@skematica …the easiest solution was.

  • Is there a slot available?
  • Yes? Then get a card that fits in it and not waste time diagnosing the problem.

As fortune would have it, I have one PCIe slot available. (The GTX-960 takes up every other available space)

I WIN!

@skematica Ive scoured the web and elsewhere for anything that could help me determine if it's something that can be reset but to no avail.

Ubuntu's start up sound was BRRRRRAP and static. Sound has been shot since.

@kdfrawg We've been dealing with a borderline drought here. Last year and the year previous, it was weekly flooding.

Ohhh Hunter Museum is having an art opening and a sort of yoga thing. Sidekick will want to go to that. That takes care of Saturday morning at least.

After installing the card though, I'm going analog for a while.

Okay. One computer-related rask to do tonight. Install a Sound Blaster to replace the onboard Realtek that may or may not have been scrambled by something Ubuntu said to it.

This day is shaping up to be one where leaving early is a good option. I think everyone deserves that. Except me, of course. I'm cursed with responsibility.

They shouldn't have to suffer for this, though.

Watching a heated argument between SAMBA and Windows 10 at the packet level. About to send them both to time-out.

@kdfrawg Sadly, a lot of others I used to go back and forth with have gone off the deep end with political nonsense. Mute is a wonderful invention.

@kdfrawg Ahhh. There are still some app.net folk over there I like to go back and forth with.
