@powerpuppies - PVC means Bogart has to head down to the Windchester and wait for this whole thing to blow-over.
In reality, it's an artifact of a lot of proto-technologies as the telco based internet was switching from dial-up style connections to persistent always-on point-to-point DSL connections. It usually requires manual configuration and setup on one or both ends for the connection to be established.

I have Unsolved Mysteries on as background noise, and Matthew McConaughey is playing a murder victim. And he's shirtless, of course.

Hey, I think I've asked this once before so apologies, but
I've never liked the onboard sound on this motherboard - it's quiet generally, and lacks bass, and doesn't support any kind of EQ software - and I'm not sure if it's the onboard sound or my deteriorating ears (or headphones). I think the first thing I should change is adding an external...sound card? pre-amp?

What do I need, and can someone suggest one?
i use the creative sound blaster z and its great
although maybe check your headphones with another device to see if that's whats causing issues?

Most onboard audio these days is pretty decent (and usually one of a few identical implementations), unless you have a particularly shitty DAC the limiting factor is usually the speakers

I'd start with a good set of headphones, personally. If you've already got decent reproduction and it's still a problem then yeah, you'll want a USB DAC or external soundcard.
Onboard sound is perfectly serviceable, albeit not outstanding these days. Most people never bother with more, because like the MP3 format, it's good enough. But if you're more discerning, there are other options out there.
I mean, I don't know if I do? I have a set of HyperX Clouds from 2014, which were well-reviewed at the time and I remember giving decent sound. I think this all happened - or at least I first noticed it - when I switch motherboards last year. Most of what irks me is that my unboard audio won't support drivers that can run an Equalizer.
An external soundcard is just a DAC that plugs into a PCI-E slot, right? Do I need an amp (amp just amplifies volume, right?) Do DAC's also function as an amp?

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
I'm like, oh, hey, this series has good buzz, mebbe I'll look into it
And then inevitably it's like hard-to-impossible to get a hold of in any format other than individual paper issues, and it's like 3-5 dollars per issue
inevitably I just give up, there's no reason to sink 100 bucks into one story when I could buy like 10 books for that and have them all delivered straight to my kindle

So tmz is reporting that kim Jung un is dead or in a vegetable state. I can't find any other source reporting this. Anyone have one? This could be a very big deal. Probably very bad but you never know
Edit I hope this isn't considered political no whwre else to post it and was wondering if someone had a better news source.

The US intelligence services reported he was in a coma/a vegetable a couple days ago, then backed off on it a bit. Then Japan reported he's a vegetable too. And there's been no refutation from NK, nor did he show up for the Kim Il-sung birthday celebration on the 15th.

if you order one of those sound cards, just make sure to turn it down first
i run mine at like, 30% volume and its the same as running onboard sound at 100
Yeah but it's always pictured as palms and feet because wrists and ankles is gross
