[11:22] <deepspeed_> Guys, what are the good music recording/production channels on this server?
[11:23] <astraljava> #opensourcemusicians
[11:29] <deepspeed_> cool.
[11:29] <deepspeed_> thaks
[11:29] <deepspeed_> .. thanks.
[11:49] <deepspeed_> Does anyone else run enlightenment on their recording pc?
[11:50] <deepspeed_> It seems to want to bug out on me with a lot of programs.
[11:50] <deepspeed_> I have enlightenment on a lucid base, and I can't get rackarrack or jackrack to work, and several other music related programs.
[11:51] <deepspeed_> Jack ardour seem fine, and record great, but the less popular programs are iffy.
[11:57] <_raven> 9 hours webcam recording using vlc is broken. ffmpeg, mencoder,avidemux and vlc cannot open it. how to repair this avi?
[22:42] <T61_problems> Hey there, GridCube
[22:43] <T61_problems> Hello everyone, does anyone here have any knowledge on internal microphone for the Lenovo T61?
[22:53] <len-dt> T61_problems, in bug #1004819
[22:54] <len-dt> There are two problems mentioned. The first which I have seen before, is to unlink the two channels and have one full and the other zip.
[22:55] <len-dt> The other you have to read to see if it makes sense.
[22:56] <T61_problems> "unlink the two channels" ?
[22:56] <T61_problems> how do I do that, len-dt?
[22:56] <len-dt> With alsa mixer
[22:56] <T61_problems> ok, I opened alsamixer in terminal
[22:57] <len-dt> Hit F4 to go to capture
[22:57] <T61_problems> there
[22:57] <T61_problems> Internal Mic has 2 spaces, both are blank.  No columns
[22:58] <len-dt> It may be the second problem then.
[22:58] <T61_problems> I have columns for Mic Boost, Capture, Capture 1 Dock Mic Boost, Internal Mic Boost
[22:58] <T61_problems> but Input Source and Input Source 1 are completely blank
[22:59] <len-dt> try capture
[22:59] <T61_problems> what about capture?
[22:59] <T61_problems> the columns are full.
[22:59] <T61_problems> up to the red
[22:59] <T61_problems> ...everything is maxed out.
[23:00] <len-dt> Ya, I am trying to figure out how to unlink left and right using alsa mixer
[23:02] <T61_problems> it is funny, because the audio on the laptop is otherwise quite alright
[23:02] <T61_problems> and, if I use the windows partition, the mic works fine.
[23:03] <len-dt> Ya, the windows driver knows the device.
[23:04] <T61_problems> yep.  But it also tells us that the thing isn't broken
[23:04] <T61_problems> I keep the partition around.  It can be useful, at times.  But the xubuntu interface is 10000x better.
[23:06] <len-dt> T61_problems, from the menu try starting "mixer" in multimedia or media playback
[23:07]  * len-dt should ask what distro is being used
[23:07] <T61_problems> xubuntu 12.04
[23:07] <len-dt> ok it will be in media playback
[23:08] <T61_problems> and "Mixer" option does not exist.
[23:08] <T61_problems> I opened ALSAmixer in the terminal
[23:08] <len-dt> I don't know how to unlink chanels in that mixer ... I should but don't
[23:09] <T61_problems> what mixer do I need?
[23:10] <len-dt> It should be there menu-> mediaplayback->mixer
[23:11] <len-dt> or menu->Audio Production->mixers->mixer
[23:12] <T61_problems> none of those options exist :D
[23:12] <len-dt> Sorry you said xubuntu, I was thinking ubuntustudio... My fault.
[23:12] <T61_problems> ya, its ok
[23:13] <len-dt> Do they have the little speaker icon in the tray?
[23:14] <len-dt> It should have sound settings at the bottom when clicked.
[23:14] <T61_problems> No, no, no
[23:14] <T61_problems> lol
[23:15] <len-dt> In your mutimedia sub menu is there any kind of control?
[23:16] <len-dt> I haven't tried xubuntu for a bit... I don't remember what is there.
[23:17] <T61_problems> I think that I've already been where you are headed.
[23:17] <T61_problems> the issue might have to do with configuration files.
[23:17] <T61_problems> there is an app called Pulseaudio, and a control interface called Pavucontrol
[23:17] <T61_problems> the mixer is ALSAmixer
[23:18] <len-dt> Ya, that one lets you split things
[23:18] <T61_problems> the issue with Pavucontrol is that it wasn't recognizing any devices.
[23:18] <len-dt> Yikes!
[23:19] <len-dt> The xubuntu guys had nothing to say? There are a few of them that do lots of audio
[23:20] <T61_problems> who?
[23:20] <T61_problems> I've investigated this issue online, and there really isn't anything out there
[23:21] <len-dt> Try astraljava  maybe. He would know who else.
[23:21] <len-dt> Ya, sometimes things are like that. I had fun with my internal mic on my net book.
[23:22] <len-dt> It had both the one chanel only problem as well as only working at 48k.
[23:22] <T61_problems> ok, thanks
[23:22] <len-dt> I had to set pulse default to 48000 in stead of 44100
[23:23] <len-dt> Sorry I couldn't help more
[23:25] <T61_problems> no, its ok
[23:25] <astraljava> T61_problems: Sorry, I only tweak things in pavucontrol and alsamixer, if they won't work for you, then I cannot be of further assistance either.
[23:25] <T61_problems> thank you for the effort!
[23:25] <T61_problems> and, thanks astraljava!
