    Question Video capture card static noise

    The weirdest thing about all this though is that if I directly connect my earphones in the capture device I can hear the sound perfectly clear. So I really don't get why passing it to the pc suddenly creates static. Even on a totally separate pc. I'm not that into all the sound stuff, but I...

    Question Video capture card static noise

    I tried the "crackling" configuration but instead of connecting the 3.5mm cable from the capture device to the same PC that I also have the usb connencted to, I connected (the 3.5mm cable) to another pc and recorded the sound. It no more sound like a crackling sound, so I guess there probably...

    Question Video capture card static noise

    I edited my post to include the schematic. I don't think there are any loops happening. It's not a difficult setup anyway.

    Question Video capture card static noise

    I have the Powertech CAB-H164 external video capture device which is an inexpensive device but seems to work fine. The only problem I have is that recording sound seems to produce a background static noise. The way this thing works is you connect the hdmi from the source (Android TV box in my...

    Question Laptop can't connect to many websites (ERR_SSL_BAD_RECORD_MAC_ALERT) ?

    - No pending windows updates. - No app to enhance Wi-Fi. - Of course I have AV but I've tried disabling it and nothing. Also, it's worth mentioning that there are many other devices (pc, laptop, android box) on the same network with no problems. - Network is set to private. Again though, all the...

    Question Laptop can't connect to many websites (ERR_SSL_BAD_RECORD_MAC_ALERT) ?

    I'm having a pretty weird problem. At some point and without having done anything different, my laptop just can't connect to certain websites (many websites, not just 3 or 4). When I try to access those sites I get the following errors: Firefox: Secure Connection Failed (no error code) Opera...

    Question Laptop has massive lag (very slow) ?

    Windows install: I made a new bootable usb with a windows 10 .img and did a clean install. BIOS is on its latest vesrion. But regardless, I would understand that doing a BIOS might mess with the machine, but even if there was a BIOS update that I haven't done, it shouldn't change anything with...

    Question Laptop has massive lag (very slow) ?

    Hello everyone, so I'm at my wit's end. I usually can fix computer staff pretty easily but this is very weird. It all started when my laptop (EDIT: Acer Aspire 5 A515-51G-58E ) suddenly started lagging a lot, to the point where the cursor was moving in steps. After a minute or so the laptop just...

    [SOLVED] PC boots to black screen after power surges. (Weird RAM interactions)

    Ok, so I solved this by updating the BIOS. Seems like the BIOS was "stuck" in some way and you had to change the state of the PC ( by adding/removing RAM) after every power down. I'm keeping this up since I think it's worth existing for other people to find

    [SOLVED] PC boots to black screen after power surges. (Weird RAM interactions)

    Hey everyone, So I have a weird problem where my PC will open to a black screen, staying even before POST forever (until I power it off of course). I found a way to make it boot properly but I thingk there's something wrong with the MOBO/RAM (Some info: I have removed all SATA and GPU from the...
