I had a dream that i got HDMi audio pass through working to my AV receiver from my 1080Ti last night. Obviously ive attempted it before but never managed to get it to play nice. so first thing i did when i got out of bed was get it working again. Now i have DP doing the video and the HDMi doing the audio.

Ive taken out my SB-Z for now to see how it goes.

this guy always makes some nice stuff.

bit of a random question. Does anyone have a really low end graphics card like a GT710 or older that has HDMi spare??

Not low end but I might have a GTX 670 or something spare going around from my older bro previous setup..need to ask him if he hasn't recycled it yet.
Also ebay have another 20% off code on selected stores..£350-360 for 5700 XT Pulse is a pretty good deal.

Too powerful for my needs but thank you

::EDIT::

Well. It seems my little experiment failed. WIndows 10 refuses to allow me to use my 1080Ti with a GT210 plugged in at the same time.

I was hoping to have the GT210 be a audio card but windows wouldnt let me. Reading up on it i can see that Nvidia changed the way drivers work so that got blocked.

haha I am no one to talk, I own about 10 headphones, 3 amps, and 2 dacs at the moment. mostly budget ones. i buy used and sell used a lot over on head-fi site. we all hav eour interests and hobbies, and go overboard from time to time

I wouldn't mind a new hi-fi but I'm wondering about heading more into the AV side of things.. Having 5 boxes and putting into one box is something that I'd like to do lol I'd just like the audio quality to be as decent or better than what I have now Most of my interests are techy but I don't mind that

you can still do small and get much better sound than on-board. schiit looks too expensive in europe. but i see jds labs atom amp for 130 pound, then its just matter of what headphones/sound signature you want.

This is for my home cinema, so I'll be replacing my Linn pre/power system and Yamaha processor I've had it about 18 years, so I'd like to try and update it at some point. It's still working and sounding amazing so I need to find something that will be as good or better when I do replace it. I was looking at an Arcam FMJ AV amp/processor, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I could try out

oh ok you know a lot more about speakers and speaker amps than me. I mostly only do headphones. Someday I will make the move to speakers though ^^

Have a good weekend mate, enjoy your holidays with the family

I was out last night with the work Christmas do, was a lovely evening, lots of food and laughs Perfect night out !!

I love my audio equipment.. Ever since I was about 12 years old I've had hi-fi separates.. I started with a Nad 310, Marantz CD-63 and a pair of Mission 731 speakers I loved it!!

EDIT -

@FreedomEclipse

I found these.....

Would either of these be of any use? Apologies, I should have put that piece of paper in the pic with my name on..

@Xx Tek Tip xX
Just for reference as I've already sent you a PM with a few more details -

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I cant actually see what those cards are apart from one being a firepro card. The other looks like a 4350? Unfortunately its not supported by Win10 so is of no use. THanks for having a look though.

 

[phill]

You are correct sir, 4350 Silent

My only other base card is a R7 240 2Gb, would that be of any use?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Within reason!

but even thats a little too high end for what i want it for

Ive currently got my eye on a AMD 6450 on ebay - if that falls through then i'll give you a shout for that R7

 

[phill]

No worries

I don't really have many base cards, I tend to just use whatever is floating about at the time... Reminds me, I have my EVGA 1070 SC back now.... Must put that in a rig....

Hundreds of fake McDonald's coffee stickers found in man's car

"McDonald's said anyone with counterfeit stickers would be refused a free drink."

But how are they going to know that its fake if its already fooled people and looked legit enough???

Training staff takes time and money. Staff also wont give a f**k at all - Its not their pocket the money is coming out of, why should they care? If the staff are going to call a supervisor or shift manager over each and every time to validate a person's free coffee voucher that will slow the overall service down quite significantly.


Are they going to hire a guy in each store just to study the stickers underneath a microscope every time someone tries to exchange for a free coffee??

The smart thing would be to create a sticker with some sort of hologram that cant be counterfeited but the problem with that is it costs money... But i guess they can pass that on to the customer like they always do.

Funny world aye..kinda like people selling the Nandos stamping thing on ebay so you can stamp on their reward visit card to get free whole chicken.

The levels people will go to to get something free... At least I guess they are thinking outside the box?? I see a few posts on Facebook with people selling the McDonalds coffee stickers.. I did wonder if they where legit or not....

Leechers/Attempt to make profit off something limited..kinda like the people that went to line-up at the temporary Pokemon Center in Shepards bush London to pick up the exclusive Pikachu plush for £20-30 quid and then try flog them off for £50+, insult to genuine fans that lined up to pick one up for themselves.

It seems to be the norm sadly now I mean I was seeing 3950X's on sale at Amazon for like £1050... I just don't get it at all..
