    Surface Pro 4 Audio Input

    I use a Bluetooth, and plugged in microphone all the time - so there is audio input. Have you possibly tried it with a know good headset?

    Indexing or not?

    Do other cards "freeze up" when inserted? Have you tried your card on another machine? Have you by chance ran an error check either using Microsoft or an aftermarket app?

    I've Changed My Mind: The SP4 is Terrible

    Yeah - this is technology. It's wonderful when it works, its interesting when it doesn't. To me technology would be boring if it didn't need work done to it - I'd also be out of a job. One thing folks have to remember - (or not) - When someone hands you a PC in need or repair, they can claim...

Whenever I plug up my Galaxy S7 it will cause my machine to stop / start charging in cycles with the S7. Makes the USB charging port useless. One other thing you may want to try -...
