Audio & Mic Issue in Window & on MBPR

goner — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 23:47:20 +0800

hi lads i'm currently using window 7 in my MBPR Late 2013. Reason i using window on a mac instead of using a window laptop is that my dad got me this based on his friend advices and i have to use it for my architecture course

The machine is awesome but the problem i face is the audio/ mic port. I'm well aware of the Port in MBPR in Mac OS X is Audio/Mic port & it work fine.

So the problem is that in window 7 it only work as Audio

I have a Razer Electra which has build-in mic. and it don't work in window. i tried it in Skype.

So to all Sifu out there, Is there any alternative to get the mic work as well? like some sort of adapter?

Thanks.

Wifi Signal Strength

goner — Wed, 20 Nov 2013 14:11:24 +0800

my situation is that i hardly receive wifi nor my wifi signal is very weak at the back part of my house. My Unifi Modem is located in my dad room. The distance of my dad room to my room / back part of the house at least 18meter. Thats 30 pieces of those normal 600mm x 600mm floor tiles

Is there any solution like adding another wireless router that link to my unifi router? Like how those hotel with wifi on each floor and every section did so

P.S: my Unifi & wifi Router is in my dad room and it's impossible to move it since the wiring is going up the roof

Any suggestion so that i can have fair wireless wifi signal in my room or my back part of the house?
