    Question What is possible with HDMI in home multimedia? HDCP ARC...

    Thank you for the reply! So from this statement it is fair to conclude that some TV's could have problems sending audio to the AVR over HDMI if sourced externally from the Ethernet network or an internal TV application? Also is ARC always mandatory if you want to send audio from different...

    Question What is possible with HDMI in home multimedia? HDCP ARC...

    Thank you for your reply! I know you replied a while back, but I didn't have time to follow up in the meantime. So, right now I am mostly using my Plex Media Server as a source of video+Audio content and Spotify/Deezer as a source of Audio only content. Both of those are thus sent to the TV...

    Question Does adding a second storage device need any special software?

    Since you are talking about SATA for the connection to your SSD, I assume this is a normal SATA interface SSD (there are literally 5 types of SSD I can come up with and all could have different reasons of not being detected straight away by your computer). Since you replaced one SATA SSD by...

    Fan full speed lower than advertised or degraded?

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if it's normal that my case fans that are supposed to be able to rotate at a speed of 1200 rpm only rotate at +- 1010 rpm in full speed? Is this a false marketing technique? Or am I bad at placing my fans correctly? Or could there be some other issue like a lack of...

    Aurora R4 motherboard with GTX 1050 TI no boot

    Hi everyone, I'm running a small computer repair business. I was handed over an older Alienware Aurora R4 desktop. The client bought a new GPU (Nvidia GTX 1050 TI) for it and got a single boot from it after install. After this full boot no response ever came from the GPU, the PC was never able...

(We also got the shadow file with the hashed passwords of 'all' users but this is less important atm.) I wanted to...
