Audio issue on my laptop

Hi there. My Yoga 920 laptop (Windows 10) has an odd audio problem. Audio works fine for a few hours, but then any videos, etc. go totally silent. No error message or anything...just silence. There's no way to get the sound back other than a reboot. I've reinstalled the audio driver, updated Windows, (then un-updated it to see if that helped), but nothing doing. Any thoughts on what the problem might be and how to resolve it? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.15.193.40 (talk) 23:12, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Have you checked Event Viewer logs? Elizium23 (talk) 23:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I looked at the Event Viewer. Nothing obvious there, but I'm not too familiar with what I should be looking for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.15.193.40 (talk) 13:22, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After you've lost sound, what happens when you verify the device in Device Manager? Does it claim to be functioning correctly? Have you tried both earphones and speakers? Is there any evidence in the audio mixer subsystem that you've lost the sound device? Can you ensure that applications are indeed making sound without you being able to hear it? Have you tried something like USB headphones or a USB sound card that might offer another device for the sound? Elizium23 (talk) 13:36, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So for $6.00 you can add another audio device and thus see if you have broken audio hardware. --Guy Macon (talk) 14:36, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been waiting for the sound to crap out, but wouldn't you know it...it's holding steady for the past few days. Maybe the issue somehow resolved itself, but if it dies again, I'll run the headphone test and we'll see what happens.

Contact Wikimedia Maps re typo

There's a typo on Wikimedia Maps. How do I contact them to correct it? (Specifically, it's here - zoom in on the Coventry Cross Estate, and you'll see it's shown as "Covenrry Cross Estate".) --A bit iffy (talk) 11:11, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The mapping data comes from OpenStreetMap. I checked its live site, and the spelling is correct there. I assume that someone has fixed it there (I'm struggling to find a useful way to browse OSM change history). The m:Wikimedia Maps data you see on Wikipedia is generated from a local replica of OSM's database (because it wouldn't be fair for us to point our massive userload at their servers). If I'm reading the charts here correctly, the main maps server in Texas (Codfw cluster) is a few days behind OSM's live server (don't worry about the equiad one, I think it's not used, and it's doing negligible IO). So when it catches up with that fix, in a day or two maybe, the change should be manifest (at least in uncached maps) in Wikimedia Maps. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 12:35, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --A bit iffy (talk) 22:15, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you find another such issue, and it isn't fixed on the live OSM site, you can sign up there and fix it - see their Beginners' guide. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 12:38, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pipe output to two commands

In Unix I'd like to cat a file and output both the the word count (wc -w) and contents... can it be done with one command? I thought tee would work but I don't actually want to write it to a file, just show the count and contents in standard output. Thx. 98.110.131.11 (talk) 13:34, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I note the reference to UNIX, so you need to check this against your particular implementation of tee. The GNU utilities which are sometimes found on UNIX and always on Linux may differ slightly, so this may or may not answer your question. GNU coreutils v5.3.0 - c8.23 permitted a FILE parameter of "-" which directed the text to standard output. For these versions cat X | tee - | wc -w should work, but I've not tested it. More modern implementations of BASH (importantly, invoked as /bin/bash and not /bin/sh) allows redirection to a process using the >() syntax. For instance cat X | tee >(wc -w) which on my machine typed out the file X and then added "31" at the end. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 14:31, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The second idea worked great in zsh which is what I was using (on Mac). In bash it worked but printed an extra line waiting for user input... pressing enter would allow it to terminate. Thank you for the help. 98.110.131.11 (talk) 15:39, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GNU (coreutils) tee doesn't support the - option (because it's already sending to stdout, and this would entail it having two different stdouts). A hack is to do tee /dev/tty | wc -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 15:57, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Finlay McWalter: – Hi Finlay, the documentation says:

In previous versions of GNU coreutils (v5.3.0 - v8.23), a FILE of ‘-’ caused ‘tee’ to send another copy of input to standard output. However, as the interleaved output was not very useful, ‘tee’ now conforms to POSIX which explicitly mandates it to treat ‘-’ as a file with such name.
— info '(coreutils) tee invocation'

There's no inherent reason why two streams can't both write to stdout, consider constructs such as 2>&1 for example. The problem is that the streams mix unpredictably Chapter 3 of the Bash Reference Manual gives the detail. Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 16:27, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What you can't do is have one program write to two different places and have both of them be stdout at the same time. The suggestion of teeing to /dev/tty works, though. By the way, you don't need to use cat in the example at all, if the input is a single file; just redirect tee's stdin. Thus: tee /dev/tty <X | wc -w

Clearly wc can't produce its output until tee finishes running, but that's not a guarantee that the output will reach your screen only after tee's output to /dev/tty finishes reaching your screen. --76.71.5.208 (talk) 22:26, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your second point is valid, that's why GNU coreutils was changed, see the quote above. Your first point though is inaccurate. Consider the following commands:

 $ grep SLAVE *
 grep: bin: Is a directory
 ifcfg.txt:    SLAVE=yes
 $ grep SLAVE * 2>/dev/null
 ifcfg.txt:    SLAVE=yes
 $ grep SLAVE * 1>/dev/null
 grep: bin: Is a directory
 $ grep SLAVE * 1>/dev/null 2>&1
 $ grep SLAVE * 2>&1
 grep: bin: Is a directory
 ifcfg.txt:    SLAVE=yes
 $

We start with grep producing two l ines, one to stdout and one to stderr. Next the stderr is send to the bitbucket. The third example show stdout going to the bit bucket and we see the stderr. The fourth example shows stdout being sent to /dev/null and stderr being sent to the same place. Note that as far as grep is concerned these are separate units, BASH is uniting them. The final example shows stderr being sent to the same unit as stdout, but in this case it is /dev/tty. Grep is indeed writing to two separate places, and yet the data streams can be sent to the same place (wherever stdout points). I might point out that the cited text is taken from the official documentation. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 22:44, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say a second output can't go to the same place stdout points, I said it couldn't also be stdout. --76.71.5.208 (talk) 06:45, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

wc -w foo; cat foo; does the trick. Is there a particular reason it has to be one command? If it's for convenience in interactive shells, put a shell function in your shell startup file(s) (a.k.a. rc files or "dotfiles"). For zsh, looks like this is simple: most likely ~/.zshrc. bash is unfortunately more complicated, especially when a GUI environment is introduced. You'll want to read this, but it focuses on Linux with X; I don't know how OS X configures its environment. Anyway, you want something like cprint(){ wc -w "$@"; cat "$@"; }. That will handle any number of filenames. If you want file 1's word count, followed by contents, followed by file 2's word count…you can refactor it to loop through the arguments instead. --47.146.63.87 (talk) 19:36, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Windows 10 PC runs slow. Could it be due to recent ver. 10.0.18362 Build 18362?

Normally I wouldn't be asking for help with a slow computer, but I'm wondering if the problem could be due to the most recent Win 10 update, which was installed on June 17 (version 10.0.18362 Build 18362). This is about how long I have been experiencing the problem. I called the cable provider and we ruled out the modem and router. Also another computer on the network works fine (167 mb/s download) as does my phone (about the same). On this computer I get from 6 to 26 mb/s. Can anybody help? --Halcatalyst (talk) 20:35, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Halcatalyst, so the problem is not actually a slow computer, but slow network bandwidth? Could you clarify if you mean megabits per second or megabytes per second? What server are you downloading from and how far is it across the Internet? Have you done a traceroute? Pings? What other network diagnostics have you tried? Is it one large file or several smaller ones? Elizium23 (talk) 20:49, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Megabits per second. I think it's the computer rather than the network speed, since both the phone and the other computer are in the expected speed range (nominally 200 megs and they get in the 160s). My Internet connection is Mediacom cable. Don't know what a traceroute is or how I would do network diagnostics. The problem seems to affect all my downloads, but especially image-heavy sites like my personal web page, which has a lot of pictures on it. --Halcatalyst (talk) 21:48, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Halcatalyst, try visiting speedtest.net and see if it can determine a baseline speed; compare it to the other devices. Elizium23 (talk) 21:57, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I went back and cleared my browsing history and a couple of other things, and now I'm getting different results with speedtest on my laptop, from about 100 to 150-160. Same on the phone and the other computer. I don't understand the variety, but at least they're in an acceptable range now. Thank you for our help! --Halcatalyst (talk) 01:47, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uninstalling and Re-installing Outlook

The way Outlook is set up currently makes it a little hard for me to see my mail cleanly, because of a tweak that was made when I changed my password. My question is whether I can uninstall Outlook and re-install it. Since Outlook isn't listed in the Control Panel as an app, maybe I have to uninstall and re-install Office. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:03, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reinstalling Windows: a personal view

If you use Windows for any length of time, it can occur that your experience gets worse and worse over time. Update upon update, apps added and deleted (leaving bits behind), ill-considered configuration changes, programs you thought you would use but never did, possible malware infections, and user stupidity all combine to make Windows slowly rot away until one day it just stops working. I recommend a periodic (I do it once a year) clean install. That being said, how you do the clean install makes a big difference.

First, consider whether you want to upgrade your hardware.

Is your disk too small or too slow? Can you afford to replace the spinning platters with a solid state drive? This is one of the two things that help an older computer the most.
Is your RAM maxed out? It may be that bringing it up to the maximum is dirt cheap. This is one of the two things that help an older computer the most.
Do you have a good backup solution and do you use it regularly? You will thank me the first time you lose everything to malware, a hardware failure, or your own stupidity. Got an unused x4 or larger PCIe slot? Get one of these USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps) 1-Port Type-C cards and get a USB 3.2 Type C backup device (thumb drive or external disk).

Next, prepare prepare, prepare.

On a thumb drive, save install programs for all of your apps, latest versions downloaded from the vendor websites. Run VirusTotal on all of the installers.
Also go to your motherboard or PC manufacturer's website and save all the drivers they have for your computer on your thumb drive. Important: make sure you have the latest BIOS.
Now save all of your data on two thumb drives. Make a list of all of the programs on your desktop, start menu, and taskbar, and save that list with your data.
Get a Windows 10 (if you are still on 7, 8 or 95, stop using them now) install DVD or thumb drive. The URLs are in the section above.

Time to pull the trigger

The safe way is to buy a new hard disk, remove the old, set it aside, and install to the new. Think this is too expensive? 500GB hard drive, $18.99 & free shipping, 120GB SSD, $25.99.
Format the drive, do a fresh install of Windows, install all Windows updates ("check for updates" in the search box), install your apps, bring back your data. Make whatever configuration changes you normally make to Windows. Write down notes as you do this to make it easier to do next year.

Categorizing in Outlook

Until about a month ago, I was able to Categorize email in Outlook into six categories with colored labels. They started out as Red Category, Orange Category, Yellow Category, Green Category, Blue Category, and Purple Category, but I could rename them, to things like Personal Business, and Stuff to Read, and ZYX Business, and Other Crud. With a new profile, this feature no longer works. Are there any quick suggestions about what to do, or does this get back to the fact that my profile may be confused and may need rejiggering? Robert McClenon (talk) 20:35, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Robert McClenon, are you still having problems with multiple programs running under Windows? If the advice you have received here so far has solved all of the problems, then clearly you are on the right track and just need to fix this one outlook problem. If, however, you are still having problems with multiple programs, it is my professional opinion as someone who has spent years in PC support (it's what I do when engineering jobs temporarily dry up, as they so often do) that you are on the wrong path and that more of the same will not benefit you. Unless the other problems are all completely gone, I really think you should be responding at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Computing#Reinstalling Windows: a personal view, starting with details about what brand and model of computer you are using. Is it newer/faster than this on currently selling for $125? [1] How much is you time worth to you on an hourly basis? If my educated guess is correct, you could easily spend another 40 hours doing what you are doing and still not fix all of the problems. --Guy Macon (talk) 23:55, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(...Sound of Crickets...) --Guy Macon (talk) 12:29, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Guy Macon - Those are not crickets. They are 17-year cicadas. However, the problem is that either I misread your post in thinking that you were advising me to open up the computer cabinet, something that I have not done since the processor was an 80286 and that I do not currently consider myself qualified to do, or I read your post correctly and you were advising me to open up the computer cabinet. I apologize if I wasted your time because I do not always respond quickly to posts here. Actually, I realize that what I am doing may annoy you, which is that I am asking low-priority questions, and am not always following up on them, because they are low-priority questions. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:07, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Opening up your computer is not required. Here are your options, most of which don't involve a screwdriver.

Do nothing. Accept that you will have problems and that they will most likely become worse over time. Risk: one day you wake up and find everything you have ever worked is gone, including your ability to log on to Wikipedia, pay your bills online, or access your email. Expense: Zero. Time: Zero. Until you lose everything, at which point Expense and Time become substantial.
Do nothing to fix the problems, but with the addition of a proper backup system. I can help you to set up one or I can evaluate the one you have. No cabinet opening required, but you will most likely has to plug a backup drive into a USB port and, if as I suspect, your USB ports are 2.0 spend an entire weekend making the backup. Risk: Moderate: you aren't 100% sure your backup scheme works. Expense: you will have to buy an external USB drive if you haven't done so already. Time: Moderate.
Take your computer to a place that repairs PCs and have them do whatever cabinet opening you are unwilling to do. You can then do the software stuff yourself or ask them to do it. Risk: minimal. Expense: get an estimate. I don't know what they will charge. Time: Minimal.
Buy a new PC and transfer everything over to it. Risk: Minimal. Expense: Maybe a hundred dollars or so. Maybe three thousand dollars, depending on whether you want to do advanced gaming or CAD. I can help you select a cost-effective PC if you decide to reveal what you have now and whether it is fast enough for you. Time: Moderate.
Change your position on refusing to ever crack the computer case. It really is quite easy to do. Risk: low. Expense: Low. Time: Moderate.
Find an 8-to-12-year-old child and pay him to do the case opening for you. Risk: How dimwitted are the kids you know?. Expense: Low. Kids work cheap. Time: Moderate.

What I was hoping for was an open discussion about what your current hardware is and what your current tasks are. If I knew the model, whether you want to watch YouTube videos, play games, Edit Word documents, use a database or spreadsheet, etc., I could give you much better and more specific advice. But of course you don't have to reveal any of that if you wish to continue being coy. All I would ask in that case is that you not attempt to bypass the auto archiving and keep your problems on this page while making it impossible for anyone to solve your problems. --Guy Macon (talk) 01:06, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

google.co.jp

on Firefox, Opera, and Chrome, how can I set all Google Domains to .co.jp ? --Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 02:29, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One way might be to use a VPN with an exit node in Japan, giving you an IP that geolocates there. Elizium23 (talk) 02:33, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What's the reason you want to do this? If you want pages in Japanese, you can have your browser request Japanese-language pages in the Accept-Language HTTP header, but whether the site complies is up to the site. I'm sure there are browser add-ons to let you do this per-domain. There might be something you can set in cookies or your Google account if logged-in to tell Google to serve Japanese by default. If you use a browser add-on to just stick .co.jp on the end of any Google domain, that might break some Google stuff, because I think a lot of their stuff like the account management pages always shunts you either to google.com or .google, but I'm not certain. Ultimately this is all up to how Google has things set up to work on their end. --47.146.63.87 (talk) 19:46, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MS Powerpoint 2019

I have MS Powerpoint 2019, and " File | Options | Language " is 'English (United Kingdom) <preferred> Proofing installed'. And yet it always does spellchecking using English (United States). What do I have to do to get it to use British English? -- SGBailey (talk) 20:33, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SGBailey: On the MS website, it says this: "(1)Click or tap where you're going to add text, or select the text that you want to mark as a different language. (2) On the Review tab select Language > Set Proofing Language. (3) Select the language you want to use. (4) Select OK." Hope this helps. RudolfRed (talk) 00:10, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm afraid it doesn't help. I don't want to select a different language for a small amount of text. I want to make the langauge it uses British English. If I want to do an American quote, THEN I would do what you suggest to select American English. How do I set Powerpoint to British English? -- SGBailey (talk) 06:44, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SGBailey, the proofing language is set on selections. If you want to set a whole document to BrEn, then press Ctrl-A to select all, then set the proofing language. Elizium23 (talk) 06:48, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(An aside: EVERY microsoft support page I have found says effectively "make the setting that I am using and it will be the langauge that I want" - except it isn't and this applies to many other people too. And lots of "you can change the language for small bits of text". Maybe this is another "Microsoft has it wrong" and won't admit it scenario? -- SGBailey (talk) 06:54, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to set the DOCUMENT to BrEn - well I do, but - I want to set POWERPOINT to default to BrEn. And if I want any other language - AmEn, Ger, Fr - THEN I would want to select it. If I have to, I could do it on a "per document basis, but that is a distinctly poor user interface. @E23 I'll try what you say and see. However the ONLY Proofing language I have installed is BrEn. I do not have AmEn. And yet it only does AmEn. Frustrating. -- SGBailey (talk) 07:00, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@E23 No, that doesn't work. I click on a sheet thumbnail in the left column. I press Ctrl-A and they all get highlit. I select " Review | Language (in Language group) | " Then the set proofing language option is greyed out. It is available on a slide by slide basis, but to have to set the language of each slide individually is terrible. -- SGBailey (talk) 07:09, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SGBailey, try setting View | Outline mode first and then doing the same procedure. Elizium23 (talk) 07:31, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@E23, Now that (appears) to have worked. It let me select the whole document and it let me set the langauge and it allowed BrEn as an option AND when I clicked default it said it would make BrEn the language for all future presentations too. So IFF this has done what it says it has - I am dubious based on prior experiences - then you will have answered my question. So - many, many thanks. -- SGBailey (talk) 07:38, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On a related but different point. How can you make it REDO a spellcheck from scratch - ignoring all the "Ignores" you have typed etc? And how can you find where you have set a different proofing language? -- SGBailey (talk)

Excel Find and Replace

Hi, does anyone know how to anchor the find and replace box in place in Microsoft Excel? It jumps around constantly when editing cells near it or scrolling past it. Libre Office allows it to be anchored to the toolbar, but Excel doesn't have that function as far as i can see, and using Libre Office isn't possible in this situation. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ^(email) 08:21, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you want to anchor it? Are you trying to click it with the mouse? Have you considered using keystrokes to control it instead? Elizium23 (talk) 09:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I need it on screen because i use it every few minutes and opening and closing it regularly would be tedious. The cells i'm searching for sometimes end up under the box and so it spazzes out and moves somewhere else. This is annoying as it happens so regularly. With Libre Office at least the find box can be positioned in the toolbar so this doesn't happen. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ^(email) 10:00, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can boot to Linux from a thumb drive on any Windows machine without it making any changes to tour hard disks. Remove the Thumb drive and reboot and you are back to Windows. See Tiny Core Linux. --Guy Macon (talk) 22:29, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recording microphone and system mix simultaneously

Hi. Audacity is unable to record both the microphone input and the system mix. Windows 10 audio recorder is able to do it but fiddling with the levels of it can be really touch and go. Strangely enough, I am able to use streaming OBS studio as a workaround. I record video and then convert it to a sound file and viola! I have both mic and the computer's sound. My ultimate goal is to record my voice speaking and the audio of a telephone call from Google Voice.

The work around solution is time consuming and annoying. Can anyone please suggest a program that'll simply do it for me? Preferably freeware but I wouldn't be against paying for a program if it was guaranteed to work the way I want it to. Many thanks. Roseychicken (talk) 17:20, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
