    Looking for a Gaming Headset

    I have not tried those particular headsets, so I can't comment on those. However, since you have a dedicated Gaming Sound Card, I agree that finding a quality set of headphones that use jacks instead of USB is the better way to go from personal experience. I use the Astro A40 Headset for both...

    Use computer as a blue-ray monitor

    Since you have a Blu-ray drive on your computer, and you want to watch the movie on your HDTV instead of your computer monitor, you could use a VGA/DVI cable to directly connect the HDTV to your Computer, assuming your HDTV has a VGA/DVI connection on the back of it.

    Quiet Static/Hiss from Surround Speakers - Common?

    Hello, I've noticed that a set of Surround Sound speakers I've had emit a very faint, soft hissing sound when I'm within 1 foot or less of the speaker, and only if the room is silent. The hissing sound remains constant no matter what the volume level is set to. I'm curious as to whether or...

    Realtek Audio not recognizing any audio ports

    I've had the same problem with the Realtek sound. I tried updating drivers for a month or two every time there was an update and I never had any success with it. I noticed the problems with Windows 7 64 bit, and assumed there was some compatibility issues. The only solution I had was to buy a...

    Xbox360+HDMI+Monitor w/ onboard speakers

    You could connect the HDMI cable to the Monitor as you are now for the Video. For getting the sound to your Computer Speakers, the only thing I did in the past was use the additional cable that came with the XBox360 HDMI Kit called the Optical/RCA Audio adapter...

    Corsair HX 1000W Modular Power Supply PROBLEM

    Hello, I'll provide an update from my Power Supply issue from nearly a year ago. After successfully RMA'ing the defective Corsair HX 1000W in January 09, I received the same model as a replacement from Newegg a few days later, and the replacement has worked flawlessly the past 12 months. Given...

    Corsair HX 1000W Modular Power Supply PROBLEM

    I had the same issue today. I also received a Corsair HX1000W power supply from Newegg about 4 days ago. Everything worked fine for a few days, but when I tried to power on the computer this morning, there was only a very brief spin of the fans and lights and then nothing after, just like you...

    PSU Failure? Looking for second opinion

    Thank you for the suggestion, Johnny. I swapped out a different four-pin molex connector to connect the power supply to the fan, and was still unable to successfully power the fan with the Corsair PSU. I'll be receiving a new power supply tomorrow (same model), so I will update with the...
