Sonar App keeps making me choose audio device

Almost every time I boot up my machine (say 60% of the time really), I turn on my headset (Arctis Nova 7 on a Windows 11 Pro ASUS Laptop with a CalDigit 4 for connectivity), turn them on and put them on my head, start somethign with sound and get NOTHING, then I have to go into the Sonar app and have to select my headset before I get any sound.

What's interesting is on my work machine (I use a powered USB Switch for my Keyboard, Mouse, Web Cam and Headset between the 2 machines), I NEVER had any issues and I do not have the app installed there.

So, is the app required? What do I lose if I delete the app? Alternatives?? Because this one is a PITA... :(

Multi-Device chargers that support 10w Watch charging, are there any?

Like the title says, I am looking for a multi-device charger that supports 10w for the watch as well as 15w+ for the phone. I would like to find a 3-in-1 device like the one pictured.

Most of the chargers I find either do not have the watch charger specs listed or are only 2.5w.

Anyone know of anything that would fit the bill?

Thanks!

Kids found these at the Thrift Store and gifted them to us.

I'm going to see if I can find more if this is a series, but these are pretty nice!

Does anyone have any ideas where these are from?

Has anyone used a band with the "Parachute" clasp? Any good?

I need a Metal Band as anything other than these cause me skin irritation.

Has anyone used any kind of band with this type of Parachute Clasp? How does it hold up?

Watch Ultra 2 Bands - Can you use Watch Ultra (2025) bands?

Yeah, I know it JUST released, but wanted to know if anyone has run across this info yet.

I haven't found any information on the compatibility of the bands anywhere. The bands they ship with don't work with me (skin irritation) and only metal bands work for me, but as of now, I have not been able to find any Ultra 2 bands.

Thanks!

Watch 9/Ultra 2 US Price leaks yet?

I have seen some leaked pricing for the new watches in Europe and sadly, it looks like some of the prices will be going up.

I was just curious if anyone had a line on price leaks for the US?

I put off getting the Watch Ultra (2025) once I heard the Ultra 2 is being announced on July 22. The new processor is what really sealed it for me to wait.

I know that with trades and offers, the price can come down significantly but was curious at where it's going to start.

Thanks!

ASUS ZenWifi BT8 - Adding Static IP's for devices...

I don't know if this is normal and if it is WHY??

When I decide I want to configure a static internal IP address for a device, I add it to the list...

WHY does the router have to reboot to apply this setting?

This is absolutely STUPID to have to reboot everything just to add a static IP to the configuration.

Is there a way to do this without everything rebooting?

2025 Watch Ultra or 2026 Watch Ultra?

Right now, I can get a 2025 from Samsung (discounts and trade) for around $355. Is it worth that or wait for the 2026 in a month and spring for that for what I am sure would probably add $200+ to the 2025 cost.

I have read on some of the updates, but are these worth the wait and cost? I am thinking that the CPU upgrade alone may make it worth the wait. Anything else?

Waiting for wife's surgery...

Nothing major, but still surgery. Waiting at the hospital. Thankfully, I was able to play ESO with it tethered to my mobile vs. using the hospital Wifi.
