    Incredibly weird problem with USB-C dongle

    in Networking

    Posted

    Hi

    So... Recently I changed my PC setup to a thunderbolt setup with my laptop. I use two dongles. One with two DP 1.4 and one with USB, Ethernet, power passthrough and sd card slots. After setting it up everything worked fine up until I disconnected my laptop from the dongle with the ethernet port. After I did that my network stopped working (WIFI and LAN, my Routers LAN ports weren't working anymode so it didn't have a connection to the modem anymore). I found out that this was caused by unplugging the laptop from the dongle but leaving it plugged in to the power outlet. I've tried multiple dongles of the same type and the problem kept happening. If I plug the ethernet cable directly into my modem it works fine and the modem continues working after I unplug my laptop.

    My current theory as to why it happens:
    I believe the dongle receives too much power and transfers it over PoE to the router which my specific router can't handle and it just sits around doing nothing.

     

    My router:

    Netgear R6800

     

    My USB dongle:

    Satechi USB-C Aluminium Multiport Adapter

     

    Does anyone have an idea how I could try to fix it?

    In addition to not knowing how to fix it I have absolutely no idea what keywords to search on google for my problem...

     

     

    Maxwell & Pascal in same System (Mining)

    in Graphics Cards

    Posted

    Hi,

    I recently bought a Pascal GPU for mining, now I'm planing to buy a Maxwell GPU for the same rig. I don't have any experience with that so I wanted to ask if I need to know anything about installing the GPU's before doing so. Can I just install both drivers or do I need to do something a little different? 

    Thx in advance.

    HyperX Cloud 2 CS:GO Surround Sound not working

    in Audio

    Posted

    Hi Guys

    So I just purchased the HyperX Cloud 2 Headset and started to play CS:GO. But in the CS:GO audio options 5.1 doesn't show up. I've enabled surround in sound settings and I've enabled it on my remote for the headset. Can someone help me? (btw. I don't need to know that 5.1 is fake and all that stupid shit)

     

     

    Tinker Board won't load gnome 3

    in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    I recently purchased a tinker board and I got everything to work but gnome. If I try to load Gnome from the lock screen the buttons disappear and nothing happens for about 4 seconds, after that my pointer gets centered and that's it. I've tried to reinstall Gnome, I've even tried to reinstall the OS. Can somebody help me? I'm a Linux noob.

    Thanks in advance.
