This board arrived 2 days ago along with a retail e8400. I have been loading everything onto this new system and testing it the past 2 days.
For the life of me I can't get the computer to recognize the onboard audio! It does not come up in Device Manager or in the Sounds/Audio Devices in control panel. I've never had a problem like this with a motherboard. I installed the MSI provided Realtek HD Audio drivers, but no luck.
Anybody help me troubleshoot this?
Another issue: a lot of the motherboard's LEDs stay lit up while its running fine in WinXP Pro (i.e. LEDs showing system is power-on, is in standby mode, and that operating system is booting). ALL of them are on, even as I am writing this. What is that about?
I was having these same issues so I flashed to BIOS v1.83, but still have the same exact problems. When the BIOS is loading it still says version 1.1.0xxx or whatever, but I confirmed it is 1.8B3 in the BIOS. The flash utility finished just fine with no hicups.
Someone help! I'm getting frustrated here...
