    [SOLVED] What the heck did I just buy? (Sennheiser GSX 1000)

    I fixed the issue. Basically selected the wrong device. Even though you are using a headset you should set the Main Audio as default even though it shows up as a speaker, and then the headset should be set as the communication device. Either way, I'm still not very impressed with the audio...

    [SOLVED] What the heck did I just buy? (Sennheiser GSX 1000)

    Hello! I received my GSX 1000 today but things didn't quite turn out as expected. Imagine my disbelief when I plug in my headset only to find that the audio quality directly from my motherboard is better! (My headset is an MMX 300 equivalent, the sound of these with my previous xonar u7 was...

    HP Omen 15 vs Acer Aspire Nitro

    Hi I really didn't want to make a thread like this but here I go anyway.. HP has a "back to school"-offer right now on their Omen 15 ce002no laptop, and it has amazing specs. 120hz IPS panel (G-sync support), GTX 1060, 7700HQ, 250GB m.2 SSD + 1TB HDD and it seems to have a decent battery. The...

    Sound card stopped working after the anniversary update

    Ayy good news guys. I tried the drivers for Windows 8 64-bit and lo and behold it worked. The card gets recognised as a Xonar U7 and the Dolby Home Theatre software is working aswell. The old audio center looks better imo. Anyways thanks for help guys and please share this to people with similar...

    Sound card stopped working after the anniversary update

    Tomshardware hasn't failed me so far so let's give it a shot. I have a Xonar U7 that has been acting weird lately. Sometimes when I start my PC the sound card doesn't turn on, but I could fix this before by removing and plugging in the USB cable again. However, since I installed windows...

    21:9, 2560x1080, 200hz VS 16:9, 2560x1440, 165hz

    Well I just remembered that the store I was talking about closed for good not long ago so now I can't see it irl I guess plan B is to drive almost 60 miles south and compare them side-by-side. 21:9 vs higher pixel density, how am I ever gonna decide lol? Edit: I see that many people are...

    21:9, 2560x1080, 200hz VS 16:9, 2560x1440, 165hz

    Late reply but I wanted to try some gaming on 100fps and compare it to 120 and the difference is actually pretty clear to me now that I've been on 120hz for so long :/ The curved 3440x1440 seems so nice but if I'm going to pay that much I don't know if I want to sacrifice refresh rate. It looks...

    21:9, 2560x1080, 200hz VS 16:9, 2560x1440, 165hz

    Hey I was going to buy a monitor last year but I never actually did because the good screens weren't out yet. Now, however, there are plenty to choose from. I have a BenQ 1920x1080 120hz 24" screen now, and I'd like to try higher resolutions, but do you think the difference between 2560x1080 and...

    Movie storage disk is dying

    Hello there I have a Seagate 2TB disk (almost) filled with movies and series but today I was unable to watch anything without VLC freezing/lagging. I downloaded HD tune pro (trial) and after 12 minutes I have 13 errors and 2 red bars (out of very many), the scanning speed is very inconsistent...

    Question about MB bios update

    After being in contact with the MSI support they provided an update for my motherboard and it actually fixed my problem with the video card, however, windows 10 broke in the process so I'm now using windows 7 instead. I think it's a win-win situation though, didn't really like w10 that much...
