    MP 1,1-5,1 mDP - R9 280X - problems on all R9 cards?

    I recently had an issue with my XFX R9 280X with MAC EFI and two brand new BenQ PD2700U monitors. The monitors connect via Thunderbolt cables (and you can plug a Thunderbolt cable in to Mini DisplayPort to get video output only). Upon powering on the system and trying only one BenQ monitor, it...

    Big Sur 11.1 Changed Behavior on my 2019 16" MacBook Pro?

    Howdy Folks, After a reboot headache, my 2019 16" MacBook Pro updated to Big Sur 11.1 this morning. One of the first things I have noticed is that Apple seems to have changed the behavior of the Mac. Prior to this update, I heard the same chime that my iPhone/iPad makes when plugging into...

    Boot Chime stuck on loud!

    So I attempted to install Big Sur Beta on my external USB stick. Long story short it was taking too long (perhaps even froze) so I abandoned the install and booted back into Catalina on the internal drive. Now however, I get a really loud startup chime. I understand Big Sur has this feature...

    Mac Book Pro - Sound Check

    Hi there. I recently upgraded my 2012, 13-inch MBP. I installed a 1TB Samsung SSD and 16GB of ram. My machine is much faster and works just fine. My only concern is probably a minor one.

    Tri-Tone chime upon completion of installation

    Hello Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Every time I complete an installation of something I download off the internet, the tri-tone text message chimes. Is there any way to change this to something else? Any help would be appreciated

    MacBook Pro late 2013 won’t boot

    I’ve seen a lot of posts about boot loops and blank screens, but I’ve yet to see any posts with the problem I seem to be having. My MacBook Pro (late 2013, i5, 256GB) started acting weirdly about a week ago (since the Mojave update I think). It started with a flickering screen which would...

    I am running El Capitan 10.11.5 on a Mac Mini late 2009. When I need to be quiet, I use the keyboard button to mute the sound before restarting. Unfortunately, the machine chimes anyway, quite loudly. Can anyone tell me what might be going wrong and how to fix it? I'd prefer to avoid messing...
