@ChrisWilmshurst

Thanks Edgar, I wouldn’t say it’s perfect, but I’m Arms distance away from the monitor at all times which is comfortable. If my room was wider I would most likely go for a slightly wider desk, but for the past few years this has been fine.

This is an awesome use of space! Can i ask what the dimensions of your room are? I have a similar sized room, i think, and ive been trying to think of ideas of how to utilize the space as best as i can

Hey, thanks. I believe the width is 240cm and the whole length is about 400cm off the top of my head, but I will double check tomorrow!

With the noise of your speakers it's the soundcard. If you mean that it's a con that they are quieter with the macbook, then get an audio interface. Maybe the macs output isn't providing enough juice without one. If you mean louder interference noise, then it may be that they aren't magnetically shielded and a gaming PC can cause interface noise, especially when stressing or utilising the GPU when gaming.

@ChrisWilmshurst

3 ай бұрын

It’s related to volume, the speakers are usb so that may explain the lack of volume. Which is ironic as the Mac is touted as being able to support high impedance headphones, but cannot power speakers very well!

‘Valcro’? Unbelievable setup btw

Great video. Assuming you used the T/S 4 to give you a single cable connection to your MAC, which port on the dock did you use to connect to the KVM switch?

Hey! Thanks for tuning in, leaving a comment and being nice. The headphones are not the best when it comes to music, it does focus on bass a bit as it’s more of a gaming headset. You can tweak this in the Logitech software and set up custom profiles, but I rarely listen to music on my pc unless it’s through a video/speakers. The cable itself is just a plain old black cable with a microphone mute switch and a volume control. Very simple and easily stored (mine is tied up under my desk when not in use.

Are you using an external sound card to connect your speakers to your computer? That could be why you're experiencing volume drops when connecting them to your Mac. I've been using a Komplete Audio 6 sound card for the better part of 7 years as I've been using monitor speakers + subwoofer (Yamaha HS8's + Yamaha sub) and have experienced no issues with volume across my MacBook Pro and my gaming PC.
