Hi Benedikt,
really nice video about getting more Ethernet Ports to a Notebook, my thanks.
Also the other videos a quite nice and interesting. But it would be nice to have a Stereo Audio because its annoying to listen to the videos with headphones and have only audio on one ear,
cheerio

Hi Steve,
glad you liked it. It’s a bit of an odd topic, but I’ve had enough course pariticants ask about it to give it a try on the blog as well.

Thanks for the hint, I hadn’t realized there was anything going wrong there—I don’t use headphones for editing.
Cheers,
Benedikt
