Неизвестная музыка в наушниках
Когда сижу в наушниках в одном ухе тихо играет музыка. Пробовал закрывать все приложения, смотреть в микшере громкости - проблему не нашел. Прибавление звука системы звук музыки не прибавляет. Музыка явно не из моего плейлиста. Наушники подключены по проводу. Что это может быть и как это можно исправить?

lost mbr? drive is not accessible or corrupted error
I have about a dozen 2.5" & 3.5" SATA HDs, no bigger than 4TB that I have been using for years without issue. They are used in conjunction with via a WAVLINK eternal docking station, holds 2 drives" to USB. Recently, one HDs, 3TB one, when I tried to use it, I got an error message, "invalid parameter", "drive is not accessible or corrupted" or something like that. So I used the DSK command in Window 11 and it showed up as a "healthy drive" but showed up as "RAW" (needed to be formatted basically of course) instead of NTFS as it should be. I took this situation to be a fluke but just now, with two 4TB drives in at the same time in the docking station, the same thing happened TO THEM BOTH. I had them connect to my laptop for several hours then suddenly got the "drive not accessible" error. Same issue as before basically and back to RAW. Correct me if I'm wrong but does this very likely indicate that the docking station is creating this problem all of a sudden? It's either that or my laptop is sending something out to the drives that is causing this. Give me your opinion. My bottom question is, I'm assuming the MBR got corrupted or disappeared, of course there could be something else but it's been a very long time since I have messed with HDs on this level. Is there any way without having to send the drives out to have them professionally recovered, something I can do myself at home to re access the drives normally? Thanks in advance, Jim.
HDD трещит в простое
Добрый день, такая проблема:
HDD WD Purple 6 TB, во время работы видет себя тихо, даже если на него что-то скидываю или с него воспроивожу (ну или вообще, хоть что-то делается на компе, абсолютно все что угодно = треска нет)
Если комп стоит несколько минут без дела, то HDD начинает трещать
Стоит мне хотя бы мышку сдвинуть, треск исчезает
Как это устронить?
How to fix missing sound drivers after system restore?
I performed an overnight system restore on my Lenovo Ideapad laptop. When I logged in, there was an "X" on my sound system, which translated in to missing driver. I attempted to update through Device Manager, but it came back as driver missing. How do I fix this problem?

To TRIM or to Defrag? Or Both!!??
I have two WD 3.6Tb external USB3 drives for backups and storage. These are both deffo HDD! I have discovered that they are TRIM enabled ... BUT, you don't trim HD's, do you??? I have had had trouble with them in the past due to increasing slowness and defragmentation. Sometimes Defrag Ultimate just couldn't finish a HDD defrag or gave up and stood still, but didn't crash either! Defrag Ultimate treats them as HDD's, but I am wondering if actually SSD Trimming them and then HDD Defragging them might solve or reduce my problems. But, I don't want to try this if I am going to damage them. So how should I treat them generally and within Defrag Ultimate
Confused.

How to fix “Driver is unavailable” errors?
My Win 10 (64bit) PC can find my Epson printer on my local network, connected by ethernet cable to my router, and installs the "necessary files". However, afterward in my settings it shows the printer with "Driver is Unavailable" and nothing will print. Both my wife's PC and all of our iPhones/iPads have no issues printing so I know it is connected properly and functional. The only device having an issue is my PC. I have removed the printer and reinstalled it multiple times with the same result. I have also downloaded and installed the newest drivers available from Epson for this printer but somehow my computer does not seem to be able to find or recognize them. A support request has been sent to Epson but so far any suggestions from their automated response system have not be successful.

“Disk repair” Function Takes Over
Hi,
1 . There was NO Sucategory that matched my Question so I picked 3D Builder <-- ignore please.
This morning was the second time that my laptop was taken over by a “disk repair” function that I think is linked with BoostSpeed. I start up my laptop and something begins churning away telling me that it will take 8 hours to complete. Actually it could not tell time correctly because it took 3 ½ hours before I could use the laptop.
Q: How to prevent this happening again? At least giving me the option to say OK do it now or wait?
Thanks,
Michel
How to record audio from turntable (Line level) to laptop?
I would like to record audio from my turntable (Line level) to my Dell 5567 Laptop. The only Recording device that windows detects (listed in the "Recording" tab of the "Sound" dialogue box) is "Microphone" Obviously I don't want to use Microphone as the Recording device.
I would like to use the 3.5mm Jack Speaker/Headphone socket as the Recording input device, but although it is listed as a Playback device, it is not listed as a Recording device.

USB Flash Drive is corrupted and not readable
I have a corrupted USB drive and now I can't access anything on it. I don't care about the files on it now. I would like to know is there a way to UN-corrupt it in your tools. I would just like to be able to use it. It's a pretty new flash drive - only used a few times. I think I killed it when I pulled it out after it gave me a warning. I wasn't able to get the warning to go away.
Thanks.
