Turtle Beach Z22 Headset Audio cuts out, WIN 10 / MSI Realtek HD

Image
Well set up my old Turtle Beach Z22 Headset, so I could voice call via the PC, but as many know it has a annoying thing where the audio cuts out at low levels during video and games. Searched the internet and tried all sorts of things. Seems I may have fixed it but playing around with all sorts of settings. First thing to change was in Audio Devices. Set to Default Device and check only Loudness Equalization. Under Enhancements. In Levels move the slider to MAX (100) And in Recording Tab, Set as default Device and in Advanced uncheck everything. Like below. then in Realtek HD Audio Manager, Moved both bottom sliders to max. Also in settings checked the following boxes. Then in the sound effects Tab. Moved the Main Volume slider up to Max. Volume is now controlled only via the In-line Amplifier with the PC audio set to MAX This all seems to work for me, if ya see this, it may or may not work for you.

Cloudy Rhubarb cordial

Image
Slowly cook 450g of rhubarb, and a frozen ginger cube, with 300ml of water in a big pan with the lid on, for 15 mins until it's completely soft and mushy.  Strain the rhubarb through a sieve, catching the juice. For every litre of juice you have, add 500g sugar and 60ml lemon juice. Heat until just below boiling point to dissolve the sugar, then bottle into sterilised bottles. Dilute with water to taste. (about 25ml per 500ml) NOTES: Made about 500ml of rhubarb juice, so used 250g of sugar and 30ml of lemon juice.
