No worries, thanks for you help:)

Ah, I think I have worked it out. The case I have is a Lian Li 216. On the front panel, there is only a headphone out socket. Looking in he manual for the motherboard, the 2 rear jacks handle the sub/center speakers, and the front L/R speakers. The microphone out (front) handles the rear, and...

Ok, So I installed the drivers on the Asrock site for the board, and now I can install the realtek audio console. So it clearly didn't like me having the asus drivers for an asrock board. But, I can't change anything in the app (basically I'm back to where I started). I looked in the BIOS...

The message is fairly generic, just keeps failing with a "Reporting this problem will help us understand it better. You can wait a bit and try again or restart your device. That may help." error. Tried installing the DTS App first, that installed successfully, but still the same error when I...

So this is what I see in the app folder, links to the MS store: I am just trying to install the Audio Control as I believe that's the one I need. And when I click on that I can see: And it won't install. Probably not a bad thing for an app rated 1.9 :D The URL is...

click....click...click....click....click....click...click....click....click....click...click....click....click....click...click....click.... not sure if this download will ever work =)

thanks, I've cleaned the old drivers for good measure and followed the instructions, but i cant download the audio console app from the store. think it's a problem with the store, I'll keep trying...

Thanks for your help... Erm, what download do I need? There is lot on that page! Maybe i am blind...

I have the realtek audio console, is that what you mean? There is no option to disable any Jack's, its pretty basic. I've noticed that when I click on "device advanced settings" it shows what's Jack's are in use. When I plug a jack into the front input, its shows that both the headphone and...

Hi guys, I am having trouble setting up 5.1 sound on my steel legend x670e motherboard. there are only 3 audio jacks; 2 on the io shield and 1 on the front panel. When I plug in the 2 at the back, I can get sub and front speakers working, but as soon as I plug in the rear speakers (on the...

Thanks for the feedback guys. So paraphrasing, pcie 5.0 isnt anything to worry about for the next few years. That said, I'd rather have it than not, but its not worth paying much extra for. On the subjectivity of longevity, I'd like this system to last at least 5 years. Hence the desire to...

Hey Guys, I am looking at building myself an AM5 gaming system in the next couple of weeks, and the amount of motherboards out there and the choices available is making my mind melt. My current system was built in 2015, its an old 6600K with a 2070 super, which I'll give to my son. I'm still...

thanks. It would be an expensive experiment! Understand dlss has limited support but I was curious if it would apply to any resolution.

Hi guys. I was thinking of building a ultimate behemoth machine, maybe early next year for gaming. It could feature a 5950X ryzen cpu and an nvidia 3900. Would this be powerful enough to run 3 x 4k monitors for gaming? I know it's a big ask! I was thinking for demanding games I could use...

Its looking like a dead 980ti - I replaced with a new 2070 super and its a lot faster and it doesn't die in 20 mins. Its early days yet, but its looking positive. Not sure if I can "fix" the 980ti, doesn't look like its over heating so I don't think replacing the thermal paste will do much - It...
