    Windows 10 update KB5034441 is still broken, more than a month after release

    Instead of increasing the size of recovery partition, which I could not do, I simply relocated it to C:\Recovery\

    SPDIF to rear panel 3.5 Jack Adapter? Don't buy the ASRock TaiChi if you want 5.1 Audio.

    HDMI Audio outputs a regular uncompressed 2 or 5.1 or 7.1 channels mixed by Windows audio driver. It does not encode anything unless you use Dolby Atmos speaker setup. You may get DTS, or Dolby or AC3 encoded sound from corresponding files (unless the player decodes them into 5.1 etc). By some...

    That download site is pure cancer in Chrome without adblock. Yes, I tried that and got your exact result - viruses, popups, some other trash instead of the intended file.

    I'll join the previous poster... It is you problem. In Firefox with uBlock Origin megaup generates the following download link https://f46.megaup.net/ee27T/AAFSBXFiMB5Setup.exe?download_token=19c53e494f8b0e654abfbbc9827b43fcc2b3010a50b7e6d660c755d0e39792a0 Windows Defender blocks it because it...

    Lemme get this straight.. you're trying to get 5.1 audio out via TOSLINK. Do you an old A/V receiver without HDMI?

    HDMI ARC to DAC for powered speakers

    $700 Emotiva is an interesting choice when a basic $250 A/V receiver can do the same

    for only gaming do i need x670e? or b650e? No bad Assrock

    I don't know whether I should laugh or cry. That's like $300+ wasted on plastic covers while even a mATX B650 board could handle your gear just fine.

    for only gaming do i need x670e? or b650e? No bad Assrock

    As far I as I know there's only one x670e board that has four >=Gen4 PCIe slots and that is Asrock X670E PG Lightning. It has x16 size slots with Gen5 x16, Gen4 x4, Gen4 x1 (from chipset) and x1 size slot with Gen4 x1 (chipset) which is useless as it is too close to GPU and would block its fans...

    Well, this is a silly discussion. For DDR4 Samsung b-die was all the rage, for DDR5 is Samsung chips are meh and Hynix takes the crown. Ten years ago Asrock boards were very budget, now for AM5 they are one of the best. As for X670E, 99% of people do not need those overpriced boards. B650 ATX...

    Receiver used for PC is dieing. Need a replacement solution.

    5.1 output from a sound card to the receiver via optical can only be done using compressed encoding like DDL or DTS. HDMI Audio is a full uncompressed output without any analog distortions. What you may lose is the audio 'enhancements' done by Creative software, but that's been outdated for like...

    Receiver used for PC is dieing. Need a replacement solution.

    What is asked is a silly thing. HDMI Audio thru a video card results in a 2nd monitor. So there are options to deal with that 1) Duplicate it with the primary display. Would not be good as the refresh rate is limited by what the receiver can do, usually 60Hz. 2) Get a second monitor for...

    You don't really need a sound card for HDMI audio output.
