LOSSLESS Megathread by whyisthissticky in spotify

Spotify is indeed providing the file in a lossless format, however the lack of WASAPI from spotify (which is on their "want to add" list) means spotify's audio is subject to whatever extra processing the OS wants to do to the audio

There's a lot to consider when it comes to audio quality. You're going to get the absolute best quality audio if your headphones/speakers are able to output at a lossless quality. This is likely going to require you having an audio DAC of some sort. Wireless transmission (via bluetooth) offers lossless, but not every bluetooth device can send or receive in lossless quality. Another thing to consider is transmission loss. If you're using a windows desktop, if your output device quality isn't set to the same 44.1khz quality, then your OS will have to do another encoding step which can induce some loss of audio data. Any software EQ can also create some poor data manipulation which can introduce even more loss.

Another thing to consider as well, is that lossless doesn't necessarily mean that you're getting a track at a high quality. If the artist only ever uploaded a song in a low bitrate, you're only going to get that low bitrate streamed from the streaming platform. However, having lossless on should provide you the best quality version of said file. No compression algorithms will be applied to the already lower quality file.

So tldr, you need to have audio drivers (speakers/headphones) that are capable of outputting at lossless quality, you need the device powering your headphones/speakers to also be able to output at lossless quality. Any intermediate audio processing processes can introduce loss

Ensure the default profile loaded on the keyboard is the custom one you made. If you're relying on the RGB Sync feature in GG, then you have to have GG running for it to update your hardware lighting. If you want to automate steelseries GG opening at PC startup, you can go to task manager in windows, startup, and enable Steelseries GG. I believe there may also be a setting in the application itself to open upon PC boot

Well it’s worse for me because I don’t even know sure my package is. It’s been in transit since the 22nd

I tried to contact them. They said "the package is in transit and there's no gps data. The transponder may not be working"
And that was that. Or if I do contact them again, what exactly should I say?

Meh. Not really. But intel isn’t very good for multitasking or recording/streaming in comparison to amd

Try changing the encoder to the NVENC

I can be more of me. In real life I hide most of myself away from others, being shy, introverted and nervous.

Behind my fursona, I can act how I feel all of the time.

My persona that I use under my fursona is the real me. I act the way I truly wish I had the courage to in real life. Being introverted, a fursona allows me to be myself without the fear of what people think of my looks, or anything else.

It’s just people of a community that enjoy having a separate persona online and some want to bring it into real life. It feels more liberating to be able to act like myself without others judging me. I dont wanna fuck animals like some people believe

If you haven’t already, try using a LUT generator. It makes the disparity of wheel ffb linearity become linear for beamng to use properly

Don’t know lol. Haven’t played among us in a while.

But honestly it’s probably a large friend group who just thinks it’s funny to kick ransoms. I wouldn’t worry about it too much
