    Soundblaster Z Issue

    Ahh yes thats what I have. Soundblaster Z and Soundblaster Audio Controller. So theres nothing that can be done about it? Currently the quickest way I have found is to not reinstall the drivers, but to uninstall them, then let windows install it again. This cuts it down to 1 restart :/

    Oh crap dont say that! My Motherboard: GA-AB350M-GAMING 3 AMD B350 What does this hardware defect do? Anything in those slots doesnt work right, or something related specifically to soundcards? *edit Some chap on some other forums described this issue too and said it was fixed by disabling...

    Soundblaster Z Issue

    Apologies for the late reply. I've now tried creatives own advice as well which was a clean boot of windows with all startup items disabled, and to remove the drivers then reinstall them. Same issue. I've also moved the card from PCIE x1 to PCIE x16 and no difference. I've also disabled windows...

    Soundblaster Z Issue

    Ahh cheers for the replies, I will try that tonight. The funny thing is I tried completely uninstalling the drivers last night then installed the soundblaster Z drivers from the website, and even at that stage it said Recon3d as the card. So not sure its windows fault at this point. Someone...

    Soundblaster Z Issue

    Ok I will add to the tons of threads regarding Soundblaster card issues since windows updates... So I recently changed motherboard, and updated windows from 17xx to 18xx. Since I did both at once I'm not certain the culprit. As it stands on windows bootup after a period of time being switched...

    Memory / Cpu usage

    Yeah apologies, I should have filled in more blanks here! Its only when gaming. I'm thinking I may have discovered the issue though. The resource monitor was a bit odd, it said 3gb of Modified memory. No idea what thats all about! But I then realised I moved the page file a while back and have...

    Memory / Cpu usage

    Hey guys! Got a small conundrum here. My computer is regularly warning me I am low on memory, and I'm not sure whats using it all up. Before anyone shouts 'Task Manager' at me, the most memory usage at this very second is 2.1gb by Ark (testing it out this weekend), and I have 16gb am. I cant...

    Question about sound with HD files

    OK ignore the content of said files, this is just a simple question of figuring out some sound issues. First things first. When it comes to picture I am a quality-aholic. I love full HD and have recently gotten a 4k tv. Now, a problem I have always had, on a 4k or a HD tv, is high quality...

    Indeed! Its not the message its the tone thats grating! I am always happy to help anyone who asks, but that varies greatly on how they ask. Hopefully my day of stress and searching will help someone else out in the future anyhow!

    NAS issue - Qnap TS-212

    no one replied to my post, so from that my assumption was either: A. no one was in the same situation as me needing help or B. no one had encountered this issue before and was in a position to help me. But if people would prefer a solution it goes like this: The NAS is a basic setup where I have...

    NAS issue - Qnap TS-212

    Hey chaps! Hoping someone has an answer for my issue here: Day before yesterday a drive on my NAS died, bit of a pain, lost 3tb, but thats not the issue. After that I emptied a 2tb on my pc and stuffed it in it. Then formatted the drive (yes just the new drive before anyone pipes up!) Ok skip...

    Soundblaster Z Microphone Issue

    The gfx card is EVGA GeForce GTX 970. No idea if this is better or worse for noise! Step 1 when I get home, look for some kind of loopback microphone app so I can hear what I am saying in almost realtime without having to record it!

    Soundblaster Z Microphone Issue

    I do have a lower slot available to try this evening, it is sat directly above the gfx card currently because I didnt even consider things like noise when I plugged it in having never suffered from it before :/ Is it strange that it only affects the microphone not the speakers / headphones or is...

    HTPC OS

    Now that is something I wish I had heard about before! Sounds exactly what I need. Basically so long as I can turn on the pc, have it boot to Kodi, map to the NAS for media, and be remote controlled by my phone I am happy to ignore everything else, or even disable parts where necessary. But I...

    HTPC OS
