Interesting. I'll try it, thanks.

Dalchina:

Boot partitions have a suicide prevention bit that prevents diskpart from touching them. Guess I'll go 3rd party. Thanks!

On the advice of Dalchina, I created a Macrium Recovery USB and booted from that. It fixed the old boot drive and I have booted from it several times. Disconnected the Crucial BX SSD as I had...

Win 10 pro version 21H1 patched.

Preparatory to migrating to Win 11, I decided to clone my Win 10 boot to a spare Crucial BX500 480Gb SSD, one of a pair I have. Diskpart cleaned one but the other...

Didn't expect to see this. I'm old so my memories of having explained my fix and of thanking those who helped may not be real or may have been in another forum.

I reduced the sampling rate and...

Opened the speaker properties and dropped the sample rate from 48000 (dvd quality) TO 44100 (cd) and it fixed the problem.

I did experiment with higher rates and all presented the noise.

Thanks for the recommendation. I did download those realtek drivers from GigaByte 4 days ago but they made no difference. This looks like a bottomless hole.
Would installing a separate sound...

Noise is ruining my recordings of mostly classical music (WAVE examples attached). It started on replacement of a faulty mobo with a newer, more capable, GigaByte Z690 UD DDR4. Others have...

My pops and noise came with a new GigaByte Z690 UD DDR4 mobo installed two weeks ago

Dear friends, IT’S FIXED!
Thank you Fireberd, Sygnus21, Bobkn, and Megahertz for your suggestions. I learned something from everybody but it was Megahertz who inadvertently pointed me at the...

Sygnus21:
Where did I get F1 for my version of the BIOS? From the BIOS screen, itself. F3 came from Gigabyte and sort-of works so it can't be the wrong BIOS.

I have many problems with Z690 UD...

And, how would I do that?

Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4 mobo purchased with CPU. As of Friday morning, I can boot into Windows 10 Pro ONLY if the boot drive is ALONE.
When I connect my data HD spinning disk (Toshiba 3Tb) and the...

Thanks for the suggestion. This "old" thing is getting to be a problem. I dimly remember having an external boot utility on a thumb drive but I can't remember the name. If I can boot the box off a...

Thanks, Fireberd, for the link, I installed the new driver and the Nahimic3RestoreETC, that I had never seen before, it had exactly the same result. No output but the input Master Volume line shows...
