Hello, I am looking to overhaul my live streaming setup in the audio department. The current issues I am running into are a desync in audio that I myself am hearing on my end when playing Rhythm Games. The audio is coming out later than the visual on the screen, thus the desync. The believed issue is the use of the software voicemeter potato. My current setup: Hardware -Logitech z625 Speakers -Seinheiser HD558 -Blue Yeti usb microphone (has audio monitoring port) -Stream Deck (Mute/Unmute Mic Inputs on OBS) Software -Windows 10 (Distributing Application to different cables) -Voicemeter Potato -Virtual Cable PC Setup (Probably Irrelevant) Motherboard: Aorus Master z390 Processor: i9-9900k ~5GHz Graphics: RTX 3080 Gundam Edition RAM: 64 GB DDR4 3200mhz AIO: Corsair H100i Platinum SE PSU: RM 850 Gold Case: Corsair 220T Airflow The System: Currently have everything routed through Voicemeter potato. -Mic -Mic without RTX -Cable D (For enabling Discord Audio on Stream) -Cable C (For Background Music on Stream) -Cable A (For All Application Audio allowed on Stream) The Main Speaker runs through VoiceMeeter Input (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter VAIO) which then all applications and cables run through that to output to me. The Mic, Mic w/o RTX, Cable D runs through seperate Input Channels <VoiceMeeter Output (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter VAIO), VoiceMeeter Aux Output (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter Aux VAIO), VoiceMeeter VAIO3 Output (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter VAIO3)> so I can enable them/disable them at will. The Buffering is set to default for all 3 (MME, WDM, KS) and they are split evenly with the applications and cables. I understand that this is very convoluted and could probably be more simplified. I have looked into hardware mixers like the Rodecaster pro but those are also prone to audio delay. My thoughts on a solution would be Hardware that have dedicated monitoring ports where I can listen to everything that happens realtime, while mirroring the audio to a mixer (sw/hw) and having control of when I want to enable stream to hear it (latency on this part is not as crucial as it is when I am listening/playing). Can Windows mirror audio to multiple outputs (eg. Main Speaker + Virtual Cable) Any suggestions on hardware/software and wiring/routing solutions that can resolve this issue?

Just wanted to throw this in here for further discussion Do you think it is still worth staying with PIA if you are currently using their service?

So I have recently acquired 3 HP OMEN 27" Monitors Key Tech Specs: - 27" Display TN Panel 1440p - GSYNC 144hz (overclockable to 165hz) 2 of them have a cracked panel and earlier today, I dropped the last one. All 3 of them are fully functional internally but the panel itself is cracked. What is the best options to do with these monitors? Some Ideas consists of: - Finding panel replacements - Harvesting the G-Sync Module Searching for some panel replacements, I couldn't really find anything for 27" sizes.

So I decided to build a multipurpose htpc with slightly more extravagant parts and realized that my motherboard won't support the cpu until the bios is flashed. Parts: Case: Fractal Node 202 PSU: Fractal Integra 450 Mobo: MSI H81i CPU: i5-4590 3.2ghz RAM: Kingston 8GB SSD: Intel 256GB GPU: HD 7870 (reused from my old rig) Any solutions or methods other than buying another cpu just to flash the bios? If not, what would be the cheapest cpu on the market?

Are there any possible scraping methods for overwritten files? (even if it means damaging/destroying the HDD)

Recently, my NAS has been hit with a ransomware (.arena), land all the files were overwritten with encrypted files. -Snapshots of the NAS don't exist. -NAS is a qnap. -Hard drive is mirrored for redundancy I've been looking for a method to recover overwritten files (if possible). I know there are ways to scrape data of deleted files, but is there any methods in recovering overwritten files?

@LinusTech I would love to see a Touch screen monitor review. I am currently looking for the perfect Touch Screen monitor with these specifications: 10 Point Touch Fast Response Time (Latency) Accuracy (Finger Recognition) Native Windows Touch Input Preferred 22~32" Screen size with 1080p resolution Some Panels That were recommended to be the best would be Dell's P2314T or S2240T But would there be something even better along the lines? Would be awesome if a review on touch screen monitors, comparing their specs/costs/performances could be done.
