The thread formerly known as the laptop thread but is now about random tech.

Right, so I still haven't been able to fix my microphone. The problem is that it keeps playing the input it's recieving over my speakers. Which, seeing as how they're right next to each other, causes some problems. I don't know why it's doing that, seeing as how it never did before.

If it's not any settings, it's most likely a physical problem. If something is shorting two lines, that would do it. This is unlikely though. Very unlikely. Did you install anything like drivers recently? Did this start happening right after your most recent update?

Nope, I haven't installed any drivers or anything. And it started happening shrotly before my last update.

What was the last thing you did before it started screwing up?

I was talking to you and Peek, and turned up the microphone boost. When I turned it back down, the loopthrough started.

What's the make and model of your laptop?

Asus F8Va I think. Im not sure exactly

As best I can tell, it's an uncommon problem, so it's most likely not Asus fault. You did something and it hates you now. Try going in and turning all of the computer volumes down to zero. Every slider bar should be at zero with no exceptions at all.

Those are both features in Home Premium...

Remote Desktop Connection isn't - you cant have one of those on any version of vista other then ultimate i believe

Oh, well anyway. There are third party programs that'll do that for cheaper.

I blame you. You probably messed it up when we were talking. The sound of your voice probably made it want to kill itself. But no, I've done that volume thing, and it still persists when I turn the volume back on.

Don't know what to tell you then. Send it in for repairs I gues because that sounds like a hardware malfunction.

Edit: And don't blame sir awesome.

Oh, well anyway. There are third party programs that'll do that for cheaper.

Maybe. But Vista Ultimate is COOLER.

HOW?

Its ULTIMATE. And besides, i would rather have all the essential programs i need in one operating system, rather then going and spending money on second or third party software that does not go as smoothly with vista.

Have fun with your WINE, I'll enjoy un-emulated games.

I dont use WINE. I have a Vista boot (It was free with my PC) for games and things exclusive to windows and my Linux, Mostly variations of Ubuntu, for everything else

You aren't. You just feel that way. Wasting that HDD with ubuntu of all things.

 

[Alex_P]

Now this thread is reminding me of how much I hate Vista.

Not because it's necessarily worse than XP.

But because they have five fucking versions and charge a ridiculous price for a bunch of basic functionality.

It's mildly annoying.

It's less than 1 GB... I have 50GB set aside for it as everything takes up next to no file space. )

It's still a waste of productive space. You could use that for pictures, movies, music,porn
