anyone know if the ReplayGain in Foobar ruins the Dynamic Range of the recording?
#windows-ios
craggy tundra
last gorge
shouldn't, if i understand correctly replaygain is supposed to measure the peak levels of a track or albums and adjust the volume of it to reach a target loudness(89dB is the norm), it is not the same as normalization which would be leveling the quieter parts of the recording to be equal. replaygain is for example, if you have one song that is very loud and another very quiet, tries to even it so you aren't bothered by constantly adjusting the volume for those louder or quieter songs
anyone feel free to correct me if i said anything wrong, also i usually use replaygain with album source mode

So weird thing is happening, I'm not getting a post on my new build of a 5600x, asrock steel legend b550. Everything is plugged in fine and just not posting, I sent it to the nearest computer store to give me a bios update and they said still not posting, any ideas/recommendations?

@mint birch i got pro through a similar source, you may have to call into microsoft to validate if you grab it that way
@olive niche try to reset your headphones by pressing volume + & volume- together for 2s and then pairing with your device again. it might be that your buds are still set to pair with your old laptop
mint birch
@balmy kayak do you have a link to where you bought it?
balmy kayak
nope, i have a full version of pro on my comp from that
got it registered with zero issue aside from a quick call to Microsoft that's required during the set up to validate it

It's a prebuilt from 2015-16

@echo kettle it can be the hard drive it's dying

Oh thanks man

@echo kettle when pc crashes with a BSD (Blue Screen of Death) it usually give an error code and a QR code to scan
google that code and it will most likely lead you to an answer
Sometimes it's just incompatible drivers that can cause BSD
echo kettle
Oh ok so I scan that and see what it is
hidden rose
yes, make sure to read for potential solutions
you can also do a RAM (memory) test and Hard Drive (storage) test
RAM tests are usually built into motherboards
one rebooting look for button that says Boot Options
usually it's something like F11
it might be different for his motherboards
from there you run Memory test
you want the Full Memory Test. It should take about an hour or two on average to run
the Storage test can be done from Windows
depending on type of the hard drive you have, there is different methodologies, but the idea is the same - you are looking for bad sectors on the hard drive
google - test hard drive for bad sectors windows
you will find plenty of tools to do that for free

I'm on an old dell that has a 290ish gb hdd, and I have a 240gb intel ssd that i put in there. is there a way to switch the os to the ssd easily?

what are they? I have no idea
hidden rose
what is the brand of your SSD?

Marcium Reflect has a free 30 day trial

ok
tbh I don't really know what I'm doing, but I know the os would run much faster on an ssd
it is snail paced rn
hidden rose
correct. when cloning, your SSD is smaller than your HDD. That means you have to adjust the size of the storage you are cloning

hey guise, what is the best free home firewall software? I'm using Sophos XG right now but wonder if there has been anything cool and new recently
hidden rose
you're welcome
Firewall is a firewall. Most of them are pretty much the same. Best rule of thumb is to block any access to the management aspects of the Firewall from the outside. If you have to, open ports using Access Control Lists, only trusting IPs that you know.
One of the best free ones out there is PFSense
it is a FreeBSD based firewall with open source code architecture
Also check out WRT. It is also open source.
cinder mauve
Eh, thanks for the reply @hidden rose but I don't agree. I feel as if Sophos XG is superior to PFSense, and certainly WRT.
And FirePower and FortiGates blow all of them out the water IMO
but I was hoping there was some new free projects out there besides the standards
Been googling all day for something I heard about the other day but can't remember the name
hidden rose
okay. you have asked for a free solution. those are free decent solutions

Is there a reputable place to buy OEM Windows 10 Pro keys these days?
peak notch
also no, there is no such thing as reputable, or non illegal/grey market OEM keys
if your looking to activate windows, use ebay
its the cheapest and easiest
and honestly most secure
coarse steppe
So don't even buy an OEM key from newegg is your suggestion at this point?
just buy a full retail key from MS?
coarse steppe
Newegg 100% has listing for both OEM and Retail keys with a $50 price difference.
peak notch
if youre gonna buy an OEM key, get it for 3 dollars off ebay
i dont even know how newegg is selling OEM keys
oh i get it
nvm
anyway, my point still stands, if youre gonna get an OEM key, just go to ebay
coarse steppe
Because last time I checked MS is not overly happy with it, but it's not technically a problem they really care about. The OEM is just hardware locked to a single motherboard, vs retail which is transferable.
coarse steppe
Oh well, suppose that's a minimal risk if it does not work shrug
peak notch
ive bought dozens of keys from these kinds of ebay sellers
buy the key the moment you try to put it in, dont get it and sit on it
because if you do and the key doesnt work, you can literally just send a picture of the key not working and they will send a new one
but if you wait until tomorrow, ebay has already taken down the post by then
peak notch
oh, did you already do it?
coarse steppe
Yep
peak notch
nice
coarse steppe
Activated np
peak notch
worst case scenario is ebay takes down the sellers listing before you can send them a pic of the key not working
but even then
you're only out 4 dollars
coarse steppe
Yeah, that's a fair risk for over $100 off
peak notch
i couldnt imagine buying one of these keys for 100+ dollars
the retail keys are alright i guess, but OEM ones like these?
no way
coarse steppe
I used to just buy copies direct from MS because I knew people that worked there, and they'd just give me a copy of windows for like, a bottle of wine or something. That was a fair trade imo.
coarse steppe
Indeed
Ended up with Vista Ultimate day of release that way for a $20 bottle of wine lol

Overclocking gives marginal improvements in performance

It's like upgrading from an RX 580 to an RX 590 that you got for free, or a Ryzen 3600 to a 3600X you got for free

careful overclocking in bios, if you dont know what you are doing you could risk damaging something, afternburner on the other hand is very safe.

Hey y’all. I’m tryna help my friend with his pc. He got a new mobo and cpu and switched from Intel to Ryzen. After he set everything up he got power throughout the whole system but got no display signal. I believe it’s his graphics drivers are deleted. Is it possible to download the driver to a flash drive and put it in the pc from another system. Would the driver work like that?
cinder mauve
The gpu isn't the problem
I don't know the solution but I think I know whats happening
vivid temple
@soft herald the gpu will display "something" even without a driver.
so the problem is most likely something else
tired tapir
Yeah so I talked with @soft herald in general for a bit
It’s a 3700X/B550
So it’s not bios
vivid temple
you checked where he has the display connected?
tired tapir
I wonder if the display port is properly plugged in and is going to the right port on the monitor
soft herald
Same thing happened to me and I brought it to micro center and they said they had reinstalled the drivers to my gpu, which means they were missing. And I had the same problem. I knew it was my gpu
vivid temple
that makes zero sense

the gpu "will" work. as in, it will display something.

Yes monitor is plugged in. He double checked and replugged multiple times
cinder mauve
Did he select the correct input in the monitor such as it plugged into display port and is selected hdmi
soft herald
Yea.
cinder mauve
Is display port cable plugged into the gpu and not the mobo
If so then just try reseating the ram
soft herald
Yk actually I wanna say it is, but that’s a good point. I vaguely remember him replugging in some ports on the back on the case. I wasn’t paying full attention cause I was on ft while in target with my cousin and brother. But one of the plugs he unplugged was above the other two. And I don’t think his gpu has two level of slots. Gpu only come with like 3-5 vertically placed ports right?
cinder mauve
Are you with the pc right now

yea I’ll make him reseat the ram tmr too. I was gonna get to that eventually, but my phone died to early :(

when u boot up a pc for the first time u need the installation media from another computer onto a flash drive. that media is windows 10. itll ask for a product key and u can say u dont have one. if u never put on in then u can use 99% of your computer, to get the product key u have to buy windows 10 from microsoft or a third party dealer for cheaper. and they give u a product key to put into your pc
when u pay u are paying for the product key not the OS
that unlocks the accesories for the OS
and yes, u can chnage your background without having a product key, which is why i didnt buy windows.
rustic yacht
ok, so you dont need to buy windows, you can just download it onto a flash drive and then you pay for the product key?

I built a pc 2 weeks ago and all was good and today i ran star wars battlefront 2 and the pc just turned off and has been just turning on and off and loading
Without stopping
And every once an a while i get the messages in the screenshots above but anything i select just makes me go through the loading cycle again
And i just cant get to my desktop whatsoever
feral portal
Can someone help me?
And in case i left out anything it starts here

windows is buggered up
needs a fresh install
get 8gb or larger usb, boot from it and install windows
all data on the current ssd will be lost
if this is problematic, then youre gonna have to go through this whole thing where you pull data off the drive
if the installation is successful and everything seems to be ok, ill have you run prime95
if system crashes, then funky psu, if it doesnt, sounds like your gpu needs to be RMA'd
of course, running P95 on a funky psu may damage other components, if its messed up enough, but you dont really have any other way to test the psu
feral portal
But how do i even leave this endless loop
@peak notch
Anything i do from the blue menu just puts me back in it
last gorge
booting the usb with windows install on it from bios boot menu should be fine
feral portal
Thats gonna take a while then

Oi, smart people, I've got windows on my PC (the free version) and I use it for gaming, 3D design and coding, should I make the switch to Linux
rocky cedar
If you don't have a need for it, there's no need, since you get more compatibility on Windows.
Linux is powerful, if you know how to use it.

Kk, thx

I am trying to swap a 500gb sk hynix gold ssd into a laptop that had a 500gb hdd. At first I used minitool partition wizard (as I usually do, this is my fourth time doing this). When I tried to boot from the ssd I got a black screen with the capital letter J in the top left corner. I am assuming that this has something to do with drive partitions but I'm not a pro with this stuff. Does anybody know what is going on here or possibly how to fix it? This is the laptop - htt ps://www.cnet.com/products/hp-g72-260us-17-3-core-i3-350m-windows-7-home-premium-64-bit-4-gb-ram-320-gb-hdd-series/ (the link is split in the https bc you can't send the link in this channel)
feral portal
Ok so i finished downloading windows on the usb and plugged it
And i almost spoke too fast to say that my desktop is finally showing but a second later it stopped working
So for now its working
Idk if i dare running star wars battlefront again
feral portal
Yeah
peak notch
extract the files, then run it

Hello I'm having a problem with booting windows, everytime I boot bios does open but restarts when it reaches the windows logo
copper kettle
Wat how ⊂(・▽・⊂)
runic geyser
is this your first time installing windows or have you done it before
like is this a new build
copper kettle
It's not a new build but I had to replace the power supply
runic geyser
did it happen after u replaced psu?
copper kettle
Ye and I replaced it because the other one went bad
dusky prawn
sounds like mb or something is bad
runic geyser
^^
psu maybe broke something when it went out lol
just try a clean install of windows
runic geyser
Ye and I replaced it because the other one went bad
you have a spare pc?
copper kettle
no :/
dusky prawn
check the switch on the back its probably not it but start with the simple stuff
does anything happen when you hit the power buttonj
@copper kettle
copper kettle
it boot to bios
copper kettle
ye
dusky prawn
check if you can see your hdd or ssd in the bios
copper kettle
just to let u know the pc is a Dell xps 420
copper kettle
checking
dusky prawn
also what brings you to this server just looking for help with the problem?
copper kettle
oh! tbh i wanted to build my own pc for about 1k, so i asked about what parts i needed and recomennded, but before, my dad said if i fixed the computer i got to keep it so i said yes and got a new power supply scnse that was the problem. and also got thermal paste for the cpu today and ran into this issue
dusky prawn
did you attempt to apply the paste?
copper kettle
yes
dusky prawn
2 questions 1 did the hdd show up 2 did it say anything about mounting pressure
copper kettle
btw where do i go see if the HHD is reading :/
seconds question awnser is no
had no problems with cpu
dusky prawn
easiest way is to go to the boot order and see if the drive is there
ok
make sure to monitor the temps of the CPU for awhile just to make sure the paste is on good
dusky prawn
so it looks like the drive is there set it to the first in the list
you have 2 in there a 1tb hitachi drive and a 120gb seagate
the seagate is probably the boot drive'
thats the ST31
copper kettle
So like this
dusky prawn
yeo
copper kettle
k
dusky prawn
set the hitachi to 2
dusky prawn
should be fine it will check the hitachi for a os then the seagate
copper kettle
k
dusky prawn
if it finds one it will boot it]
dusky prawn
hit f1
copper kettle
k
dusky prawn
i think it was in raid you might have no data
copper kettle
what does that mean?
dusky prawn
if it wont boot check if more drives are in it that are not pluged in
raid lets you run multiple drives as one drive but depending on how its configured if you pull a drive out or it dies all the data on all of the drives is gone
for most people raid is more trouble than its worth
but it can be supper useful if you have to store very very large files
copper kettle
Neat
dusky prawn
use it to make a windows install disk but tbh i just looked up the specks of that pc your laptop most likely blows it out of the water
copper kettle
Oof
dusky prawn
its a real dino no offence
copper kettle
No offense at all xD
copper kettle
In not really pissed about that 🤣 just sad now XD
Oofed
Tbh if I could get a used but working PC I would :l
copper kettle
XD
dusky prawn
its slow but Should be able to run win 10
copper kettle
Lol
dusky prawn
but its not going to be gaming
copper kettle
Ye expected that xD
dusky prawn
on your laptop get the windows media creation tool
and make your flash drive in to a windows boot disk that will let you install windows to the drives in that system
dusky prawn
the first link is the tool the second is a comparison site that will let you compare the performance of any 2 pc parts
copper kettle
Okay
The media Creation tool is downloaded
Just boot the PC with the usb inserted?
copper kettle
How to run tool :/
dusky prawn
just launch it on your laptop it should be a EXE file
copper kettle
copper kettle
Ye
dusky prawn
i can help you find some parts in your price range
copper kettle
It's to bad that I just turned 18 and don't have a job ⊂(・﹏・⊂)
copper kettle
ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
dusky prawn
hit create install media
copper kettle
K
dusky prawn
just keep applying dont worry if you are qualified for the job or not
dusky prawn
english X64 and home
copper kettle
For motivation
dusky prawn
np
dusky prawn
not even kidding i applied for a repair tech at a Costco with nothing but a HS diploma and got intervewed for it
USB
yea
dusky prawn
they ended up giving the job to somebody else but offered me a job else where in the store so thats where i work now
take the job
copper kettle
Noice
dusky prawn
its minimum wage but your way more likely to be hired if you already have a job
copper kettle
Ye true
dusky prawn
i got to go to bed
dusky prawn
so let me type out the rest of the instructions DM me if you need more help
copper kettle
Ok
dusky prawn
once its installed to the usb plug it in to the other pc and go back to the boot list and set the flash drive to 1
boot it
then follow the prompts to start the instillation
when it restarts go back to the bios and set the hdd you installed windows to as 1 on the boot list and unplug the flash drive
dusky prawn
turn it back on and follow the prompts again
then your done
you should have a fresh copy of windows
OH
copper kettle
?
dusky prawn
its going to ask for a product key but they should be a button that says "I don't have a product key" or something like that hit that button
copper kettle
K
copper kettle

Night cool person (づ￣ ³￣)づ
did it work? I can take over helping from here if it didnt :))
copper kettle
im just waiting on the usb flash drive to get the copy of windows 10 so far
its on the longer prosess of creating the windows 10 media
plus im learning so much tonight its fasinating
runic geyser
wdym?
copper kettle
well i mostly know how to put a pc togeather but didnt know anything about the software needed to start or set up a working computer : )
so today i learned alot 😄
@runic geyser want to listen to spotifiy with meh :0
copper kettle
oof
oh well XD
so what do u do? as in what u do in the discord :0
just to pass time XD
copper kettle
same XD
runic geyser
amazon time
copper kettle
same idea to lol
btw you boot the pc using the flash drive right is the screen susposed to be blank?
and how long is the prosess
runic geyser
uhhhh did u choose uefi or legacy
timber mango
@vivid temple yeah
vivid temple
where did you get the idea that your machine does not support webgl?
timber mango
Just downloaded the Minecraft launcher, clicked on skins and it says “Sorry! Your device does not support WebGL, which is required to manage skins.”
timber mango
Ye
vivid temple
have you installed all the drivers ?
(if you have no idea what i am asking about, please say so :) )
vivid temple
ive been using it for close to the last 10 years
timber mango
Just downloaded the Minecraft launcher, clicked on skins and it says “Sorry! Your device does not support WebGL, which is required to manage skins.”
This
How do I get WebGL working?
runic geyser
@vivid temple tried patchmypc? Its like better ninite lol
runic geyser
Wrong actually
Patchmypc is a portable app
At least the home updater is
It is literally just better ninite
runic geyser
True
But it is very nice, have used it for years
It absolutely slaughters ninite imo
Have used it to deploy apps on thousands of systems lol
vivid temple
meaning, it is yet another "barrier" to actually use it for new builders
and ninite is what i recommend for consumers.
runic geyser
Just run the exe, click what u want, and click install
Try it, youll instantly change from ninite lol
vivid temple
you are missing the point
runic geyser
How so?
vivid temple
i dont use ninite at work
runic geyser
I mean id hope not lol
Im just saying for average users, this has more “average user” stuff than ninite does, especially for gamers, which is the target demographic here
vivid temple
except, it requires more "faith" in the person telling them to do something
runic geyser
Thats also true
vivid temple
which is NOT a good thing
runic geyser
I just post virustotal results when people think my tools are sus lol
But im nit saying ninite is bad either, it still does the job
vivid temple
its a low effort tool that covers 99.999% of what people actually need
on the regular consumer side of things
runic geyser
Yep
vivid temple
KISS is very much in effect on this :)
runic geyser
Hehehehehehehe true
That being said, great tool if you need to set up a machine of your own super quick
vivid temple
aye aye

shadow jay
this channel is kinda dead 🤣
rocky cedar
@shadow jay you say that and #500103216466362379 exists
vivid temple
@shadow jay a lot of the activity here is a question asked, and then solved in a dm
shadow jay
ow special care
vivid temple
which makes this channel appear a lot more "dead"
its just that a lot of people dont want to risk showing things they shouldnt
and/or dont know how to formulate the questions they actually want to ask
shadow jay
hmm i see
vivid temple
and also, for a lot of the actual problems that get solved here, it would just create needless frustration on the user side if 10 people chimed in at the same time :)

timber mango

timber mango
Ok
timber mango

gaunt spade

gaunt spade
hmm... that looks ok. it definitely knows it has the hardware and driver
what do you use to connect your devices
timber mango
Then why is it saying my Bluetooth is turned off and not giving me a way to turn it on

I'm having problem with window 10, i'm stuck on a old version and i cannot update or make a usb flash to reinstall window 10 on my new ssd m.2, my pc just hard crash, i've got a virus i was able to snag a old version on win 10 elsewhere, but now my problem is i cannot detect the usb flash drive in my bio, i've been tweaking my bio for a whole day, no result, i usually fix my own software/hardware problem, but at this point i need some help. i'm using the MSI b450M gaming plus
small fern
I'm a little confused whats happening here and what has happened so far.
@orchid cliff
high tulip

I'm on win 10 version 1902, i knew i had a problem but i put it aside cause of work, i've been sitting on this 500gb ssd m.2 for months now, but since i'm getting my new video card this week, i need a fresh install. and yeah my usb just doesn't show in the boot option in my bio, it's a real pain
small fern
so when you try and update windows it crashes?
orchid cliff
yep crash hard, forcing the pc to reboot.
small fern
do you have a disc drive?
orchid cliff
I do
small fern
if you can't get the usb to work maybe make a windows 10 install disc on a dvd
and then repair your install
instead of reinstalling
orchid cliff
problem is dvd on win10 not something common, i sold my dvd writter years ago
small fern
mmmmmm
small fern
try updating drivers for the usb flash drive
just update all usb drivers, format the flash drive, and freshly put the windows 10 installer onto it
soft herald
This might sounds dumb, but is the drive big enough
orchid cliff
32gb so yes
soft herald
ok
orchid cliff
i format the flash drive like 3 time so far
orchid cliff
with rufus
small fern
What format are you formatting it to
