    Speaker static woes...I need help

    I've noticed over the past few days my klipsch 2.1 system has random "pops" in just about every song. My guess is there's static somewhere along the line, and after a while it builds up enough to discharge. But it is annoying, and at some point I'm going to fix it. Hopefully it's just dust or...

    Mozilla vs IE

    I use firefox, but really because of the tabs. I find it neater than than all the extra windows being open. I haven't found the functionality issues, except for a few "plugins" that it'll want. But I don't do much else on the web that would need huge functionality I guess, or at least anything...

    Sound card - Tuner card

    Right now I don't have a dual mini-jack cable, and I wanted it to hook directly into the sound card because it should have better quality than the tv tuner, or so I thought.

    Sound card - Tuner card

    It's not. I have a coaxial cable running from the vcr to my tv-tuner. This carries the really quiet sound. Then from the RCA ports on the vcr I have them hooked up through a mini-jack converter into my line-in on my sound blaster audigy 2, where the sound is better, but it's delayed.

    Sound card - Tuner card

    I just got a tv tuner. It works nicely, but the sound on it is very quiet, so I hooked the audio up to my sound card. Now this plays at a nice volume, but there's a second or two lag in the sound. :( How can I fix this?

    Optimizations and tweaks

    Lately I've been "updating" my windows. But there's something I don't know how to do. Does anyone know how to change the text on the side of the start menu? Mine says "Windows XP Professional" right now, and I'd like to change that.

    Upgrade from 9500?

    Ah. Well, from what I remember tv resolution is different (projection or something) so the smaller resolution won't look blurry or pixelated. But my roommate's dvd player won't play burned dvds, so I'd have to watch them on my computer, which is at 1280x1024, so 720x480 is pretty nice for that...

    Resampling

    Sometimes when I convert video files the video and audio get out of sync. normally the audio causes the problem, but I've had it where the video was actually the culprit. I found that out because when I "fixed" the audio it had actually been slowed down, and then I noticed that the time on the...

    Upgrade from 9500?

    But that's so tiny!!! It's a personal collect, yes, but I'd still like good quality. Even the the source is VHS I want to make as close to "dvd-quality" as I can. That way I don't have to buy the "real" dvd, I can make my own from my own vhs cassette. I'm getting a SATA 80GB hard drive just...

    Upgrade from 9500?

    But that's so small :( There's no way to get a nice 720x480? Maybe I should've mentioned I'm in NTSC land?

    Anyone have any good ideas about what's a good card to record off of tv/vcr?

    Upgrade from 9500?

    =P But what card, exactly? I've found a few others. The problem is I don't know what is good in these things. I want something to be able to capture "top" quality video @ 720x480

    Upgrade from 9500?

    Just a plain old radeon 9500. My plan is to spend the least I can. If I can suffice with my current card and just get a ~$30 tv input card that seems like a whole lot better of an idea to me. That's the current plan, too. I just want to know what the *best* option would be, witht he given...

    Upgrade from 9500?

    Ok, so I did some more looking around, and decided that my video card can stay, and I'll just buy a ~$30 tv tuner :) Which is better? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=15-100-129&depa=1 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=15-100-103&depa=1...
