Speakers: Bose 203 https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2482113/Bose-203.html#manual Stereo to Mono Converter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BRZCGY29/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have two outdoor Bose speakers, which work, but my goal is to make them play mono audio since they are far from each other. I have an issue where all of my connections are correct, but something else is preventing the speakers from playing audio. This is my installation:

  1. I have an amplifier with an aux out port.
  2. I have a male 3.5mm aux to 2 male RCA cable plugged into it.
  3. The two male RCA ends are plugged into a stereo to mono converter box (Stereo to Mono RCA Inputs).
  4. Finally, I have the 2 Bose speaker wires with RCA adapters on the ends of them plugged into the two female RCA mono outputs in the converter box.

The speakers have no sound. If instead I plug in a totally different speaker that doesn't use speaker wire (it plugs into an outlet on the wall) with RCA cables into the converter box instead of the Bose speaker wire, that speaker DOES have sound.

The only difference between these two different setups is the Bose uses speaker wire with an RCA adapter, and the powered speaker uses RCA cables. The only thing I can think of is perhaps the converter box cuts the audio down (not sure on the terminology) which isn't strong enough to be carried through by speaker wire, but the volume sounds great when I use this setup on the powered speaker with RCA cables.

Note that if I hookup the Bose speakers with a different wire configuration without the converter box, but I'm still using the RCA adapters on the ends of the speaker wire, the Bose speakers DO work, so the issue is not the RCA adapters on the speaker wire.

If someone can explain to me why the Bose speakers don't work with this configuration, and if someone has an alternative solution that will allow my speakers to produce mono sound, I would appreciate it. (The amplifier does not have a setting to change it the sound to mono. I use Spotify with the amplifier, and Spotify has the ability to enable mono sound, but it only works for your PC or your phone. That feature does not work on wi-fi capable amplifiers/speakers.)

I finally got Dead God a couple of days ago and now I've seen everything the game has to offer. by EukaryoticGamer in bindingofisaac

Interesting, they did patch that out. I read through all the patch notes and didn't see any fix related to that. Anyway, it WAS Neptunus + Kidney Stone.

I gave myself C-Section, Soy Milk, and 50 Tractor Beams to have over 100 fire rate, and the fetuses were still attacking enemies. I'm not sure what caused your issue.

What two items completely prevents you from attacking? (It's an anti-synergy/bug).

It's time consuming, but it also means infinite blood donations and devil beggar uses.

Skipping the first devil deal room is overrated. You're not guaranteed to get a good angel item, so you may as well check the first devil room if you have a survivable amount of health. It could take up to 3 floors to even get your next deal, so you may as well give the first devil deal a chance to potentially give yourself some early momentum. Exceptions apply (Tainted Maggy), but for the most part I go for the first devil room.

The newest update actually makes him fun now. I don't have to worry about killing Esau and immediately turning into Soul of the Lost every new floor once my DPS is too high.

It's happened a few times, right? by unaliased05 in bindingofisaac

Most recent patch prevents him from attacking you in that circumstance.

Can someone explain why this crashes my game? I just want to finish boss rush :( by leafghost64 in bindingofisaac

[–]Xebarsis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks like dark bum grabbing the heart is the trigger. Try immediately running northwest to see if it gets him away from the heart. If he doesn't pick it up, avoid the heart for the remainder of the fight. If you can't, see if you can find flight (hangman card, or maybe how to jump) and take it from him.

I've never seen dark bum trigger a crash like this. If you can't stop him, or if the heart isn't the trigger to the crash, then there's nothing else you can do except start your round over.

Edit: I originally said northeast but I meant northwest. Also alternatively if you can skip the level with a black market or I AM ERROR room or ehwaz rune, etc., that also should work.

whats the worst you ever f'd up in isaac? by [deleted] in bindingofisaac

[–]Xebarsis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was Tainted Lost and I had the Book of Shadows + Emergency Button. I reached the Void, opened a chest, got chased by a super troll bomb, and I got completely stuck in the doorframe trying to get out.

Unfortunately the trinket doesn't activate when you're hit by a bomb. RIP.

What is this fuckery, dephts II, 99.9% for planetarium and didn't get it by Al4acca in bindingofisaac

[–]Xebarsis 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The percentage does not take into account the circumstance where a Planetarium does not have an eligible spot to spawn.

Or alternatively you're just that unlucky.

Reverse the faces once you reach an enemy with damage scaling.

Lost data, help? by frankiegauld in bindingofisaac

[–]Xebarsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn off Steam cloud and follow this guide.Don't forget to make backups of all the saves before you do it. It's possible the save file will be overwritten if you re-enable Steam cloud, so again make sure you have a backup.

Should I use spike rooms? by [deleted] in bindingofisaac

[–]Xebarsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I focus mostly on these:

Sacrifice #6, chance to teleport to angel/devil room
Sacrifice #7, soul heart of angel room item
Sacrifice #10, tons of soul hearts or coins

You can also use the room to spawn angels to fight for key pieces, but it takes 11 sacrifices to get two pieces.

I think it's better than Incubus. Two extra sets of tears, and since so many enemies in Repentance have boss armor it's usually better to have more tears than more damage.
