My audio boost lights on my motherboard have recently stopped working. They will only light up briefly while my PC is booting up, but other than that they dont turn on anymore? Im talking about the lightning looking strip of red leds as well as the audio boost logo on the motherboard. Any ideas? They did work before but i did not realize why or when they turned off.

Is it possibly driver dependent? Could you update your audio drivers/apps from MSI - or possibly update the BIOS. There are a few things that could have happened but trying those two things should help possibly fix it


No LED on the motherboard. Everything else works fine.

I uninstalled reinstalled the newest version of realtek HD audio. I will run an update of the bios although it is the same one i already have. Ill try that and get back to you. Thanks though
 


Goat Eater my good sir. You have one (announcer voice) ONE Million DOlllaaarrsssss! But in all seriousness just updated the BIOS and Bamn! LEDs are back on. Yea i had the sound and all but something about the led strip from the audio boost being off just bugged me. Anyways thank you so much!
