hello abandoned blog

I've been a bit busy as I have a new job. That is the main reason I have not posted in forever. I'm sure my viewership of 2 has dropped to 0, but that's the way it works. I work here. I have to drive too much, and I don't get paid enough.

So, I was trying to watch the independent game awards and the game developers choice awards, with Tim Schafer as host, and the sound wasn't working on my computer. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6167061.html

I figured out that wmp11 has a tendency to not play mono audio. This can possibly be fixed in the player itself by setting the direct sound device in your speaker settings to your sound card. For the web browser plug-in it can be fixed by either instaling certain codecs, like the windows media codecs from a codec pack or possibly by installing ac3filter. However, in my case, I already had ac3filter installed. I had to go into the ac3 filter settings and uncheck pcm and mpeg audio in the system tab.

The game awards are awesome btw. More to come later.
