Oh dear haha, good you tracked it down Mark, just means that future players now have a solution to there problem!

 

A PATCH xD!!! lol.

I wouldn't say all that work for nothing... Now you know how to do it when the 10.1 drivers come out.

 

to understand.. r u trying to install 9.12 ccc and hotfix and u have problems?

 

it's all here

 

Got some nice x530's (the bass control on the rear of the sub barely/doesnt work) lol.

Although they are not bad, im running the realtek card in 24bit 192k hz sampling and i occasionally get a stutter (odd stuff) but im also checking the DPC latency and im actually getting some yellows in line with the stutter, now im wondering if this also has something to do with my stuttering problems in game, now i need to re-create the troublesome stutter .

Confirmed DPC latency yellow spike for me in call of duty, idling on desktop with wifi browsing and some minor demo downloads is hitting red dpc latency!

Must be the wifi card in my case, will shut off and report back.

 

Is anyone elses speakers rattling while listening to heavy bass?

 

Mine, but only at high volumes (its also the keyboard keys rattling from time to time.)

 

I have the x 540s, which are just basically upgarded version of the 530s aesthetically. I also have a soundblaster x-fi external 5.1 sound card for my laptop, and they work amazingly

 

Yeah, you have the control box seperate This im happy to know that you have them though!

Dude my bass is really loud even when the bass dial is on 0, are you finding this with yours??

I want that soundblaster! having to run through the supplied rca jack to tripple inputs. (although our machines do support dual input outs :/....) WHERES THE THIRD!

What i think is also happening with mine is that all 3 inputs to the sound system is piling up on the bass unit, rendering the side woofer pretty ineffective it doesnt sound bassy as such but rather, like its rattling something (but not rattling an object, just the sub outputting that.)

What do you think of the logitechs?

 

Well my bass is fine, trust me, if my bass was as loud as it can get all the time, i wouldnt have a place to live. The sound blaster is convenient because well it allows easy 5.1 hook up, and it also provides nicer sound than our onboard soundcard. I really like it for just playing games too, it has a 3d effect that basically makes my earphones as good as those super gaming headsets, and i dont have to look geeky its also extremely portable. Overall I think its a necessary investment if you want to play music through your 5.1 speakers with your laptop. My speakers are great, it just sucks that for music I have to use matrix mode, since most music doesnt support 5.1 sound

 

Will definately need to get one then, which outputs does the sound blaster have because i checked and it looks like an rca left right, center/sub 3.5mm and a rear left right 3.5mm?

I could just use the laptops dual out for now i think that would work reasonably well, as i say though, its a shame there not in quad configuration

 

I have the S220 (only 2.1) and with the help of DCC the sound coming out from that thing is awesome

 

I use a pair of Logitech G35 surround headphones, they are amazing.

 

Oh damn cat, I wanted the first post on the 567th page...

 

since idk technically names of anything i just took pictures of all the plugs

 

Ahh cheers mark, thats really cleared things up for me!!, could i also have 1 picture of you with the wires in? is there a also a right and left (rca is the plug type that fits into the right and left ports, the red and white ones) to 3.5mm i think prehaps female connector?

Also how much did you get it from, creative store lists them for about 30 odd pound!

 

i believe youre talking about this thing



and it comes with it when you buy it



and everything plugged in



http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs...4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1262227402&sr=8-4

this is where i bought it, I live in the US so, i believe i got it for around 47 usd, it seems to of went up

 

Muahaha beat you to it,

Thank you very much mark, rep up .

This puts my mind at ease and i shall be looking to purchase one of these magic box' .

 

thank you for plus rep hope it works for you just as easily as it did for me

 

I can't stand having so little posts per page. According to my PPP setting, we're on 114!

 

wut .... ?

 

Happy new year everyone!!!

 

Happy first of January!

 

My exact reaction too...

 

llllllll
rep \lol

 

yeye but college is starting

 

wow I havent been on here for 4 days and it looks like I have missed out on so much :O

 

I really pushed the 9.12 drivers to the limit just then. A few hours of online play at 80 degrees and it smelt like something was melting. No video card related crashes though which is good.

 

thats odd lambo, i've often passed the 80C barrier and had no problems at all xD,

 

Nah it didn't crash...

It just smelt bad...

 

close ur nose

 

Hi Guys, Ive already posted this request in the Adent 7555 is an MSI GT725 thread but as this is the main forum for these laptops I thought I'd ask here too:

Hi Guys, I recently bought one of these fantastic MSI clones. Kudos to DSG (they are generally completely rubbish) for making this model.

Now here comes the begging request.... In my hast to re-MSI and de-Advent the machine I went and updated the BIOS and firmware to the latest on the MSI site. Now they both worked fine and I now have the MSI 2.1 SLIC table, which is handy. Unfortunately, the firmware updates remaps the touch panel back to the MSI defaults.

Does anyone have a copy of the Advent firmware, or could someone please use the dos tool to back there's up and post on here.

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Bazza.

Hey guys,

Had my Advent 6555 now for a while, and I do love it, but...

I recently bought a advent 4489 (msi wind clone) which i have updated to all msi bios etc. Are the GT725 BIOS files compatible with this laptop? Would be nice to have this MSI'ed aswell

Also, Bazzarooney, I believe the 7555 is the same as my 6555 but without blu-ray? if this is the case I'm running windows 7 on mine and my touch buttons are working fine. Would like a backup of mine? if so PM me

cheers guys

raty

 

Why they kept on making clones ..... no they aren't compatible , use the wind bios only. may be this is your clone thingy http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1698 ? OR is it the U100 you using ? they seems to have different bios ...
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodpage2&maincat_no=135&cat2_no=582

 

Death2th3world, i think your missing the point,

my advent 4489 clone has been flashed with an official msi bios off the website, im asking if i can do the same with my 6555, as thats what bazzarooney is implying with his 7555.

The u90 and u100 use the same bios btw, the u120 is compatible in a sense, but using a u100 bios on a u120 causes problems like certain functions not working. the 4489 is a re-shelled u90, hence why it is compatible.

 

Quick Reading and missed it ..

 

and that's your answer in case you missed it too :

And as it's a Clone , it should work fine.

 

Ok awesome cheers,

Any idea what bazzarooney was refering to when he says the touch panel buttons have been remapped to msi's default? I thought the touch panel by the screen was the same on both? it works perfectly on ubuntu and windows 7 without installing anything :S

Left to right mine read:
previous track, stop, pause/play, next track, mute, webcam, internet, media and wifi. does it differ on the proper msi?

raty

 

MSI Touch Panel layout : previous - stop - pause/play - forward - eco - turbo - webcam - bluetooth - wifi - p1

Some keys could be in the wrong place or none functioning as the firmware was meant for msi machines and not advent .. as you can see from the above Layouts that it's not the same on both system

 

Oh i see, if i do update the bios etc, but keep the advent firmware, is there a keyboard shortcut for eco/turbo? on the wind is fn+f10 like

cheers

 

No keyboard shortcut I'm afraid , turbo is for overclocking the CPU , that's one of the little extras the msi got over the advent

 

Ah bugger :/

hmm, I wonder if i got my hands on a MSI touch panel i could replace the advent one....it would use the same connectors...

 

You can order the touch sensor panel from MSI, you might need the sensor board also.

 

Guys, would it be classed as odd if i had random foreign radio channels (i believe) coming out of my speakers? Could this be down to the line quality of my speaker input (i dont think it happens when the speakers arent plugged in, and im using a very cheap audio rca to 3.5mm connection.

 

May be the dead's trying to contact you OOOOOOOOOOOO It has to be the cheap cable , he heard weird sound(not foreign radio though ) when using and cheap extension i bought off eBay but play perfectly with a more expensive one from eBuyer .. or it may just be your be speakers itself or the jack

 

Mind you it could also be the rca to tripple 3.5mm head connector :S, i mean i dont hear et and his alien buddies when i play the music (but it does actually pop.)

I've tried moving the power cables around etc, not working, its silly methinks xD.

 

Try playing with the one that enters the sub ..

 

Hmm the setup is rather strange dead,

The primary speaker is the front right, which connects to the sub with a D-Sub connection and the power cable runs from the sub.

Although all the other speakers input to the sub, the imput to all the speakers together is from the front right speaker.

 

Hang on are you saying you've pulled the whole thing apart?
