Windows 10: Max

A customer claims their Sound Card is no longer working after a major Windows Feature Update from 1803 to 1809, what can you do to get their sound working again?

Office And Light Gaming Build

There's nothing wrong with the build, but I have some suggestions to, IMHO, make it better:

• You list a 550 watt PSU, but you have a 51 watt CPU and a GPU that pulls 120 watts at the max. In other words, your system will pull under 200 watts at maximum load, which it sounds like will be rarely. PSU's are most efficient between 50-80%, and even at max load, this system won't reach 50%. Suggest a PSU 400 watts or less, like the Seasonic G-360.
• RAM's really cheap. Suggest getting 16 GB instead.

 

Max Recorder

Hi Marc,

I tried all the suggestions above but still get the same response from Max Recorder.

My system Windows 10 and I tried using compatibility mode and the troubleshooter. Max Recorder did tell me it needed Vista or better.

None of the compatibility settings changed anything.

Different VGA max resolution and HDMI max, Sony TV

I wish that I could write something helpful. Getting full resolution out of the TV looks like it would require some sort of hack that I can't supply. I doubt that you'd want to use 1080i (interlaced, 25fps in Europe), even if your graphics card permitted that.

I'm surprised that a TV panel has a native resolution of 1680 X 1050 (16:10 aspect ratio, as you write). 10 years ago, I had a Sharp "720p" TV, and I believe that it was 1366 X 768 (approximately 16:9).

The attached shows the officially supported resolutions for the TV. I see that 1440X900 isn't on the list for VGA.





Not sure what to suggest, other than replacing the Bravia with a 1920 X 1080 monitor or an HD TV.
