Hello, I'm looking for some assistance in overclocking the CPU and RAM on this new build I'm working on for my brother's PC. CPU = AMD Athlon 3000G RAM = Corsair Vengence LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) The motherboard is a MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX Looking for some clear instructions to what I should be setting the stuff to. Thanks.

Alright thanks, if you find anything better or anyone else has anything better let me know.

My budget is able to reach up to $400, if it gives more comfort to allow for more stuff to pack in there let me hear it.

Well uh, let’s just say the SSD is the only good part about his old desktop. It’s a desktop that was mine before I got my gaming laptop. It’s a bit out of its time..

Hello there. Looking for assistance in trying to find the best parts to build a new gaming PC for my little brother. His old PC has essentially kicked the can and he’s in desperate need of a replacement. We’re able to scrap together a budget between $300-$400 CDN. My brother is one of those typical young teens kids who likes to play a lot of lower powered games like Minecraft, ROBLOX, Terraria, and some Fortnite. His old computer has an old 250GB boot SSD from Kingston I put in a year or two ago so I’m able to salvage that for the new PC. However if someone could find a set up where you could fit in a 1TB hard drive for extra storage that’d be great. I’m mostly looking for parts from reliable stores like Amazon and NewEgg (ones that don’t cost much for shipping). The closer to $300 the better without sacrificing too much performance. Thanks.

Okay, @Zmax after toying around with my computer again and stuff I went ahead and updated the DisplayLink drivers for my Wavlink docking station. Bippity boppity boop and it seems to have been the problem this whole time, I've waited about since Sunday to make sure it's fixed and it seems to be. So I'm going to slap myself across the face and thank you guys for your help anyways.

Okay, @Zmax I uninstalled the drivers through task manager and when I restarted the computer, launched up discord, rejoined the VC I was in and immediately robotic voices. Shortly after it goes back to normal. My headset still works and others can hear me. Discord still recognizes Realtek drivers for the speaker on my laptop. But when I go to the start menu to search Realtek it comes up with nothing. So, what now?

Got any advice or ideas of what I should do next?

Okay, I will add onto that after typing the above and then going back to try and watch a YT video the voices in the video I was watching then suddenly go robotic so... UPDATE then I went back again after typing this and it went back to normal so..

Okay @Zmax I got bad news, so I did end up getting a replacement G230 for free from Logitech when I reported the same stuff to them and they were just like "Oh yeah sure, we can send you out a free new one without having to send your old one back" and a couple days later without it happening and its happening again.. so far I've only been hearing the quick duh duh duh duh duh noise during while I'm watching YT, it just happens randomly and after switching between some videos it appears to do it to some audios so not every video. So.. what to do now..?? @Zmax @BlueChinchillaEatingDorito

No we haven't we only tried with airplane on and off. We will play around more with that later today though.

Hey, So, I'm basically the local "IT dude" for my high school and today I encountered a problem with our Octasound Sound System when we were setting up for a pageant in our gymnasium. Basically at some points when an audio is being played from an iPhone through an aux cord there would be the occurrence of loud distortion in the audio through the speakers. After toying with it we found out that it doesn't happen when Airplane mode is on the iphone. I'm curious why this may be happening and I have no idea personally why it is.

You know what I'm starting to believe it is my Logitech G230 headset that is the problem when I switch to my laptop speakers when the audio goes distorted it doesn't do it and as soon as I switch back to my headset the distortion continues..

@Zmax Okay I've done that and I'll let you know if it works or at least improves. **UPDATE: It didn't work.

@Zmax This is all I got for the playback devices, both of them sound choppy at times.

What do you mean?

Okay so it was fine, but if anything its pretty much only improved not 100% solved now, @Zmax So now the only thing it does is some ticking noises in some audios. Like a locomotive idling, I'll hear ticking noises in the engine for example. So now what to do?

No, like I said, it's typically when I'm watching youtube or listening to some music. Typically occurred when I just hit play on a video/song or sometimes when a high pitch occurred on such and sometimes just out of random. I've followed your steps and I'm right now trying to see if it happens again, if it works I'll mark your post as solved.

Hello, The past day I've been having issues with my Realtek HD Audio Drivers. In some instances especially when I'm watching videos or a form of audio has a high pitch the audio becomes a bit distorted and robotic sounding for about 10 to 20 seconds and then doesn't occur until usually 10 minutes later. Originally upon discovering this issue, I thought it was my Logitech G230 headphones or it was caused by my Wavlink Laptop Docking Station which I use to plug into my laptop for my monitors, keyboard, mouse, headset, etc. After further inspection and testing both my headphone and laptop speakers, I discovered it's only really the drivers causing the issues since I could hear the distorted audio on my laptop speakers as well. No matter of tweaking the volume settings could prevent it. So far I've tried, Rebooting the system, reinstalling the drivers completely. Not sure what to do at this point. Laptop: ASUS ROG STRIX GL703V Specs below.

Tried searching up for firmware updates for Aura but I'm not sure which one to use since it all looks like it's for certain devices.

I removed it then reinstalled. Also, I didn't.

Tried it, it didn't seem to work. Aura will still say "Aura has stopped working"

So I just got my new Gaming laptop this past Saturday and I've had a lot of fun with it lately compared to my old ancient potato desktop. So I didn't know that my laptop is apparently Aura RGB compatible for my keyboard so I tried getting Aura on my computer. I installed it and everything but when I go to start it'll say "Aura has stopped working" And it'll keep saying that every time I try to start it. Then I reinstalled it with the directory to C:\ Tried it again but this time it came up with Then said "Aura has stopped working" Help would be appreciated, thanks.

I just got my Xbox One S 500GB (Middle Earth: Shadow of War) from a class graduation party giveaway Friday night and I waited til today (23rd) to get it set up. Currently, it's taking forever to update, as of this article it has shut off once on me and is currently sitting at 39% and has been updating (including the time when it was shut off) for about 3-4 hours now. My internet speed is 160 down / 15 up when wired, it is typically sitting at 50 down, 20 up when wireless in my house. So I'm not sure if it's a wireless connection issue or not. No other devices (other than my phone cus its bad) is having any wireless issues. I will say I did order an ethernet splitter so I can have it on my gaming desk with my potato computer but it won't arrive for a few days. Are Microsoft's servers being flooded 24/7 or is there something I could do to easily resolve this? Thanks.

Okay, but is there a place I can download a legitimate copy of SoundMax compatible for Windows 10 64-bit or compatible with my MB?
