Please advise: My soundcard is too "quiet"

Here's the deal: I'm using my onboard sound right now. I'm pretty sure it's a VIA audio controller. It seems much to quiet to me. My problem is the level of sound coming out of the headphone/line out. When I turn the volume up all the way (on the computer media player), I have to turn the...

RANT: What is with all you men here? Can't a male have close female friends? (updated with PICS)

ajayjuneja came out of the closet to say... Your lack of consistency in your logic makes me wonder. My guess is that you don't get much romantic attention, so you substitute it with being 'affectionate'. Also, how come no one reads poetry to their heterosexual same-sex friends? Because...

Help a person with mental illness?

Yeah, don't listen to what any of us say. None of us are doctors who have met the person. With that said, I'll throw in my two cents (as a lowly psych major). She may be manic, but true mania (or even hypomania) is something that lasts for a while--the DSM IV says a manic episode has to last...

Can I keep a TV on the roof in a garbage bag?

LOLLARBLADES!!1!11!! Life's gotta be pretty dull for this to be that funny. Seriously, the guy asked for suggestions. I think an outdoor tv container would be pretty sweet. For roofs, porches, whatever.

I disagree. I think it's a good idea. Perhaps you could make a canopy type container to prevent rain from getting in. Use a crappy tv, though.

Yep, you got a good deal for what you want. You got a dvd player, receiver, speakers and a sub. And you didn't pay too much. Before everyone jumps on me for saying "the stuff is all cheaply made, blah blah blah", think about what he wants. I live in an apartment where noise is not an issue...

I work with kids (ages 13-21) with mental disabilities. Some know, some don't seem to know. It seems like it depends on the severity of the disability. The ones with the most severe disabilities probably don't know. Or, they know they're different, but it's not really an issue because they...

It is gonna start at 8/7 central, and from what I hear it is going to be the last one ever. Such a shame, it's the funniest show on tv. What I don't get is that if it is doing so poorly, why have they been running it for an hour each week? Anyone have any ideas why?

YMMV, but garage sales are always good places to start looking for stuff. People want to get rid of stuff because it is old, but a lot of times older top of the line stuff can match just about any new set of speakers. Might be worth a try. I picked up a 240W Marantz receiver, and a couple of...

I heard their ad on the radio in Green Bay, but never around Madison (where I go to school). Apparently, it is valid in the entire EinsteinPCS service area (not very big). But 39.99 for unlimited airtime (out of state long distance extra) isn't a bad deal. It is all digital (like Sprint)...

I don't think either system is particularily a bad deal, but it just depends on how much you are into it. You said that you didn't want to blow the walls down, but 40W isn't a lot of power if there is other noise in your house. Also, at some point down the road, if you want to upgrade a part...
