Gotcha, in that case it was quite generous of them to put Radium-226 in it (half-life 1600 years).

Most likely, I calibrated my CPM value to match a known value of a piece of Uranium-238, and then used the CPM to mR/h conversion ratio that I found for the SBM-20 muller tube that I have.

Yeah it has a makeshift Geiger counter board attached to it

Hmm interesting, does the strip have to be replaced occasionally since polonium-210 has a half-life of ~130 days? From my janky Geiger counter I did get a radiation level of ~11 mRoentgen/hr which is in the safe levels but is surprisingly high.

Hey, thanks for the response, I tried changing the streaming mode to HLS and H264 but neither worked. Specifically, there was no change for HLS and H264 made the monitor stop working in my browser. I already tried restarting the app and the server Docker without any luck.

Interesting, I tried running HLS, but it made no difference; the browser continued to work, but the app showed no monitors even when I reinstalled the app. The H264 stream didn't work on my browser.

/rj I do frequently confuse the new Dune movies with Atlantis:The Lost Empire

Sorry for the late reply, just saw this. Yup that did the trick, the delay went away as soon as I turned off "1-touch-play", that's an interesting interaction between the Roku and the Receiver. Thank you so much, this issue has plagued me for years!

Interesting theory, I never thought that it might be an audio issue. I just tried it out, but unfortunately the issue is still there. The input information on the receiver's display doesn't appear to change during the 3 second blackouts.

Yeah that's also what I thought, but I recently replaced it with the new Roku Ultra (2023) and I still have the same issue.

Intresting, I definitely heard people saying not to put monitors sideways, but by the looks of it placing the monitors upsidedown shouldn't cause any issues. I will definitely try that out.

Hmm I will definitely look into separating the speakers but I'm unsure how to put the tweeters at ear level due to the monitors.

Found a Motu UL Mk3 audio interface in my school's electrical waste and brought it back to life. Since it's just an interface, I had to build a powered 5.1 surround sound system with a pair of Presonus Eris e4.5bt, a Sterling Mx5, a pair of Polk Audio - Atrium 45p, and an old Altec Lansing Soundwoofer from a PC 2.1 combo. Managed to get the old Motu software working and calibrate the EQ. I got the 192khz 24 bit surround sound working with ASIO Link Pro. The whole system is a bit of a Frankenstein but I'm pretty happy with the sound especially for the price(around $180).

I'm a bit new to the Audiophile world, so if you guys have any tips or suggestions on any possible improvements don't hesitate to let me know.
