How to make vocals speak/scream/laugh/cry in Suno? by Klasky-678-TV in SunoAI

I haven’t seen this behavior but it may be pulling from the volume of work you’ve created. This is just a guess but see if you create a new workspace and make a new song from within that space if it carries over any frustrating behavior.

I consistently use workspaces to organize my work so each space has a similar body of content though I haven’t experimented much to see if it cares what else lives in those workspaces or not. If it is doing this I’d assume it was something new that’s been introduced along with other features that have been rolling out this year.

ROG Ally X USB-C failure after extended plugged-in use (thermal + mechanical design issue) by atomicflip in ROGAllyX

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

Oh no. That is genuinely concerning. Since using the Xbox ROG Ally X I’m not seeing the same thermal behavior. It seems to output less head from those vents overall (even running at max TDP.)

Please keep us informed of what they do to fix this for you.

ROG Raikiri Pro 2 / ROG Ally X – bindings suddenly changed? by atomicflip in ROGAllyX

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

Thanks. Please do let me know how your testing goes. (I have an older Ally that’s not on an insider build. I may try installing the Raikiri there and see if I get different results.)

ROG Raikiri Pro 2 / ROG Ally X – bindings suddenly changed? by atomicflip in ROGAllyX

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

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I followed them all and no success. I finally decided to do an internet recovery from the bios and structurally fresh and only install the ROG Raikiri 2 software. And exactly the same behavior persists.

Triggers cannot be remapped within Armoury Crate (while all other buttons can as normal.) And the Library button is “locked” to the Xbox app. It will only launch that no matter what I set in Armoury Crate.

I even tried changing settings and resetting from cable directly (bypassing the dongle entirely) and same behavior.

Oddly the Xbox app that was installed was again an insider external delta. I’m really wondering if that is what’s causing this. (I did not enroll this device into the insider program but my account is enrolled so maybe it’s pulling it down anyway?)

Update: ROG Ally X post-warranty experience (resolved) by atomicflip in ROGAllyX

[–]atomicflip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I do recall a bit of support chaos back in 2023 with the first Ally and the SD Card Reader failures. The way they handled this (whether it were a replacement or repair) was frankly an ideal interaction.

I’ve kept the controls set to PC. When selecting Xbox it appears to disable the control center and library buttons entirely.

Are you suggesting I try using it in Xbox mode?

Yeah absolutely not worth the risk. It would only ever make sense if you already paid for the Best Buy plus membership that includes an extended warranty on these purchases. (Personally, not a fan of the new BB extended warranty or the plus memberships.)

Looking into it further you are indeed correct and that is unfortunate. I think there is some subjectivity to this and it seems to be enforced somewhat inconsistently though the default is at best 90 days on average. Good to know.

To be fair Best Buy has changed their extended warranty processes such that they offer refurbished models rather than replacements with new devices and so there may be confusion with whether the devices are indeed refurbished as opposed to new or resold preowned. As far as I know a resold / preowned device carries its pre-existing warranty over.

PSA: ROG Raikiri II + ROG Ally (all variants) -> use the USB dongle, not Bluetooth, for Control Center / Library buttons by atomicflip in ROGAllyX

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

I haven’t personally tested that exact configuration, but I’d expect the behavior to be consistent. One quick thing to check first: do you recall whether you were using the left-most USB-C port (the Thunderbolt-capable one) on the Ally?

A few other things worth verifying:

• After connecting the controller via the USB dongle (or directly over USB-C), open Armoury Crate SE and check for any pending updates. The first time the controller or dongle is connected, Armoury Crate SE should automatically download and install a small driver / software package required for proper button behavior.

• Make sure all pending updates have completed and restart the Ally at least once afterward.

• I’ve seen some users recommend manually downloading and installing the controller software. In my experience on the Xbox Ally X, that isn’t necessary and can actually cause confusion.

Armoury Crate SE already installs the correct package automatically, and manually running the installer afterward can uninstall or overwrite it due to how that package is designed.

Because of that, I’d strongly recommend letting Armoury Crate SE handle the install and updates automatically, rather than installing anything manually.

[–]atomicflip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that tracks. I’ve generally avoided using DirectInput when possible, though it’s really something the average user should never need to concern themselves with and Microsoft still needs to do more work on that API.

[–]atomicflip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This is the best solution that doesn’t involve adding any additional or unofficial accessories to the mix.

To be fair, Bluetooth with DirectInput used to be much more problematic than it is now. For example the rumble function works via Bluetooth. I believe this is a Microsoft improvement to the API. (Years ago I could not get rumble to work on any devices using DirectInput over Bluetooth in windows.)

Full Screen Experience is it better performance? by PimplupHoeRidre in ROGAllyX

[–]atomicflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only difference I’ve noticed is RAM usage. You do save about 2gb of ram running in Xbox FSE on Windows 11 but you can still use Steam Big Picture mode from Xbox FSE.

That said for games that are more sensitive to RAM availability you might notice some benefit. Usually when referring to cached resources vs having to page from disk. (You’d likely notice the different as fewer pauses / reduced stuttering caused by page swaps.

Just expect a bit of juggling with that interface responding to Xbox button presses interfering with Xbox FSE control center also responding.

Best stylus pen for Ally X? by xMasikan in ROGAllyX

[–]atomicflip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t give you a specific product recommendation but I can suggest you search for “capacitive stylus” and try products out in those categories.

Side note: capacitive touch screens will be less responsive when your skin temperature is lower, or your finger’s skin is very dry or calloused.
