    That means that is installed with an .msi installer and the shortcut don't go to the directory. You have to manually find the location of your app you want(Most of the time is in \Program Files(x86)\ or \Program Files\), find the main executable and make a shortcut in your desktop.

    The 7800x is a waste of money imo.  The platform is most likely already dead with the release of coffee lake so even in a workstation environment, there are better options like threadripper, even for more money.

    You do not need anything more than what you currently have for gaming and surfing the internet. Even if you had an i5 I wouldn’t recommend you to upgrade.

    Don't bother, use the CPU's integrated HD 630 instead. Or get Ryzen 5 + a 1050Ti

    How exactly do you have the speakers plugged in if you're only using one of the 3.5mm plugs? That doesn't make any sense. You realize your motherboard has separate audio channels, right?

    xIHuNTeRIx reacted to reapzzer in Z906 Cant play 5.1   
    Optical ports dont benefit from better audio capacitors and all that stuff because of one reason- It's fully digitial that means that all the processing happens inside the Z906 all that your PC has to do is put the data through that cable. The issue with the cable is that it doesn't have enough bandwidth to put uncompressed audio in 6 channels (which is 5.1) and it is only capable to put through 2 channels of audio (I don't really know what kind of witchcraft happens with Dolby Atmos and stuff like that but it compresses it in some magical way [definitely not magical I just haven't learned how they do that yet] that you get 5.1 and up). And that's the problem with games because the motherboard has to do a live encoding to the Dolby standard (movies already have it done so the only thing the soundcard has to do with it is to send it through that cable). And this is what DTS Interactive essentialy is. It is a standard of live encoding audio to send it to the receiver (which in this case is the Z906). The problem with that is most manufacturers of motherboards don't include the certificate (because it costs them money and there aren't many people that care about that) and as such DTS Interactive is disabled using software.
     
    There are two solutions to the problem 
    a)Get a different motherboard (basically form what I researched only ASUS Prime/ TUF motherboards have this because the ROG boards don't have it since Maximus VI days [don't quote me on that])
    b)Get the cheapest possible soundcard that specifically has DTS Interactive certificate (you don't need anything fancy because the signal is digital so nothing inside the PC makes it worse and there's no need to overpay for more expensive cards and from what I see the STRIX RAID DLX card doesn't have DTS Interactive)
    c)Modify the drivers - Was able to do that on Windows 7 but wasn't able to do the same on Windows 10 (Don't know wheter win 10 has this fixed or because win 10 has known issues with DTS/Dolby working on some versions and as such the drivers didn't utimately work[ from my experience was able to get the prompts in setting but they didn't work)
     
    Don't worry your motherboard is fine they just don't include the certificate
     
    And finally It is kind of impossible to write about the difference in sound quality but what I can tell is that the speakers are louder the bass is better movies sound richer (just my personal experience)
     
    TL:DR Use analog 3.5mm cables to get 5.1 everywhere, Fiddle with DTS Interactive, realtek drivers, get a DTS Interactive certified soundcard for cheap
     
    In case of more questions ask them and I'll try to answer them as fast and as well as I can
    Hope it helped somewhat
     
    Just in case if looking for a soundcard to buy or a new mobo or smth look for these (in pics)

    Sorry for the delay I had to leave my house
    The easiest way to get 5.1 in everything is through 3.5mm cables. All you need is 3 of them total. You can go to a shop buy 3 regular 3.5mm cables and connect them accordingly and it will all work just fine. Personally I used the optical cable because it gave better sound overall and the speakers needed less power to be as loud as on analog. 
    From what I see with your motherboard the only way to get 5.1 in games is through 3.5mm jacks because this motherboard doesnt support DTS Interactive (Though I know one of my friends was able to mod the driver and unlock this feature and get it working but it was back in the Win 7 days)
     
    In your case your optical port is able to output only preencoded 5.1 stuff (DTS/Dolby movies because the optical cable itselft doesn't have enough bandwidth to push through not compressed 5.1 and windows drops it then automatically to stereo) 
     
    In my experience when I had my old motherboard I connected the speakers both with an optical and 3.5mm and switched between them accordingly (but it was really not that necessary) to get 5.1 in games and better sound quality in movies through SPDIF.

    From what I see your motherboard doesn't support DTS Interactive and that makes it that when you use the optical cable everything will still be stereo except preencoded DTS Dolby stuff (like movies for example)

    You will need to plug in more than one 3.5mm cable, yes. Look up the original packaging, and try to replace the cables it originally came with. 3.5mm cables are really cheap. The only issue might be that your Z906 speakers have soldered cables, don't they?

    xIHuNTeRIx reacted to reapzzer in Z906 Cant play 5.1   
    All the speakers have regular speaker cables that can be easily replaced
     
    And as I said when you plug in one 3.5mm cable the speakers fake 5.1 (all 5 speakers play some kind of sound but ultimately it is still stereo and the audio positioning is basically none)

    xIHuNTeRIx reacted to reapzzer in Z906 Cant play 5.1   
    I own the Z906 and you have to connect all 3.5mm plugs in order to get all 5 speakers to work properly (green is for front black for rear orange for center and sub). If you only connect one the console will most probably change to 3D mode (which is spreading 2 channels to 5 with a mediocre at best result). Also in order to get hardware decoding you have to use one of the optical outputs and that will still only work in movies(that already have audio decoded to Dolby or DTS of some sort). For live encoding you need a motherboard or a soundcard that supports either DTS Interactive DTS Connect or Dolby Digital Live in order to get 5.1 in everything.
     
    Hope that helped somewhat.

    Everything you see on the Desktop is a physical folder in your C: drive, usually located in the folder that holds your profile.
     
    In Windows 7, that's  C:\ Users \ [ username ]  \ Desktop
     
    In Windows 10, the path may be different but it should also have a similar folder.
     
    So if you paste some files on the desktop, they get copied here.
     
    What you can do is to create a "virtual folder" on your desktop, a folder which looks like a regular folder to applications but it's actually just a sort of special shortcut, which redirects everything to another folder.
     
    To create such "virtual folder", you need to download SysInternals Suite from Microsoft , or just the Junction utility from the package, which can be downloaded separately here. 
     
    So all you have to do is extract the files in a folder (for example, D:\Temp\ ), then open a command prompt - from Windows Explorer, the easiest way would to hold down Ctrl and Shift keys and right click on an empty area to the right or below the files inside that folder where you extracted the download, and you'll get an option called "Open command window here".
     
    Now in that command prompt, you can simply type something like this:
     
    junction.exe "C:\Users\[username]\Desktop\VirtualFolder"  "D:\Desktop"
     
    where [username]  is whatever user name you used to log in (just browse your hard drive and go in C:\Users and see what shows up) and VirtualFolder can be whatever you like.
     
    Before you run that, Desktop folder (or whatever you want to call it) on your D: drive must exist, and VirtualFolder folder on your desktop must not exist.
     
    Once you type that and press enter, a folder called "VirtualFolder" will show up on your desktop and if you try to enter it, you'll automatically open D:\Desktop
    If you use Copy on some files, and then right click on the folder and hit Paste, the files will be transferred to that "D:\Desktop" folder
     
    When you want to get rid of the folder, you can simply say
     
    junction.exe -d "c:\Users\[username]\Desktop\VirtualFolder"  and the application will remove the "shortcut" but won't remove "D:\Desktop" from your hard drive.
