Z87-G45 Audio Issue - Back panel jack is staticy, front panel is perfect

Hi,
Experiencing this weird issue with this board - up to date drivers on BIOS, Realtek and everything else. The back output jack of the board has trouble with higher frequencies and will produce static / corrupted noise reproducing higher frequency sounds (e.g. the Windows speaker tests). The frontpanel jack is perfect and reproduces everything. My "work around" is currently to use the FP jack, but I would like to fix the backpanel (same speakers).
Any ideas?

You wouldn't believe it.. But I RMA'ed my board last week and got replacement on saturday.. Not only does I still have random ass DPC latency spikes all over the shop, rear audio jack is broken as per OP's. Left channel produces almost static while Right channel is fine and Front jack works fine, it would appear MSI's QA seems to be slipping on this board judging by various other posts of usb/audio/dpc latency spike threads.

  • MSI Z87-G45 Audio Boost color LED

    On my MSI Z87-G45 I was wondering if anyone knew how to turn off the LED behind the plate of the Audio Boost logo. I disabled the sound card in the BIOS but seen no option on disabling that LED. I guess it is only a minor issue but the pink/purple light is really messing up my Red and Black theme. If there is an option to make it glow red that would be perfect but it kinda looks like the plate is just turning the white LEDs behind it pink.
    Also this may be a question for another thread but I think I'm safe in assuming that my X-Fi Titanium PCI-X would be better audio then the onboard, correct?

     Yes, that's why I have one on my Z77.

  • MSI Z87-G45 reboot issue

    I build a gaming system based on a MSI Z87-G45 motherboard. Everyting is working fine with windows 8.1.
    I can boot, shutdown, suspend, ... but i can't reboot. When I reboot, from os or from bios, my screens go to black and the fans continue spinning. The computer do not reboot. Never. I have to press the power button for 4s, and the once more in order to manualy reboot.
    I'm running the 1.9 bios with stock settings. All my drivers are up-to-date (dowloaded from the product support page). I think that the problem is bios related since I can't reboot properly from it. Oh yes. I've got the A2 code.
    I tried different settings like to set the wake options from os and so but it didn't work.
    And I've got a RM750 psu and i'm not drawing so much power out of it.
    Any ideas?

    I had chosen to update the 1.9 bios with M-Flash but I hadn't chosen the bios+me option. Now i've done it and it works. No me driver reinstall needed.

  • Z87-G45 usb issues

    I'm having a heck of a time with this board and if I can't get this taken care of today I'll have to RMA it. I'm having many problems with the usb ports. After loading windows and installing the drivers off of the disc, none of my flash drives would work. I received the popular "unknown device" which I could not fix. So I re-installed windows. I tried installing the drivers from MSI's site, but after installing them one by one my keyboard and mouse randomly stop working. If I load in safe mode they do work. Also, not once has any of my flash drives been recognized.
    Is there any hope for me, or is RMA the best option?

  • How to hide front panel objects behind other front panel objects

    Hi,
    I need tho change an existing project and to make it simple just want to hide some front panel objects behind others. But I can't find how to put the one I wnt to the front hiding all others. So now there are some in front that should be hidden.
    Is there a button or menu item "Move to front / back" like in many other programs?
    Thanks

    Hi Martin,
    what about the link I provided in my previous post? What else do you need?
    What about the chapter "fundamentals" in the LabVIEW help?
    Going the way "Fundamentals -> Building the FrontPanel -> How-To -> Reordering Objects" seems rather logically to me…

  • Reference to control on main front panel fails when subvi front panel is closed?

    Hi All,
    I'm experiencing an odd bug. In my code, I use a subvi to control a piece of hardware. This subvi has controls for all of the functions of my hardware.
    I'm changing the value of one of these controls from my main front panel by running a reference to a knob on my main front panel into the subvi, grabbing the value of the knob with a property node, and then updating the value of the subvi control using a signaling property node.
    This works fine when my subvi front panel is open but fails to work at all when the subvi front panel is closed.
    I'm new to labview , so any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Arpan

    What is your LabVIEW version?
    Front panels that are not shown are typically not updated and might not even be loaded into memory.
    The presence of certain code elements (e.g. property nodes) often forces the front panel to be in memory even if it is not shown, but I haven't studied it in a long time so there might be subtleties. Maybe somebody from NI can give more details.
    If it does not work unles the FP is open, open the front panel minimized to avoid distraction.
    Can you attach some code? Maybe there are better ways to do all this anyway.

  • Z87-G45 audio input broken

    When I plug a microphone into either my case's front jacks, or the microphone in on the motherboard panel, the result is the same:  Win 7 detects that I've plugged something into the jack and sets it as the active recording device. 
    HOWEVER, it will not detect any sound whatsoever from the microphone.   Can't voice chat, can't record anything, and the sound meter on the microphone device in sound stays at 0. 
    I've verified that the microphone itself works fine in my laptop.   It also worked fine on my prior motherboard.
    Can anyone suggest any other things for me to try before I send this in for RMA?
    thanks a mil

    have you verified that windows is using the device (its the primary) and its not trying to use something else in recording devices like a USB or something?
    also have you checked the levels are not muted or that the volume is so low its not picking it up? (may have to boost the gain on it as it may be way too low)

  • Z87-G45 Restarting Issue

    My wife and I have just completed our first gaming build (the specs should be in my signature), everything works fine from a cold boot and loads up successfully and I can shut the computer down using Windows or by holding down the power button and switch it back on again successfully. The problem is restarting the computer from Windows, the reset button on the case or the motherboard resetting itself after saving changes from the BIOS menu. The motherboard will begin to power down, all of the ports will become inactive, however it appears to never fully switch off, the fans will continue to run and I have to turn it off using the power button and then turn it back on again for anything to work.
    I have tried reinstalling all of the drivers from the discs, resetting the bios and have checked the connections inside multiple times, everything seems fine and operates perfectly with the exception of this restarting issue. Any help would be appreciated.

    It requires bios version 1.7 or above to fully support Haswell Refresh cpus (like the i7-4790 used). As you are using version 1.6 an update is needed in any case and might cure the issue too.
    With following you can update to the latest version 1.8:
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
         A.) Download the attached archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
         B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
         C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
         D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
         E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
         F.) Boot to the USB
         G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash the bios

  • MSI z87-G45 network issue

    Howdy.
    I've recently started using Powerline networking. Its pretty awesome, but every so often my connection drops. If i look at the powerline plug, all the lights are still on, but when i look at the network port none of the LEDs are on. Sometimes it comes back by itself, most of the time i either need to remove the cable and plug it in from the back of the NIC, or as i have a ssd its quicker to restart the computer. I'm using Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller driver version 8.0.2.42 . I also tried the other method mentioned here about using killer cleaner and only installing the drivers but not the application package, but it happened then too.

    Have you tried a different lan cable?
    well it just happened there. I got it wrong though, the NIC leds were on, and it looked like it was recieving data, but windows said it was connected to an unidentified network. Next time it happens i'll see if i can test it with my partners laptop, and see if its the network, powerline or cable

  • New MSI Z97 Gaming 3 - very strange audio issues

    (sorry for the long post)
    Hi, I recently bought some computer parts from Newegg and built my first gaming pc yesterday, but when everything was finished setting up I noticed a major issue with the audio. Both the headphone jack on the motherboard and the headphone jack from the front panel connector aren't working correctly.
    If I plug in my headphones into the motherboard jack, the audio level is REALLY low. Like, even if I turn up the volume to 100% it sounds like it's only at 10%. I looked through the volume settings for the headphones and didn't notice anything wrong. Then I tried updating my drivers with the cd and ran the live update utility, but nothing changed. Also, the audio will sometimes make distorted/static sounds when the music itself is loud, yet I can still barely hear the music.
    The front panel jack is even worse! The sound is much more distorted/static-y when I plug in my headphones there.
    I know it's not my headphones fault because they work fine on my laptop. Even if I plug in a different pair, I still get the same low volume and static.
    I know the front panel issue is not because of the case. If I put the motherboard in an old HP case and plug in my headphones into the front panel on this case, same issue. (I know the old case normally works fine).
    I even tried running a linux live usb in case it was something wrong with Windows. It still had the same issues.
    My specs:
    MSI Z97 Gaming 3 ATX LGA1150
    Intel Core i5-4590
    MSI GeForce GTX 970
    Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB
    WD Blue 1TB
    XFX XTR Series 550W
    Windows 8.1 Pro
    I would really appreciate some help. It seems like I've tried everything. 

    Hi
    What is the BIOS version your board currently has?
    Try without graphics card and with single RAM stick.
    You could also try out of the case on non conductive surface like wooden table or motherboard box, and see if it works then. Might be something in either cases shortening the board.

  • MSI Xpower Front Panel Headphone Jacks

    No. There is no mainboard connector. You will find the HD Audio connection on the backside of the Quantum Wave card.

  • X-Fi issue - front panel headphone j

    Just replaced my aging Audigy OEM with an X-Fi Platinum yesterday. Sound quality is great and the system is stable, but I'm having a slight issue with the headphone jack on the front panel. When I plug in headphones, the system properly reconfigures the speaker setup for headphones and mutes the speakers. However, after 2 seconds, sounds start playing softly from the right front and subwoofer channels in addition to the headphones.
    Any idea how I can fix the problem? All my connections seem fine and I'm using the latest official X-Fi drivers (not the Beta)

  • P35 Platinum front panel audio with Antec P180 case?

    God I have a headache after reading all those "front panel audio" threads.  Why can't mb's all use the same freaking pinouts!!!!
    The case doesn't have a HD front panel.
    MB pinouts are:
    1. Mic_L         (MIC Left Channel)
    2. GND
    3. MIC_R        (MIC Right Channel)
    4. PRESENCE#
    5. LINEout_R   (analog port right channel)
    6. MIC_JD       (MIC jack detect)
    7. Front_JD
    8. NC (empty)
    9. LINEout_L    (analog port left channel)
    10. LINEout_JD
    Case Front Panel connector is a preconfigured block with pigtails hanging off in case it doesn't match up.
    1. MIC Signal
    2. MIC Power (MIC BIAS)
    3. Ground
    4. FPOUT-R (front right)
    5. FPOUT-L (front left)
    6. RET-R (rear right)
    7. RET-R (rear left)
    glaring differences are the ground and the MIC connectors.
    How do I connect these?  I don't want to fry anything.
    Thanks.

     They do have the same pinouts. There are two standards is the reason for two different pinouts. It's just that your MB is Intel HD and your case is AC-97.
