I thought I found a solution which involved going into Sounds and using Stereo Mix, but I didn't have that option. Messed around with the drivers, and got it to display, but then it killed the back aux jack so my speakers didn't work. Spent way too long just to get everything back to working, which ultimately removed that stereo mix option.

Hey all, I'm at a loss here. I used to be able to use Realtek Audio Console to mess around with my speakers and headset, but now I can't launch the app, can't find it in the Microsoft Store, and can't find a way to manually install it to save my life. I'm using a headset that uses the aux jack, and some speakers that use the aux jack in the back of the case. I primarily use this for the PC, but lately my buddy and I have been playing the Nintendo Switch, and I usually throw discord on the second monitor and switch the inputs on the primary monitor to the switch. Downside, is the monitor doesn't have speakers, so I just don't get game volume. I noticed the monitor has an aux jack on it, but I can't use the mic when I do this. I used to be able to have the speakers and headset running at the same time if I used the Realtek Audio Console, but that just gives an RPC service error when I try it (which I haven't tried using in a while, so I'm not sure how long that hasn't been working). My hope was to plug the speakers into the monitor to get game volume, use my headset plugged into the PC as normal for mic, and use Realtek to mix the two so I have Discord and game audio, which I'm not even sure if realtek would've picked up the monitors output, but that was the hope. The current solution would just be to plug the speakers into the monitor for game audio, and use my headset with an earcup off to hear the game and discord... but having a newborn, sometimes game volume blasting through the house is less than ideal. I'm half temped to get some sort of usb mixer, but I thought I'd reach out here to see if I'm just an idiot who's over complicating things. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Assuming it's relevant: Monitor is Gigabyte G32qc Motherboard Asus Z690P

So I took it apart and realized I didn't have the appropriately sized screwdrivers to take it all the way apart. Upon removing the back cover, I did find a screw stuck to the back plate that looked an awful lot like a hard drive screw. Sure enough, 1 drive was missing a screw. Reseated the keyboard plug that I could reach (I assume there's another buried on the other end), turned it on for kicks and giggles, and so far seems good to go. I'm betting on that screw messing things up for me because the keyboard ribbon was nice and snug before I reseated it. So if anyone has this issue in the future, ask them if they're an idiot who swapped drives at some point and lost a screw.. lol. Appreciate the help!

I have not. I was hoping someone might have a fix I hadn't thought of before I went pulling it apart, but I probably should take a look. Worth a shot at this point.

I'm not sure if anyone has experienced any of these issues but my Lenovo Legion Y740 just started acting up today. Some of my keys on the keyboard are doing random things now to include: H – types “+9EGH\P-\” J – Opens chrome settings for some reason U – Acts like F11 and full screens things 6 – types “`s56980=” also tries to reload pages. Was doing something else earlier, so this is a new one. 7 – Acts like F11 F keys are doing some random things too, but I never use them so it may but what they usually do... as I never use any except F11 from time to time, couldn't tell a difference. What I've done. 1. I know my windows updated a few days ago but I have used it many times since the update, so I doubt that's the issues. Did another update today, didn't fix anything. 2. Uninstalled drivers, and reinstalled them. 3. Grabbed updated drivers from Lenovo. 4. Verified all keyboard ease of use options are and were already off. 5. Disabled hotkeys from bios as per a google search recommendation. No idea what to do next. This is a new one for me. Any help would be very much appreciated!

I was using OBS. I can run max settings just fine without it minus ray tracing which I never bothered enabling. If I cap the fps to 60 it records ok, and I've tried 90 fps but when the GPU usage spikes the video gets choppy.

Hey, Bit of an off question. I have a Lenovo legion Y740 with a 2080 maxq and 16gb ram. I've been able to max settings in less demanding games like csgo and record 1080p 60fps but now with the new MW the game maxes my GPU and recordings are choppy. I lowered settings and capped fps and it records fine, but I get motion sick believe it or not. I've read a few things about offloading the recording to another PC using a capture card (which I also have), but I was curious if I wanted to part together a cheap system strictly just to record, what would be the minimum I would need for purely recording and zero gaming on it?

Just an update. Ethan had me on the right track. But I did just locate this little gem and it worked. Figured I'd post in case anyone else ever cares to do so. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/933700/microsoft-does-not-support-changing-the-location-of-the-program-files

I'll go dig around and see what I can find. Thank you

Ahhh. I'll give that a try. It's not really a big deal, but if it works it'd be nice

This may be a stupid question but here goes. I just purchased a new laptop that has a 256GB M.2 and the secondary is a 1TB SSD. Every time I go to install something, it wants to put it on the 256GB drive. Not really a huge deal, but I was wondering if it's possible to set the 1TB as the primary install location for future installs?

I'll give it a look. I've never heard of them.

Lenovo has a legion y740 with a 2080 maxq for $1800. I don't know much about Lenovo other than the tablets we carry at Verizon which are awful. But they're also "budget tablets". I'm thinking about trying it out if I'm not going to find a better bargain. I was hoping I'd get lucky and find an open box or certified refurbished.

Yes I am

I'm in the market for a new gaming laptop. I'd like to stick around 17" display, and if I can swing it, a 2080. I'd like to keep it under $2k USD. I don't care about weight, bulk, portability etc. I'm never far from an outlet so battery doesn't matter to me. I recently posted asking about a Lenovo legion, and realized maybe I should've just asked about general recommendations instead.
