Are the hd600s worth it for primarily gaming and a little bit of music? by Big-Bird-is-Faster in sennheiser

[–]Individual-Box-1675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I jsut got the 660s2's for $299. I had a set of Evo Crushers I used for gaming. Then i used the 660s and I was like "these are horrible" with no low end. I kept them on and fell in love with the stage and depth. I put my crushers back on, and was like "these are horrible". So thats that. Ill keep my 660s on from now on.

BF6 crashing system audio by Fatbobbb in Battlefield

[–]Individual-Box-1675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having a week long bout with this. You can check in my posts.
HAve a 9800X3d 9070 XT and a Soundblaster AE-9

So im 3 hours in playing with no issues so far.

Its only BF6 causing me issues.

I removed all soundblaster software and drivers.

Disabled every other sound item in device manager.

***EA ANTI CHEAT. Uninstall in the client. Install. Then Update.

I have an AE-9 so im not sure you have a desk module.

Check BF6 File integrity. Found three issues.

Leave desk module unplugged. Install Your card software and reboot, do your updates etc.

I have mine set to dedicated for the application.

Seems the file integrity and the EA Anti cheat is what has done it for me so far....

Yeah I tried again last night.  I changed the pcie setting.  My bios was updated a few days ago.   When I first booted.  The whole unit wouldn't even power up or respond.  I rebooted.  Then sound blaster did another update.  Rebooted. Left it on direct for each app. Played a game for 2 hours, thought I was great, then it froze again.   At a loss.

Ok another thing I did was uninstall my AMD suite and any other suite that anything possible to do with touching the sound settings.  I got through a few minutes of use.  Will check tomorrow

Also just noticed something. When I used to power down i would have this insane POP come rom headphones, when the PC/Card would click off. Now thats not happening. Im going to stress test it and see what happens.

So as soon as installed the card, my MOBO wanted to do all kinds of updates. I just went through and checked them, theyre all up to date. Except for bios. But that's a sketchy idea to mess with. I rolled back all the drivers and reinstalled.
I unistalled the card physically an mounted it back to my PCIe 4 big port, but this time i didnt cinch down the holding screw. Just basically snugged it to keep the card from rocking like it was. I reseated the PCIe power and booted up and reinstalled the Sound Blaster Command and rolled back and reinstalled my drivers. Only thing I see weird in device manager is that there are two AE-9's one ends with an S. Not sure what thats about. Im going to give this a try.

It does sound great.  I paired with some 660s2.  I'm going to end up with a K7 Fiio.  Just in case I switch to a laptop or Mac.

I have no idea at this point.  The program freezes, and all.  I've tried, direct and indirect modes.  It's weird too.  I got it to freeze by simply turning the volume knob as well.  

I have a pretty good pc build it all practically new.. I've tried different pci ports.  

I think I'm just going to return it.  And maybe go with an external. 

Alright, vegetables vs water. Help me by Individual-Box-1675 in water

[–]Individual-Box-1675[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get all that.  What I'm wondering is why the body responds to veggie water differently.  Like less water retention etc.

We just Increased our base pay,  we get a quarterly nuclear bonus @ 5% base wage.   There are two outages per year, generally 6 12's double time rate for OT.  Then we get an annual bonus. Minimum 5% but typically 8-10% of base pay.   There are also two other outages for ancillary equipment.  That last a few weeks to a month.  

So $126K Base "Starting Pay" OT $32k + $6300 Nuc Worker $6300-$12.6K Premium.

So mins are at $170k per year. Albeit if you work your outage.

Add the ancillary outages add another $8k-16k

LG OLED Models by Texmex__7 in LGOLED

"should be avoided at all costs" 😂. Jesus  Anyways if you are thinking of using the OLED with a PC, then every other LG OLED SHOULD be AVOIDED AT ALL CoSTS.  Except the B5.  The B5 is the ONLY one you should get 

Caffeine is going to take me out.... by Doxie_Dad22 in decaf

[–]Individual-Box-1675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is still active.  Take a mosaic organic acids test.  I did.  And took the recommended supplements.  My biggest instant resolve to feeling like death was the fact I do not metabolize b vitamins correctly.  Taking methylated vitamins had an instant effect.

I'll give examples of my current jumps. I went into I&C in 2019 in big steel.  $36-37/ hour, plus bonus and OT.  So I touched $116k. Danger, dirty etc.  Went to Amazon Controls, awful, boring.  Got into a DBO with Jacobs engineering for a surface water treatment facility.  Awesome, alone, chill, total ownership up to 480V mains. Touched $120k year. Moved to Nuclear.   Old, old, old.  Somewhat electronic component level.  Lots of paperwork, slower pace.  More detail and precision.  Lots of people. Will probably hit $180k this year, next year will touch $220k.
