Being a beginner, I feel there is A LOT I have overlooked and this community has been very helpful thus far, so I come here. My questions are for the seasoned veteran or the enlightened newbie:
-I've pretty much downloaded all my drivers, and Windows still has its obligatory updates, but is there any other diagnostics/drivers/updates I should download for my computer's performance?
-Audio still isn't working. Unsure why. I'm being told an audio output device needs to be installed, but I've tried Googling and nothing helps. Is there specific I need to have my audio to work?
-Are there any tips/suggestions one might offer someone like me who is just beginning their journey?
Thank you for any and all help.
