This happens when I am booting up into windows, shutdown or things in which I access the harddrive excessively. It doesn't happen all the time. I have checked it with "Crystal disk Info" and it displays no problem, and shows HDD to perfectly fine. Should I be worried about my HDD? I have Hitachi HDD in laptop.
Some times my harddrive temps reach…
When I leave my MacBook Pro 13" level for a minute or two (sometimes I only need to keep it level for a few seconds), and then pick it up and turn it on it's horizontal axis, I hear a single click, coming from either the hard drive or the Super Drive.
Is the click I am hearing some sort of locking mechanism in the hard drive? Or in the Super…
I am having problems playing video in Winamp (the movie I am trying to play is an AVI - not sure if other formats work). I have installed the K-Lite Codec Pack, and the video does work in Winamp Classic. I can also play the video in Winamp on another machine (although I can't remember the exact configuration details of that machine - and I…
I'm interested in installing a custom driver / device that will open a socket (or listen) and stream audio via TCP/IP in both Windows and Linux.
I would like to be able to specify this device as my "Output" for specific applications so that I can route my audio through a completely unique machine (for example, in complex Synergy setups…
I currently just bought a new USB headset to replace my old mic. I put everything in order today and i can hear people talk when i'm logged in through Ventrilo, however, i get no game sounds or music playing from anything else. Just only from the Ventrilo people talking i can hear them.
I have the Vista operating system installed.…
After a bit back and forth with configuring Drupal and nginx to work together, I've come up with the below configuration for a site. It works well, both with private and public file systems. However, as I am fairly new to nginx I'd like to hear if there is something with this configuration that I should change (for

I've a Dell Optiplex 960 (which I presume has a speaker inside the tower). This speaker is normally in use whenever I play music (lets call this "tower speaker"), and when I insert my headphones in the 3.5mm jack (of the tower), the tower speaker stops and the music is played through the headphones (an obvious thing to happen).…
I would like to be able to listen to music on both of two audio output devices, but Windows 7 seems to only allow me to select one or the other as the Default device. When device A is the Default device, device B is muted; and vice versa. This seems to be stunningly inflexible.
Since Windows 7 is unable to do this, can…

I'm in the process of switching from AVAudioPlayer to OpenAL using the Finch sound engine. I need to do metering, i.e. get the average peak levels. Finch sound engine does not provide this, and I'm completely new to OpenAL. How can I do this? Any examples would be really appreciated.
I'm trying to play background music along with sound effects using Qt. However, I can't get more than one sound to play at once. For example:
QSound::play("Music.wav");
QSound::play("Effect.wav");
When this code is run (on Windows), you can hear Music.wav just start to play, but then it stops and Effect.wav…

Randomly, or at system sound (usb connect for example) Windows 8 lowers the volume of all other sources. (Same problem can exist on windows 7, just look online).
This is happening because of the "communication detection" made to detect phone calls and then lower volume. But in my case it…

I have recently purchased a set of G35 headphones.
They seem to be very loud when I use them on Windows, but when I try and use them on Fedora 14, they are very quiet and I can't seem to make them louder. I have obviously checked the sound settings in Gnome, and they are all up…
