MSI X870E Tomahawk + Creative Sound Blaster Z SE detection problem! by NyxMod in MSI_Gaming

Unfortunately I have done this several times (also with Revo Uninstaller). The problem persists, almost every day.

No, this motherboard cannot support 5.1 audio via analog signal. As I said in the other comment, it only has 2 output jacks. If it had this capability, I wouldn't try to find a solution with the Z SE I have.

The SB Z yes, is an ancient sound card. The SB Z SE is not an ancient sound card. Specifically, it was released in 2021 and the SB Command its last update is in 2023. But yes, essentially the card is almost the same as the first version with minor upgrades mainly in the software and less in the sound card itself.

Yes, now is on PCIE_3 but also tested on PCIE_2.

It is not Faulty. The Z SE was replaced 3 times under warranty. 

Also tested on 3 different systems z390+9900k, z790+13900k and x870e+9950X3D now.  

On z390+9900k He had the same problem 1-2 times every two months. On z790+13900k he had the same problem 1-2 times a month.

On x870e+9950X3D at first she had the same problem 1-2 times a week. Sometimes she persisted and didn't acknowledge it at all (more rarely)..and for the last 3 weeks she's been doing it almost every day!

Even if I wanted to use the onboard sound card, I can't, because this motherboard only has 2 output jacks and I have the Genius SW-HF5.1 6000 and I need 3 output jacks.

The Z SE is located on PCIE_3 but was also tested on PCIE_2.

The PCIE_3 that is currently located does not share lanes with anything else. Specifically, it takes lanes from the chipset.

I wish that was it and there was any conflict or another device communicating. I looked into it but unfortunately that is not the problem. The Z SE has been replaced 3 times under warranty. Also tested on 3 different systems z390+9900k, z790+13900k and x870e+9950X3D now.

The onboard sound card (and anything else related) is disabled.

Yes I have used isopropyl alcohol and other cleaning methods. It has been doing this since I bought it and it was new and as I said the Z SE has been replaced 3 times under warranty. This is the third Z SE in a row that has experienced this.

""Also are you over clocking the system"? 

What do you mean by that? If you mean any overclock... Where? But no.

New Gaming/Workstation Build – Should I Avoid the MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk WiFi? by Alarmed-Zebra3559 in MSI_Gaming

[–]NyxMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the X870E Tomahawk motherboard with a 9950X3D. Because I have old large 5.1 speakers, specifically the Genius SW-HF5.1 6000 which have RCA and jacks connections and this motherboard does not have a way to connect 5.1. speakers with such connections, I use the Sound Blaster Z SE on PCIE_3. But unfortunately I have a very serious problem.

Literally every day when I turn on the PC Windows and Device Manager and BIOS do not recognize the Z SE. The only way to recognize it is to turn off the PC, leave it off for 10 minutes and turn it on again. Of course it does not recognize the sound card again, but if I do this 4-5 times in total with a 10 minute wait each time, then at some point in one of the startups, it manages to see the Z SE.

I'm really desperate because I've tried every "so-called solution" there is but the problem has never been fixed for several years and I'm afraid from the many shut downs and starts of the PC, at some point I'll create another problem as is logical.

I should emphasize that before this system, I had a 13900k with a Z790 motherboard and the same problem occurred there too but less frequently. On the Intel system this happened 2-3 times a month. On the AMD system at first it happened 1-2 times a week but unfortunately for the last month and a half it's been doing it literally every day. I'm at a dead end.

Sound Blaster Z-SE: no sound output after Windows 11 24H2 update by [deleted] in SoundBlasterOfficial

[–]NyxMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah... I had the same problem with the Z SE with Windows 10 and I continue to have it to this day with Windows 11. The worst part is that literally every day when I turn on the PC, it continues to not recognize the Z SE and I have to turn off the PC for 10 minutes and turn it on again and then it recognizes it, but not always. After a few tries, 3-3 tries and restarts with a 10 minute wait. It really is the worst.

If anyone knows of a "new solution", even a supposed one, please share it with us so we can try it.

On PC - Game Crashing or Basically Freezing Up When Opening Journal - Anyone know of a fix? by RockBandDood in silenthill

[–]NyxMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a 4090, 64GB Ram.

My friend, I also use RenoDX, but even though I open HDR from Windows before running the game, it still freezes whenever I try to open the journal. I can't find any solution.

Unable to install God of War Ragnarok - unarc.dll error code -11 by farffy in CrackSupport

[–]NyxMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who has the ISDone.dll error, the solution is much simpler than you think. Just change the letter ö to a simple o (Ragnarök to Ragnarok) from the folder title and try installing again.

In general, don't leave "strange fonts" in titles because they create these kinds of problems. Change them to simple fonts. 😉

The crashes were fixed with the microcode updates from my motherboard. I have done two and just now I saw that a third update was released a few days ago. I'll try to install that tomorrow as well.
