[flat sequoia]

Okay so

One thing

Any idea why tf it’s done that

On the second monitor

go into your display settings for the second monitor and make sure the resolution is right?

[flat sequoia]

Yeeaaaah

[thin star]

GeForce Experience drivers all done?

[flat sequoia]

Alright so

I’m currently working out my microphone

It’s not currently.. working

[prime willow]

It works atleast !

[wanton osprey]

If you go to sound settings, is it set as your default input device?

[prime willow]

How are you plugging it in

[flat sequoia]

In the back with the usb areas

[wanton osprey]

It lights up right?

[flat sequoia]

That plug in the middle of the photo

[flat sequoia]

Yes

[wanton osprey]

Okay so it is being detected it may just need changing in sound settings

Ignore my input device im on my work pc lol

[flat sequoia]

?

[wanton osprey]

Whats the mic not working on, Discord?

[flat sequoia]

Just I think overall..?

[wanton osprey]

click start test see if it picks anything up

[flat sequoia]

0%

Of total volume

😀

[prime willow]

Then that up

[wanton osprey]

Huh is the mic muted by chance? 🤣

[prime willow]

Yeah 🤣

Imagine

[flat sequoia]

Nope

[prime willow]

Ouch uh

Try a different port

[wanton osprey]

Ok I'm confused then its lighting up so its receiving power

[prime willow]

One of the blue ones

[flat sequoia]

I have

Heavily confused

Gonna sob

[wanton osprey]

Have you tried it in discord?

[flat sequoia]

Yup

[wanton osprey]

checked if the mic is selected here?

[flat sequoia]

Yeah

I’m ok that

*on

[wanton osprey]

input device is your Fifine mic

then output is your headset/speakers?

[flat sequoia]

Yes

[wanton osprey]

Huh that's so odd so your PC is picking up your microphone but doesn't work

I really don't know ;-;

[flat sequoia]

Ugh wtf

That’s so stupid

It’s a new mic

I only got it last month

[prime willow]

So your output device is right?

You got any audio at all

[wanton osprey]

Yeah that looks like monitor speakers

does ur monitor have speakers?

Yep just looked it does

[prime willow]

[flat sequoia]

Should I try this

[wanton osprey]

May aswell

[flat sequoia]

Nvm

That’s for output audio

Wtf where do I find help with input

[wanton osprey]

?

Are you sure the mic isn't muted

like 100% sure

[prime willow]

Are you sure

Like - dead dead dead certain

[wanton osprey]

I just don't see how the mic isn't working when the PC is clearly detecting the microphone

[flat sequoia]

I’m sure it’s not muted.. it’s lit up and there’s a mute button on the top

[wanton osprey]

Wait turn that input volume up

to like 80%

or higher

[flat sequoia]

Nothing

Still

[wanton osprey]

having input volume that low means you gotta scream for it to pick up (atleast for me)

[flat sequoia]

I even put it at 100

Nothing

[wanton osprey]

Ow 😦

[flat sequoia]

Do you think it’s bc it’s not a like

Microphone Jack

[thin star]

Do you have any Bluetooth devices connected

[flat sequoia]

And it’s a USB

nope

None

[thin star]

Like a PS5 controller?

[wanton osprey]

This may be one you'd have to google

[thin star]

I have USB, mine is fine

Do you need software downloaded for it?

[wanton osprey]

Google the specific model you have and see if there are anything online about how to fix

[flat sequoia]

I don’t think so..?

[thin star]

https://fifinemicrophone.com/blogs/news/some-refresh-tips-for-usb-microphone-not-being-recognized

Think that’s your mic

[thin star]

Someone has said uninstall the microphone and reinstall it. Since it’s a mic I’m not sure how that works lol - try replug it and see if it asks for access or opens any software up

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ROke8W9n8zM

This is their install guide

[wanton osprey]

ooo maybe the gain is turned all the way down or something?

[flat sequoia]

Oh

My

God

It was that

Thankyou

[half mantle]

edelle was warned for Spamming

[flat sequoia]

This mf was hiding

[wanton osprey]

🤣 So it was muted all along

XD

no worries at least its sorted now 🥳

[thin star]

Lololol

[wanton osprey]

put input volume to 80 ish percent btw just a small tip

100 sounds horrible on most microphones

[agile grove]

Karaoke with Delle on the new PC

[flat sequoia]

fr

[opal birch]

hows the PC going

@flat sequoia

[flat sequoia]

goood so far, currently just organising things

trying to figure out what I want as a background for my monitors

[opal birch]

get wallpaper engine

[flat sequoia]

mhm I got ittt

just dont know what to put

I've so far put stray and eastshade

both are quite high graphics games

[opal birch]

this is mine

[flat sequoia]

ooo

[opal birch]

wallpaper is wallpaper engine

changes colours

and the text is called Rainmeter

[flat sequoia]

oooo

[opal birch]

so many options

[flat sequoia]

dw the msi thing isnt on my screen,

but this is kinda the go to for now

it wains n stuff

[wanton osprey]

Looking good 🔥

[opal birch]

ooooo

very nice

was it worth all the hassle

[thin star]

Lolol

[flat sequoia]

we will find out the rest of this week >:)

[flat sequoia]

I have a question

If anyone is around and available rq

I left my pc alone for a bit and now it’s flashing a blue light, all things have seemed to turn off except the flashing light

Do I oress the power button

To get it back up

Orrrrr something else

Cause moving the mouse and crap isn’t an option LOL

Ah I did it anyways

Andddd now it’s time to reboot everything 💀

If anyone knows what I should do in that case

Lmk

[thin star]

Think it’s just gone into sleep mode

I turned mine to a very long wait before going sleep mode, but usually moving a mouse, Keyboard or pressing the power button on the PC will bring it back when you left off

[flat sequoia]

Hm

Odd

Mouse didn’t work, pressing the power button kinda turned it fully off

I’ll try my keyboard next time

And I’ll change the timer for it to happen to a longer wait

Ty

[daring saffron]

Yeah, when mine goes into sleep mode usually pressing a key on the keyboard wakes it up again

[opal birch]

I've turned off sleep mode altogether on mine

*mostly for the fact that on current internet, I have to leave PC on overnight to install games *

[wanton osprey]

Mine is on like 3 hours or so of inactivity

[agile grove]

XD, Im only on 74mb too, I need based Openreach to hurry up and give us full fibre

[opal birch]

10th of november can't come quick enough

[agile grove]

I dont know when its available in our area, theres like boxes on the poles on the street and apparently Openreach are building in the Exchange but no go live date so people cant order

[opal birch]

yeah it's already gone live here, it's just waiting for the installation since everyone is jumping on it

the goverment is paying the company like £4,500 every house it connects

which means free installation etc

[agile grove]

Ahh mine will be with BT or EE, since in contract still

[opal birch]

funny thing is, the new company is giving us all credit to exit our BT contracts early lol

[agile grove]

Haha only other provider here is Virgin which just went live and they are bad

[flat sequoia]

Got le PC, testing to see what I can do throughout this week 💪

[opal birch]

😄

[flat sequoia]

Upgrades, people. Upgrades.
