Audacity isn't the answer, yes you can change the speed, but changing the speed also changes the pitch, that makes it absolutely useless! With Amazing slow downer, you can select a replay speed from 20% speed all the way up to 200% speed without it changing the pitch. You can also correct...

Okay, I'm getting the message to simply wait for a while, I can do that. Thanks everyone for your input. I'll revisit this in a year or so's time and see where everything is going with Windows 10 and 11

Thanks Zoda, it was something I wasn't sure about. I'll look at CPU's with integrated video, it will make a significant saving. Thanks

I don't do gaming, what sort of spec video card and CPU would anyone recommend?

My video card is an Asus GTX 780 DC2

I'm not sure now is the time to think about upgrading my PC. The news of the imminent release of Windows 11 has brought this on. The current system I have is now getting on for 10 years old. It still does my just fine, thought the boot stage isn't 100% reliable, one in ten times I have to hit...

I'm not looking forward to another mess with the introduction of Win 11, my pc works well and is far from redundant but I need music manipulation software to slow pieces down without changing pitch and also have a separate pitch control. I am currently using Amazing Slow Downer on my Windows PC...

Thanks Pendragon I've checked out the Inspiron range and it seems to be pretty much what we're looking for. They can even supply it with Adobe elements which would probably suite my wife.

I'm really having a hard time looking at what to spend on it, this is somewhat complicated as we're in Australia and so the budget is going to be in Australian dollars. I was thinking I wouldn't want to spend more than $1500 Australian so around the US $1200 I was only going to go with 8 gig of...

What recommendations for a lap top for my wife, I'm a dedicated desktop user, I can't see the point in something so small and needing batteries doesn't make sense to me! However she would really like a lap top. Her current pc is my old desktop. An Asus P9 X79 PRO mb with 32 gig of ram, 500 gig...

Thanks everyone for the tips. I did a refresh on Firefox and it's now working a lot better. Cheers JG

cjcox and Mazzspeed Your comments would be fine if the drivers were different each time. It has to be a Microsoft issue, it's only when I get the unwanted updates this happens, ever single time they do another update. How can it be a Realtek issue?

More updates and guess what, sound is crashed yet again. Come on Microsoft, fix your F ups for once please!

I've been running Firefox on my PC's for over 20 years now. I've recently had issues using Facebook messenger in video messaging. It used to be perfect but recently I have had major issues with freezing images, very poor audio with only the odd word coming through. In fact trying to conduct...

I though I had the sound issues well sorted having gone to build 2004, today no more sound on Video clips again, I am seriously over Windows 10 and all the crap you have to put up with. Really really p!553d off. Why do I have to keep deleting all the sound outputs that Windows keeps installing...

I have the similar issues. Every month or so I have to go into the device manager and unistall my hd sound and then reboot to get it back. It's not a question of having the latest drivers, I went through all that crap months ago and wasted so much time trying to figure what was going on. I...

Hi B00nie I did get my Amazing slow downer kinda working in Linux using Wine, the visuals were very basic and I couldn't enlarge the very small window. However it was the lack of anything that was as good as Media Player 12 I'm running on Win 10. I am really happy that all my hardware is now...

Just an update on resolving my audio problems on both my wife's and my PC. So far both machines are now working fine with none of the previous audio issues. I checked my wife's PC and the build 2004 was available as an update so I did and it would appear so far that this has sorted out all the...

Thanks Executioner and Chuklr I've just gone through a whole load of updates and also upgraded to build 1909. I'll see how the new build runs over the next few days and also read and follow the advice on the link you've recommended. I'll do the same on my wife's PC and see where this goes. I...

Hi vick1000, I've already done this on my PC. 365 days on one and 30 days on the other. I did see that the build I'm running is 1903 and I'm now updating to build 1909 to see if this will make a difference so I've temporarily resumed the updates

70 Polara and Executioner. I've just booted up my PC which I am still also having major audio problems with. I've just checked the system info and I'm running Win 10 Pro version 10.8.18362 My wife's PC is based on an Asus P9 X79 pro motherboard and my PC is a Rampage iv Black edition X79...

In the immortal words of Victor Mildew of "One Foot In The Grave" fame I just do not believe it! I thought I had it licked! I just booted it up and all the same problems are back. I have no idea what is going on. How can it be fine one moment, after a reboot, it all turns to crap again. It...

I seem to have got a fix. I uninstalled everything in the sound devices in the device manager. On the restart I set all the bios parameters to the default settings and let Windows 10 install whatever drivers for the audio hardware that it wanted. I think that's how I started out with the fresh...

How do I order a key for Office 2010 pro plus

Hi bidochris The system does have Turbo boost enabled, I'll disable that. I have checked the intel site for the latest INF but there's nothing for my board on the their site! :( These speakers do work just fine. When you do all the Windows Audio tests it all comes back fine, no issues. on the...

I have done a fresh installation of Windows 10 on my wife's PC. So we can both be mostly up to date. She doesn't do a whole lot of work on hers these days. But I thought updating to Windows 10 would likely be a good solution. So after the fresh installation I thought I'd check out the sound...

Thanks Executioner, that looks like a pair of good solutions. I'll try them out. Thank you

I have now got my Windows 10 PC working fine in the Audio dept. I can now listen to YouTube videos with good sound quality and I can at last carry on conversations on Facebook messenger with clear audio and video. It cost me a cheap sound card that isn't needed but it was way cheaper than a new...

Okay, I copied the "MY MUSIC" folder and put it on a common drive. It is all the albums I've ripped to my drive over 20 plus years. There are individual tracks I've also downloaded and in Windows Media Player, you are able to group them by artist which I of course did. The albums I ripped from...

It's not going well, I have copied my Win 10 file "Music" across a common hdd. Now the "Music" file has albums, album art, and single tracks (mp3's) all over the place. Is there anyway to drag and drop any of these files across to any of these music players you've listed? I was able to copy all...

I have downloaded the package for VLC too. I'm just trying to get all my music into one of them! I'm stumbling along trying to do things like you'd do in Windows and to be fair Mint 19.3 seems to be a very close comparison in some ways. I'll get there in the end!

Thanks, I've just downloaded smplayer.

Hi I really want to get away from Windows 7 and 10. I'm not a gamer and don't do much photography anymore. I don't want to buy another PC just to make Windows work. I really like Windows Media player. I have used it for I can't remember how many years and it allows me to find all my downloaded...

I have now tried for a few days both Windows 7 and Linux Mint 19.3 and I have no problems with audio or using messenger on Facebook, everything works fine on both systems. The diagnosis has to be that this is a Windows 10 problem. It can't be a hardware failure on my PC that I was fearing. The...

I'm interested in this thread, I have had a massive amount of hassles with my Win 10 machine with audio, but only if it's via YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook. I've loaded Linux Mint 19.3 and have installed Wine so I can load some of my Windows program which has done successfully if not as feature...

I don't understand what's going on. The sound is only poor if I'm viewing something online, ie YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook Messenger Video. The Facebook Video Messenger is now unusable as the picture freezes and the voice drops out. If I play music from my Media Player, the sound is perfect, how...

Hi everyone. One day! That's all I've had with everything working okay. I set the delays on updates at 365 days and 30 days It's all turned to crap again! Pops in anything I view on YouTube or Vimeo and it's now impossible again to use Facebook Video messenger. This is just crazy! I just...

I don't know why, but someone has moved my post about all the issues I've had recently with my Windows 10 PC. It transpires all my criticism of Windows 10 was 100% justified. I was going to post the reply below to finish the topic only to find the whole topic has been moved or removed!? So after...

Okay, this has got crazy! Everything is fine again. I haven't done anything. My only thoughts now are, was this something to do with the fact these were on line videos and the artifacts were from my isp? It would explain why I was getting the same issues when I switched to my Win 7 hard drive...

Hi Golden Tiger Yes I did, but then found that there was a specific Computer Audio section I figured it wouldn't hurt to double up. Thank you travm It can't be the hardware, I have no problems with sound when I play any tracks from my my collection on Windows Media player. The sound is...
