weirdly enough keep getting a ctaud2k.sys error, so my soundblaster doesn't work.
I think I have had this problem before, not sure what i have done to fix it...
so for now onboard audio or wireless headset.
When you know you still use an old hardware device...
Still sounding better then onboard audio so I am sticking with it.
Finally finishing my new PC after months of delay, it all kinda stopped after my mom died in June.
Now finally finishing up a project.
Still have an Audigy somewhere from my old PhenomII build. I should check if it still works cause as you all said, it still sounds better than anything onboard today.
Congrats on finishing the upgrade brother 👏😀

I have an old X-fi somewhere, also an Audigy, and a Sound Blaster Z that I upgraded from last upgrade I did, still using creative Sound Blaster, just newer, forgot the exact model
They all are better than any onboard sound you have today, even in high end motherboards.

Thank you all for the b'day wishes.
Turning 50... not feeling any different then I was 49 and 364 days, probably not feeling different then 50 years and 1 day.
Was hoping to properly celebrate my 50th, but like this year has been so far with the passings of both my parents and instant money issues resulting of that.. there was no mentally and monetary room to host a proper party.
So... I skipped my b'day, it was the lesser of bad choices.
I hope to somehow treat myself on Battlefield 6 that's coming… See More
in about 8 weeks to gift myself a b'day present but I'll see by then if it's anywhere close to a viable option.
I stopped celebrating mine a long time ago.
45 and my last one, like others was more interesting to other people than it was to me.
Happy for other people to celebrate, enjoy theirs though and I hope you are able to do that next year.

I had to call in help of a grievance counselor, yesterday had my first talk with him.
My life is pretty much on pause now for 8 weeks already, awake 21-24 hours per day.
I also started with meds, I talked with the doc about temporary using temazopam, but the side effects are worse then the end-goal so I called the doc's office yesterday to say that I'm not taking it anymore. So let's just hope that with counseling I can get my life back on track.
It's going to be an insane time ahead, taxes other stuff… See More
of my parents, the money I had to loan for the funeral.... I'm about 6 grand in the hole... it's going to take a long time to get out of it but I will pay every dime no matter how long it takes.
Lost both of my parents within 3 months of each other. First my Dad, then my Mom. Fortunately, many decades ago, they had purchased a plot that included funeral services, interment and burial. They both wanted to be cremated, so that made it easier on my sister to take them to Indiana. Me, two trips to Oregon from California, first for my Dad and then for my Mom. I spent an additional 2 months, cleaning up, packing up, giving away furniture, in their apartment, before returning home.
It was hard,… See More
but like you, I reached out to a grief counselor, my Pastor and my friends. I think the grief counselor helped the most, being a "stranger", having a more open mind and defining what I felt the most depressed about. I refused the medication offer, I found them to be worse then the depression. Stay strong, stay the course, I will continue to pray for you and your family! If you need to talk to me, just PM me.

You should try a schiit stack audio setup! Or see what Drop has! Bot offer ab it more than sound blaster does. Although I think sound blaster does offer game based technology, but better music quality from drop or schiit
