The easiest way around this is to get a simple USB to coax or digital adapter, this can act as a second sound card and can be setup to get output from winamp or the like. Here's a larger example of what I'm talking about but you should be able to find one for cheap, they're pretty common for laptops that don't have digital outputs on them:

Hope that helps you out.

Hey guys,

I have to disagree with you to some extent. At the moment, I have two discrete audio channels from the same onboard sound. If I set s/pidf (digital out) as default and start media center, it plays in teh living room and continues to hold that stream. If I switch the default audio to line out (analog out) and start say itunes, or a video game, it will play in the computer room on the 2nd set of 5.1 speakers, just not in digital. Hatax, that header is a s/pdif digital header, and I believe the front panel audio is only analog - two different headers.

My question at this point is how the internal s/pdif header will act in the realtek control panel. You think it is the same source as the s/pdif out on the back panel on the mobo or is there is no way I will be able to differentiate between the two anywhre in vista or the realtek control panel?


Thanks again,
JJ

Cpt Ledanek: increase VCore at least up to 1.35V. My E8400 works at 4GHz with 1.43V.

replaced the heatsink mounting solution with bolts and put on ceramique, even with a tiny fan on the center heatsink I see my pwm1 at 79C after load atm.

This is a Q6600 400*9 atm.

vcore 1.5
CPU VTT 1.23
MCH 1.23
ICH 1.09
DDR2 1.9
ICHIO 1.55

I should be considerably under that shouldn't I? Temp wise? It doesn't seem to go over, atleast not yet, and cpu temp 68C max atm, but I'm worried about the PWM.

that should be fine.....Unless you are under load like 24/7 but I think pwm can go up to 100c and be safe....

I already did the bold mod:up: ...sorry if that suggestion was wasn't for me:(
advance thanks

I'll give that a go as soon as my mini fan arrives
:up: ...as for the PWM...i'M still scratching my head on how to cool that down. :shrug:
advance thanks

I'm getting POST 52: "Test all memory (clear all extended memory to 0"
what that means?:shrug:

advance thanks

Unfortunately it won't boot with the G.Skill and 16B09 at all - put my Ballistix back in and it's ok.

could be a bad stick in there!...OR...voltage is to low.

Um if you're placing the 40mm fan where Ace did as shown in the link in your sig then you will be cooling the PWM...

I just realized that after looking back at the pic:shakes:
thanks:up:

Anyone having problems running high speed RAM ? tried my new aXeRAM DDR2-1200+ and Patriot DDR2-1150 and no go at high (1100+ speeds) ...what gives and I am using 16.B09 BIOS too - would official 14 be good for clockimng a Celeron 420 w/ high speed RAM - getting the MARS board by the way... for benching

there might be a very few to get above ddr1100 speed...i don't think this board is good for that high of speed...you can try other bioses just to see.

why not the X38A?....just curious.

I added a fan to my PWM and it dropped my PWM temps so considerably, I thought the added airflow + bolt mod would be enough with my fsb, but it dropped from 80C to 60C under load with a fan.

Currently running at a Q6600 400*9 atm, with Corsair Ballistix at 1.2 modifier (960).

vcore 1.49
CPU VTT 1.23
MCH 1.44
DDR2 1.9
ICH 1.09
ICHIO 1.55

Cpu temp has gone down to 63C coretemp, 60C using realtemp, and I figure I got some more headroom to overclock some more. I tried 420*9 with 1.52v (set memory to 1.0) and I get instant errors when using prime.

Any suggestions on what I could try to get some more out of this cpu? Not sure how high I wanna/can take my vcore.

//edit, that lasted for about 30 minutes before rebooting without any prime errors, bumping the cpu voltage to 1.5 now, got sneaky suspicion it aint the cpu though.

Vdroop FTW thats why prime probably failed :clap:

using push/pull set up on my TRUE so that even harder to do

Do you actually think that Vdroop mod would make a difference?

I thought that only messing with VTT and GTLref would do the trick?

Yeah, I'm also thinking it could be my memory, I tweaked it a lot on my last motherboard to get it stable. Adjusted it down now and I'll see if it reboots in 3-4 hours :P

arg i could kick this mobo for the mommend :mad: !
a little whill back i had a QX9650 ES to play with , so IP35pro with the chi^p worked . no problem for that but oc'ing :shrug: , sinds the last bios update nothing changed and that's 2month's now .
the ES did like only 5ghz under a cascade and 5.2ghz under LN² , first i thougted it whas the cpu . now im sure its the board! buyed me a new QX9650 but a retail : same all over again , 5ghz max cascade nothing more .
so it punt's out to a immature bios , so plz abit and xs member's do something about it ! remarks to the bios voltage's in bios are shown all wrong (i have to set 1.45vcore to get 1.3vcore real , and that's with a v-droop) temp's are freaky! even core-temp cant read the right temps on air !

hope this get's througe to someone at abit or a member here can look in to it or this board is out off here for good !

Is the B09 bios better at ocing ram as compared to the others or is it same just different for the cpu's

...maybe I haven't research this enough, but any of you guys play around the E-Q?
Is there something you guys adjust there?

Getting MARS board, a X38A, 780i board (maybe), and a 790i board :D over the next two months - now that I am getting Palit Videocards for testing overclocking straight from Palit:shocked: :up: :yepp:

Getting 01 and 02 errors over 1100

I can't get ddr2-1000 to work with 400x9 on my q6600. However, it worked back when I was running 300x10 on an E2180. I think the high bus speed may have something to do with it.

Any suggestions?
MCH voltage is already at 1.44v.

I have a q6600 @ 3.6ghz (400x9) on an IP35-Pro.
It's running with 1.45 vcore.
MCH is at 1.44v
ICH is bumped up two notches, vtt is bumped up one notch (1.23 I think)
voltage for the ram is at 2.1v which is what I use to use to hit ddr2-1000 with 5-5-5-15 2T timings. Now it doesn't work with that.

I really don't mind, right now I have it running at 4-4-4-12 2T at ddr2-800, it's fast enough for me and the extra bandwidth won't do much (if anything) and I'd much rather have the extra speed of the CPU and fsb then the ram.
Just wondering if there's anything I could try.
