Thanks edit: hmm seems like you have to use something like VAC or this, but the latter carries a .5 second delay on the second playback device which sounds awful. | ||

You pull up the recording devices window in the right-click menu of that speaker icon in the task-bar. In the list that comes up, you'll just see the microphone and line-in by default. Right-click and put a check-mark on "show disabled devices". On some boards and sound cards, the output of your audio will show up as a recording device. You can go into the properties of that recording device, and you will be able to pipe it to wherever you want. You can let Windows send the audio to the HDMI audio device. EDIT: I guess you found that method yourself from that link you provided. I didn't notice a delay when I've seen that being used. Perhaps the delay you see is on the TV's end? | ||

If I'm going to attach it to a metal part of my case, should I or shouldn't I have the PSU installed, plugged in at the wall with both the wall switch and PSU switch turned off? I've read some sources that say you shouldn't have it plugged in, others who have said you should. On the power outlets where I am, the grounding pin is exposed, so you just clamp the antistatic wristband onto that. + Show Spoiler + ![]() That's why the antistatic wristbands you get here only have a clamp and nothing else. In Australia, you might get a plug to connect to a power outlet. I've seen that somewhere else. What would work is attaching it to a radiator for room heating (that's grounded through its water pipes and stuff). Clamping it to your case sounds suspicious to me. For you and the case to be grounded, you'd have to leave it connected to a power outlet which I'd rather not do. What's true is that if you clamp it onto the disconnected case, you and your case will always have the same charge. You won't shock anything you touch in the case. That might be good enough, but I'd still rather have the wristband grounded. | ||

We don't appear to have the grounding pins exposed in this house, nor do we have a radiator or anything like that. That was the main reason I was considering the PSU/case method. Every site I've visited has basically had conflicting opinions on the matter. I think I'll just try it without the PSU plugged in and be particularly careful when handling stuff. | ||

However, the LEDs at the front of the case light up once the computer is started, so perhaps just the particular cable/header pair for the power sw are the issue. Can I just use the header for something unimportant like the reset button (which of course I never use anyway) and instead use it on the headers for the power? Additionally, my computer has a top and rear fan. Coincidentally it seems, the top fan seems to have failed when I started up the computer earlier today using the screwdriver method. It behaves erratically... sometimes spinning extremely slowly and overall being louder than usual. It is 5 years old so perhaps it just needs to be replaced. Currently have just disconnected it... | ||

Most cases give you cheap sleeve-bearing fans. For it to have lasted five years in that orientation is almost a miracle. | ||

Such a big proportion of PC builders everywhere don't just deny this, but vehemently oppose the proposition of proper grounding even when presented with clear evidence from reputable sources. Boggles my mind. | ||
