Update your Realtek High Definition Audio Driver.

 

Yup. I just noticed there was an update and did just that. It's working now, though the profiles are not for some reason. Thanks!

 

See post #2070:

Install Nahimic 1.2.2

 

Eh, I've already read that post and tried reinstalling. Plus, I did not see mention there regarding profiles not working, only regarding crashes.

I can always try again, I suppose, though I suspect the issue lies elsewhere.

 

I've uninstalled Nahimic and installed again with this version 1.2.2 and the profiles are working fine now.

 

Ah, well, okay. I will give it a shot later then once I am home from work. No harm in trying at the very least. Thanks again!

Edit: And it worked! Thanks, mate!

 

Anyone really sick of the windows key only being on the right side of the keyboard. Most people are right handed so they are using that hand for mouse or something else. Having the windows key on the left of windows shortcuts would be really nice. They should swap the FN and Windows key... IMO. Probably the most annoying issue with this notebook. Especially if you regularly use other keyboards.

 

The logic behind it being you are less likely to press it by accident in game.

 

Make sure to update the BIOS & EC to the latest version, then update Realtek HD audio driver, remove SBC2, then install Nahimic. All of these procedure are required in order to enable Nahimic.

 

Svet can fulfill your dream, check with him for a customized EC firmware.

Finally got my msi gt72 with the i7 5700. tested some prime95 to see temps and freq and tdp
-50mv on cpu and max fans.
will be trying going further with undervolt and raising the bins to 37 to see how it manages.

 

Hey guys, I understand you must update BIOS & EC with the maximum care and I'm really scared to screw up. If anything would happen, warranty wouldn't save my life right?

It's a GT72 Dominator Pro and I love to have my stuff updated but...

 

when you do it like it subscrided in the manual, you have nothin to fear about. i personally updatet my device as well

 

by the way, somethin new about win 10 and gt 72. the realese is very very near

 

Guys I'm starting to feel pretty nervous. I downloaded the latest and correct version of the BIOS for my model and I got till point 11.

http://www.msi.com/files/pdf/Flash_BIOS_by_UEFI_BIOS_Setup_Utility_en.pdf

Once I pressed yes, that window dissapeared and nothing happened. I'm ''stuck'' in the -MSI IN-BIOS update option ver 1.0 UEFI BIOS UPDATE- screen. I'm just seeing my pendrive light blinking fast.

It's been an hour since I started with the process... I guess It's not normal but sigh... I'll have to wait...

Edit: 4 hours, the laptop is getting hot...

 

i'm flash bios file direct from hd internal ..never problem ..
any question
the new cpu 5th is upgradable on the model g72 pro 2qe ? (by bios update)
gsync is possible on the dpminator gt72 pro 2qe?

 

That is not normal.

 

So what keys are gamers pressing with their left hand while in a game? Just curious why it would justify changing the location of something that is standard on all other keyboards. It should be programmable.

Although good in a game, its a PITA for everything else, but I do understand that many people use these systems for games... however, this one thing will likely have me looking elsewhere for a 980M SLI.

 

Left control and alt along with their palm on the wasd keys.

 

Did you manage this situation?

Thought I would throw this out for those wanting better control of their systems sound without waiting for the the bugs to be worked out. Sorry if this is a repeat of another post. I have uninstalled the MSI SBC software from my system and use the following free software to tweak my sound as needed for gaming and music:

Download

Equalizer APO - http://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/files/

Choose correct .exe for your system

Peace GUI for APO - http://en.osdn.jp/projects/sfnet_peace-equalizer-apo-extension/releases/

GUI interface to modify Equalizer APO as well as instructions


Example of Peace GUI




Using this setup will allow you more control options of the sound produced by your system. Different custom options can be produce as needed. Hope it helps.

btw: Oh forgot to mention if this works for you consider a donation to the software developers as appropriate.

 

While i have tried using the Nahimic audio software, i cannot help but feel that the old creative sound blaster cinema 2 software was much superior in both sound clarity/quality and ease of use. Is it possible anyone around here has the last working driver for the realtek chip and the cinema 2 software? Please help.

 

u are not alone in this. even with the latest 1.2.2, nahimic is still totally rubbish both in terms of lacking audio quality and still causing apps to crash or not function properly. it's really a bad move for MSI. all the hype but end up disappointment

 

Hello,
I just have my new GT72 2QE 1449US model, I have installed the latest drivers but my benchmark seems to be weaker that what I can read in the internet, for a i7 5700 + 980m I scored only 10880 at 3DMark11 and 8132 @FireStrike 1.1
Also I have encountered a lot of applications error when I am playing (nothing very specific, just application has stopped, except for ROme 2 which actually freeze the laptop and I have to do a hard reset), I was wondering is there specific issue or tips to know on this model, I was not expecting so many crashes on a new model.

 

try this
http://download.msi.com/nb_drivers/..._EQ__Win8.1_Win8_Win7_WHQL_6.0.1.7399(MS-1781 Dynaudio).zip

in case the link doenst work, u can manually get it from here http://www.msi.com/support/workstation/WT72-2OM.html#down-driver&Win8.1 64

make sure u download as soon as u see this cos im not sure when will msi remove it. enjoy creative sound blaster cinema 2 while u still can, because its days are numbered

 

This is an amazing discovery! tysm!

 

do we need to download SBC2 from utility page as well? or is this the whole package?
if we do need sbc2, which version will work best with given drivers ?

 

The gt72 should have come with a copy of soundblaster cinema 2, unless it was a newer version of the gt72, i am unsure of the compatibility.

 

First link is dead.

 

No it isn't - just broken because of empty space in the link.

Thoughts on the MSI Dominator Pro GT72 2QE-682UK
Considering a PC rebuild or desktop replacement & am on the fence at the mo.

How does the MSI Dominator Pro GT72 2QE-682UK fare as a gaming machine. Looking at Battlefield 4, Company of Heroes 2, and Project Cars.

Would it be able to play them all 1080p in ultra settings above 60fps. Would the answer be the same if I connected to an external monitor?

The DVD drive I would like to swap for either a BluRay Writer or another SSD. How easy is it to do this & where could I get a BluRay Writer to fit?

Will the 980m enable me to use G-Sync?

 

Hello there, saw you on OCUK, as for G-sync yes the 980M in the GT72 can run external monitors running G-Sync, however that particular model does not have it on the internal screen.

 

Which version do you have?
Here's the v1.00.07.
http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/nb/SB_Cinema2_v1.00.07_EQ_1.00.41.zip

 

Hmm the picture isnt processing, but it says i have version 1.00.10

 

I've been trying to figure out why my gsync enabled screen is only outputting 60hz refresh rate when I'm reading in multiple places about a driver that lets you select 75hz refresh rate. Where is this driver that I need to download and install? Is it on the msi support download page? and which one?

 

[solved] had to update video driver manually through nvidia site since geforce experience wasn't helping

 

Can't wait to get this laptop except I have the 970m version with gsync

 

Have you tried the new version that I posted?

 

Can't argue with the value of that model though, enjoy the 970M is still a very nice card.

 

How's your feedback on the 970M with G-Sync? Would you rather get a 980M with G-Sync if you had the chance to make that purchasing decision again?

 

Haven't gotten it yet hopefully things move along quickly. I will let you know what I think of 980m vs 970m + gsync

Does the GT72 with GSync still have a TN panel?

 

It's an IPS panel.

Nope, it comes with LG IPS panel.

 

Downloading and setting up as i type right now

 

Thanks.
I saw the laptop for sale on an online shop and it said TN.
Must be a typo from the shop.
Also, what is the refresh rate?

Cheers!

 

I believe the refresh rate of LP173WF4-SPF1 is 75Hz

 

Thanks.
I saw somewhere that it was 60 but then some new drivers brought it up to 75.
Will it overclock to 100 like the Asus G751?

gt 72 without gsync can still use gsync with those drivers am i right?
i readed somewhere
