Seriously, what am I doing wrong? Twice in two weeks I've fallen off a bike while trying to impress my mom and proving I'm not a complete failure just because I'm a 35-yr old competitive reddit poster.

The first such incident was on a 125cc beast, I was ripping down the suburban backstreets at blazing fast speeds (10km/h, finally made it to double digits) and crashed hard. Some of my favourite waifu stickers got damaged but I've got backups.

The second time was a 125cc scooter, which I know is crazy powerful for a first bike, but there were some water droplets on the pavement and everyone knows water is the best lubricant and would cause even Rossi himself to crash and explode on the spot.

What am I doing wrong? Also obviously I'm ATGATT, I may be your typical thrill-seeking crazy biker but I'm not stupid haha

Windows 10, Sound Blaster Z. Had this card for 10 years and recently it started randomly mixing up the 5.1 channels while on desktop (usually happens when I'm pulling up the start menu). I fixed it each time by either setting the channels from 5.1 to 2.0 and back to 5.1, then realized simply selecting the playback speakers in the Sound dialog and closing the menu does the same thing. I wrote a script with a hotkey that does it for me automatically each time the channels mix up but I've had enough. Tried cleaning and reinstalling drivers but it keeps coming back, usually just once per boot.

Does Creative produce any sound cards that don't have this issue? From what I've researched, they all have either this problem or other major software issues. I prefer internals but open to external recommendations because I don't know of any internal cards better than the SBZ.

Cheers.
