yeah, i'm not convinced that i've thrown them off, yet.

the audio was very thin sounding. this is actually the return of an older problem, which i thought i had gotten rid of, and that is some kind of loopback on the audio. as a recording artist, this is particularly egregious to me. it's almost torture, really.

so, i reinstalled the audio drivers, and while it did help, it also required a reboot, which came up as a blue screen. i can actually probably fix that without reimaging, but we'll have to see whether i think it's actually worth it or not.

i don't have the interest in it, right now.

the files were sent to me in pdf, so i can read them on the chromebook. and, i'll get back to that later tonight.
