    Question SPDIF not working on ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A

    I do not see this setting at all. The problem is the soundbar doesn't even show up in my sound settings so it's not an option.

    Question SPDIF not working on ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A

    What settings would this be in? I don't see it on my onboard devices in BIOS and there isn't a direct way to set it in the Realtek Audio Console.

    Question SPDIF not working on ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A

    Hello all, Just recently did an upgrade to an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A and Ryzen 7 5700X3D from an i9-9900k. My last motherboard was a ASUS Prime Z390-A. I had my soundbar connected to the motherboard via SPDIF and everything was working fine but once I did the upgrade my soundbar no longer...

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    Finally got my new motherboard in. After testing with different RAM, and a different CPU I decided it was likely the motherboard. Got the new one in and everything works as expected! I appreciate all the help.

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    Interesting that is good to know. Yeah the 9900K has served me well but I started experiencing bottlenecking. Thank you for checking, I’ll check for new motherboards and try to get one. I’ll be returning both the cpu and motherboard, I got the mobo on eBay so I’ll have to see if I can return...

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    Well, before I did any BIOS update I tried to launch into BIOS with my 5700X3D the very first time and it did the same thing so maybe the board was just bricked to begin with. I wonder if at some point static electricity messes it up? I was touching my PC case at all times but possibly slipped...

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    Yes one ram stick in the A2 slot, I’ll occasioanally try one in the B2 slot of the same pair. I did try to flash the bios and I can’t tell if it was successful or not but the signs showed that it was. I tried 2 different BIOS versions. I’ve bought many secondhand PC parts but this has been the...

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    So I plugged the Ryzen 4100 in and same thing happened except this time the red CPU light on the motherboard lit up longer and more pronounced this time. I suspect possibly something wrong with the socket perhaps or the mobo itself in this case.

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    Yeah that’s what I’m thinking tbh, if it does post then I’ll maybe keep the motherboard and return the cpu but we’ll see. Motherboard doesn’t seem like the culprit at the moment.

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    I tried this and the same result with the DRAM light. I’ve been running these RAM sticks for years without problem, would it be an issue for AMD boards?

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    Yeah, I’m still not understanding what could be the culprit here. When I had my GPU in the mobo the fans were spinning. All my fans are spinning, some of my rgb is on so I feel like the mobo is actually working but it’s a black screen but my monitor turns on so it receives the signal so maybe...

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    Yes so I bought the motherboard “open box” from eBay but it turns out to be slightly used and the CPU from Amazon but it came repackaged even though they said it’s new and sold it as new. I suspect it’s one of the CPU’s from china that are being sold pretty cheap like from AliExpress. I’ve seen...

    Question New motherboard and CPU - - - - black screen, and BIOS update doesn’t work ?

    I do need to see which ram sticks pair because I definitely mixed it up. Everything except the mobo and cpu has been carried over. Worth mentioning that the cpu is supposedly new but the mobo is used. I will try and check these things tomorrow as I’m pretty exhausted at the moment. Thank you for...
