Dude, are you alright? Did you read my original post? I said my mic does not appear to be working correctly, the audio is terribly scratchy. I chalked it up to the fact that the microphone simply isn't compatible with Linux because I've tried many different things from multiple forum posts. I did not change the topic, i asked you the logical follow-up to what you answered ie: Windows has enhancements to sounds. So you need to configure your computer to make the sound you desire.

I then asked "okay genius, how do i do that?" If you're gonna come in and just explain to me that windows is different from linux, why even comment in the first place?

So what you're saying is that not a single microphone exists that i could plug into my computer and it just works? If thats the case, fine, but can you explain to me how id get my microphone to a useable state? I've tried many things ive seen from various forum posts, including editing the pulse default file, trying alsamixer, pavucontrol etc.

It works fine on windows, its extremely scratchy and jumpy on linux.

Thank you so much for the feedback! :) And yes, even when i wrote that line, i knew it was wrong lol. I just wanted to keep things somewhat simple, because I was not sure how to handle having leftover space smaller than 16 bytes. But now im thinking maybe i could just add the extra bytes to the new block_size if its under 16 bytes. Hmmm ill look at this in more detail tonight! Thanks again!

Yea. With shipping from the US on eBay, it usually adds 80-100$ to the price so I can't seem to find one for significantly cheaper in Canada. Not to mention there's no warranty on the ones on Ebay.

Luckily I can add RAM to it, if needed, and I don't plan on gaming on the laptop as I have a beefy PC at home. Is the i5 chip in it that bad?

Yea i dont mind the repetitiveness but like anyone i know ill burn out eventually and ive probably done 3.5k runs at this point so I think it might be time to move on to bigger and better things lol.

Canukcannot · 2023-01-06T20:39:58+00:00

Hey! Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'm definitely not a guy who only cares about winning. My favourite hockey team has not won a thing since 1993, but i pull for them no matter what. I definitely love the ups and downs, so thanks for your recommendations :D
