| GykGyrl | hi | 04:14 |
|---|---|---|
| GykGyrl | anyone here? | 04:14 |
| falktx | GykGyrl: me | 04:15 |
| GykGyrl | 8op | 04:20 |
| GykGyrl | i so need help with sound | 04:20 |
| GykGyrl | im suing the latest of ubuntu studio, and i lost sound all together | 04:21 |
| GykGyrl | if i boot into a live version i have sound again... | 04:21 |
| GykGyrl | and i am really new to linux | 04:21 |
| holstein | GykGyrl: i would look for an older kernel in your grub menu | 04:22 |
| holstein | GykGyrl: what im proposing is, you took a kernel upgrade that doesnt support your audio hardware | 04:25 |
| holstein | it could also be that you have the sound turned down or muted in XFCE and mabye are not totally familiar with that UI | 04:25 |
| GykGyrl | its not muted i found the sound settings... and i played with all the slyders.... | 04:26 |
| GykGyrl | how do i check the grub menue | 04:26 |
| holstein | GykGyrl: i had a situation where the buttons would mute, but not unmute | 04:28 |
| holstein | the keyboard buttons | 04:29 |
| holstein | that is with pulseaudio and XFCE | 04:29 |
| holstein | which is what you have | 04:29 |
| holstein | so, if you dont mind, double check the settings there in the UI | 04:29 |
| holstein | then, open a terminal and run alsamixer | 04:29 |
| holstein | hit F5 and look there and see that all is how you would expect | 04:30 |
| holstein | you can also install pavucontrol, and try that | 04:30 |
| holstein | i dont think you should edit grub | 04:30 |
| holstein | i think you should just look and see if there is an older kernel, and boot it, temporarily... but try these other options firts^ | 04:30 |
| holstein | first* | 04:30 |
| GykGyrl | ok im confused a little... but tryin it now | 04:34 |
| holstein | GykGyrl: just decide what you want to try, and ill help you | 04:36 |
| GykGyrl | ok i did alsamixer and its all up all the way | 04:40 |
| holstein | GykGyrl: well, you dont necessarily want everything up all the way, unless you do | 04:40 |
| holstein | just be aware, thats how you can break something | 04:41 |
| GykGyrl | ? | 04:41 |
| holstein | GykGyrl: i didnt say go in there and turn everything all the way up | 04:41 |
| GykGyrl | um... i feel like a tool | 04:41 |
| holstein | thats all im saying... so you realize that cant hurt, or break something | 04:41 |
| holstein | like your ears ;) | 04:41 |
| GykGyrl | oh... lol | 04:41 |
| GykGyrl | i lke it loud | 04:42 |
| GykGyrl | 8o) | 04:42 |
| holstein | anyways... did sound ever work? | 04:42 |
| GykGyrl | oh yeah | 04:43 |
| GykGyrl | loved it | 04:43 |
| holstein | so, what broke it? | 04:43 |
| holstein | an upgrade? | 04:43 |
| GykGyrl | i did update a few days ago, then when i rebooted | 04:43 |
| GykGyrl | poof | 04:43 |
| GykGyrl | nothin | 04:43 |
| g33kgrl | ok i changed to the right computr | 04:45 |
| g33kgrl | i was going back n forth it was annpying | 04:46 |
| g33kgrl | how do i check the drub setting | 04:47 |
| g33kgrl | grub | 04:48 |
| holstein | g33kgrl: you can just reboot, and hit shift to see the list | 04:48 |
| holstein | you can look at | 04:48 |
| holstein | !grub | 04:48 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 04:48 |
| holstein | ^^ see if you want to unhide your grub list | 04:48 |
| holstein | i suggest this as a troubleshooting step, not really something you need to change permanently, or worry about | 04:48 |
| g33kgrl | ok so i have to reboot | 04:49 |
| g33kgrl | brb | 04:49 |
| gykgyrl | ok im in a previous kernel... no sound still | 05:07 |
| holstein | gykgyrl: ok, so i know you dont want to hear this, but its likely something in the UI you have hit | 05:10 |
| holstein | you can also try installing pavucontrol | 05:10 |
| gykgyrl | ok trying it now | 05:11 |
| gykgyrl | ok it was installed, so i reinstalled it | 05:37 |
| gykgyrl | pavucontrol | 05:39 |
| arges | Anybody know if enabling home folder encryption will cause issues (latency, etc) when recording to harddrive? | 14:44 |
| falktx | arges: not latency, but higher cpu usage | 15:02 |
| arges | falktx, even with hardware aes? | 15:02 |
| falktx | aes? | 15:02 |
| arges | the encryption algorithm has a hardware accelerator | 15:03 |
| falktx | arges: I tested ~2 years ago, there's a bit more cpu usage when writing/reading stuff from disk. not sure how it handles it with aes though | 15:03 |
| arges | falktx, i usually have cycles to spare (mostly tracking and not running effects) | 15:04 |
| arges | might as well give it a shot, worst case I can always record to a non-encrypted directory | 15:04 |
| arges | thanks | 15:05 |
| holstein | arges: you should always record to a different hard drive anyways | 15:45 |
| arges | holstein, why is that? | 15:45 |
| holstein | performance | 15:45 |
| holstein | ideally, you could track to a raid array or something :) | 15:46 |
| holstein | anyways, theres no reason to record inside the encrypted area | 15:46 |
| holstein | if you were to go into a pro studio, they would be tracking to a different drive that the OS is on | 15:47 |
| arges | holstein, it just seems odd. so who is using the harddisk that much when recording other than the recording program? | 15:47 |
| arges | if we have sufficient memory in a system, we shouldn't be using the swap | 15:48 |
| holstein | arges: do what you like | 15:48 |
| holstein | i dont track to the same drive my OS is on | 15:48 |
| holstein | havent since i started | 15:48 |
| arges | holstein, i'm trying to understand why people do that : ) i've heard it too | 15:48 |
| holstein | arges: performance | 15:49 |
| holstein | if im tracking 24 tracks and 24/96, i might need something faster | 15:50 |
| holstein | plus, i might want some swappable drives so i can archive or whatever right from the disks kind of like they are analog tape | 15:50 |
| arges | holstein, yea that's another good reason | 15:50 |
| holstein | when im just tracking stereo data in the field, i'll just do that on the local disk, or even just some USB drive | 15:51 |
| * holstein gotta run | 15:51 | |
| holstein | feel free to ask around in #opensourcemusicians | 15:51 |
| arges | cya | 15:52 |
| arges | thanks | 15:52 |
| g33kgyrl | hi i was looking to get some help with a sound issue with ubuntu studio... can anyone help? | 23:17 |
| holstein | g33kgyrl: you can ask here, or depending on how studio related it is, you can ask in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners | 23:20 |
| holstein | also #opensourcemusicians | 23:21 |
| holstein | im about to run out, but i'll take a look :) | 23:21 |
| g33kgyrl | wow thats why i like this version of linux | 23:22 |
| g33kgyrl | i want to do music with it | 23:22 |
| g33kgyrl | welll i had sound untill yesterday, wehn i rebooted... it was fine for about 2 weeks | 23:22 |
| g33kgyrl | i checked the alsamixer everything is up | 23:23 |
| holstein | g33kgyrl: i would suggest maybe installing whatever DE you are comfortable with using | 23:23 |
| g33kgyrl | the grub i went back to my previous version, and it didnt work | 23:23 |
| g33kgyrl | and im stuck there | 23:23 |
| holstein | it sounds to me like there is something in the UI that you are not familiar with | 23:23 |
| g33kgyrl | whats a de? | 23:23 |
| g33kgyrl | im smart, but new to linux | 23:23 |
| holstein | DE = desktop environment | 23:23 |
| holstein | XFCE is probably not the one you are used to | 23:24 |
| holstein | you could have hit the mute button, and got something muted | 23:24 |
| holstein | also, like i mentioned before, when i mute in XFCE from the keyboard shortcuts, there is a bit of an issue unmuting | 23:24 |
| holstein | i would literally open all sound settings, including pavucontrol and start looking for mute buttons | 23:25 |
| holstein | i would consider installing main ubuntu and just use that and add whatever packages you need to it | 23:25 |
| holstein | if you are not going to be using JACK, it will be arguably overkill to have and use ubuntustudio | 23:25 |
| holstein | but, you can feel free to ask in here, or on the mailing list, or in one of the other channels i mentioned, or in #xubuntu | 23:26 |
| holstein | you can take screenshots | 23:26 |
| holstein | without setting in front of the machine, i cant really tell you what to do | 23:26 |
| holstein | *if* you have sound from a live CD, then the hardware is working | 23:26 |
| holstein | you can open a terminal and type into it | 23:26 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 23:27 |
| holstein | and hit return | 23:27 |
| holstein | this will return what sound devices are available | 23:27 |
| holstein | however, i really feel like its just a simple switch somewhere you are just unfamiliar with | 23:27 |
| holstein | it could also be the source... if you are not having sound when playing something in youtube for example | 23:30 |
| holstein | try only playing a local .ogg file, or some system sounds in something like VLC | 23:30 |
| holstein | g33kgyrl: i need to run out, but if you can try some of those other more broad avenues of support, im sure someone will help you out... or, i will be back about this time tomorrow, or we can schedule a time when you are less distracted, and i am not heading out for a concert :) | 23:33 |
