Have you gone into settings and made sure this device is set as your microphone?

We use it in ham radio to get rid of interference when our radios activate things like our neighbor's hammond organ. (LOL) It is a donut shaped/size metal thingy that goes around a cord and somehow

Please forgive me, but what on earth is a toroid? Love in Christ Marty For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this

I was wondering when laptops will start being shipped with ARM processors, like our phones use, and here is a good story on

That is a fantastic recommendation. Latitude series has always been reliable and Dell business warranty is very nice, at least in my experience, and those are some specs that will do you for quite

There is a lot going on in here... if you want a capable computer, the one I usually recommend to my students is the Dell latitude 5500 With 512 GB SSD i7 16gb RAM. Boots fast and performs well.

As suggested earlyier use the standard headset provided by the company with a earbud under it. The guy will hear the customer and jaws and the customer will only hear the guy not jaws. You will need a

My 4th gen I7 4790K running at 4.0GHz is just as fast as my 8th gen I5 running at the same speed. Both have 16GB RAM and SSD's. You cant tell whitch is whitch unless you check the system info.

Benchmarks tell an 8th of the story. In every day performance, it means nothing. Slow to one person may not be slow to another and that $500 extra spent on the i9 processor wouldn't be noticeable to

No.  i9 is just higher than i7, the generation number is still the same, with all the newest ones starting out with 9's. I wonder if an i9 in a laptop could even outrun an i5 in a desktop of the

Microsoft will eventually have to write its OS to work on ARM processors. That is the processors that our phones and tablets use. ARM processors don't come close to the capability of some of the

Eh, not really. This laptop runs 8 GB and its only problem is the processor's 4+ years old. If you're not slapping VMware on the thing you'll do fine in most cases. Just slap another stick of memory

Speaking of windows fast startup, I have had nothing but problems with it on everything I've tried. From missing system tray icons to issues with speech, I can't recommend running away from it fast

Nah, i3's are terrible. There's a reason they're in the entry level PC's. If you just need a $400 laptop so mom can check Facebook, it works. If you want to actually use it, though, probably go

16 GB of ram is the new 8 these days and is well worth the bump in price and will be in the long term, too. An internet browser that used to take up a few hundred MB can now take upwards of 2, 3, and

You're not wrong, but that has its own stability issues. And if you don't have money to burn, that's not going to be an option--I haven't found a machine sporting that kind of setup for less than

Hi, No, there is an i9 processor out now. The current 9th generation lineup for laptops as I understand it. There are i3 (4 cores, 4 threads) i5 (4 cores, 8 threads) i7 (depending on the variant of

Okay. So not an issue with your computer. Interesting. Without knowing more about your setup I think I'd just be guessing at this point. But it's fairly safe to say nothing you're actually doing is

I'd be inclined to agree, but then, I do most of my computer usage with a headset these days, and have a dedicated speaker system that used to be attached to a desktop for when I'm at home, so I

There is also Intel optane memory, which I have no experience with, but is supposed to bring ssd-like performance to mechanical drives over time by writing important files, such as boot files and
