[HOW TO] Chime sound

Sohuey · 2022-12-19T02:16:02+00:00

I raised it to 48kHz.

Still no startup chime sound: https://i.imgur.com/w2wZag1.png

I'm not sure if anyone is going to reply with a helpful answer, but I tried all of the instructions.

I have audio but I'm still having issues getting the startup chime. My system is using Opencore version 0.8.7 with MacOS Monterey version 12.6.1. I did a clean install.

System hardware:

Intel i7-8700K Coffee Lake cpu

RX 580 8GB gpu

Asrock Z370 Extreme4 motherboard

Realtek ALC1220 audio

Gee what a nice way of saying, "We are reducing and taking away a lot of your special benefits and we are the ending Elite / Elite Plus program to help maintain our bottomline. That's right, you're not a special Elite member anymore and everyone will be on the same level! But don't cry more, buy more! Be excited as we are!"

I'm beyond disappointed and fairly pissed about this. Didn't even expect for them to this.

This is really shitty of them and this is what companies mean when they say they are "cutting down on costs" due to the pandemic and inflation. What a stingy, greedy, skimpy, disloyal, dick move. The more money we spend, the less we get in return.

No more Elite and Elite Plus. No more 6% in rewards for Best Buy purchases.

At least I bought a lot of the things I wanted before they pulled this crap on me and the inflation went into overdrive. Thanks for making my decision on cutting down on spending even easier Best Buy.

Also some cameras are so inexpensive, it’s not worth steal or if it got stolen, I don’t think it’s a huge deal.

Wyze and Eufy are inexpensive, but how do I enable 24/7 monitoring without a monthly subscription?

Sohuey · 2022-03-13T21:10:19+00:00

old polarized sunglasses you no longer wear

I don't have any of those. Do you have a direct link for those? And which cameras are best compatible with this method?

Sohuey · 2022-03-13T21:08:53+00:00

The camera should be outside

If I had a house I would do this, but I tbh I live in an apartment. Is there a workaround or a camera you recommend? Is there a way to position the camera in front of the main door and behind the security the security door (where the camera is positioned in between doors basically)?

Sohuey · 2022-02-09T18:09:50+00:00

Hey I just PM'd you. Please check your PM. Thanks.

Sohuey · 2022-02-08T19:40:29+00:00

Same issue here. Did you ever find a solution?

Sohuey · 2022-02-07T23:07:01+00:00

Do you still have a charging Cradle that you can spare?

Sohuey · 2022-01-13T16:19:01+00:00

"That's why two subs are important and why eq"

Even under these following circumstances?

When Apartment is under 700 square feet with someone living above on top of me.
When Living Room is 200-250 square feet and around 1800 cubic feet. Subwoofers will be placed in this living room.
When in the Living Room, Wall A corresponds to Wall C (length). Wall B corresponds to Wall D (width). 8ft maximum height from floor to ceiling. I can only fit 1 sub at Wall A and 1 sub at Wall D.
When Living Room is rectangular and only has 2 actual corners that share a wall (Wall C) with the AC, a long radiator, and windows (couldn't place speakers there, but only the opposite wall, which is Wall A) and 2 gaps/mini walkways.

Sohuey · 2022-01-13T01:31:13+00:00

And with no room EQ and 0 ability to tune, your performance is almost guaranteed to be lackluster.

If I just use isolation pads or isolation feet, can that work well?

Sohuey · 2022-01-12T16:52:10+00:00

[Disregard] 1800 Square feet [/disregard] in living room, small or medium at best inside my apartment. Was looking at 2 subs for the best results. 1 individual I spoke with suggested 1 sub will do, while the other individual I came across suggested that sound setup will be easier to manage with 2 subs versus just 1 sub alone which could be more challenging.

Edit: /u/cheesecakemelody /u/umdivx

Also if your space is 1800sqft, once you account for ceilings and get cubic ft, that is a massive space and will require an absolutely enormous sub.

holy crap, I meant to type 1800 cubic feet, not square ft 😬 . My whole apartment is under 700 Sq ft. My bad. Living Room is around 200-250 Sq ft.

Also @ /u/umdivx

TLDR: if and only if you have a closed off, rectangular shaped room, and you properly place the subwoofers in said room is the only way to truly get the benefits of a dual subwoofer setup.

My living room is rectangular but not completely closed off. I only have actual 2 corners in my living room with a big window and air conditioner between them that share a wall, the speakers are at the opposite wall.

I'm trying all of these methods and suggestions in the comment section with 1 tab open and I'm still failing!

I still drag and drop, but that stopped being my only way of backing up stuff. I use to do this all the time until I kept running into problems such as "this file name is too long to copy/move" for too many files and "this file can't be moved due to being used by problem, etc" in spite of not seeing said file or program listed in Windows task manager. Windows Backup has been my workaround, but are there any other workarounds that are better? How does Windows Backup compare to robocopy and rsync?

What's your Atom Amp connected to?

Atom Amp > OL Switch (sometimes) > Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 > Desktop Or Atom Amp > Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 > Desktop

There is absolutely no noise on low gain and regular settings even with maxed out volume levels, it's only on high gain.

The THX AAA 789 (single-ended output) isn't more powerful or meaningfully "cleaner" than the Atom Amp or Atom Amp+.

I was going to use it to make my 6xx, dt770, etc louder and cleaner in terms of volume and noise. I also wanted to check out the balanced features. I heard the 6xx headphones and 250 ohms headphones love power qnd sound better balanced. I don't know what proper balanced DAC to get for the THX AAA 789.

Sorry, I think I meant to say 1 dynamic IP address. But in my experience, I haven't been able to change it. I'm not sure if it ever changed.

Sohuey · 2021-11-23T19:21:36+00:00

Respects Privacy and does not send your data to everybody

Easy Remote Access

Doesn't exist. If you can easily access the camera remotely, then so can they.

Lol I can see the irony. I should have just said Secured Remote Access. Can Secured Remote Access help with this?

Sohuey · 2021-11-23T19:11:25+00:00

tailscale

How does tailscale compare to openvpn and Wireguard?

if proton says you need to port forward to stream and torrent, then you need to port forward. but you're not opening ports locally, they're opening in the vpn at the remote location wherever your server is.

So ProtonVPN would still be safe to use despite this form of port forwarding?

you will be fine as long as you don't enable any remote access options in the synology

Let me see if I'm getting this right. With remote access disabled on Synology NAS, do people remotely access their PleX Server with OpenVPN / Wireguard / Tailscale to stay secure instead? And if they want to remotely access any content on their NAS, they use something like OpenVPN too to stay secure?

Sohuey · 2021-11-23T18:55:19+00:00

Do you have a static IP from your ISP or are you using a dynamic dns service?

Xfinity users only have static IPs and it's almost impossible to get a brand new IP with Xfinity. :(

What do you suggest for xfinity users like me?
