@The Creator No no I just stated I'm not experiencing what your experiencing. You definitely have an issue somewhere.
I use spdif to my old Z-5500 so nothing complicated.
You're right tho the Radeon Software will record multi channel, just tested in 7.1 mode on my headset.
I have MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus, with MSI 6800XT Trio. Every 10 minutes, computer will go black screen, and reset. Going to game, instant crash and quit. Radeon software will say "Default Radeon WattMan Settings have been restored due to unexpected system failure."
A few games I am playing GTAV, World of Tanks, Watch Dog 1.
All instant crash.
Then I switched back to 20.11.2, thing are being better, at lease, the 10 minutes black screen is no longer, but gaming is still no hope.
I used PassMark to test on graphic. 2D Pass, 3D Pass except GPU Compute (OpenCL ) has error and test stop.
MSI Community has a lot of discussion about that. All crying for the same problem. We tried update vBIOS. Some shows improvement, a large amount is still suffering the same problem.

Many of us has clean install already, still no luck. As usual, nothing constructive from MSI.
This most certainly reads like a power delivery issue. As what is highlighted in bold/underline is a direct result of it.
As already suggested you either need a 750Watt or better PSU (Gold or higher rating IMO). Also, check to make sure you are using 2 separate pcie cables for each connection.
As AMD has a tendency to mess with power delivery from one driver to the next. IE: VRam Timings, etc but don't include that bit of information in the release notes.
Right now, for whatever reason, memory clock rates are 6Mhz lower then default for me. No matter what I set it to it will always be 6Mhz lower. And it's been that way since December 2020. Because of that bug is why I can confirm they do it.
Edit:
Another thing...I never, ever, not even once consider MSI AMD cards. For whatever reason I've read issues with that brand.
Edit 2 From the link:
I am using a 650w power supply.. but it didnt shut down dont guess is this problem
i have taken to local store. Tested OCCT,games with multiple 1080p 1440p monitor, no issues.
this drives me mad. I bought a new 8k dp cable. I have no idea why the problem does not occur at my local store”s test benchhttps://imgur.com/a/c2zcAQ6
LoooL,
Let me guess:
The local store isn't using a 650watt psu?
They have better power delivery at the wall socket?
They are using 2 separate pcie cables for the the video card?
They have a better HDMI/DP Cable? Or, simply provide better connectivity?
Reasons?

FYI: Not everything is a AMD driver problem. Somethings? Sure but not all the things.
Yup.
650W is not enough here. 750W is bare minimum. 850W rather recommended, gold rated.
Radeon cards(and new 3x00 nvidias too) tends to spike wattage way above official specs. Like 3090 can spike 500W+ on default. Watch any 6800/6800xt review where reviewer actually took time and measured in game/system power usage and 6800xt can spike 350W? While average power consumption(card only) while gaming is 294W+ for non reference cards.

Yup, since AMD has already addressed the BS issue now a days it's usually 1 of 3 reasons why the issue is still occurring:
1. Power Delivery issue: Be it the PSU, power at the wall socket, or use of a defective power strip. Or, the user isn't using 2 separate PCIe connectors.
2. The card itself: Be it that it needs a new bios, circuitry issue or the actually HDMI/DP connectors are faulty
3. The cable used is defective which requires replacement.
IMO, the above is more likely the culprit to that condition then just blaming drivers out right. As I've not found any "mega" threads complaining of that issue with the 6000 series.
But since that user took it back to the store and stated he had no problems indicates that under the correct conditions the PC works fine. Therefore, his 'Home Environment' isn't the "correct conditions". 😉
You're right tho the Radeon Software will record multi channel, just tested in 7.1 mode on my headset.
It's getting weirder and weirder. o_O
Just because I saw 7.1 speaker configuration on your system, I decide to change my configuration from 5.1 to 7.1. And guess what! Everything works fine! 😕
No problem with 7.1 configuration. I changed it back to 5.1 and I can't record anymore (with the default settings)
As I mentioned before - no problem to record 5.1 if I change "Separate Microphone track" from Disabled (default) to Enabled even I don't want to record the mic at all.
So definitely it's a bug in AMD drivers. At least they should report an error.
I'm curious to see what will happen to your system if you change your 7.1 speaker configurations to 5.1. Can you make a quick test to record 5.1 if it's possible, please?
P.S. I just found this: Using 5.1 Surround Disables Adrenaline 2020 Recording
To me, that means that AMD is not going to fix it soon. 🙁
can you guys believe that i cant use any other driver besides 20.04.2?
if i use any other drivers (adrenalin or pro) in some games my GPU doesnt go to 100% and i have a lot of fps drop.
I have a Vega 56 Nitro+ and this happened to me in 2 games: Ori and the will of the wisps and now in Tomb Raider (2013).
in a lot of areas in the game i had fps drops and the gpu not beeing full utilized, like 60 fps and my gpu on 70% of usage.
on Tomb Raider 2013 this happened in 21.1.1 and also on Pro 20.Q3 (tho in PRO i had 20 more fps in the area but gpu on 70% usage also)
on Ori this happened with a driver from december or november 2020 (cant remember exactly version) and my fps in almost whole game was not as high as it should be and in some areas fps drops to 50-60 and gpu utilization on 60%-70% also.
When i rolled back to 20.04.2 in both games the GPU goes to 100% usage and my fps goes to as high as it should be
but now i ask: WHY?
Will i ever be able to upgrade my drivers, since in 20.4.2 is the only driver i can get my GPU to work as it should?

Do you sign in to win10 via Microsoft account? In other words you can't fully login unless you have an active internet connection?
Many people were reporting black screen issues with RX5xxx navi cards, reason was the same: people who were having these issues had not powerful enough and/or pretty old PSUs. Reviewers who most of them have high wattage and high efficiency PSUs were unable to reproduce black screen issues as their PSUs were more than capable. For example hardware unboxed youtube channel guys were trying to reproduce the problem and they were unable to do that as they are using very high quality PSUs.
Users were blaming amd driver (because of myth of amd drivers being "bad") while problem lies on too weak or too old PSUs.
Disagree. The drivers were the cause of the issue back in 2019.
Do you sign in to win10 via Microsoft account? In other words you can't fully login unless you have an active internet connection?
i think i am logged on w10 with my microsoft account yes
but about the login part, i dont know exactly
when i restart the pc to get into secure mode (without internet connection) i can login with my PIN with no problems
but i think i am logged in windows with my microsoft account, as i can see my outlook profile picture when i click on the start menu.
why exactly you asking this? is there a problem with this and the recent drivers?

I suggest you do the following:
1. Uninstall drivers
2. Reboot
3. Reboot into Safe Mode and use DDU (enable feature to disable driver updates).
4. Reboot to desktop
5. Change your Microsoft account to a local account (this may disable any updates or cloud uploads you have setup):
In Start , select Settings > Accounts > Your info.
Select Sign in with a local account instead. You should be able to create a PW.
5. Install latest drivers. Reboot as needed.
Just to inform any1 intrested in z390/490 and BAR functionality.
Can confirm findings from tomshardware, ie I see boost in RDR2 and Forza Horizon 4 (do not own and do not wanna other games tested there).
So, Bar disabled Forza Horizon has in built in benchmark, ultra, mssa 2x(I think this is default for this game) 6800xt@2400Mhz FPS:
Min -226.4, average 260.8, max 328.8
Bar on:
262.9, 301.9, 372.8
Similar story with RDR2:
36, 122.8, 164.4 versus 80(or83), 131, 176
Z390 gaming edge ac, 8086k@5.1Ghz@1.32V and 4*8Gb Teamgroup 3200c14@3800 15-15-15-33 (was using g.skill 2*16Gb 3800c14, results was the same +/- 0.5%)
So yeah, when it works it works. I am not concerned about eventual 1-2% performance degrade in some titles. It is almost in margin of error, or would have same result with BAR off with say 3200c14-3600c15 ddr4.

you think this should fix the prolem with recent drivers not using all % of the GPU sometimes?
ok i will try that
Well, my PSU is a shamefully old OCZ ZX 1200W. 10 years old now.
Therefore, I prepare a new Corsair RM850x.
One thing this happens:
The MSI 6800XT has 4 Ports (1 HDMI and 3 DP). My monitors are two x 10 years old with HDMI port only. So I have both monitors connect through DP with a DP>HDMI adaptor (active) via old HDMI cables.
When both monitors plugged in, when launch a game, it crashed.
When connect both monitors through DP and HDMI, it crashed.
When connect only 1 monitor through DP (with adaptor), it crashed.
When connect only 1 monitor through HDMI (with old cable), it crashed.
The fun part begin:
When connect both monitors through DPs with HDMI 2.1 cables with adaptors, it's OK!
When connect both monitor through DP and HDMI with 2.1 cables, it crashed
When connect only 1 monitor through DP (with adaptor via HDMI 2.1 cable), it's ok!
When connect only 1 monitor through HDMI (with HDMI 2.1 cable), it's ok.!
Notice: I am using NimZ's driver
Wait...what? Talk about dropping a bombshell. 😱
Never heard of Nimz drivers before either. Why would you do this?
I only know of the 1250 watt ZX. The 1200 watt was from PC Power and Cooling variant which was module. (LOL PC P&C was completely against module PSUs back then). Never heard of the 1200watt ZX though. But I recall the company OCZ. It was bought by another company, don't recall right now. But they had some decent DDR2/DDR3 memory back in the day. But then they started to diversify into the psu, etc. I think that was after they were bought out. But I don't recall "good things" about OCZ beyond it's DDR2/3 ram. As a matter of fact I recall people avoiding OCZ just before the brand went poof!!!
I didn't read good things about that PSU back then. Everything from ripple problems to transient load problems. Overall the PSU worked though.
But you didn't say why you are using modded drivers? Why haven't you tried to installing the original drivers to see if that would fix your problem?

Did you install the new VBIOS provided by MSI? It seems to have sorted out the vast majority of people's black screen issues if we can go by the reports from people on their forums. I have an MSI 6800 XT Gaming X Trio, am on the new VBIOS, and only getr a black screen in one specific senario with these drivers (Forza 4 Horizon on my HDTV HDMI @ 4K 120hz) while everything else seems to be 100% stable with a nice overclock running.
Read through this thread here.
@The Creator with my old Z-5500 via optical needs Dolby Digital which isn't supported (outputs stereo), don't have line out cables for analogue to test that way which would be best case
My headset only does stereo and 7.1 in sound properties.
I suggest you do the following:
1. Uninstall drivers
2. Reboot
3. Reboot into Safe Mode and use DDU (enable feature to disable driver updates).
4. Reboot to desktop
5. Change your Microsoft account to a local account (this may disable any updates or cloud uploads you have setup):

Did all that. 0 changes...
only good driver is 20.4.2 still
"Tier 1 test" from 3DMark fails on its second pass with VRS On. "Tier 2 test" works fine - both passes. Anyone else with this problem?
