    Corsair HS50 Headset - USB adapter or dual jack connection into laptop?

    I just got a secondhand Corsair HS50 gaming headset with a mic. It is a single jack connection, but came with a splitter adapter that has both audio input and output. My laptop only has one audio jack, but I do have a Logitech USB adapter designed for audio input/output 3.5 mm jacks. My question...

    Adding a secondary SSD to Acer Nitro 5?

    I have the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-51 which is the model that comes with the 250 GB SSD. Can I add a secondary SSD? Does the Nitro 5 have more than one M.2 slot, or does the existing SSD take up the M.2 space? If I cannot add an SSD, can I add an HDD instead? My model has the i5-7300HQ, 8GB RAM...

    Earbuds work in laptop audio jack, but Logitech G230 headset does not

    My laptop has a single audio jack and when I plug in my earbuds, they work fine, but if I plug in the green audio cable of my Logitech G230 headset into the same jack, it will not play audio. The device shows up specifically in sound devices and when tested, it will show audio as being played...

    Acer Nitro randomly shutting off after seconds of inactivity

    My Acer Nitro AN515-51 was bought new about a year ago, and since then it's had very minimal issues. Recently, however, it's been going to sleep/shutting off completely after seconds of inactivity. All my settings indicate that it should go to sleep on battery power after an hour, and go to...

    Upgrading Intel Pentium G4400 with H110M-A Motherboard

    I currently have a Gigabyte H110M-A motherboard (LGA1151 socket) and a Pentium G4400. Could I upgrade to a G4560, G5400, or G4600 without a BIOS flash? I bought the motherboard new over a year ago, so I assumed it wasn't equipped with the BIOS necessary for seventh and eighth gen CPUs.

    Acer Nitro 5 with Dolby Audio has constant scratchy/staticky audio

    For the past couple weeks, my Nitro 5 has been emitting scratchy audio, sometimes with static that gets louder as I turn the volume up. Even at lower volumes, the scratching is very noticeable and distracting so I can't listen to music or anything while I work or play. The only thing that solves...

    Upgrading CPU from G4400 to i3 6100?

    I currently have an Intel Pentium G4400 in a Gigabyte H110M-A motherboard, I was looking to upgrade it to an i3 6100 or 7100. I was also looking at the G4560 and the i3 8100, but the 6100 and 7100 were most appealing to me for the fairly budget price tag. Would an 8100 or G4560 be better for the...

    Intel Pentium G440, 16GB RAM with GTX 750ti, capabilities?

    I decided to upgrade my PC from Intel integrated graphics to a Pentium G4400 with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, an EVGA GTX 750ti, and an ASUS H110M-A D3 mobo. What kinds of games can this handle? Anything you guys would recommend instead? Am I better off saving for a 1050 and an i5?
