Have to look into USB as I am not familiar with it.
Yes. Just like any competent USB powered device would deal with noise on the power rail on its own.

Just hang in there, and I know that University can be tough for I had been there.
i just want that slightly better sound from my USB DACs and no name brands scare me
From my limited research into it, USB on PCs have error correcting but for audio it does not. So any dropped signal is ignored and not resent and can cause audio issues.
Not sure what the jitter reducers are supposed to do exactly, but might take out the non-audio channels of USB that wouldn’t be needed and possibly adding interference that would be noticeable in audio reproductions.
My kindergartner’s school district just announced they are doing online only for the first 9wks. After already delaying school start so they could do in person, and most parents that work “essential” jobs in my community and their kids have already been back to daycares that are opened to normal capacity, too dangerous for the kids to be in school instead…
Online kindergarten? How does that work? They don’t expect a 5 year to operate a laptop do they?
Right now, Adorama. They just undercut their own stupid $429 Elegia sale with a $399 sale - like 2 weeks after I bought mine.

If anyone else hates the current gen youtube layout, there is a solution:

The dev just implemented a new method (the 4th) that works reliably. Hopefully it lasts
If only you could also switch the YouTube year as well so I don’t have to see any form of shitty recommendations in my account all the time xD
the ceiling above my PC location decided to start dripping. not on the PC, thank goodness, but rather on my back. ANNOYED AS ALL GET OUT RIGHT NOW!!! <_<

It’s August. That’s liquid cooling for the user 
Printers. We just spent 45+ minutes trying to get our printer to talk to a computer for a scan (it’s one of those print/copy/scan all-in-ones). It was talking to all the computers in the house 2 days ago! Seriously these things feel like a ripoff anymore. The cheap ones don’t work very well or very long and replacement ink is almost as much as the printer itself. We have like 8-10 docs at most we actually have to print per year for home use anymore. Can’t justify a more $$ printer that does work for that little use! Plus, that’s audio money!

You should try taking everything out and putting it back together again ,if you know how to. It happens a lot of the times when blowing out a pc things just … idk gets loose or whatever. It usually takes me an hour or 2 of fiddling around and generally cussing stuff before it starts again. Most times for me it’s the ram that gets screwed up and takes a ton of switching around and just fiddling and getting angry with it lol. Maybe that’'s what happened in your case also. Maybe.
It’s already fixed but thank you for the suggestions. It turns out that the switches from the case I am using are broken and my dad had to come up with a fix that replaces those buttons with some improvization. Tbh, I should replace this case for it’s too old for today’s standards, but hey at least my PC is working now.

My highend flagship phone has a useless hardware button which I can’t remap.
Hey google, fuck off!
My old ass S7 Edge phone just died, great now I cannot wake it up or even charge it. Also No way in hell I will buy their new phones because no headphone jack = no buy for me.
Fuck off Samsung! I am not buying your shitty non-headphone jack expensive piece of shit phones ever again.
