    Problem with DeaDBeef & Audacious using Alsa

    Hi I am relatively new to Linux so I would appreciate any help/advice with regards to getting the best audio from my rather old system. I want to be able to play PCM as flac and DSD (although that is probably a separate issue). My flac files are both red book 16/44.1 and higher res up to 24/192...

    (Solved) Recommend GPU for older setup that will work in Linux Mint 19.3

    Thanks again for your time. the HD 4670 is an old card and has its limitations compared to current specs but works fine for my requirements. I dont think it will run Eyefinity but I have not had the need to try it. It only has an HDMI port on the back (alongside DVI & VGA). The dual monitor...

    (Solved) Recommend GPU for older setup that will work in Linux Mint 19.3

    I think my GPU is too old for the latest versions of Linux. ATi stopped support a few years ago. I was interested to see if running LM live would be different to installed LM in regards to how the HDMI output to the TV would behave, It doesn’t cause the system to freeze but I cant adjust two...

    Hi I have been using the VGA output to feed my TV (secondary monitor) however I was curious to see what happens when running LM live from a usb and using HDMI to feed the TV. I can only get it to display the same as the monitor (primary display). The system runs and doesn’t freeze but the...

    Hi I’m a relative noob to LM. I have 19.3 installed as a dual boot with win 7. Lm has been working fine but today when I try to log in with my password, the log in box returns and I repeat the password and the same thing happens. Is there a solution. Thanks

    LM 19.3 HDMI causes freeze on dual monitor ati HD 4670

    Thanks for the reply Daviboy. I think the drivers are too old for LM19.3. It states that these drivers are from 2013 Automated installer and Display Drivers for Xorg 6.9 to Xserver 1.12 and Kernel version up to 3.4. Is there a way to install these. Thanks

    (Solved) Recommend GPU for older setup that will work in Linux Mint 19.3

    Thank you so much this is really useful. I was considering the 1050ti which may a bit over the top for my current system but would still be a good starting point for a future updated build. It’s a shame the prices have hiked recently and more favoured brands like EVGA don‘t seem to be easily...

    Thanks for the reply. I don’t think I need a powerful GPU. I need advice on what is likely to work, given the frustrations of almost getting the HD 4670 to work as I want. As for budget, I was hoping to keep it under £150. I am confused with all the advice regarding Radeon/Nvidia which tends to...
