Very well spoken.

Another Dell disappointment was their inability to explain how their software corrupted my audio signal chain. I specifically pointed them to my diagram shown in post #762527. They couldn't even offer any additional detail to the diagram much less tell me if the CPU, buffer, D to A conversion or something else is being stepped on by their software.

I'm learning that although as a company they may be good at assembling the various components into a working computer system, the people available to me at Dell are simply not able to address the critical technical questions of why and how.

I'm squaring this circle with this analogy. If you want to know why the rocket blew up on the launch pad, you can't just ask the guy on the factory floor; you need to engage with the chief engineer and his people.

I have no doubt that the "factory floor people" at Dell did their level best to help me; they simply are not sufficiently trained to be of much use in solving the problem I posed to them or explaining the why's and how's after I solved/improved the problem for them.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
