correct, works. Modified /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf for the default sound card and added a “record” for MMM-Hotkey so it wouldn’t use that as default: working just fine.

Just stuttering, the audio output as well as video. Let’s see why… when audio is played through the 3.5mm jack it works fine.

cool, works, thank you so much. Would you know where youtube audio is configured? Because that still uses the standard.

@Sean

off topic: is there a way to set the audio output (Device / Program) routing like “record” for the mic?

works like a charm, thank you

Hi guys,

I just wanted to share a Monitor I find pretty amazing to use with my magic mirror.

The BenQ GC2870 has 28" and 1920x1080. It is a VA Display and should have an amazing quality. I am only writing this because this display can be stripped down to the bezel it self and the controller board as well as power supply can be easily separated. In case some of you are looking for a nice monitor. I ordered it from amazon for just 160€.

Specs: https://www.benq.de/product/monitor/gc2870h/specifications/
Stripped down picture:

the bezel has a depth of around 12mm and if you plan to use the casing for the power supply and control board it has a depth of 45mm

Tools used:

Automotive Pry (Screwdriver flat should work)
BenQ GC2870H

That is all you need.

To strip down:

Take the monitor and start inserting the pry or screwdriver between the edges, it will pop open like this
do this all around all edges, it is incredibly easy and takes at most 5 minutes
take out the bezel
remove the silver aluminum tape holding the power supply and control board
unplug the LVDS connector
unplug the backlight connector the circle shows VLED for the backlight
The bezel used is a M280HKJ-L50. I found an innolux datasheet for the -L30 and according to this, these are the control lines for the backlight:
unplug the connector for the buttons
now the bezel should be completely separate
beware not to touch where it says “DO NOT TOUCH” as the control lines for the bezel are attached to the screen:
you can now remove the control board and, if you want the power supply beware: residue voltage might be in the capacitors, so dont touch soldering points. It might be wise to leave the power supply in and the paper protection attached

@sean said in MMM-AssistantMk2 problems when using electron-rebuild:

rm -rf grpc

Hi @Sean,

cool that helps. You you just advice for some of the not so advanced npm and node users how to downgrade?

Thank you so much,

Stephan
