Unfortunately, I received complaints afterward that this sound card was causing problems for some people. In this video, we get to the bottom of the problem and identify the source of the error. ---SUPPORT This video helped you and you want to show your appreciation?

Here's the link https://amzn.to/2Z4ENtS In the woodwork, I can't manage without a biscuit joiner. I use the inexpensive solution from Einhell https://amzn.to/3mrdIKG? A pile of 20 mm biscuit dowels comes in a practical case. You can never have enough of them. https://amzn.to/37rux3D? Not exactly cheap, but worth the price is the GCM 8 SJL miter saw from Bosch. I cut all the wood for smaller boxes on this saw. I'm not giving it away anymore. https://amzn.to/3msHiPU? For precise cuts, you need to adjust the saw angle. Unlike other products, this LevelBox has a real battery built in (AAA instead of CR2032) and doesn't require a new battery as often. A tool I wouldn't want to be without. https://amzn.to/2J143Nc?
