In Windows (I'm assuming) you should be able to make another device the default audio output with the Cintiq connected. This is a setting that should stick too. This is done from the popup you get from right clicking the speaker icon in the system tray and selecting Playback devices.

You can instantly check the warranty status one way or another to confirm. Here's a page from Dell explaining the various warranty possibilities on their monitors. Yours is large and expensive enough to have its own Service Tag, so that often makes things easier. HalloKitty fucked around with this message at 12:43 on Nov 26, 2015 |

Excellent advice, but it only came with a one year warranty which expired in March, according to the tool Looking around the various other tools, there appears to be a way to activate a 3 year warranty (from date of original purchase) specifically for people like I who bought from an online retailer, but I need to be an American in order to use it (mandatory US state selection), and there is no .au equivalent. There is also no information on repairs, warranty or not, or anything like that. I am going to have to call them tomorrow, but this seems to be one of those smash-with-a-hammer-til-you-feel-better afairs. Thanks for you help though, it is appreciated.

If you get in touch with the place you bought it from they should be able to help you out. If they don't cooperate then you can get in touch with the consumer protection board for your state (Google it). For a $1700 monitor you'd be covered by the ACL for a long, long time.

snickles posted:I'm going to be setting up a voip system for an office in the near future and need a little advice. We are going with vonage, and my understanding is that any voip phone is plug and play compatible. It sounds like you want call park, though it might be called other things in the various phone interfaces. I had a kind of longer post written about various IP phones and their idiosyncrasies, basically make sure you're using a central provisioning model, be it FTP, TFTP, SFTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, etc.. You don't want to be pushing configurations to the web interface or punching passwords on the phone interface. Also, if you go with Polycom I would skip the Soundpoint 331, the only difference with the 335 is an RJ9 headset port versus 2.5mm TRS. Trust me, RJ9 is better in every way.

In a pinch you can use a multimeter alongside a paper clip to short the PS_ON pin.

Alright so I have an 8 year old pc that doesn't have an optical port on the back for sound. I am guessing they were not around or very common then. I just bought a new 2015 astro a40 gaming headset. In the box it only gave me the optical gaming cord. The head set is suppose to have a cable from the headset to the sound mixer. Then there is a mini usb cable from that to a regular usb to the pc. Then there is also suppose to be and optical cord from the box to the pc. However, as said in the first sentence I cannot do that. The surround sound through the headset is great. However, I have never been able to successfully get the mic to work at all. I even with to astro site and downloaded the firmware for both the box and the headset and after ripping them and running them, they both say it is not connected. Then I went back to where i got it, i know best buy -_-, and got a male to male 3.5mm aux jack to try to get that to work. That has also failed even trying different ports. I tried the line in port, the line port, the headset (green) port, and the mic input (pink) port. Nothing works. After dangling with it for many hours, I am now to a more expert page, here. I have kept the receipts for everything, and if I have to take it back because this is ludicrous. I am on windows 7, have all my drivers updated as far as i know, 4GB memory not including the memory i have on my graphics card 250GB solid state hard drive Intel quad core processor Q66000. If anyone can help with constructive knowledge that would be much appreciated. Thank you

Is there a such thing as a KVM that will allow me to toggle a pair of computers between two monitors, but also allow me to choose to have one computer controller both displays? I have a 27" and a 24" and I'd like to be able to flip flop the windows and linux system back and forth depending on whether or not I'm working or gaming, and sometimes while gaming I'd like to have the windows system have both monitors for "multitasking"(eve online).

Not exactly what you want, but Monoprice 105704 4 x 4 True Matrix HDMI Switch/Splitter with Remote Control There may be something more applicable to your situation, but this is what I've used in the past.

You can plug x8 cards into x16 slots and you've got a second x16 slot, no adapter needed. The question is whether it actually needs the bandwidth from an x8 slot or not because your second x16 slot will only give x4 bandwidth. I'm sure it'll be fine but post the card too.

Alternative KVM question: if I leave the second output from my graphics card on the windows system connected to my secondary monitor and only toggle the primary 27" between the two systems, will Windows detect the first monitor as being disconnected when I switch the KVM and set the primary display as the 24" without intervention from me?

I asked this in the PC Build thread (as a follow-on question related to my custom build) but didn't get any answer so i'm moving it here: I have an SSD I bought previously that I'm planning to use as my primary storage device in my new PC. Should I do something before I turn on the pc for the first time, like steps to wipe the SSD clean? I did a quick Google search and some people said that the magician software will take care of all that but I'd just like to confirm that I shouldn't be formatting it first. I did use it a while back as external storage on my old laptop.

I realize you fixed this already, but for anyone else looking for a similar solution I used to work in an office with two computers on two separate secure networks, negating software input sharing. I ended up just using a Logitech keyboard and mouse tied to the same nano receiver run through a USB A/B switch, other than momentary lag immediately after switching between devices (similar to lag you'd encounter after plugging in a USB peripheral that was previously installed) it worked great, and the A/B switch cost less than $15 on amazon.

Okay, I haven't done any upgrades in a while and I'm a bit confused. I have two cheap Viewsonic 1080P monitors that I use in a dual display setup. They use DVI ports to connect to my GTX 460. I ordered a EVGA 960 4 GB FTW as an upgrade. It has one hdmi, one DVI-DL and three Display Port 1.2 inputs. Can I simply order a pair of these cables: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters...play+port+cable And be good to go? Will I get full resolution on both or do I need "active" cables or whatever the gently caress? Another cheaper option? I was hoping to get everything here on the same day but I just realized I had this issue a few minutes ago and my "Prime" window is closing quickly for that.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I will bring this up when I discuss it with my coworkers. I'm assuming that any given vendor will have their provisioning model set. I know polycom is an option and they seem well regarded. We currently use Cisco 303 phones which I have developed a strong dislike for. I looked into call and it is an improvement over the current system, and supported by vonage, but I think what I really want is "shared line appearance" which vonage doesn't list on their website. Or that may not be what I want at all - like you noted, each vendor seems to call these features whatever they want.

You should only need active ports for the Display Port conversion, if you get a dumb DVI-HDMI cable from Monoprice and use the DVI port for the other monitor you should be fine. Dual Link is more capable than single link, but is only used above 1920x1200.

Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes: I just built a new PC. I have an Asus Z170 motherboard, an i5 6600k, 16gb DDR4 RAM, a 960gb SSD and a 4gb Gigabyte GTX 960. I decided to run 3DMark on it and see how it did. On Fire Strike it got about 6300, but seeing the rankings for similar builds, the majority of them seem to be in the 7000-7100 range. Having not benchmarked a PC before I'm unsure how much stock i should place in the 700-800 point difference. Is it as much as it seems? Why could my set up be getting lower scores than the majority of similar builds? Does it indicate that something is awry? On Skydiver it did about 18500 which seemed in the same sort of range as the other builds. Couldn't find a thread about benchmarking so if there is one I would be grateful if someone could link it

I'm looking to buy an enclosure for an SSD, but it needs to have additional power to work with what I'm doing with it. I found this enclosure which appears to meet my needs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ID3FCRC?refRID=F51PQ4B0P5DD6GH5SG6T&ref_=pd_ybh_a_17 The problem is, that the power cable it comes with is USB. I only have one USB port available and it's obviously going to be used by the enclosure. Would I be able to use a regular 5v AC adapter instead of the USB cable it comes with? Or, would I be able to plug the USB cable into say, an old 5.1v phone charger power adapter? Or, you know, if anyone knows of a better SSD enclosure that has its own power, that would also be appreciated. Thanks. Hornet fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Dec 3, 2015 |

Yeah, just use a regular USB AC adaptor, like the kind you charge cell phones with. The problem with enclosures is that the USB 2.0 standard limits power to 500ma, which isn't -quite- enough to run some hard drives, so most of them double up on USB plugs. That said, many times I've been able to run an external on one port, and SSD's take less power than HD's, so you might be able to just use the one plug.
