    New Acer XR341CK monitor won't go to Power Saving Mode

    I recently upgraded my monitor to an Acer XR341CK. I still have the Samsung Syncmaster 2343 mounted on the side (now portrait). When I get up and leave my desk, I always "lock" my pc via the Windows 10 lock option. When I only had my Samsung monitor, the display would basically turn off, but the...

    Windows doesn't recognize my center and sub speaker

    The configuration is set at 5.1 as it always has been. There is no option to "enable" individual speakers.

    Windows doesn't recognize my center and sub speaker

    Sorry buddy, no change. I feel like there's something awfully simple I'm missing, but I've checked all the plugs, drivers, settings... idk

    Windows doesn't recognize my center and sub speaker

    Thanks. I have since found the Realtek program on the 'puter. It's working, all drivers are up to date according to Realtek and Windwos. Here's the thing. When I do the "test speakers in 5.1 config" thing, the left front fires it's test pattern (the subwoofer hits, too), then the right...

    Windows doesn't recognize my center and sub speaker

    Not to sound ungrateful, but all of those options for download are for Windows Vista and older platforms. I have Windows 7 64 bit.

    Windows doesn't recognize my center and sub speaker

    Well, I did, but when I attempted to update the Realtek Drivers, the driver installation process deleted everything I have. Now when I search for Realtek HD on my computer, all I get is the folder I DL'd from Asus that is supposed to contain the new drivers. I tried to install them, but It's...

    Windows doesn't recognize my center and sub speaker

    Here's a crazy one for you. I noticed just the other day my subwoofer wasn't resonating like it usually does. Hmm, after doing a playback check, (in 5.1 mode) I get no tone for the center or the sub during the check. So, basically my Logitech x-540s are stuck in stereo. Now during games, I...

    Youtube jacked on my laptop

    Hp Pavilion dv6707 Vista 32 premium for some odd reason, my laptop doesn't like Youtube anymore. It will play vids that are in a Facebook feed (for example) but it will not play videos from the site proper. The video will try to load, and I'll even get the audio, but no picture. Very...

    Windows 7 reinstall.. mouse keyboard doa

    The mouse and keyboard both work in the BIOS. Everything I could find that looked even remotely near USB-y on the BIOS, I enabled.

    Windows 7 reinstall.. mouse keyboard doa

    Re-installing 7 on a recently formatted hdd. Everything is fine in BIOS, but when the DVD ROM fires up the Windows and I get my first menu, keyboard dies and so does the mouse. Both are USB. Any ideas?

    Is it worth it to build when I can buy this?

    If you're doing basic computing, there's nothing wrong with pre-builts, really. You can usually find a deal, too. My only problem with them is they crammed full of garbage software that is all set to startup with the computer. 4 anti virus subscription reminders, 6 trials of Jim's Office...

    Upgrading to Win 7 on an older laptop

    Hey all. I've got an HP dv6707. 2gb RAM, Athlon 64 X2 dual core TK-57 @ 1.90 GHz. Will this laptop accept Win 7 64? I'm currently on Vista 32 and I hate it. If you folks think I can plug 7 in it, I'm gonna upgrade the RAM to 4gb. Let's hear it. :)

    Droid and Mp3 or use both?

    I have a Motorola Droid (original). One of the reasons I got it was to not have to carry around an Mp3 player, but this thing has been a serious music playing letdown. Sync'ing with Windows Media player was clumsy, and didn't want to display album art. Rhapsody does not recognize it as...

    FPS drops during games.. How can I fix without reducing settings?

    300 bucks will buy you a great PS3 or XBOX 360. $300 will not buy you a great gaming computer. Sorry. :(
