Replacement Karajan Module

[JnPrather]

Hi guys,

 

I was wondering if anybody knew of any places to purchase a Karajan Audio Module for my DFI LanParty Ultra-D... I've had the board for a few months and it's run great but I think the Karajan Module on my board is crapping out...

 

About a week or two ago I noticed that the output (I only use the Green Line-Out and Pink Mic-in ports on my Karajan) was getting corrupted. That is, it would cut out or would actually cut out to a different signal, almost like a muffled sound. It sounded to me very similar to when audio jacks begin to go bad and you hear only parts of the sound (center channel is gone, but other sounds seem to come through, etc)... Today, I turned my computer on and found that my microphone was no longer working, at all. Also, the sound output seems okay right now, but the noise floor is much much louder than usual (if I turn my headphones up you hear the ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff noise much much louder compared to the signal).

 

For kicks I went ahead and re-installed the chipset and audio drivers, as well as flashing to a different BIOS, with no change. Also I tested the headset on a different computer, and the headset is fine. Anyway I have a hunch that a new Karajan module would solve the issue so if anybody has any leads on getting ahold of one, or has any laying around let me know. Thanks,

 

John

If you have only had the board for a few months, surely it is still under warranty?

 

Perhaps you could RMA the Karajan module.

 

Failing that, I guess there would be hundreds of streeters with unused Karajans, coz they've replaced then with something better

 

cheers,

ETA: did you try removing and reseating the Karajan?

Yeah, the board is about 5 months old. I haven't checked into warranty because with such a small part I figure if I can get a cheap replacement somewhere I wouldn't worry about RMA/warranty...

ebay?

Actually, I purchased a couple of audio modules, I/O shields and a sli bridge directly from DFI Cali.

 

I actually have an extra audio module and I/O shield because shipping was a flat rate.

 

I was planning on getting a refurb from Newegg but they only ship via FedEx and I live in Hawaii so it's not worth it.

 

I think I still have the address if you're interested or I can sell you my extra one if you want.

 

I'll probably not be on DFI Street for a while since I'm playing around with various boards so e-mail me if you're interested (I believe my e-mail is in my profile).

I'll take an IO shield from you:)

Tried to e-mail you, but it won't let me.
