Rekall is a company that provides memory implants of vacations, where a client can take a memory trip to a certain planet and be whoever they desire.
Sucks about onboard audio dying; hate when things like this happen on a new build.
Unfortunately I can’t make recommendation on your proposed setup, but as an alternative, have you considered getting soundcard as an alternative? The basic ones are ~$20 where I live.
Seems like an excellent monitor, but I really dislike the “ROG” branding. It’s so obnoxious.
Too bad there is no DisplayPort input. I get it it that this a TV device “redone” for a monitor product, but still.
Are you sure that a soundcard needs weird software to work? With just the drivers you should just have working sound output via the soundcard ports. I could be wrong as I haven’t had a soundcard in a very long time.
Could be annoying, but you may be able to only install the drivers and avoid the bloatware. I do that with Nvidia, I only have the drivers, not Geforce experience or whatever.
