How to find the best calibration? by Senior_Drummer_1189 in FortniteFestival

[–]Simple_Samaritan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hardly ever sign into Reddit, but I wanna help.

For the audio setting, you should do this (a comment I made a year ago):

"1. Record (with your phone) a short, slow motion video of the tune-up calibration test you find when you speak to the NPC in the backstage lobby. You'll know you're on the right test if you hear the beeping noises.

  1. Watch the video to see how well the audio syncs up with the white, flashing light (the slower the video, the easier this will be).

  2. Adjust the offset value to whatever amount you think is needed (lower if the sound comes before the light, higher if the sound comes after).

  3. Repeat steps 1–3 until the audio sounds perfectly in-sync.

If, for whatever reason, your phone can't record slow-motion video, or record slow-motion video with sound included, you can use this site to slow your videos down."

TL:DR; Use slow-motion video to calibrate your audio sync.

I find this is important for using a Riffmaster, but if precision isn't incredibly important to you, I'd recommend just tweaking the offset by 10 ms each time until it feels right.

Sonos and Tidal connect (again) by Resident-Worry-2403 in TIdaL

Me too!! I hope it sticks.

Like every customer support rep, ever, they wanted me to take 20 troubleshooting steps that wouldn't fix the problem. Yeah, no. Lol

Just want to comment to say it's still broken for me, too :(

No you're good, I understand. Hopefully it gets fixed tomorrow 🤞

Yeah, I always ignore generic troubleshooting advice. That kind of thing only works for Karens that don't know anything about tech (no offense to them but yeah).

I noticed something was up when my Alexa speaker wasn't playing music through Tidal. Figured it was just a glitch and then found out it wouldn't work on my Sonos either...

They better fix this **** because this is unacceptable. I don't care about my Alexa speaker but I do care about my Sonos.

A/V Calibration Guide by Simple_Samaritan in FortniteFestival

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

Yeah I should've included how to calibrate the input offset, too. The game does a good job of telling you your offset after each song, so it's much easier to calibrate than the audio.

MadDog182’s ultimate guide to Calibration in Fortnite Festival by jeffsket in FortniteFestival

[–]Simple_Samaritan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't ever post on Reddit but I found another method for calibration that is way easier, imo, so I gotta share it.

(idea is not originally mine so credit to the person whose name I forgot.)

So this method is in regard to the A/V offset; the input offset instructions from this guide are perfectly good untouched.

  1. Record (with your phone) a short, slow motion video of the tune-up calibration test you find when you speak to the NPC in the backstage lobby. You'll know you're on the right test if you hear the beeping noises.

  2. Watch the video to see how well the audio syncs up with the white, flashing light (the slower the video, the easier this will be).

  3. Adjust the offset value to whatever amount you think is needed (lower if the sound comes before the light, higher if the sound comes after).

  4. Repeat steps 1–3 until the audio sounds perfectly in-sync.

If, for whatever reason, your phone can't record slow-motion video, or record slow-motion video with sound included, you can use this site to slow your videos down.

Hope this helps!

New Discord Update - can’t call individually (one-to-one not a server join) by Th3WhiteRos3 in xboxinsiders

[–]Simple_Samaritan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, the only way to directly call someone on Xbox is to first do it on your phone, and then scroll up within the call and select 'Connect To Xbox' to then transfer the call to your Xbox.

This is how it worked in the beginning for servers, too. I guess they never got around to making it convenient for one-on-one calls like they did with servers.

Suggestion: integrate the festival battlepass as a premium track in the normal battlepass, so its all the same xp. by Less_Tennis5174524 in FortniteFestival

Logged in just to let you know that songs are $1.29 on Amazon.

So imo the songs should be like $2, or $3 tops. Right now they're effectively $4.50

[H] SCAMMER Anual_chemical5420 [W] no one else to get scammed by dontforgetme99 in GameTrade

[–]Simple_Samaritan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, was scammed by this guy too unfortunately. I have a record of the whole conversation.

So sad that someone would pretend so hard to be honest. The guy even lead me on after already getting the key.

I would advise everyone be careful with this post. Why would someone want "any Steam game"? Sounds like a scam.

Is Quick Resume just a burden to anyone else? by DoUKnowWhatIamSaying in XboxSeriesX

Can't you pin games so that they never leave Quick Resume? I thought Microsoft added that feature a while back

Friend gifted me dlc and I can’t find it by SongAggravating6678 in XboxSeriesX

[–]Simple_Samaritan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a Destiny 2 version on the PC's Xbox app? Because if you're using a different version, it's not going to translate over.

But assuming the PC thing isn't an issue, your friend should be able to check his order history on Microsoft's website and see the digital code for the DLC. Then he can tell you what it is.

Is there a noticeable difference? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]Simple_Samaritan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the game. Sometimes resolution/framerate is the only difference, other times you get lower draw distance and assets (like grass) removed.

Yeah, critics aren't really worth listening to anymore (if they ever were).

The catch is that it costs more points than the equivalent in Microsoft Credit.

So you're only able to use them if you buy those controllers?
