Back in my Xbox 360 days I had an audio adapter made by Turtle Beach that allowed me to run the sound from my A on the 360 directly into my Sony Hi-fi stereo which was amazing because it gave it base and clarity and really good sound quality, it was practically surround sound. Now the last thing I want to do is buy a speaker system for my TV when my stereo does the same job 10 times better. So my question is, can I either run all the sound from my TV through my stereo or is there a product out that at least let's my Xbox One run it's sound through it?

Alright so I just installed Windows Vista on my computer, and I have spent all day installing drivers, updating service packs and blah blah blah... so I decided I would watch Hot Tub Timemachine so I popped it in my DVD slot and Windows Media Player launched like normal, but instead of playing the movie it said Windows Media Player can't play this DVD cause I have to pay for a decoder? WTF the last time I had Vista on a computer it was playing DVD's out of the box. The copy of Vista is legit I got it through a Dreamspark program my school has with Microsoft. Am I just missing some driver or codex to get it to work? A link to a problem solver would be great... I just want this problem resolved so I can laugh a bit...

I already went to Gateway.com to look for drivers but apparently they no longer support that computer model, does anybody know another place where I can just get the drivers and not have to deal with installing software that finds the drivers my computer needs?

i thought it was just supposed to print whatever was in the "" and just not check it for coding errors but for some reason when i try to compile it so it shows that it sais error...

i had a massive virus on windows so i switched to ubuntu and i was wondering if my favorite pc game, dc universe would work on linux

I was considering purchasing a Gateway M6846 and upgrading it to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and than using it exclusively for school. While this is not a major concern in whether i will buy it or not it would still be nice to know. The Gateway M6846 comes with 4GB of DDR2 ram, but i would like to put 4GB of DDR3 ram into it eventually, I was just wondering if that was possible. Thanks for taking the time to read this question, have a great day

Hi so my friend told me that Windows 8 was amazing and that its better than 7... let's just say its not for me. I need to get back to Windows 7, i did the update thing so i kept all my media but changed from 7 to 8, can anybody here tell me how to revert back to 7?

my code has 100 errors and i have no idea where to start... can somebody help me get the first few out of the way so i can at least be on the right track? My eode is way to long to paste in here so answer with an email and i will send it to you if you can. I am begging some kind soul to help me in the next hour an 22 minutes, btw my code is in java coding language

First i am having trouble with the AI, i know how i want it to work with a guess random method and certain parameters to follow if the guess is right, if wrong continue the same process. The real issue i am having with my AI is how it is supposed to place its pieces on the board at random with no over laps.

Second issue i am having is how to move each object, i was going to use a key listener but... wait i just figured it out nm on that one lol, but i am still having trouble making it so it is recognized like when they type in the coordinates they want to fire at how do i make it say direct hit...

Third this is mostly a cosmetic issue but still i want it to look nice, how do i import music and sound affects like i was thinking i would do it like

if (hit = true)

{

import music

}

but that import music thing was just logic i do not know what method to use in order to make that happen.

Alright so last night when i first installed windows vista it gave me a choice of which Operating System i wanted to boot into Vista or Consumer copy of Windows 8. I chose Vista the first time but I could not get to the internet to download the drivers i needed so i went to my Windows 8 half to get those... well i found them on my own and put them on a flash drive and I turned my computer off hoping that when i turned it back on it would give me the choice Vista or 8. Instead it booted right into 8. How am i supposed to make it give me the choice again?

but my new problem is that i can't access the internet to get the drivers i need for it to do anything, if i can just get a program that works with my internet card and vista so i could access the internet that would be perfect and i could do the rest from there. side not Vista is not so bad with 8gb of ram and a i5 processor maybe they should have waited till technology was better before the launched it

I need to install vista onto a partition, i really do not wanna explain my reasons but of course if i am considering vista they must be serious. So please can you help me out with this? My current issue is that when i try to install vista onto any partition it said i do not have enough space for it now last i checked vista did not take up over 97gb...

alright so i am completely on how to code Conway's game of life. It is due tomorrow at midnight and so far all i have to offer is the rules with most of it just in logic form... I have absolutely no idea how to add graphics to it. It does not have to anything really special just text based with some user input for size and generations simulated. And how do you make it slow down the while loop so it does not just find the end result but show the changes in the JFrame.

import java.util.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.geom.*;

import javax.swing.*;

public class Conways_Life extends JComponent

{

//user input on life cycles and grid size

Scanner rote = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("How many life cycles would you like to simulate?");

int z = rote.nextInt();

Scanner grid = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("How big would you like the Y axis to be on your grid?");

int h = grid.nextInt();

Scanner grid2 = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("How big would you like the X axis to be on your grid");

int w = grid2.nextInt();

/*public colorSet(String q)

{

Scanner color = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("What color would you like your cells to be?");*/

//setting up counter variable for cut off point

int c = 0;

public int x = 0;

public int y = 0;

public int a = 10;

public int e = 0;

public int d = 0;

/*Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population.

Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.

Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.

Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.*/

while (c <= z)

{

while ( y <= h )

{

while ( x <= w )

{

Rectangle Cell = new Rectangle(x, y, a, a);

g2.setColor(Color.);

g2.fill

x+a;

}

y+a;

}

if ( <1 || >3 )

{set.visable(false);}

if ( dead cell neighbors = 3)

{set.visable(true);}

if (== 2 || == 3)

{set.visable(true);}

c+1;

}

}

as you cans see from the crudity this is my code i have worked on it for the last week and i am stuck at this point. This is truly my last resort please if somebody on here could assist me it would be greatly appreciated.

here is what it is supposed to look like minus the buttons those are really not needed especially cause we have not been taught how to do them yet.

http://www.bitstorm.org/gameoflife/

i am selling my old netbook to a friend and he wants me to wipe everything off of it before he buys it. i thought it would be easier than it is turning out to be. i just would like step by step instructions that do not involve a windows or any other os boot disk. thank you in advance.

me and my long distance friend wanna watch a movie together but because of the distance we can not is there any way i can share what is on my screen with her and have the sound work too lol.

when i turn my computer on and attempt to boot Ubuntu normally i get this message in white letters and a black background sorta like the terminal except full screen it sais BusyBox v1.18.4 (Ubuntu 1:1.18.4-2ubuntu2) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands. It has never done this before so i am totally confused and nervous a fast answer would be greatly appreciated. if it is any help the last time i used it i closed it without properly shuting down and when i opened it again it was taking forever for it to load up so i turned it off and than back on and this happened.

/******************************************************************

* The GiftBag class is used to represent a gift bag that will

* hold gifts. The gift bag has a weight limit which is defined when creating the gift bag.

* (this is a hint for the constructor, it needs this weight)

*

* The GiftBag class keeps track of the current weight of all

* the gifts in the bag, and allows you to add as many gifts

* as you want, even over the intended weight limit.

*

* The GiftBag class has a method that will return the status message

* of the bag, depending on the weight of all the gifts in the

* bag. The status messages are:

*

* status

* "Message"

*

* less than 1/2 full (total weight is less than half of the capacity)

* "Not even half full, plenty of room for more gifts."

*

* 1/2 full or more (total weight is half or more of the capacity, but less than capacity)

* "More than half full, but room for more gifts."

*

* full(total weight of the gifts equals the capacity.)

* "Full, all set!"

*

* overfull (total weight of the gifts is less than half of the capacity)

* "You must remove some gifts!."

one thing is that i can not change the tester

here are my errors

normally when i write the code like that it works just fine but not this time for some reason, here is the rest of my code if you need it.

I have a broken folder issue and from my research it said to fix it i have to reset vram or something, i was wondering what this all means and if it is fixable and if it is by reseting the vram how do i do that?
