Microsoft or Gigabyte drivers? What's the actual audio chipset on that thing?

Tried both. Realtek ALC1220-VB

 

[sdifox]

You mean for the onboard sound? Or do you have your own soundcard?

Onboard

 

[DrMrLordX]

Onboard

Okay, that's been a problem for a lot of the x570 boards in the Aorus lineup. Lots of people reporting dead ports. Are you getting no sound at all, or other problems?

Garbled or the device disappears thus no sound. Don't get how you can mess up sound...

 

[Ajay]

Yes, you need 2 that are labeled CPU. Pretty sure we found the issue.

Went through the box again and found it - must’ve mistaken it for an 8 pin PCIe cable b/4. After breakfast, I will wire it up. Surprised the guys on the MSI forum didn’t catch this. Thanks again Mark.

Have you changed any voltages in the UEFI? Is this problem at bone stock?

Stock.

 

[DrMrLordX]

Stock.

Okay. There was a known problem with some audio crackling/popping on the Aorus x570 boards with different vSoC settings or VDDG or VDDP or . . . something. Don't remember which one. Anyway if you're stock, that shouldn't be an issue.

The device disappearing is a new one, though. Usually people just get dead ports. Have you bugged Gigabyte support about it yet?

put in a ticket, not sure they have anything to say other than rma, which I am reluctant since I got this from the US...

XMP shouldn't impact sound should it?

it worked right for like 3 days lol


ahahaha, it's working again... talk about flaky

First boot to the bios on my MEG x570 Unify. It was the extra EPS cable that did the trick (2x8 pins). All this because I saw a video that both cables weren’t needed - duh. This was out of the case, so today I have to get it properly assembled and load up windows. An interesting journey, now that it's looking good. I'll add my system components to my sig in case there are further issues. Cheers!

XMP shouldn't affect onboard sound since it's typically handled by separate bridge.

i'd be surprised if support didn't infer an RMA because this is one of those devices that should honestly just work with any driver.

I'm with the it can't hurt whether it's needed or not camp. If my power supply has it and my motherboard will take it it's hooked up. I figure if nothing else the voltages will be more consistent with both hooked up.

Here's to hoping the rest of your journey goes smoothly!

I have a new ASRock X570 Taichi coming in to run my new 3950X. Anything I should be aware of with this motherboard as I begin assembly?

BTW, I'll be using the components left over from my now sold 9900KF system in my sig. Everything but the Intel cpu and motherboard is going into new rig.

 

[sdifox]

lol now the intel wifi nic dissapears and sound is messed up again

Glad you got it running, too bad we did not figure it out until after an RMA. I was not aware of this extra cable needed until i built my new rig. Too bad as i should have gotten a better new PSU for the old rig so when it is time to replace my Ryzen 3800X i would not need a new PSU. I do remember reading that the extra cable is not always needed but don't you have a 3900X?

I have this motherboard. It’s been a good purchase for the most part. Just make sure when you add the video card that it doesn’t stop the motherboard fan from spinning. I also had to remove the heat sink, because my m.2 nvm drive came with a heat sink.

If you have a sound card, be sure to update to the 1.70 bios. You may have issues if you don’t.

Sorry, I did not speak up on the cables earlier, I have been in the hospital a lot lately. But I have been on a mission to dispel the rumor that only one cable is needed. Every time this crops up, it just solidifies my position.

Question for all the new Ryzen 2 builders.

Are you just using your XMP profile for memory or the Ryzen Dram Calculator?

i'm using XMP and wondering if I should dabble in the latter.

I tried the Ryzen dram calculator and have had nothing but troubles. Others have done well. I stick with XMP now,.

I just used the calculator for the first time yesterday. My 3600 ram is now running at 3800, so I'm happy.

Has anyone created a guide on how to use that app i'm just looking at it now and there is quite alot in there.

Yep, 3900X. Allot of older PSUs came with just an 8 & 4 pin connector. This board has two 8 pin 12v inputs (which is nuts, because that's over 700 watts available power!).

I was using some website. Let me see if I can find it.

Ryzen Dram Calculator. I have the 16GB kit of G.Skill Flare X 3200MHz CL14. I run mine as 3600 CL14 so I didn't really have a choice in the end. It's more fun to tinker around with it a couple of times rather than the single click enable DOCP.
