Or 8 or 10

Wait, do those not come with Movie Maker?

Media centre, not media player. Media player is in 10.

Close enough. Anyone who goes to look how to play a video ends up not using it anyway, since media centre has limited filetype support.

I have a bit of an odd problem. Installing Magicka seems to have done something to screw up my system so that it now recognises my headphones are plugged in and mutes the speakers, but will not play sound through the headphones. I'm using a built-in Realtek sound card.

It seems like quite a few other people have had this problem too, but I can only find two fixes; one which is changing the playback device to Digital Interface, which doesn't seem to be an option, and one which requires uninstalling IDT audio, which isn't present.

The headphones themselves are fine, and work for any other device.

Are you sure it's from Magicka and not just a busted headphone jack? I've had this kind of problem caused by busted headphone jacks before

My first thought was that they'd fallen off my desk in the night and a connection had popped, but they work fine on my Linux partition and my phone. Magicka (the only program I installed between 'working' and 'broken') has to be the cause; it matches with other complaints, and I tried rolling back my sound card drivers in case a recent update broke it.

No, I mean the plug that the headphones plug into. That could be damaged

They would be having problems with not-magicka programs then.

As I understand it, he does have problems with not-magicka programs. He thinks installing Magicka caused them.

Yeah, nothing works through my headphones. The evidence strongly suggests that something about Magicka screwed up a sound driver or something, since the headphones work fine on a different OS on the exact same hardware and other people have had a similar issue caused by drivers (but their fixes haven't worked).

Can anyone recommend a camera app for android where the selfie cam works correctly? All the ones I have seem to record mirror images.

the default android camera app, at least on my phone, literally has a "save mirrored" option.

Not the one on mine though.

And it's mirroring it by default and even in the preview. Though only in self portrait mode.

ALSO, Now that I think of it though, I'm not 100% sure the problem is with the applications and not wih the phone itself. Does anyone know how to tell the difference?
