Raducanu is out, losing to Jessica Pegula 7-6 6-4. Don't much at all about Pegula, but she has a world ranking of 8, so a certain step up over Williams and Azarenka.

Amazing how many chances France and Sweden had in their matches. Probably near 60 in total. Good defending from the Dutch though, particularly van der Gragt and good keeping from van Domselaar. That said, France should have won the game sooner with the chances they had. Hopefully will be a good...

Changing it would be daft. More ammo for the trolls. Having said that, trolls will always troll. There was a great save from Earps from a looping cross shot. If that had gone in, then it would have been game over in my opinion. There are certainly some poor quality goalkeepers in the women's...

Shocker of a decision from the referee to send the Belgian defender off. Penalty was debatable, but to send her off for that? I've seen some bad decisions and that was right up there. Just desserts though, as Renard's penalty was saved, then putting the rebound wide. :p

No. Someone pointed out not not being able to buy a win and not being to able play anywhere near the same level after winning a grand slam tournament, as happened with Swiatek after she won the French open for first time. This is more than that. Emma is picking up so many niggling injuries which...

Yep. Been watching it. Retired again. :(

This Bluetooth dongle finally arrived. Setting it up was a lot less hassle than setting up a Bluetooth dongle in Windows 7. Plugged it in, went to settings, turned on PS4 controller to pair mode, went to add Bluetooth device, controller popped up and all was done. Loaded Steam and sure enough...

Any of the more recent Xbox and Playstation controllers will work great with games that are designed with game controller input in mind. You can still use a controller with other games that arent really intended for controller use, but they likely won't be optimised as well. I have a PS4...

Looks like Watford FC's revolving door is being put to use. I see Claudio Ranieri is being lined up for the next manager to try it out. Still, will be a decent payday for him when the invevitible sacking comes. I imagine that can be only reason why any manager would take the Watford job; they...

Yeah that's a fantastic achievement as well, to win both mixed and non mixed doubles at the same grand slam. First Brit to do so, I believe.

Why would you need to set it to anything? There is a crossover in the speakers that sorts out which frequencies go to the satellites and what goes to the subwoofer. The only time I can think of where this might be useful, is if you are using separate speakers and subwoofer which has no...

I doubt any can be classed as being 'excellent', because it's a do-it-all device. The vast majority of people either don't know, or don't care, as long as it's good enough. I'd be surprised if any of the phone manufacturers make a phone with great sound for the few that do care. I would guess...

There are some very good powered speakers; and if looking at more expensive studio monitors, some excellent ones. Kidloco makes a good point though with faults developing with powered speakers. Because the amp is housed inside one of the speakers, it makes it more of a hassle should there be a...

I'd send it back. It's not that old a card, but it's no surprise to see poor support from Asus for their sound cards again. I'd get a Creative card. Creative are in a better position than Asus when it comes to sound card support.

It's hard to say whether there is any interface that will be better, because sound cards and interfaces are aimed at different consumers and rarely get compared. There certainly could be, but I'd imagine you'd be looking at something costing a fair bit more. I'd only look into those though if...

Good shout on IEMs. I completely forgot such things existed. :o

When you mention 'hi res player', are you thinking that would help to improve how loud they can go? I don't know what she is using them with that is not providing enough volume, so a player with a decent headphone output may help. A headphone amp would certainly help to boost the volume, but I...

My guess is that it's because of differing signal volume. If you put a signal from machine A down a cable that has a volume of 10 and machine B is sending a signal with the volume of 5 down the same cable, you can't expect the outcome to be of an even volume. That's probably a bit simplified...

No reason not to just use the splitter cable. Alternative would be a switcher, but the splitter would be easier as you won't have to change inputs over. Splitters are often frowned upon by people more concerned with audio quality, when they are used to connect speakers and headphones to a...

Unless the 1060 can put out close to and around 100 FPS at settings and resolution you want, then there wouldn't be much point in getting a 144Hz monitor, unless you are going to buy a new monitor anyway. Refresh rate and FPS go hand in hand, so there would be no difference in going from a 60Hz...
