I upgraded from Debian Bookworm (Stable), which has kernel 6.1, to Debian Trixie (Testing), which has kernel 6.4. Until then, I couldn't overclock my GPU's VRAM beyond 1750 MHz. With kernel 6.4, I can overclock it as far as AMD will allow - 1860 MHz. If my 5600 XT hadn't been locked down by AMD, I'd be able to go further than 1820 MHZ on the GPU and 1860 on the VRAM.

I recently purchased, ripped, and almost finished transcoding the entire series of Friends. I'm currently in the process of converting subtitles with Subtitle Edit. I'd like to save myself a bit of work by taking the last 13-14 characters off the ends of the file names.

For example, I'd like to take track13[spa] off of the following filename: 03x10 - The One Where Rachel Quits_track13_[spa].sup

Or is this not possible with Nautilus?

I've had a Sound Blaster AE-5 Plus for about nine months. During that time, I've been experiencing a persistent crackling issue. I finally did some research, found some different solutions which reportedly worked for folks, tried a few, and one finally worked for me! Apparently, a bunch of things can cause this crackling issue.

In my case, it was the equalizer! I just had to disable that and bam! Problem solved! If only Creative had just left that feature disabled by default. Or in my case, the developer of the open-source drive, since I'm on Linux. The funny thing about it is that, depending on the cause, this crackling issue isn't limited to a single operating system or a single driver; Windows and Linux users alike are experiencing this problem - and Linux users like myself have to use an open-source driver (not that we mind) because Creative isn't interested in supporting Linux.

Creative would do themselves a big favor if they just had the equalizer disabled by default. Then people could notice the crackling only after enabling the equalizer and realizing right away that the equalizer was the cause of the crackling. Creative could probably improve sales and prevent returns.

If you're experiencing this issue and disabling the equalizer doesn't solve the problem, some other solutions I found from my research are disabling G-Sync, switching to a different version of the Nvidia driver, and switching the sound filter to fast roll-off.

You also might need to turn off extra stuff like Crystalizer, Dialog Plus,, and Smart Volume.
