    Win 8.1 x64 random audio crash

    You've done everything I can think of to do. Do you have speakers hooked up when this happens? Try swapping those out.

    YMMV: Office Depot Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 $99 or less

    How many ran out to exploit this advertising error? Impressive moral flexibility.

    PC Speaker Upgrade, under $300. How's this look?

    Do any T-amps have inputs for a powered sub? Ideally I would like a 3.1 setup without having to invest in a full size receiver.

    "DimmDrive" RAM caching for individual games

    Both statements are correct, but they have nothing to do with each other. People can wash their clothes by hand and dry in the yard, for FREE, with minimal setup. Therefore only suckers would buy a washer and dryer. Lovely logic.

    What game have you logged the most hours on?

    Impressive stamina to rack up those kinds of hours. I can't game more than an hour, maybe two at a stretch. I doubt I have more than 1,000 hours combined for every computer game I've ever played. Now if you had asked about poker, well that's a different story...

    "DimmDrive" RAM caching for individual games

    I don't know about this particular software, but I did once create a 15GB ramdrive (big enough to copy entire game into memory) and tested it with a few different games. Ramdrive vs mechanical drive was night and day. Ramdrive crushed mechanical performance. But the difference of a ramdisk vs...

    Kinect v2 for PC...worth a look?

    The Kinect system seems to be used more in commercial applications. Healthcare and education mostly, I haven't really seen much of anything in entertainment. At $199 for the sensor and requirement of windows 8 and USB 3.0, it doesn't really have the broad market appeal that game developers are...

    Windows 8.1 5.1 audio

    I just went through this process myself with a 7950. This is what I did. 1. Disable on board sound in bios and remove drivers. 2. If you are on windows 8/8.1 then just install latest version of Catalyst. Earlier OS versions may need Realtek driver for ATI HDMI audio 3. Verify that HDCP...

    850 Pro 512GB

    Fresh install is always best, but I've cloned mechanical drives to SSD as well. The key is to make sure the alignment is done correctly. But, pretty much any cloning software can do that correctly. I have personally used Paragon and the free cloning utility that came with my Samsung SSD, both...

    Delay when launching applications (Windows 8.1)

    I made the mistake of installing the disaster that is Windows 8.1... What a mess. I experienced the same delays in opening apps, internet would lose connection half a dozen times over the course of the day and Internet Explorer would constantly freeze, especially if there were more than half a...

    Receiver for separate TV / Computer speakers

    I did a fresh install of windows, with new drivers for video card. I think that may have fixed the HDMI issues. Zone 2 from my receiver is limited to analog signal. How lame is that... So your idea for small secondary amp is best option. Thanks for sharing! I didn't even know these little...

    Wireless Headset for Immersion

    To be honest it freaked me out a little when it first happened the first time, at our old house. Microwave was pretty low end, so I had tech take a look and he said it was ok. Still I didn't stand near it when it was on. But it also happened after we moved to new house. Current unit now is a GE...

    Wireless Headset for Immersion

    I used this for microphone. It will pick up a whisper from 25ft away, so room that you use it in should be quiet. http://www.amazon.com/MXL-AC404-USB-Conference-Microphone/dp/B001TGTDFM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419750071&sr=8-1&keywords=MXL+AC-404+USB

    Wireless Headset for Immersion

    Wireless Headset for Immersion

    I'm no expert on this, but I'll share what little I've learned. Headsets marketed as "5.1" came in two varieties. Those that simulate 5.1 sound and those that have multiple physical drivers. Personally, I found the units that had multiple drivers not only had poor imaging, but they also had the...

    Wireless Headset for Immersion

    I searched for wireless headset options a couple years ago, and the best I found was the Sennheiser RS180. These are an open headset, which I personally prefer, but maybe not good if you need sound isolation. I think the RS170 model is closed. Range is excellent. I can walk anywhere in my...

    Receiver for separate TV / Computer speakers

    I tried using audio via HDMI from 7970 card, but I had problems with certain sources. So I ended up just running RCA cables from the Sound card to receiver. With HDMI for video only. This seems to work ok. The Velodyne is wired directly to the receiver sub channel. The AM3's are wired to...

    Receiver for separate TV / Computer speakers

    Due to the layout of my office I can't use the same speaker setup for TV and computer (see below). So I'd like to accomplish two things. 1. Have a single receiver that can switch between 3.1 TV speaker setup and 2.1 computer speaker setup. (Room layout doesn't really lend itself to surround)...

    FS: Dell Ultrasharp 2414Q 4K LCD Monitor x 3

    Awesome monitors. The DeltaE on this modesl is less than 1.0 with factory calibration! Anything less than 2.0 is nearly impossible to detect with the naked eye. 4k resolution with professional level color at this price? What a steal.

    Dell u3011 panoramic

    That 2nd pic of the 3x U3011 is actually mine. Weird, that I even saw this post since I only visited this thread on the forum because I'm selling my U3011's and looking to move to a single 4k monitor. However, to answer your question... PLP is great for office work, but if you want to do any...

    4k 30"+ single panel for ~$4,000?

    Explain to me the allure of vinyl. Or better yet, stop me from spending my money.

    For me, vinyl creates a stronger connection to a memory. Music in general does that anyway, but something about the recognizable flaws of a vinyl recording really draw me in... they become a part of the music... the way you remember it. If you grew up during that era, that may make sense...

    Software for multiple simultaneous mouse clicks?

    You can code it from scratch in C++, C# or VB.net or something. Much quicker to just use something like Autohotkey or AutoIt AutoIt is, I believe, multi threaded, so I would start there.

    Very excited about Surface Pro 2

    Agreed. I have a Verizon 4620LE mobile hotspot, and battery life on the thing is so poor that I just end up using my iPad as a hotspot. But having LTE integrated into the device is best. Years ago, I had a Thinkpad laptop, with built in WIFI, that allowed for access to be purchased in blocks...
