    Ooh I see, I guess a separate account would be the best way. That's at least a decent workaround for now, thank you!

    Indeed, though they're usually referred to as an audio interface. Essential as a bedroom musician because they provide inputs for instruments and microphones, but are also usually better quality than onboard sound.

    Spork829 reacted to Aereldor in Want to treat myself to nice IEMs. $100- Recommendations?   
    Cheers thanks. I'm really reluctant to spend more than $20 on KZs, a lot of chi-fi IEMs tend to ship with the same crappy cable, and I know they can be replaced but that 2-pin system just hasn't worked for me across all the IEMs I've owned. Worst part is the earphones would just fall off the cable, so I had to superglue them in place, defeating the purpose of a replaceable able.

    Spork829 got a reaction from Haro in Is the B550 chipset just software-locked X570?   
    Ah yep, got the new version and it says B550. I ruled this out because I just downloaded HWMonitor, but I suppose they just don't have it fixed yet. So much for my conspiracy theory 😁

    Only HWiNFO and Ryzen Master accurately report values on Zen. HW Monitor and CPU-Z are busted alongside many other applications and still have glitches and random bugs.

    Spork829 reacted to Beerzerker in What's wrong with this board?   
    Yes - I'd go for a reflash to make sure all is OK with it.
    Once done that hopefully will take care of it. If for some reason the flash fails and it indicates a bad sector/block on the chip then it's bad and nothing you can do except replace it.

    There is a guy on fleabay that goes by "BIOS Depot" and you can get a new chip from him, preflashed with the most recent BIOS. You do have to tell him the exact specs of your board and be sure to have all that info available for him.
     
    And...... If your chip isn't removable then it's time to send it off for repair.

    What's wrong with this board? A lot of things. For one, I still don't have an answer on why @Fasauceome hasn't been banned yet, and--oh, wait, you mean your motherboard.
     
    Which ASUS board is it? I've got some recent experience troubleshooting the H81M-C and H81I-PLUS.

    Spork829 reacted to Beerzerker in What's wrong with this board?   
    It's possible to have a partially corrupt BIOS due to a weak CMOS battery in place. It's not been mentioned if the battery has ever been replaced or not so check that and look for voltage of at least 2.9v's or more.
     
    A new battery has 3.0v's so if it's at or below 2.9v's you need to replace it or risk this happening. A weak battery can cause some weird stuff to happen as well, esp upon bootup of the system. 
    You can first, replace the battery and then do a reflash of the board to eliminate this as a possible cause. Only other thing related would be a bad BIOS chip and that's something you'd have to replace period or get the board serviced, depending on if the chip is removeable or not.

    This is like 14th time my VGA cable does this shade. I changed 14 times just because of this shade. Even if I brought it gonna be shade again in few 2 to 3 months. Maybe it's time to change the monitor or buying DVI or HDMI to VGA adapter. By the way thanks for your reply, I'll try wiggling both end in VGA cable.

    I've been playing a ton of Titanfall 2 the past few days, great if you like fast-paced shooters with cool mechanics. It was on sale on Origin for $3! Though unfortunately looks like the sale is over now. Also definitely not a small install (30 or 40 gigs I think) but still worth checking out.

    Yeah, the Core V21 is probably in the lead for me right now, partly because it does have the option to mount the mobo horizontally.

    Maybe try this? From microsoft forums:
     
    If you are installing with USB drive, when it asks for driver, click Cancel. Once you are at the welcome screen, insert the USB drive to a different USB port. Then click Install Now to install. - worked perfect for me.

    Spork829 reacted to The Flying Sloth in Best IEMs for sound quality   
    The big differences to the other monitors I have experience with / am considering for upgrade are the ribbon tweeter, class D amp and rear bass port.... Damnit man you're going to make me do actual research now.
     
    Okay okay, now I have questions.
     
    All the monitors I have experience with are class A/B, aside from the obvious power consumption benefits will the class D change anything noticeable? 
     
    I know a fair bit about how fragile ribbon mics can be, are ribbon tweeters the same? I'm sure they sound great and all but if I have to baby them it might not be the right choice for me.
     
    Rear reflex port is a big one for me, the other upgrades I was considering moved the port to the front as do the higher-end Adam offerings, do you think it's a big deal? My ears are nowhere near as good as yours but muddy bass has been a (minor) challenge with the rear ported current set.

    @Spork829I'm glad you like them! Your impressions are exactly what I expected from KZ:
     
    - A bit too much treble
    - Could use more mids
    - Bass is nice
     
    Yep! You're using a KZ alright.
