Thank you for explaining, and thank you for the answer for my bonus question, it seems like the thing I was after I will be sure to try out both!

I tried all troubleshooting from the post. I tried several different drivers, I tried switching jacksticks on the motherboard - everything I can think of. I can't get it working. However, on my main PC... I just tooled around for 5-10 minutes and it worked - not really sure what did it, tried going back to the other PC to recreate it, but no luck. I am not sure what setting it to stereo would accomplish (though I tried) I am trying to get surround sound to work, that guy only had a 2.1 system, where the sub decided to chime in on stereo. There are some solutions here I am not sure how to go about trying... "Setting speakers to small" has been mentioned a few times, I have no idea how I would go about that. I feel like I have been in all audio settings I can find, several different in windows, and the drivers (realtek audio console) and nowhere have I found a setting for speaksize.

Budget (including currency): The less the better, but I will get what is needed I have a projector (benq w1070), and a screen, and that is pretty much what is set in stone so far. I have a Logitech z5500 5.1 sorround system I was planing to use for sound, as it was just collecting dust in a box anyway, and it is quite decent. But what to do besides that? I have planed to build a NAS using unraid with old hardware and some new harddisks, and it was my plan to have it run a Plex server too. It is my understanding that I can't use the unraid machine as a plex client at the time, unless maybe with the use of hosting a VM on it. Options I have considered, and the problems I see (don't hesitate to suggest something I did not think of) 1. I have a raspberry pi 3 I never used, and I thought it could make a good little plex client, but it only has a HDMI cable, so I don't know how I would get the sound to the speakers, as they do not have any HDMI, and as far as I can see, I can't connect them directly to the projector (I might have imagined that to be the obvious solution at some point) 2. I have an old PS3, that would be perfect if not for the fact it has no support, and therefor is no more than a glorified bluray player at this point (It could still be incorporated into the setup with this purpose, I would like the option of playing physical media like bluerays and DVD 2.5 Getting a PS5 instead, the disc version, using it as a media player more than a gaming console, but with the added benefit, I could play on it, I am "PC master race" but things like racing games is quite suited for console - but it cost money, that is ok, but I'd rather not spend money, or spend less, if possible 3. Bluray player, if it could also serve as plex client and other "smart tv" stuff... I am not sure if that is something that exists though? 4. Building some kind of HTPC, but I am running out of old hardware, so would need at least an am4 motherboard, a ssd and some ram. (how is this option compared to a PS5?) 5. An other sound system, but I fear that would get expensive quick, and with the risk of maybe still having some of the problems I have now? 6. That completely obvious thing I just can't get up with, but you point out and make me feel dumb for not realizing myself (I can hope)

I have a set of Logitech z-5500, I have not used them for years. Now I wanted to use them for a home theater setup I am working on. I am no big audiophile, and figure they will do more than adequate for a while. When I test them in windows, I get sound from all 5 speakers, but it is completely silent when it is supposed to play from the sub. On the remote for the speaker set, there is a test button, and sub works fine here - so I am guessing it is some kind of software problem? I have gotten drivers from the motherboard page, I also tried getting some directly from realtek, as it is z170 board with an i5 6600, so not the newest. but no luck. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong, or what I can try? bonus question: Since YT don't support sorround anymore, is there anywhere I can go to download a video or program or even just audio file that test all the speakers? Not some "experience" but just something where it sends to each speaker individually, like it does in the driver.

I was thinking Linux, and that is what kind of scares me, because as I said, I never tried it. So I have one vote for Unraid so far... Do people agree that is the best route?

Budget (including currency): na Country: DK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: NAS and mediaserver (plex?) for starters, but might add more later Other details i5 6600 16gb ram I am pretty good with all the hardware, and windows. But I never touched Linux or set up a server. Is there some good setup guides? The closer to "for dummies" the better. I do have some more "personal" questions about my project Is 16gb enough? Is no GPU ok? (I have an older AMD, but its my understanding it isn't really needed?) I have a 4 and 6tb "old" disks, and then I probably buy some more, will different disks be a problem? Can I add more later? (I would like to just start with that, and do a test setup, and then get the extra disks when I have an idea about what I am doing) What kind of raid should I use? (Enough so a disk can die without I am getting in too much trouble) (I also have a 320gb drive I plan to use for system, as I understood it was best for a separate for this) I know there is stuff like jellyfin, but plex has apps on almost anything, and unless there is really good reasons for something else, I plan to use that, just for the more "plug and play" aspect of it. tldr, most important, where do I find some good guides I can follow step by step to get this project off the ground?

So, no ideas? Guess I just have to spend even more money and get a new monitor!?

Hello, I have just upgraded my computer, and I have gotten the most strange bug ever - maybe one of you have an idea to what is going wrong here. Ryzen 3700X Asus TUF gaming X570 plus 5700XT powercolor Red devil Monitor: Samsung s27a950d On my old system, I never used displayport. So the problem is. I boot up, I get the all clear beep from post, then I get VGA dail beep (one long two short) and the troubleshoot led for VGA glows on motherboard. I DO get into windows however, and everything seems to work, I get good scores in benchmark. Some times I get into windows with no bug, and I get the same scores. Most of the time I can use the computer just fine, even after the bug, but it do black screen from time to time. Trouble shooting that I remember I have done: reseated ram and GPU Changed RAM Bought new display port cable (I have tried 3 brand new ones now) Updated Bios fresh install of windows (for a short while I thought that worked, but the bug returned) Updated all drivers In the end I realised that my new great GPU was faulty, even though it was the same on ALL the display ports. So I took it out and put in my old one. But here is the kicker. I still got the bug. I had then noticed that when I got black screen in windows from the bug, my old monitor I used as second monitor seemed to keep working. It was running HDMI. So I tried hooking up the monitor with HDMI - no more bug. I visited my parents, stole my mom monitor (she got mine instead, we just swapped for testing) and her monitor works fine too - WITH display port cable... So I am left with the conclusion that somehow my monitor triggers a bug on my computer - but only when its running on display port... (Can it have something to do with the higher refreshrate? 120hz compared to 60 that it runs on HDMI, and that my moms monitor runs) Please I need some input to this very strange and puzzeling bug!

And of course, as the bad human I am, I forgot all about this when it started working! It was a problem with PSU! How exactly, I am not sure. I had an older Antec case that came with 2 PSU in it, they were linked together so they worked as one, and I had a couple of computers run in it with no problems what so ever. But after testing all my hardware, ram, cpu, gpu and so on in other computers, and getting my board back telling me that nothing was wrong. it was more or less the only thing I didn't try. And as soon as I put another PSU on it, it worked. Why the other setup did not work, I do not understand, as it still runs my old computer, but at least I found a solution,

OK! So I think maybe its a problem with the logitech gameing software! I tried turning off so it doesn't boot with windows, and so far it has worked, but it can still happen The problem just is then, I cant no longer change my DPI and refresh of the mouse. So I have this 8k DPI monster and I use 2k at most, and 1000hz refresh but can only 500! So is there anyway I can change on theese settings, without haveing to use the buggy gameing software! Also, why is this suddenl a problem in win 10 when it NEVER was in win 7?

Did I not explain the problem good enough? Or am I the only one in the world with this problem? Please if someone have an idea how to fix this, so my mouse sensitivity stay the same at all times! ty in advance!

Hey! I upgraded my computer, and after doing that, I upgraded to windows 10 aswell. I suspect this is a software failure, but I do have new motherboard too. I have a Logitech G500s gaming mouse, when I start up windows, the sensitivty is very low on it, then when windows is all done loading it goes up and get a lot higher. If this was the only problem I could live with it, but I play CoD Black Ops 3, and from time to time, totally random in the middle of a game my sensitivity is changed so its very low, the only fix I have found is to either change the sensitivity ingame, or quit, both is a pain I use the "no mouse acceleration fix" too Does anyone have some input into what could be wrong here and how to fix it, because it really starting to annoy me, and I cant find anything on google If you want more info on hardware or software just ask.

I tried clearing CMOS, and it didn't help either. I will send it in to them and wait their judgement. It isnt the same board, as they were nice enough to let me order a new one with the promise of reimbursing me, if the first one was really defective. I have also tried with graphics card, same problem. ty for the inputs, but as ProKon says, I feel like I have tried all troubleshooting already, so nothing to do than send it back, and curse myself for not using my normal dealer, but one so far away I cant just drive there, but have to wait for postoffice and so on. I will post an update when I hear from them if anyone is interested. thx for the help once again.

Yeah

I have tried turning it on by shorting pins too, but that really isnt the issue And I am not going direct to gigabyte, just my retailer, thats how it works in denmark anyway I was pretty sure it was dead too, but I hoped something new had happened I didnt think of, since my old computer is 5 years old, and a lot can happen in that time I remember once sitting with a dead computer that wouldn't boot for hours before realising you had to connect the CPU fan to the right pins on the motherboard, stuff like that But ty for the replies anyway, and if someone think "did he do this or that" dont hesitate to assume I am stupid - It might seem so obvious, no one thinks of it The thing that bugs me is that I get 2 motherboards, that both has this problem. thats whats makes me think, I cant be this unlucky, something else is at play here!
