What do you mean by see if its set properly?

 

 

tried droppin this down to 16 bit, but when i turn it up it still cuts out, but only when theres bass

[lord_casek]

What is the speaker configuration? Is your surround sound set properly?

Bass turned up too high?

[T4M*]

Try connecting it to the back panel, dont think it will make a difference, but you never know.

 

 

if not, the problem might be your speaker set up. Did the sub came with the other speakers or did its a separate one? that could be the problem too.

 

Disconnect the sub, run test.

Still distorts, check if wires are connected properly. ( + with + , - with -) [more than likely one of the speakers is hooked reversed]

still distorts, connect it to something else and run some test.

 

If distortion still happens, its your speakers itself.

what now, just stop using torrents and lay low, or stop seeding a certain torrent that i go?

i moved and am now borrowing internet from an unknowing neighbor. My laptop

catches the signal but my desktop which is way nicer and newer doesn't see the open

network. Until i can come up on the money to sort this out correctly is there anything i

can do for the desktop? like an antenae?

Yeah, you can buy an external antenna that is much better for under $30

My Opera, Firefox, and IE have all been losing connection to the internet when i try to go on certain sites, or when I click on links.

My network bar shows I have excellent signal(Imnext to the router) but i still get the Opera cant connect or whatever broswer im on. This is annoying as fuck

Have you checked for malware?

[Silba]

Have you checked for malware?

 

Yes, I ran a full system scan on Avast, and ran Ccleaner to clean everything up. hasnt happened now for about 2 hours, but still.

How often was it happening before? Also: if you can find it, tuneup utilities is a good thing to run. Might clear up your problem without having to figure it out manually.

Every 5 minutes, some spurts would last up to 2 minutes. at its worst it was happening every other click

try tuneup. if it doesn't work, let me know and we'll go through this step by step until we find the cause.

[CLICKCLACKONER]

just got a new desktop. downloaded avast, what else do i need? also is there an easy way to get rid of the bloatware without fucking up my computer? i picked up an HP p6674y.

[T4M*]

ugh, i hate it when i get a new comp or have to restore a comp and re-download all the things i need.

 

You are pretty much set, you just need to update everything.

 

Run Windows Update.

Update Flash.

Update Adobe Script.

Update Windows Media Player

Update Windows Live

 

Things To Download:

Anything other than Internet Explorer (Firefox, your Choice)

CCleaner

Peer Block

 

 

Thats all I can think of right now. I dont know what you normally run, like Itunes and such. Other than that, your are pretty much set.

[CLICKCLACKONER]

as far as peer block, will that protect me when i'm downloading torrents? does it just run in the background or do i have to turn it on everytime i download?

[T4M*]

yes, peer block will block communication with advertising or spyware oriented servers, computers monitoring your p2p activities, computers which have been "hacked".

 

I have it on all the time, just in case.

[lord_casek]
