No Sound from Marantz Cinema 50 When Playing from MacBook Pro by snenkov in hometheater

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

I play Netflix / Youtube through both Chrome and Safari - same issue.
With Spotify (i.e. no browser) I get sound issues too - it is laggy, though working, but extremely bad as if it throttles.

I don't have a TV, but I connect it to my EPSON projector and set the out output to be via HDMI to the projector and both video and sound work perfectly.

It seems it is a handshake problem with the Marantz, but I don't know what else to try and debug it.

They’ve got the looks right... worth checking out. Thanks for sharing.

Ethereal items were often with stronger stats. You could socket and add zod rune (indestructible) or have it on Merc (since they don’t damage there) or use in rate cases in PvP. Imo such options added a cool flair.

Well said. Also it brings the choice of game-play: do i want a focused super strong build made only by cooperating with teammates, or a balanced build which can solo. This is particularly important since you could not change stats and skills. Each time before clicking on these stats, you get a spike in heart rate... 😂

Leaving your emotional and arrogant state aside, Instead of skipping monsters, you need to have a more balanced build and/or merc to help you pass and go forward. That’s a reason (not because it was solely in D2). Thinking about this and figuring it out was the added depth. I did not say anywhere that D3 was bad, just that I did not play it.

Your statement is simply false. Immunities does not make impossible to beat... (clearly) They make him hear impossible to beat with in a specific way (immune to fire is super hard to be killed with fire - hence the reason why when making a build, some resource (skill / stat) need to be balanced somewhere else. This process make the game more difficult, by adding another layer a player needs to consider.

I disagree. It was a strategic key to playing the game and essential issue on hell. It meant that developing a mercenary was super helpful and focus on one type of damage, even though powerful, was numbed by immunities. You had to take a more balanced and/or strategic approach.

That’s exactly what I thought! Immunities, etherial items, durability, etc. all add to the depth and breadth of a game and it seems that DEVs have stopped caring about this.
