  1. Well, to be honest, doing anything with that optical audio port is difficult. There are some converters like this Insignia Optical/Coaxial to RCA adapter, but I can't guarantee quality on something like this. The Xbox One also doesn't support a USB DAC so that's out of the question. Another good way to do this is to output the audio to your TV with HDMI, and then from there send it to the computer or mixer. The problem is that the Xbox One only supports digital audio out, and we need it in analogue. As far as mixers go, I'm not the one to talk to. I've gotten my rear-end roasted more than once here. You want to be careful about it if you do go looking for stuff though. It tends to get mighty expensive. I do know that if there are mixers that use S/PDIF (optical) inputs, and I didn't see any, they would be quite expensive. I don't know if I read it correctly, so you can ignore this if it doesn't apply. If your headphones have an optical audio jack that makes things harder. Since mixing these inputs with a stand-alone mixer requires that we have the audio in analogue format, we have to get yet another adapter to take it from analogue back to digital. In this case, the audio delay from all that conversion makes it pointless to spend all that money. Also, if your headset is optical based, then you will need to devise another way to connect the microphone back to the console. In this case it may be more cost effective to acquire a new headset with separate 3.5mm plugs for microphone and stereo, and using some clever wiring with one of these guys.
  2. The easiest way to do this would probably to pass the audio from the Xbox through the PC and from there into the headphones. You can plug it into the line-in/microphone jack on the computer, right click on the sound icon in the task bar tray, click on "Recording Devices", find the line-in device that corresponds to the jack you plugged the Xbox into, right click on that, go to properties, go to the "listen" tab, and enable "Listen To This Device." Be aware that this will create a very very small delay in the audio for your Xbox. It's hardly noticeable, and you get used to it very quickly. If the delay is too much for you to handle, you will need to invest in a small audio mixer. There's some really cheap ones out there such as the Behringer MicroMix MX400, but typically you may need to get either new cables or an adaptor. This mixer has 1/4" jacks. http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-MX400-BEHRINGER-MICROMIX/dp/B000KGYAYQ
  3. I'm on it. I was hoping to avoid fiddling with voltages and such. I did just learn that the board is applying a "15%" overclock, however. I'll turn that off and go from there.
  4. I didn't actually set that. How would I go about limiting it rather than making it a static value?
  5. After having watched Linus's build logs so many times, I applied slightly more than the volume of a grain of rice.
  6. I bought myself a new computer a few weeks ago, and I just now noticed that, when stress testing, the CPU skyrockets from 24C to about 60C to 70C within the one second interval for temputature polling in both Aida64 and NZXT's CAM software. It has me stumped and a bit perturbed. The GPU is a hybrid card that, in theory, keeps excess heat from releasing into the case, but it's not even running during a CPU stress test. I'm using Tuniq TX-4 thermal paste which should be very high quality, and I've already checked the seating of the cooler. Nothing wrong to report there. Any ideas? It seems that while folding the liquid temperature never rises above 44C well over an hour into a WU. System specs: Screenshot
  7. Have you ever seen or heard of the online curriculum called Edhesive? It's poorly made, in my opinion, but all you learn is Java and the program they use to test code is for Java only. I was stating that since I am well versed in some other languages that I was using those experiences to figure out ways to solve problems without extensively googling how to use "Math.max()" for example. Sorry for the misunderstanding. The IDE they have installed on the computers there at the school is something called Dr Java. It's so basic and awful at formatting that I tired to have them install Notepad++, but the IT guys at the school refuse to do it because the course says to use Dr Java for some reason. I'll have to try some of these out. Definitely the remote access one. Maybe for once I can get around Lightspeed Systems and go on 9gag or something to waste my day away. Thank you, sir!
  8. Well, that tells me that I should stop using Browxy.com as a compiler. I was too lazy to try and find something else. I can't install anything on the school computer so I was only looking for in browser IDEs. Surprisingly there aren't very many for Java from what I've seen. I swear though, I've written this same code 4 or 5 times over. I don't know what I changed that now it works. I was judging it mostly with the course's program checker which discretely runs tests and only tells me what percentage of the test cases pass. Before I was only getting 87% or so. I'll try and find an older copy I have saved somewhere and compare them. Thanks for the sanity check though.
  9. I've added a few test cases including those that were included with the instructions as examples. I have tried printing out certain variables all throughout the code, and sometimes it's correct and sometimes the variable "tweet" prints a single space.
  10. I'm having some issues with a project for school. We're supposed to be learning incredibly simple things with Java, but since the program they use to check the code only checks the outputs I decided to sacrifice some of the incredible lead I have versus the other students in the class. I tried to do something using my knowledge of other languages and Google as a resource, and now I've backed myself into a hole here. Here's the instructions for the activity: The code I've written doesn't always work. With certain strings it will be just fine. Also, I can't see why the 140 character limit never seems to work. I've been stumped over this for 4 hours now and my Googling skills have failed me. D: import java.util.*;import java.lang.*;import java.io.*;class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { int hash = 0, att = 0, link = 0; Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Please enter a tweet: "); String tweet = s.nextLine(); if (tweet.length() <= 140) { System.out.println("Length Correct"); String lo = tweet.toLowerCase(); String[] words = lo.split(" "); for (int x = 0; x < words.length; x++) { if (words[x].length() > 1 && words[x].startsWith("#")) { hash++; } if (words[x].length() > 1 && words[x].startsWith("@")) { att++; } if (words[x].length() > 1 && words[x].startsWith("http://")) { link++; } } System.out.println("Number of Hashtags: " + hash + "\nNumber of Attributions: " + att + "\nNumber of Links: " + link); } else { System.out.println("Excess Characters: " + (tweet.length() - 140)); } }} Test cases that fail: Test cases that pass:
  11. Thanks, I took a look over here and I can confirm that the 1st and 3rd DIMM slots are just downright broken, but that's fine. Today, I got in a new graphics card I ordered for cheap, a PNY 550 TI, and somehow this fixed my video problems. I'm not sure why since the other two cards I used work in other computers. The fact is that is works now.
  12. A few months ago I got an XPS 400 off of a friend of mine as well as some memory, a hard drive with Windows 8 installed, and a GT 610 to use with it. Somewhere down the line I was supplied with the slightly better Quadro FX 3700. Recently, I purchased a bunch of computer parts from someone on Craigslist including an Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard and a Core 2 Quad Q9400 to go with it. I took a few parts from my Dell and went to put them inside this new case and it seems I carelessly fried the motherboard. After that, I decided I could tough it out for a few months using my Dell the way it was while I earn more money. Sadly, it seems that the XPS 400 took a turn for the worse in the day or so that I haven't used it. After hours of trying different things such as new memory and checking the DIMM slots individually I still couldn't get the darned thing to POST. I even tested my power supplies and used whatever instructions I could find to check voltages on the board itself. No luck, they were all working normally. I finally got it to POST this afternoon with memory only in the 2nd and 4th DIMM slots, a Pentium D 820, brand new thermal grease, and a borrowed video card. I borrowed a Geforce 8400 GS from a friend to help with troubleshooting. After finally getting it to POST I realized that there wasn't any video output to the monitor, but I had definitely heard the two short beeps that indicated a failed test. Typically, I would get one because I had removed the original CPU fan due to it's incredibly excessive noise level. I can't tell what it does say because there is no video output. I can, however, navigate the BIOS settings from memory. All the peripherals have successfully connected minus the monitor, but the error lights 1, 2, and 3 appear on the front of the case. I can't be sure what this means. I've tried searching everywhere I could and couldn't find an answer to my problem. Can you guys help? Dell XPS 400 containing: Pentium D 820 non-original Corsair fan for CPU Quadro FX 3700 or 8400 GS 2x2GB of Nanya NT2GT64U8HD0BY-AD DDR2 memory Western Digital WD3200BEKX everything else is original TL;DR Error lights 1, 2, and 3 are on after POST with no video output but access to BIOS settings. Two memory slots are malfunctioning.
  13. I truly prefer a full sized keyboard, but in the situation I have at the moment I'm in need of a 10-key-less or smaller because of limited desk space. To be honest, anything is better than this crappy Logitech K120. I'm just too broke to get anything better.
