    What to do about (sort of) broken Audio Input on Desktop?

    My audio input has become partially functional over the past few days. It's not too bad, but a lot of the time, I'll hear audio out of one ear and not the other, or I'll hear really low quality audio. I looked at the input, and it appears to be decently loose. I also noticed what resemble...

    Headphone recommendations under $120

    My current headphones are on their last limb, and I was wondering what headphones would be ideal for me, assuming the price is below $120.

    How do I turn up the bass on my headphones?

    I recently bought a studio microphone as well as headphones after my headset died. However, I have noticed an annoying lack in bass. Does anyone know any settings that I can use to increase the bass?

    Do I need all three? Or is just one fine?

    Can an Antivirus not detect malware that is incredibly dangerous?

    I'm curious if my antivirus could ever miss a dangerous virus/malware that could potentially compromise my computer's safety and passwords? And if so, is there any way to prevent this as well as how likely this is to occur? Thanks in advance.

    Finding a worrying about of malware each week.

    Recently, I got Malwarebytes (free reputable antivirus program.) Each week, I usually scan and find roughly 3-9 individual malware(s) (mainly not false positive PUPs). Is this normal? It should be noted that I scan daily, and find 3-9 TOTAL malware(s) each week.

    If you had a virus, could you simply replace the hard drive to get rid of it?

    If your computer was infected with a virus or some form of malware that was hard or impossible to remove, couldn't you just replace the infected hard-drive(s) and reinstall everything? I'm not in this situation, but I'm simply curious if it would be an appropriate course of action.

    Recently, when I launch Google Chrome, it will first go to usa-aa.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/?grp=5, and then will nearly immediately go to Google Chrome. Why is it doing this and is it bad?
