drive will enable it to boot once again.
(9) Once another drive has managed to boot again, the Maxtor drive can be reattached (with data/partitions having been deleted), and it will boot again. If it still has the OS on it, however, it will cause the first drive to hang again.
(10) None of this highly abnormal behaviour is experienced using a Samsung Spinpoint drive (with the same SATA II interface) instead.
What really puzzles me about this is the apparent memory of the system for the previous boot. (7) and (9) above are identical in the conditions of the drives when the boot is made, and the only difference in the situation is that before (7) the previous boot has failed, and before (9) the previous boot has succeeded. How/why that should influence the current boot (after a hard reset, with power down in between to ensure no residual current effects), and why this should interact with the Maxtor drive but not any other drive, is a complete mystery. It's also pretty odd that an OS can boot when the Maxtor drive has ordinary data on it, but will hang if the Maxtor drive has an OS on it.
There is clearly a lot more going on here than any standard version of the way OSs boot and load drivers can account for.

MSI P45 Platinum and Neo2-FR

Hello everyone!
I have small question will P45 Platinum and P45 Neo2-FR work fine with those memories OCZ DDR2 PC8500 4096MB KIT, Reaper HPC, 2x2048MB, Heatpipe, (CL5-5-5-18) ?

Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 04-October-08, 18:05:31
A few facts about the P45 Chipset and those memory modules:
1) According to Intel Specifications, the Intel P45 Chipset natively supports DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 modules, that is it.
2) Those OCZ Modules are essentially DDR2-800 modules (use DDR2-800 chips). DDR2-1066 is an overclocking rating that will force you to overvolt these sticks above DDR2 standard voltage.
3) EPP profiles are pre-programmed OC profiles that are not fully supported on Intel Chipsets but are for NVidia Chipsets only.
The bottom line is:
-> To run those modules @standard DDR2-800 speed should be no problem (neither on the P45 Platinum nor on the P45 Neo2-FR.
-> Trying to get the system stable @DDR2-1066 speed may or may not work stable, as this means overclocking both the memory controller AND the modules. So, get ready to some tweaking of memory related BIOS settings (inlcuding memory voltage, MCH Voltage, DDR reference voltages and timings) to find stable settings for non-standard clock speeds.
So I shouldn't have any problems to start computer after I connect everything? And what IF I will be unlucky and those memories won't work ?

MSI P45 Platinum and Scythe Ninja 2

Hi all,
I'm a rookie here and sorry if this question has already been asked but search didn't give solution. I'm planning to buy an MSI P45 Platinum and found Circu-Pipe 2 interesting. They said it leaves enough space for "giant CPU heatsinks". Scythe's Ninja 2 seems to be a giant one... Cause I will purchase them via net, I cannot try them manually in a shop. Does anyone (or friend...) have the same or similar Circu-Pipe-d mainboard with a Ninja 2? Will them work together?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Managed to find the following link after doing a search, hope it answer ur queries
