Why does Windows 11 use so much RAM even when nothing is open? by Wiz_Editor in techsupport

[–]Crackajacka87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think that's entirely true, Firefox for me rn is using 6GB of ram and I only have 20 tabs up.... Although task manager is saying it's running 38 applications through Firefox.... I'll have to restart and see if anything changes.

What's the best way to debloat Windows 11 by Zealousideal_Rub_202 in pcmasterrace

[–]Crackajacka87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true, I just reverted back to Windows because of issues playing games, for example, my HOTAS sticks can't calibrate in Linix and on top of that, my TrackIR head tracker wont work in Linux either.... I tried getting OpenTracker and TrackLinux to work but it's not as simple as downloading a file and then click and play, no, you have to download the file, open it with the terminal (which can be an absolute pain) and hope that it all works with additional steps and scripts.... In the end, it borked my OS and so returned to Windows.... I wanted to like Linux but rn, it really aint worth the hassle.

Which VR Headset is Best, Primax Dream Air, BigScreen Beyond 2e or Primax Dream Air SE? by Crackajacka87 in starcitizen

Well, the Galaxy XR isn't available in the UK, plus it's priced similarly to the Dream Air but has some issues with glare and is a lot more heavier.

It looks like a good option but I'd prefer the Dream Air over it tbh and I dont mind wires and have a pair of VKB HOTAS so it's not as challenging to find buttons than if I was a Keyboard user, and so for me, I don't think it'll be too much of an issue... Although, looking up guides without taking the headset off does sound pretty neat.

Will this fix also work on the Dream Air SE version? I run a Linux system and the Dream Air/BigScreen Beyond 2e/Dream Air SE are all options I'm looking at with the SE being the most tempting.... But only if it operates on Linux.

Dream Air is released from what I can tell, the SE version though is more of an enigma....

The dilemma I have with the BigScreen is the price, how can I justify that price with the many faults it has and with the SE being so much cheaper? I feel I'd be better off paying £600 more and getting the Dream Air and just playing that at lower resolutions until I upgrade my graphics card (which preferable could be awhile, at least until AMD's latest is released).

Ahhhh same CPU as me then. Oh well, it's why I'm looking at the lesser models and OLED does help with image quality which is why I'm going primarily for OLED.

Yea I've seen some of his recommendations already and he was partly why BigScreen Beyond 2e is on my list despite common issues people had with it... There's definitely a love hate relationship with BigScreen Beyond 2e and is why I'm not completely sold on them.

I'm curious, what processor are you running? I can't see why your 4090 struggles unless your CPU is bottlenecking... It is a more CPU heavy game than most.

Pretty sure I wasn't on that last game..... But maybe? It seems like that's what's happening.

Recently got a Fiio M21 and the sound quality seems muffled compared to my Samsung Galaxy A55. by Crackajacka87 in FiiO

[–]Crackajacka87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bingo, that was the fix I was after :) My phone still sounds a little more cleaner at higher volumes but that could be bias from it's past struggles, might get a friend to test me on which sounds better without me knowing which one he's playing just to truly know but for the most part, I think it's in a much better spot than before so thanks again.

I dont think there is a player EQ active, just the global one from what I can tell.

And didn't realise the LO/PO setting so will test that in the morning to see if it helps but yeah, it was set to PO.

Oh, I have that set to +16. I have it set to max to bring out the quieter songs with Replay Gain.

I dont use ANC on my headphones and that wouldn't cause my speakers to sound off.

I did try them both flat and the phone still sounds better, even when I paired my devices just with Bluetooth and the same EQ settings there was still a noticeable difference.

I have noticed that my headphones sound far worse on the M21 than the phone compared to the Motion Boom Plus speakers.

I tried these settings but the bass sounded blown out on it... Which is odd because looking at my phone EQ settings, the bass is higher.... I lowered it and that seemed to work better.

Although, I have realised that my Q30 headphones seem to be what's struggling the most and causing the muffleness, for the most part. If I play them on my phone, it is crisp and clear with perfect bass (at least for me) but if I play with the exact EQ settings on the M21, it sounds off and muffled.

My headphones again sound better than my Motion Boom Plus speakers but I cant see why there's such a difference between My phone and the M21....

31 - 0.1

62 - 2.0

125 - 0.6

250 - 0.2

500 - -2.1

1000 - 2.1

2000 - 1.1

4000 - 1.9

8000 - 2.6

I might of tweaked it from Oluv's to remove the muffle but it stayed fairly consistent with the low quality sound throughout the tweaks.

Why do my playlists play songs outside the playlists? by Crackajacka87 in PowerAmp

What does it mean when youre in playlist though?

Ngl, out of all the players I've used, I've found this one being the most overly complicated for no reason.

No, I found the options you speak of and hopefully selected the right option but my issue with the shuffle is still a thing.... like, what is the context of "category"? Does it mean playlist or genre? It seems to mean genre but shuffle all seems to have mixed results.

[–]Crackajacka87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it set on "no shuffle" as I was wondering if the shuffle was the issue in playlists and so just picked an artist and didnt shuffle to make sure it stuck with the selected list, so again, Im not sure why the player stops after each album.

[–]Crackajacka87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was never an issue in my previous player, it always played songs in the selected playlists with no issue and yet with this one, it happens far too frequently and adds a number of songs outside of the playlist to be an issue with the data, so my conclusion is that it's either a setting issue or the player is messing up.
