Until recently, there was adiscernable "click" when my headphones were plugged. The microphone and the line in connections still have this "click." I already tried to resolve any sort of driver issue, as well as read up on how this all works and everything I read indicated the mechanism was...

Thanks for the advice. I went and found a low price USB sound card that should work well enough.

Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 6920 that recently had its warranty expire. Naturally, as soon as that happened one of the components decided to break. Whenever I plug in headphones, I am able to get audio out of the headphones but the relay to short the speakers isn't kicking in. Basically...

Thanks for the info. As far as my monitor goes, I've currently got a 19" wide screen LCD that outputs at 1440x900. I'll probably buy a 24" LCD whenever I find one on a good deal, but as of this time, it's no rush. My MO is typically to build a rig and basically run it into the ground...

Hello all, It's been about 4 since I've actively followed the hardware market, so I'm not totally up to date on what's out, and was wondering what I should get. I'm looking to spend less than $2,000, and preferably below $1,500 for a swanky rig. I'm not big on overclocking out of the gate...

They have the best customer support I've ever seen. I've only had to call them up once, when my Cordless MX 700 Duo keyboard mouse set starting having issues after a few years. Basically, the contacts wore out and the mouse wouldn't charge properly anymore. Not really their fault, it's the...

Hello all, It's been several years since I have been able to actively track hardware development, so I had a few questions I thought I'd ask before I made any radical pc building decisions. First off, is it a good time to build/buy a new computer? New technology comes out quite...
