Anything I can do for a broken SteelSeries (9H) headphone cord?

#

Nobody sells replacement parts that I have been able to find. The cord for these headphones is modular and came with multiple extenders and 3.5mm jack modules, but there is only one module for the part that plugs into the headphones themselves.

#

The faulty module has a volume knob and mute toggle, and if I touch the knob the audio will cut out or change the balance between ears (one will be way less loud, seemingly randomly).

echo parrot Mar 7, 2021, 9:30 AM

#

you might just be able to get a 3.5mm cable and splice it or you could get an aux cable

This knob thing. If I get it just right and don't touch it, the headphones work wonderfully.

echo parrot Mar 7, 2021, 9:33 AM

#

so that piece can completely unplug from the headset?

cursive ether Mar 7, 2021, 9:34 AM

#

If I slightly tap it, each ear's volume will be independently randomized (one ear can get super quiet and the other stay normal, for example). However it does seem to get overall louder when I move the knob one way, and quieter the other.

As you can see from the title i have a pair of steelseries 9h, the cable is dying and i want to replace it. I already contacted steelseries and they approved an RMA but shipping costs me 40€ and i would very much prefer just buy a new cable, the problem is I have no clue what kind of cable it is,...

@cursive ether You should be able to cut and splice the cable, but it will almost certainly reduce the quality of audio. That said, you've got 2 sets so what do you really have to lose?
Audio volume control that's inline like that is just a potentiometer with variable resistance. You'll be able to control the volume from source like you said.

cursive ether Mar 7, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

I mean, if I can repair both cords I do get an extra pair of headphones (could use them for VR) so I wouldn't mind

#

What do you think could cause the potentiometer to sort of work (overall the volume does follow the control), but also have such erratic behavior (randomly making one or both ears unequal levels of insanely quiet when I touch the knob)?

ok so basically those options in pro modes can be found in a lot of places, iphones do have some of the capabilites like aperture and shutter speed in certain modes. why I like raw is because some of those like wb shadows, highlights, even all the colors can be individually changed after you had already taken the picture in a app like lightroom of something.
with that aside it looks like you already know what you want which would be some samsung phone

from my understanding oneplus hasn't been as good as some of their previous phones at least on the budget side, idk much tbh haven't looked at the newer ones yet. but for popularity samsung and apple are king one runs ios one android. android has more open software, apple has faster socs, rog phone is definitely in the gamer aesthetic category and can understand why that wouldn't be someones fancy. samsung is essentially the apple in the android market

no please tell about: screen quality & respond time time, speed of cpu & ram, battery & camera

indigo sequoia Mar 18, 2021, 7:36 PM

Well ok, friend! So lets start with the display. I think its really up there in the top. WQHD+ resolution paired with 120hz is deffinetly a nice display. The respond time is really good, snappy, feels like a 2021 flagship. And because of its 888 Snapdragon its one of the most powerful smartphones. About RAM, i got the 8/256GB version (there is a 12/256) but everything that i do with this phone from regular calling to intense gaming, i got no lag. It May reload a couple of games when theyre in the background, but is pretty much normal. The Battery is very good. I always got it on WQHD+/120hz setting, and at that Extreme level, it seems to last about 5-6 hours on my usage. And the camera is awesome. I espiecialy love the Supermoon mode, because of its clever tech to shoot moon pics. Video recording also pretty awesome, and stabilisation is also good. If ya want anything else you can say, friend!

Pros
Attractive curved design with a premium build.
The 6.81" OLED is thoroughly impressive - 1440p 120Hz, bright and color accurate.
The latest Snapdragon 888 chip with 5G.
Stereo speakers, 3.5mm adapter included.
Dependable battery life, blazing-fast charging.
Outstanding photo and video quality across the board.
Android 11 with MIUI 12 is a buttery-smooth combo.
Cons
No telephoto camera.
No official IP rating.
We hoped for longer talk time.
Overheats in our stress tests (though not in any real games).
The highly advertised movie effects are nothing special.

calm mural Mar 30, 2021, 4:41 AM

16 3070s per room

20A x 120V (outlet voltage)

= 2400W

stay under 80% usage

so 1920W

each 3070 pulls 125W

if you do 240V outlet you can pull double the wattage off the same breaker

calm mural buying it as a business

Hey quick question, how many different displays can a single Raspberry drive?

kindred yacht Mar 30, 2021, 3:24 PM

#

Depends on a few different factors such as allocated video memory and screen resolution

tribal thunder Mar 30, 2021, 3:25 PM

#

I am thinking pics not vid, maybe gifs. For resolution decent but not not HD or anything

kindred yacht Mar 30, 2021, 3:26 PM

#

8 MB of video memory is just enough to display a single 1080p image, so how many 1080p images you can display depends on how much video memory it has

#

The math breaks down like this, and can be substituted for different resolutions:
1920 x 1080 = 2073600 pixels
2073600 x 32 = 66355200 bits
66355200 / 8 = 8294400 bytes
8294400 / 1024 = 8100 kilobytes
8100 / 1024 = 7.91015625 megabytes

#

The screen resolution that I have is 480*272

#

So how many separate screens can I push from a Raspberry Pi

kindred yacht Mar 30, 2021, 3:33 PM

#

How much video memory does your Pi have? If you don't know what model is it and I'll look it up

tribal thunder Mar 30, 2021, 3:37 PM

#

I am looking at the Pi Zero but depending on the number of screens that it can drive I may go with the Pi 4

kindred yacht Mar 30, 2021, 3:46 PM

#

640x480 is the minimum screen resolution for the Pi Zero, and each HDMI jack supports one display

#

The Pi 4 has 2 HDMI jacks, and can do 2 displays as such

#

It doesn't appear to be capable of using splitters except maybe the kind that mirror the display on all screens

#

Both are capable of doing 4k video at 60Hz too, which is impressive

Okay thanks this helps.

small meadow Mar 30, 2021, 10:58 PM

#

#

hi

#

so lets say i have a big house

#

and need to get wifi router

#

and i have 200 usd budget

#

how would i prevent dark spots

warped yew Mar 31, 2021, 1:06 AM

#

WiFi range extenders

autumn canyon Mar 31, 2021, 1:06 AM

#

so like get a router

#

and then get extenders

warped yew Mar 31, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

yes

autumn canyon Mar 31, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

ok

#

do you have any recommendations for a router
ease of install and range is #1

fierce hull Mar 31, 2021, 1:08 AM

#

or mesh network

autumn canyon Mar 31, 2021, 1:09 AM

#

i heard that mesh makes the latency increase with every bounce or soemthing

#

anyways ill look into it

#

thx

fierce hull Mar 31, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

I have a mesh network

#

even on bottom floor thru 3 bounces, ping is still below 20

#

avg 13

autumn canyon Mar 31, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

How much more would a mesh network be vs router & extenders

#

Just in general

fierce hull Mar 31, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

idk tbh

#

I have an Eero network, dunno how much it cost

autumn canyon Mar 31, 2021, 1:27 AM

#

Ok

#

Wait for mesh u need a normal router + the mesh network right

fierce hull Mar 31, 2021, 1:27 AM

#

no

autumn canyon Mar 31, 2021, 1:28 AM

#

Oh

#

What are the disadvantages of mesh

#

Apart from the multiple units which isn’t a big deal

sturdy jolt Mar 31, 2021, 1:42 AM

#

@autumn canyon I say do this
