New Sound Card in old MOBO

jamesl — Tue, 29 Jan 2019 02:06:47 +0800

Situation :
Due to Window 10 Anniversary update , it forces my CPU unable to use the Mic Jack and Audio Jack in the front panel .. I think its a conflict between Window 10 Anniversary and Realtek

Solution :
I thought of fixing this issue by purchasing a cheap and budget sound card , where it will be able to use in Rear Panel and Front Panel

Does a new sound card works for both panel ?

Living Expenses in Australia and United Kingdom

jamesl — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 10:07:27 +0800

I plan to further study for Master and I have a few courses in my mind ..

University of Melbourne
-Master of Engineering Management
-AUD 31,904 per annum
-1year full time

Swinburne University of Technology
-Master of Engineering Management
-AUD 24,250 per annum
-18month/s program

Sheffield Hallam University
-Master of Advanced Engineering and Management
-12 to 18 months
-2012/13 academic year (Typically £10,260 for the course)
-2013/14 academic year (Typically £10,980 for the course)

I wanna compare the living expenses between Melbourne and Sheffield ..

For Australia , Im able to stay with my close friends in the outskirt of Melbourne which probably will lesser the cost for accommodation and daily expenses , and to be exact , probably total 4 person including me will stay in a private residential house instead of renting house ..

For UK , Last year I study the same University , Sorta i know the place well , the only downside is entertainment ..

Another reason is that Im planning to aim for Immigration Point to migrate to UK or Aus in future , with Aus higher probability , and therefore , im looking for acknowledge University to gain Points for it ..
