Lmao I'm over here literally right now backing up, wiping, and reinstalling windows because the fucking in-place upgrade system is hanging at like 90% completion on referenced files that aren't necessary (user created) but that it can't find, so instead of fucking ignore them it just nopes out and does fuck all. I've been passively trying to fix this for about 18 months, actively for the last 4 days.
I swear to fuck
it's time, friend 🐧
I can't, not on this machine - not yet at least. I'm disabled and use a logi g903 that has side buttons on either side that I use to play fps games (I'm left handed only, so finding an ambidextrous gaming mouse with enough side buttons, that I can remap buttons per-application is like 3 options, before adding 🐧 compatability to the list); and I have two sound blaster cards - one for system and game, one for voice chat - that, with either of them in 5.1 mode, the rear, center, and sub channels are incorrect. No fix worked for me :(
So here I sit, broken hearted, tried to ~~shit but only farted~~ switch but only [got] frustrated 😞
I’m curious about the sound cards? What benefit does such a setup have?
Basically, you can't do 5.1 surround sound (3x 3.5mm) and stereo (headset) + microphone (2x 3.5mm) on the same card. I've been using sound cards since like, 2005? And I hate on-board audio chips. I don't particularly trust the quality (both sound and physical build quality, longevity) of USB-based audio/headsets. Thus I disable the on-board mobo chip and run the two add-on cards.
I'm like an audiophile but on a shoestring budget, so I work with what I have :p
It's the SB AE-5 and SB Z, I'd you're curious.
Thanks for the reply! Thats indeed interesting, and yeah the built in stuff is… not great. The dac itself might be alright but then so much ends up garbage anyway.
I have a g600 and run Linux, hah, but I had set the mouse to onboard memory and then just… can’t change it now. I was looking at how to do that because windows is dead to me for sure.
The sound card stuff is certainly a blast from the past. Haven’t thought about sound blaster in many years!
Linux is ready and great for most people I think, but yeah to your point, the stranger the setup, the more difficult a time you are set for!
Time to become Amish.
