Additional: I did try different speakers and headphones as well

Hello all, Two years or so I purchased a Soundblaster AE-5 soundcard and it worked superb until last year when I turned on my PC and all I got from the card was low, crackling audio. I troubleshooted it like so: - Re-seated the card, issue remained - Tried different outputs, issue remained...

It's because there are 6-7x more variants of the card not in stock. 7x 0

At this rate I might just go for the 6900 lol Assuming they have less demand. Do we know when more 6800XTs are due? I say more, really any as I have seen none today

I cannot find any website with any cards. Not that I'd spend that much. £700 was pushing it

To be honest other websites were the same. Though S**n(iirc) did give the option for the 6800 briefly. But Overclockers is where I will stick to as they're generally better CS

So last week I waited at 2pm and the 6800 XT never gave me the option to pre-order, so hoping tomorrow it will. Is there a set time? I have my credit card waiting to go. Then it's just a wait for the 5900X to come in stock and my upgrade is complete :)

Hello all, Recently upgraded my monitor to the AOC Q27G2U 27" 144Hz G-Sync Compatible monitor. Really love it, fantastic bit of hardware except G-SYNC is not working properly. When I play games every so often the screen will go blank / black for 2 seconds then return. The game continues to run...

I looked but there are none on eBay and this is the first MS540 PC I've seen on eBay probably for a year

Nope no manuals. I'm not sure which EEPROM it would be on as there are a few on the board. I have a horrible feeling this computer is now a paperweight

I can clear the BIOS but it doesn't clear this particular password. I think it may be stored on EEPROM

Hey all, Just purchased an Apricot MS540 from eBay but it is asking for a Fingerprint Password when powered on. Is there any way to clear this? The manual states this is a branding password set by the user but there is a fail back password, unfortunately I have no way of knowing what this is...

Just tried and nope. Issue remains :(

I think our issues are very different as no audio works properly for me. Windows Sounds, Test sounds, games, YouTube, music files etc. There is no stutter neither that I've noticed. So you should be okay

Sadly I've already reinstalled Windows fresh and the problem remains :(

You did and I really do appreciate the help :) Yeah I disabled both the on-board VGA/Audio and LAN. Plus resetting BIOS and then finally updating the BIOS. I'll let you know the outcome in a few weeks when the board returns to see if it resolves the issue.

I really do thank you for your help, honestly I am grateful. Sadly this is an issue that cannot be resolved

I tried with them on and off but no go. I decided to put the SB AE-5 back in as I don't need to RMA that now. Trying it in Stereo there is only audio from 1 socket on the back and it's distorted/muffled etc. I tried in 5.1 and only the front left/right output worked but again, distorted. I...

Hello, I am in 2.0 stereo mode but will check for the immediate mode option and report back Thanks

Neither Creative card has these options in their respective software, that I can find anyway. I have turned off all extra audio enhancements like Crystalizer etc. The issue is also present without the software installed, just the driver. I have spatial sound and all audio enhancements turned...
