Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
are you talking about the CD audio cable that runs to your CD/DVD drives? if it's wide and flat, you should be able to just pull it out pretty easily. if it's more narrow, there should be a tab that you have to push down before you can pull it out.
as with everything in your computer, if it's not budging, don't force it. the last thing you want to do is snap something off of your sound card.
