I thought I would bump this thread to mention my resolution to the problem. I got the SB-1000 subwoofer, and stereo speakers with an amp.
Firstly, bass redirection is not available in 2.1 mode on the SB-Z.
My first setup was taking the stereo output from the card and put it into the sub. I...
I assume you are taking a new/working controller board and swapping the firmware chip from the dead board onto it. This would then involve removing the firmware chips from both boards, and putting the old firmware chip on the new board. What type of IC is it? (Does it have 'feet' like this, pads...
For those that don't want to mess with completely wiping the device: you can root the device and allow sideloading of 'unapproved' apps by following the directions here. It basically involves booting from an SD card and flashing a few files.
I got the HD+ to replace my aging Nook color, and I...
Thanks for the recommendation. Is it possible to use the 'bass redirection' feature with the speakers set to 2.1 mode? Ideally, the speakers would be set as 2.1, but the bass would be split and output on a dedicated channel (sort of like how AV receivers do it).
If I have to use the high...
I am considering getting the Soundblaster Z to upgrade my dodgy X-fi sound card. However, I have a question for the current owners about the speaker setup. My speakers consist of a set of bookshelf speakers attached to a small amplifier. The input of the amplifier attaches to the stereo line out...
My PS3 died. :( Oh well, I pretty much only used it as a blu-ray player anyways. My games are up for sale. The PS3 itself will be for sale as well, in case anyone wants it. I am wiping the hard drive first.
Bump!
I finished wiping and testing four 640GB hard drives this weekend, as well as a few smaller ones. Anyone interested in some vintage 400MB hard drives? :p
Oh, and bump!
Well, it is time for me to try to get rid of some more stuff I have lying around. More stuff will be added as I find and photograph it.

How about the Habey EMC-600B or EMC-800BL? I used the 800BL for a small router. You can remove the ugly white plastic thing from the front and it is pretty good.
Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my current computer. I have noticed some slowdowns in games recently. Specifically, Skyrm with a bunch of mods, Batman AC, and Metro 2033. I currently have a i7 920 CPU at stock speeds and a Radeon 5870 video card. I was thinking of simply upgrading my video card...
It's pretty quiet in here...
I am a fan of sparkfun for their tutorials. I started with the Beginning embedded electronics tutorials. I don't use Arduino, but I am pretty sure they have tutorials for that as well.
I agree that the achievements you get for playing the game are kinda dumb, but they don't particularly bother me. I don't typically look at the achievements unless I am really enjoying the game and want to do some extra stuff.
On a fun side note: I recently beat Serious Sam 3. There is an...
I have used DDRescue to make an image of a failing drive. It worked pretty good for my purposes. It will copy the entire drive bit-for-bit. This means you need a place to put the image that is bigger than the hard drive you are imaging.
Hey EA, I've got a great idea for a ME3 promotion: have a sale on the ME2 DLC. That way, those of us who haven't bothered with the DLC because it costs several times what the base game costs are caught up on the story. That would also give me an incentive the replay the game, and maybe get me...
I felt this exact same way. I got it for $5 on a Steam sale, and I thought it was okay. As someone that played the previous games, it was fun to hear the one-liners again. Some of the vehicle sections sucked, but they were pretty short and so it wasn't that bad. Also, there is an option that...
PolygonGTC: Thanks for the alternate build. I am not sure I like that case, but I will keep those parts in mind. I had originally planned to store movies on my server, but I have this hard drive lying around, and I don't think it will add much noise to the system.
What case did you use? It...
