Usually when switching between limited and full I have to adjust brightness to get black as black as possible. For example, I can put brightness higher on full before it starts washing out blacks. The same brightness setting on limited will make everything very washed out, and so I have to lower...
I had a single drive shipped to me in a bubble envelope... but the drive was already in a box with a plastic cage, and the cage was slightly out of shape when it arrived. This drive was shipped from Pennsylvania.
Can your TV output or passthrough 5.1? I was under the impression that HDTVs can only output 2.0 out of optical.
If you go with a DAC (optical to analog), you still need a method to control the volume, such as a headphone amp with a volume control. You'll blast your ears otherwise.
If...
Could you list the bitrates of your files? Compare a CD to FLAC (or CD to WAV to FLAC) file with your WMA-L to FLAC file if there are any size/bitrate differences. Both the FLAC files should have a similar bitrate. Use foobar to compare the bitrate, not your portable players.
I played around with the new retina MBPs and I wasn't observing 1:1 pixel mapping at default 1440 x 900 and the other four you can set, short of trying an external program to set the resolution manually. I used this as the test.
I'm reading that boot camp isn't much better, quoting "a blurry...
Same experience here. I have RMA'd my 500W PSU a while back and have noticed that all the crickets (from mouse scrolling) have disappeared with the replacement as well.
Screenshot clarification:
If you're suggesting that no sound ever comes out of your laptop while it's on AC power, then I don't know, it might be an internal hardware issue.
If you haven't tried setting the primary timings manually, I would do that (9-9-9-24-2T), and put the RAM voltage to slightly above 1.5V.
Also, what slots did you install your RAM into?
Just be aware of potentially damaging the polarizer/screen when cleaning with water... like what happened to this poor guy: http://www.overclock.net/t/1230911/removing-the-anti-glare-coating-on-u2711/
Usually I was able to toggle between uncalibrated and calibrated by clicking the checkbox on "Use my settings for this device," but ever since I reinstalled Windows it doesn't toggle and stays calibrated. If I reactivate ATI's color control then it's able to return to uncalibrated, and if I go...
This issue reminded me of my bad experience with a laptop and Nvidia 8400GS. Powermizer would freeze up the system like your problem every time the core clock changes.
Intel wireless cards (5x00 was the most recent I tested) are also not free from the problem, though the latency isn't that...
I'm noticing the same with my USB DAC as well, spikes (100% cpu) on core 0 every 15 seconds. I'm trying to figure out the problem.
Here is an article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981214
It didn't exactly solve my problems. After installing SP1, the spikes occur every 90-100 seconds...
G-Skill Ripjaws RAM 2x2GB DDR3-1600 7-8-7-24-2N (F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM) - SOLD
Gigabyte P55-USB3 Rev 1.0 (socket 1156) motherboard - SOLD
Intel i5-750 - SOLD
No problems with my rig that I can think of. CPU will be left in socket to prevent potential for pin bending. Will clear CMOS unless...
I wonder about it too, but it's nice to have a peace of mind. I haven't really done extensive testing with my current monitor, the last time I messed with Powertune was when I had XP on my E5200 rig.
It is weird. I would look into whether your XBox is outputting a 24Hz/30Hz signal, which I'm doubting. The EA231WMi likely won't work with anything lower than 60Hz.
What brand is your HDMI-DVI cable? Mines is from Monoprice. My splitter is also from Monoprice.
And if it wasn't obvious already...
I tried out the U2711 at a Microcenter a few months back, I think I remembered seeing splotches of rainbow sparkle everywhere. But then again it was likely that I was really close to the screen, or it was misconfigured, since the rig didn't have a dual dvi cable, so no 1440p.
But this month I...
The wallpapers are Lenovo computer defaults.
You can find similar ones here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lenovophotolibrary/sets/72157612297163774/ , but I don't see the one with the blue/greenish gradient.
The bulb will certainly wear out faster.
I use consoles with my monitor, so I'm limited to RGB control. Games and other benchmark programs I used sometimes overrides the ICC calibration as well, resets to default colors. But do both, that way your monitor will be calibrated, whether you're...
I want one... please, I beg of you. Oh man, my very first laptop has a Radeon Mobility 7500. 6990 is so close to 7500 that it brings back really (kind of) bad memories. I wanted to upgrade the 7500 to the 9000, but couldn't... Was so depressed!!! But see how close 6990 is to 7500? See how...
22 AWG refers to the individual conductors, not the overall cable thickness. 22 AWG is 0.64mm, and 26 AWG is 0.4mm. The jacket surrounding the individual conductors will be slightly bigger.
If you're working with a 1/8" plug, then you should work with the 26AWG cable since it'll fit a regular...
If you want to be safe, you can go with the Mogami W2893 (26 AWG) or W2534 (24 AWG). The twisting and distance of the conductors is what reduces crosstalk.
Thicker can be better, and 26 AWG is bigger than most stock headphone cables. You don't want to go too thick like 22 AWG since it makes the...
As long as that cable has four conductors, then you can recable your headphones with them.
Let's hope that that cable is the very flexible one like my mini-to-RCA. I have the RCA-RCA cable from them and it's stiff as hell.
Most of my packages, from books to laptops, from Amazon isn't packed too well. Usually it's just a roll of those big air bags. I haven't ordered any HDDs from Amazon though.
Newegg always wrapped my single hard drives in many layers of thick bubble wrap. But I think in one occasion my HDD was...
Have you gone into Control Panel > Mouse > Synaptics and played with driver settings there?
Are you using the generic Synaptics drivers? Try those if you haven't.
You can also try other manufacturer's drivers (Acer 1810T and maybe Dell Studio 1555 uses Synaptics and has multifinger support)...
Really depends on what opamp they have at the output stage. The PCM2706, the chip that handles USB audio, does not have direct Windows volume control (volume is pretty much always maxed), so you have to control the volume using software (using the volume bar in foobar2000 for example). To get...
I saw this earlier: http://www.resplendence.com/latencymon
It will list what it thinks is responsible for the spikes. Quite amazing how many DPCs occur per second.
For starters, that's what you can do. I've seen spikes associated with wireless, graphics cards (clocks changing), etc.
From quick searching the volume does affect the RCA out as well. Also saw another post saying that RCA is disabled when a headphone is plugged in.
The uDAC may also have some volume imbalance problems. The Fiio E7 uses digital volume control, and also uses a great DAC when using USB (WM8740).
The Illuminated Keyboard I bought from Best Buy has the W + Shift + space issue. My current and second one which I bought refurbished on eBay doesn't have the issue.
