Long time no see! I haven't been written anything for a long time, but something happened to me recently. Something so EPIC that I just have to share! My computer is my entertainment centre for music, movies and TV series. It's something I turn to unwind at the end of the day. It's also a server of sorts - always up and running, 24/7. One fine evening, I noticed that the sound coming out of my Edifier M3300 2.1 speakers had suddenly gone really soft. I had to maximize the audio volume, and boost the volume control in Media Player Classic to hear anything clearly. Unfortunately, video clips on Youtube and Facebook were inaudible unless I move myself to within 2 feet of the speakers! Link : ED#155 : Bad Day - Always Reboot Windows First!
