New Lyrics Problem With Hoster and Microstudio

[Roy Dennis]

After doing some research on these dual graphics cards most of them seem to work by an automatic switching system and from what I've read you can't alter it but I did find this statement don't know if your computer has the same switch.

Interestingly, though, Lenovo hasn’t opted for Nvidia’s Optimus technology, choosing instead to utilise a physical switch on the laptop's front edge. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing: where Optimus automatically switches between the Intel and Nvidia chipsets as it sees fit, the Z570 has you swapping chipsets at the flick of a switch, which you could argue gives you more control. Sticking with Intel’s integrated HD Graphics 3000, the Z570 lasted a healthy 5hrs 27mins in our light-use battery test.

I found the above on this site: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/grap...hics-card.html

My preview window was not floating and yes if I double click on the singer's window it will jump back and forth between the laptop display and my computer display. I can also drag it from the laptop to the other monitor and back again. While on the computer monitor the lyrics are clear, but when on the laptop they are garbled.

I can move the window in Microstudio the same way by double click and again the lyrics are clear on the computer monitor, but garbled on the laptop display.

My Lenovo W-520 does have Nvidia's Optimus technology and doesn't have a physical switch. http://www.thinkdigit.com/Laptops-PC...Pads_6261.html

Thanks for your help,

I'd say put in a support ticket from the main MTU site, only thing is it may be a while before getting a responce now due to the Christmas break.
Meanwhile just have to see if I or anyone else has can come up with ideas on how to solve this.
Or exsperiment yourself with settings in your nvidea control panel.

I put in a ticket and I also followed your advice and disabled the NVIDIA adapter and in Microstudio, as well as, Hoster I get clear lyrics. What I don't get is dual monitor capabilities.

When I enabled the NIVIDA and then disabled INTEL adapter my computer display became my main display and the laptop was black. Since I'm not a computer expert, I think I'll wait for the support folks.

Thanks again for all your advice,
Wes

Just thought of a something else. How are you connecting your external monitor, Vga, HDMI, or a video adaptor to rca video or some other way ?
If a video adaptor which sort ?

[Wrahn]

It is connected via VGA to an old computer monitor. The W-520 also has a display port connector which I'm not using.

You are not able to disable the Intel video chip, but you can try to disable the NVIDIA. I have a Lenovo T410 and it works fine with the updated drivers from here http://www.mtu.com/kb/kb/index.php?a...id=112&relid=2 but my Nvidia Chip is an NVS4200m chip.
