@west hornet what software should I use to adjust bass and stuff
queen sigil
for some reason there is like no bass
yeah this is what im getting
ig ima just leave some rando sounds on while not using them
rigid valve
the idea of blasting your headphones to make them sound better doesnt make sense to me
rigid valve
but also my headphones do sound different than slightly before
they feel less muffled
more highs
rigid valve
If you are getting No Bass from Starfields, that's super weird.
agree
sly warren
Starfields are a fairly Harmon Neutral headphone, a little Bassier than true Harmon Neutral.
rigid valve
moondrop stuff is way more harman neutral that i would have thought
sparks are actually like
almost perfect
sly warren
Either that or you are accustomed to more bass than what audiophiles consider normal amounts of bass.
Yeah, I was going to get Sparks, until the AT&T guy showed me he had some Galaxy Buds Plus.
And so, bundling the Buds+ with a Case for my phone, and putting it on a payment plan, was only 16 USD/month.
So, my new phone is costing me 26 USD/Month before the Line Fee.
10 for the phone, 16 for the accessories.
rigid valve
And so, bundling the Buds+ with a Case for my phone, and putting it on a payment...
oh
thats nice
sly warren
But, Buds+ are 👌
rigid valve
i would call this harman neutral
a little "brighter" ig
more highs less bass
but barely
not a noticable amount imo
sly warren
Ye, a tad bright for true neutral.
rigid valve
3db less of bass is gonna be hard to notice
sly warren
Ye
Also for the people who like using Bluetooth Audio, the Switch now FINALLY supports Bluetooth Audio.
Though it does limit the number of Wireless controllers you can use...
But, that'll probably give me yet another good use for my Buds+
All
The OLED switch isn't even out yet.
I'm probably skipping the OLED switch and just buying a Steam Deck.
I have at least 3, if not more games that I'd kill to play on the Steam Deck.
Last Epoch, Monster Hunter World, and Monster Hunter Rise are already 3 games I want to play on the Steam Deck. Terraria would be good too.
My laptop is sadly not powerful enough for Gaming.
There's only so much a GeForce 940M can do.
Even Linux couldn't free it from the shackles of less than 60 FPS
Though it can run Minecraft fairly well.
Yeah, but it sadly can't play Team Fortress 2...

You've never played Team Fortress 2?

any good 4k webcam? last weekend i saw a 4k webcam at best buy store
sly warren
4K Webcams aren't worth it.
sudden meteor
so why is that? i have a starlink internet
sly warren
If you are doing Youtube Recordings, just buy a DSLR. If you are doing Discord or Video Calls, you are just going to be compressed down to 1080p anyway.
sudden meteor
im a deaf guy. i want to talk at as such zoom video chat
sly warren
Internet Speed =/= Picture Quality captured by Discord or other Video Calling services.
A 1080p webcam will do you just fine for Zoom calls.
And Zoom likely can't even pick up more than 1080p anyways.
sudden meteor
if it wasnt zoom.. there is purple vrs app or sorenson app.
sly warren
Eh wot?
sudden meteor
its a app for deaf people
sly warren
Most apps can't pick up a 4K video signal.
Wel
Ok
They CAN, but it usually gets compressed down to 1080p
sudden meteor
interesting. well i heard about sorenson's new model they say it can do 4k video chat.
thats the one i was talking about
sly warren
Overkill would be buying a Sony Mirrorless Camera and using THAT as your Webcam.
rigid valve
there are different levels of overkill
sudden meteor
all right. i will go with 1080p webcam.. uh what what, Skiptrace? i havent thought of that method... lol
yeah overkill definiton
sly warren
Looks like they recommend using Logitech webcams.
rigid valve
yeah logi is like the hot thing it would appear
sly warren
Logitech's overkill Webcam is the Brio
rigid valve
@sudden meteor ghosty probably knows the most out of anyone here
in terms of webcams
sudden meteor
i heard about the brio price.. its aroudn 200 damn.
sly warren
rigid valve
honestly when it comes to audio and video id just ask ghosty if you catch him
sly warren
TBH, I'd probably buy a Brio just for it's Windows Hello support.
rigid valve

sudden meteor
thank you very muuucchhh
rigid valve

if you wanna complain about me simping for ghosty then you can cry in the corner
sudden meteor
dont worry about it. im satifised with information i needed
rigid valve
Hi
sly warren
Though, that webcam you just recommended I might buy eventually.
I already have one of the mid-tier Logitech 1080p webcams.
But, this one seems a little nicer.

They’ve been around for a pretty line time pretty sure they were the first mics
They were invented in the 30s I’m pretty sure

omg i leave for just a few hours and someone put my laptop and tablet on a piano bench for someone to sit on 
ok i can't see it because I don't have a analog output hooked up to my pc but the easiest way would be windows enhancements, go to sound control panel, select playback device, properties, enhancements, equalizer. it would be here i believe
you can try looking if there are any good 3rd party system wide equalizers if that doesn't work, but there are none I know of straight away
sly warren
Equalizer APO and Peace EQ
sly warren
I don't tend to recommend EQ'ing at all. But, if you want to do it, that's the easiest way.
west hornet

Yeah so you can get a pack of Sprit or TX springs

And, you better pray to god you have a Hotswap board, otherwise it's going to be a major pain in the ass to spring swap. Mostly because you can't do it while the switch is installed on the board.

light can make movement blurry to not blurry

13 Million Volts at 0.00001A would likely feel like a tickle. Voltage doesn't matter. Amperage does.
There's a reason why Car Batteries will shock the poop out of you. They are high Amperage.

The average Car Battery holds around 550 to 650 Cold Cranking Amps
But, it's only 12v
west hornet
idk anymore i see so many people argue about voltage vs amperage killing you
sly warren
And the people who argue are stupid, it's the Amperage, not Voltage. Simple physics.
west hornet
i thought it was amp but not too long ago i saw someone trying to explain the changes in voltage or something which is why people think high voltage can't necessarily kill you blah blah blah idk electrical engineering
but in short there is no short answer of "it's amps that kill you" or "its voltage that kills you"
just not that simple
white flame
Think of how small the battery in a taser is. It's not going to kill you, it's basically a couple AA batteries converted to maximum voltage and minimum amperage.
(exceptions like heart conditions blah blah)

Yup I'm on a Ryzen 5 2600, the MB is the Aorus B450 Elite
Let me try updating Bios
white flame
This one came out a few days ago https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_b450-aorus-elite_f63b.zip
calm cobalt
Thanks
When I extract the ZIP I get these
Should I just run the .exe?
O snap I can't send pics
white flame
I know what you're talking about, that's ok
calm cobalt
There's a .bat file, a .63b file, Efiflash.exe, and a TXT file
white flame
Best way is to go into bios and tell it to flash that file that ends with the 63b
calm cobalt
Alright, I'll try to do it right away
I’m in the Bios, there's MIT, System, BIOS, Peripherals, Chipset, Power, Save and Exit @white flame
Which ones the correct menu to flash the new bios ?
white flame
Probably under bios? I'm not 100% in gigabyte menu
Either that or system
It's probably called q-flash or something
white flame
Ah well good to know
calm cobalt
I need to update Bios right?
white flame
Yes
This will reset your bios to default settings too so you'll need to go back and enable XMP for your memory and whatever other settings you've changed
white flame
Uh oh, is it able to reboot at least?
calm cobalt
I can manually reboot using the button on the front panel but not on the computer itself
It's completely frozen
Ok I rebooted
In Bios update, I got Extend, Boot Recovery, System Volume Information?
🧐
white flame
Something went wonky there
calm cobalt
Hmm
white flame
Maybe just use the exe after all lol
It's a little more risk doing it that way but this way seems to have failed
calm cobalt
It's a little more risk doing it that way but this way seems to have failed
Ok I'll use the ewe
Exe
I mean if it works that's what counts for me 🙂
This app can't run on your PC
To find a version for your PC, check with the software's publisher
Feel like something's wrong with my computer 😭
white flame
Try the bat file, it's an automated script
calm cobalt
I can't attach screenshots
But this is what happens when I run the Bat file
O damn I can't send links either
Unsupported 16 Bit application

Shame on gigabyte for shipping a 16 bit app when literally everything needs to use x64 these days
calm cobalt
😭
white flame
Ah I see why, they have it intending for you to use it as a dos boot disk, which is... odd, these days
calm cobalt
What's that lol I'm a beginner in the field
white flame
Their instructions still tell you to use floppy disks, it's not your fault lol
white flame
Yes there's one more way
calm cobalt
Hope it'll end up working
white flame
Do you have the gigabyte app center installed?
white flame
Ok, install this first https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Utility/mb_utility_app_center_B20.0723.1.zip
Then reboot and install this https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Utility/mb_utility_atbios_B21.0208.1.zip
calm cobalt
Alright gimme a few
white flame
That'll install the gigabyte tool to update the bios from within the OS
white flame
Open the app center and the @ bios app should be there
calm cobalt
Yup, it is
white flame
Good, run that and see what it says. It'll probably say something about an update available.
calm cobalt
Yup,
white flame
Hit update from server
calm cobalt
Oh alright bet
white flame
Since they're an Asian company most of their hardware is there
white flame
Sure
white flame
That's fine, update from file and find the 63b file
That's what I get for trying to save you a step I guess
calm cobalt
I'mwriting the file
calm cobalt
That's what I get for trying to save you a step I guess
Think it worked
Shows this now after rebooting
white flame
Yep that's the new version all right
calm cobalt
Thanks bro
white flame
Hopefully that helps with your USB issues. I had similar problems on my X470.
calm cobalt
Do I need to reset the XMP setting stho?
white flame
Yeah you'll need to go into bios and reset that
white flame
I wish you luck from here, I need to get some sleep. It's only 5:30 AM here.

How the hell did you break a Meizu Dongle?
Or an Apple Dongle. I don't know which you bought.
I've had my Meizu dongle for almost a year now with no issues.

sly warren
Nope
little crater
from what ive read, it was never worth 450
but at 150, it seems competent for a headphone amp/dac
sly warren
For a budget of 150 you could get a Dongle and a Magni
Actually, a little cheaper than 150 depending on which dongle you buy.
little crater
but would that be better in some way over the convenience of having the dac and amp in one package?
sly warren
That's the V2 iirc

sly warren
Oh, lame they canned the V1
I'm still flabbergasted that Rommy's dongle just broke after a week of use.
I'd kill to know how.
sly warren
That is fair. I've just never heard of them break
west hornet
The ksc75 is ok but you just have to understand some people prioritize looks over the sound

this is why ghosty good techie

@sly warren as a side note, although my Meizu dongle didn't break, but it seems there might be some issues with tolerances w usb-c, it's too loose in terms of if I nudge it a bit, it'll disconnect.

But if you are buying an item to produce sound, you should care about the sound it produces. If you want something to wear on your ears for looks, buy earmuffs
rigid valve
And that’s fine
But people do prioritize looks sometimes
Which is what we’ve been trying you to understand for the past weeks
sly warren
But, looks are constantly changing so why bother? Every year something else is in vogue, and last year's thing is out.
rigid valve
Headphone fashion is not nearly as volatile as that
sly warren
Looks are fleeting, performance will never stop getting better.
rigid valve
But ok
sly warren
I mean, I'd say headphone looks are pretty volatile. Look at the WF1000XM3's and then the XM4's

That's super weird. I've never heard of the Meizu Dongle just dying like that.
I'd ask for an RMA

That's impossible.

Someone could roll up saying they don’t see either and they could be correct as well

That's impossible.
Some people are completely tone deaf
rigid valve
My point, is the XM3 shape is not really popular.
But that’s not really true
Circular and oblong have always been going back and forth
It’s not a radical change
sly warren
Some people are completely tone deaf
If there is a human being that is so tone deaf they can't tell the difference between Beats and Susvara, I will donate 50 dollars to charity

Fun fact, you can donate your tax return and then write it off on your taxes
split nimbus
Getting a tax return is not a function of how much you make, it's based on how much is withheld from what you make
sly warren
I make 9.38/hr at Part Time
rigid valve
I don't make enough to get a Tax Return.
I don’t think that’s how tax returns work
split nimbus
If your employer withheld more, you'd get a tax return
sly warren
That's how Tax Returns work when your income is low enough.
I physically don't make enough money to have money to withhold
split nimbus
I can confirm it isn't
sly warren
Lol no
split nimbus
I made 8/hr part time at some point, still got a tax return
west hornet
Fun fact, i went to college for 1 day
sly warren
I made 0.00 while I was in college.
split nimbus
It was a whopping $3.52, but it was still a return
sly warren
My statement isn't wrong though. I physically don't make enough money from my employer to have enough to withhold more towards taxes.
split nimbus
That's still not how it works
sly warren

They still exist
And you can still file for one
split nimbus
I don't know about state, but you can have money withheld for federal taxes no matter how much you make
Most areas don't tax you if you make under a certain threshold
sly warren
If I did, I couldn't live. I don't make enough to withhold more than exactly the amount needed for the IRS to be happy.
split nimbus
That said, with the amount of money skip can dump into audio equipment I would hope that's not the case
rigid valve
You have to make like 10 12k a year from what I’ve seen
To file for a return
And tbh
If you can afford all this tech stuff
Like
sly warren
I don't dump that much money.
rigid valve
You’re either budgeting really badly or you make enough to file for a return
split nimbus
You'll pay sales tax, but no income tax or anything
rigid valve
Or both
sly warren
At most I've done 400 this year on audio.
rigid valve
Heh
split nimbus
That's like four months of food
sly warren
200 on my headphones, and 200 on my Schiit Stack.
split nimbus
Lets see, last I spent on audio equipment was in november

Last time I spent my own money on audio was uh

37.35 after shipping and tax

200 on my headphones, and 200 on my Schiit Stack.
What about all that other equipment you have first hand experience with?
Those couldn't have been cheap
rigid valve
My man you’re either seriously lying about your income or you have no living overhead
sly warren
HD558's were 70 off ebay. All of my IEMs total to like, 200. None of them were over 100 individually. M50X's were free, PC37X was like, 3 years ago and 100 bucks.
sly warren
I wish I had living overhead. But living is expensive.
split nimbus
Then stop wasting that much of your yearly food budget on audio
rigid valve
And file for a tax return kekw
split nimbus
That too
sly warren
And get 0.00 dollars for it.
rigid valve
Riiiiight
sly warren
I tried to file last year, I would have gotten 0 dollars.

Also I was pretty sure it's illegal not to file
Only if you make over the required income
