Troubleshooting Sound Issues

From time-to-time, we hear of customers running into issues getting sound to play through devices attached to their systems. These issues can present themselves when you first unbox your Puget System or can occur later on down the road. Here are some suggestions for resolving your sound issues.

Improvement Through Feedback

For nearly three years now I’ve been calling our customers after they purchase a computer. I don’t work off a script and no two calls are the same.

I might call to check in to make sure your new computer arrived safely. I might call to see if you’re happy with your purchase after you’ve had a few weeks to run the new system through its paces. And I’ll be honest, sometimes I call customers to shoot the breeze. A few weeks ago, I called a man who was on his way up the mountain to plant his skis into fresh powder. I told him I lived in Utah, and we spent the next 10 minutes talking about our favorite ski resorts.

I recently upgraded my home internet connection, and I now officially have the fastest internet of anyone here at Puget Systems – even faster, technically, that our connection at the office. What did I get, you ask? CenturyLink 1 Gigabit Fiber Internet. Here is my account of how installation went, and my experiences with it so far.

Microsofts Windows 10 Push

As many of you have noticed, Microsoft has been pushing really hard to get people to upgrade to it’s latest operating system. This is a blog post I wrote to present my take on why they are trying so hard.

Boot Time Comparison

How quickly a computer boots up doesn’t always correspond to how much processing power the system has, or how fast the system drive is. This blog talks a little about what contributes to both faster and slower boot times, with a video comparison.
