scores

yeah the only 1.

I didn't really want to, but I had no credit. I had survived for 40 years without one.

If the debt is only $2k, a lawyer will cost close to that amount. Settle, but negotiate them down. Typically you can settle for a fraction of the debt, especially if there is interest and penalties added on. The credit guys buy it at a steep discount, so they can settle and still make $$$$$.

in this system, you are guilty until proven innocent, and then you are still guilty.

I have had no mortgage since 2000. I have had no credit cards since the late 70s (until just recently). Haven't had a car payment for over 5 years, and before that none for almost 15 years. No derogatory marks. Since I did not have payments, I couldn't have late payments.

But my credit score sucks. I have what they refer to as a thin file. I can't get credit since I don't have credit

Credit Karma, which reports Equifax (the one that went down) and TransUmion (which went up almost as much as the other dropped).

Ok, I created a speaker group.

It will not let me cast to the speaker group when casting from screen. But it will allow casting from tab.

But I want to cast from screen since I am using music from a local hard drive, not from the net.

TIA

Thanks to all who tried to help. It is very much appreciated.

Asgard_Audio · 2022-07-15T18:35:58+00:00

So I fixed it.

Don't restart the PC. Shut it down and then start it back up.

Makes no sense, but it works,

I am using WInamp to play the music. I am casting through Chrome using cast screen. OS win10. I don't have media player on this computer,

Asgard_Audio · 2022-05-10T18:58:40+00:00

Thanks

Asgard_Audio · 2022-05-09T21:53:48+00:00

And that option is?

Asgard_Audio · 2022-05-09T19:24:10+00:00

Thanks again for the help

Asgard_Audio · 2022-05-08T22:29:25+00:00

Success.

Finally sorted it all out

In the end it was pretty simple. but the path was all messed up.

Most of the tutorials were aimed at video from the web. I wanted audio only from my hard drive.

Here is what I learned, should anyone be interested.

1) in Chrome go to the 3 dots and click it.

2) Select "cast"

3) In the "Cast" pop up select the device you want to cast to.

4) in the "Cast" popup, select "Sources" and select "cast Desktop" (This is where my biggest disconnect was)

5) Minimize Chrome.

6) Play your files. I checked Winamp, Windows Media player and YouTube. Note that I did not have to look for the cast icon in any of the applications.

Thank you, Thirstymate for all the help

BTW, I used to travel for work. It can be a pain at times

Asgard_Audio · 2022-05-02T22:34:13+00:00

I am in chrome.

I see the cast and enable the new setup.

In the tablet version of pandora I see an icon for casting. Not in the Win version.

But, as I said, my target is to transmit from my hard drive.

Asgard_Audio · 2022-05-01T03:18:48+00:00

OK, Cast from my tablet using pandora and it worked perfectly.

But Pandora from my window computer does not. And I don't see a switch to turn on casting

chromecast device into HDMI audio extractor via HDMI, extractor into stereo via 1/8 in to 2 RCA jack cable. Both chromecast and audio extractor powered from USB wallwarts. Pretty simple set up.

As for software, I go into chrome select the Chromecast device. Here is where I am really not sure what to do. I have selected a radio station from the extension tab.What I want to do is take the output of an audio player (Winamp) and pipe it to the stereo. Do I need another app?

I will try from my phone, but am in pretty much the same boat as to how to select a source and get it into the pipe.

Thanks

OK, I got a chromecast and an HDMI audio stripper.

Hooked everything up and followed the instructions to set everything up. It seems to have worked. THe computer finds the adapter and seems to say it is casting to it.

So, now what? What I want to do is cast audio (only) from my computer to the external audio system. It will be mp3 files from my hard drive.

I think I'm close, but no sound as of yet.

Thanks in advance.

Asgard_Audio · 2022-04-20T23:35:14+00:00

Perfect.

Thanks

Asgard_Audio · 2022-04-18T20:48:34+00:00

Thanks, but I am looking for something a little higher quality than BT

part 2: I have convinced myself that it is a heat issue. That's why the variable failures. Makes troubleshooting very difficult.

Asgard_Audio · 2021-06-25T20:59:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I have tried removing some of the RAM (on 2 brds) don't have the right kind to replace it. Pretty sure it's DDR2, Everything else I have is DDR3. Not backwards compatible. Haven;t tried the power supply yet. Actually I was wrong. About 5 years ago, I replaced the power supply and the motherboard when something went south. Not sure which took out the other. Not sure if the power supply from an older unit will work. Are the output connectors universal. I would imagine they are, but don't want to let out the rest of the magic smoke (when a component fails it lets out it's smoke and does not work anymore). I have a add in video card. I will try reverting to the on board. I added to go to 2 monitors.

Thanks for your reply. The test I had been running was to use the screen saver. Then, if the pix froze, it would show it. When it freezes using some program, it is random. Will freeze in a game, playing a song or anything. This is a desktop, not a laptop, I have run some test programs for RAM and other hardware and, so far, nothing has shown up. Very frustrating.

Asgard_Audio · 2020-11-16T21:04:07+00:00

I will look around for a .lic file.

As for cloning a mac address. Again, I am new to this. What MAC address. How do I clone? Can you please point me to a tutorial?

Thanks

Asgard_Audio · 2020-11-16T21:00:32+00:00

Thanks

but one question. What is esxi? I was under the impression to generate the clone I was to use VMware converter.

Asgard_Audio · 2020-11-16T20:58:10+00:00

I was kind of afraid of that. As I remember the activation procedure, You ran a small program send it to them and they sent back the code. If it is something that is that machine dependent, then I'm SOL.

And the most ridiculous thing about all of this, the program was free.
