    High Definition Audio Device doesn't recognize microphone.

    I had a similar post, but now I have more information. If I use Realtek Audio Driver, then my microphone works, but every 60 seconds or so the audio will skip for a second. I switched to the High Definition Audio Device, but my microphone doesn't work on it. Is there a workaround for this?

    Alternative driver to Realtek and Rosetta stone?

    Tascam DR-05, how to set up to a computer?

    I have Rosetta Stone and I need a mic. I had a Tascam DR-05 laying around, so I'm trying to use that. But I don't get any prompts when I plug it into the USB dock. The computer seems to be working as a power source only. Does anyone know how to set this up?

    Program that shows heat map?

    Years ago I had a program for my old pc. It showed the heat of each component, how much power was being used, memory, CPU, etc... The format was nice. But I don't have it anymore and forgot the name. Does anyone know of a freeware version of something like this? A one stop shop display.
