Everything looks good. Let’s set it up and listen to music, play PC games and watch DVDs!
Writing in an article like this about yourself in the third person feels awkward, especially when it’s not consistent and one sentence later it’s back to in the first person. It would be better not to refer to yourself in the third person at all here. It makes for uncomfortable reading.
Of course, this is a wholly personal opinion, but it’s not without merit when it comes to the unwritten rules of writing.
The information itself was very much appreciated, though.
Take care.
I agree with dopdop… just say your first person piece in first person… this isn’t english class with its pretentious BS… there is nothing wrong with saying something in first person if it needs to be said.
I bought this card to output my audio to my 5.1 Speakers. Frankly they sound great. Impressive, even. I hooked it up to an old mac mini, which is then output to a 7 year old sony. I get great video from the mac. Now all I need to do is hook up the RCA Y cable from the TV to the line In on the sound card.
Nothing happens. I’ve been trying for over a month. Tech support is no help. I’m just tired of moving cables when I want to change program.
Am I offbase?
I think this is among the most important information for me. And i am glad reading your article. But should remark on few general things, The site style is ideal, the articles is really great : D. Good job, cheers
Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Thus let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! “Life is a continual upgrade.” by J. Mark Wallace.
