| twcook | I broke my UbuntuStudio, I installed VLC and now even though I used Synaptic to Completely REmove it. US still does output to my Alesis iO2 anymore. IT worked fine before. Any tips on what may have changed? | 08:23 |
|---|---|---|
| twcook | does not output | 08:23 |
| zequence | twcook: I assure you, it's not related to VLC | 08:26 |
| zequence | Alesis i02. Let me look it up | 08:26 |
| twcook | Ok, but it worked fine before that. so ? | 08:27 |
| zequence | Yea, but still unrelated | 08:27 |
| zequence | VLC has nothing that would affect hardware | 08:27 |
| zequence | It's just an application and some codecs | 08:27 |
| twcook | that is good news, I love VLC :-) | 08:27 |
| zequence | twcook: So, when you say no audio, are you talking about pulseaudio or jack? | 08:30 |
| twcook | PulseAudio, though JAck isn't working anymore either. But I haven't tried to change the settings or anything in JACK | 08:31 |
| zequence | twcook: You could try restarting pulseaudio (would happen if you reboot too): pulseaudio -k | 08:32 |
| zequence | And make sure you selected the Alesis as your output | 08:32 |
| twcook | I have rebooted | 08:32 |
| twcook | When I set the output to the iO2 I get no sound | 08:32 |
| zequence | twcook: If it shows, it's working. Just a matter of configuration | 08:33 |
| zequence | Is there a hardware mixer inside that card? | 08:33 |
| twcook | No | 08:33 |
| twcook | It is an external 2 channel USB adapter, no mixer | 08:34 |
| twcook | yeah, it is the config I don't know how to fix | 08:34 |
| zequence | Yea, it looks like the hardware monitoring is done from the knobs | 08:35 |
| zequence | Some devices has a hardware mixer that you can only control with software | 08:35 |
| zequence | twcook: You could try looking at the controls using alsamixer to see if there's something hidden, but I wouldn't think so | 08:37 |
| twcook | OK, I feel like an idiot. | 08:37 |
| zequence | Just run it in a terminal: alsamixer | 08:38 |
| twcook | But I have to come clean so this doesn't confuse anyone else. | 08:38 |
| twcook | I had at some point turn down the audio output to my external speakers. | 08:38 |
| twcook | REALLY sorry to bother you | 08:38 |
| twcook | But thanks anyway for the speedy reply | 08:39 |
| zequence | I feel pretty confident that it's some kind of levelling problem, somewhere along the chain. Or routing | 08:39 |
| zequence | The drivers seem to work, since it shows up | 08:39 |
| zequence | You haven't messed around with any alsa configs right? like a .asoundrc in your home folder | 08:40 |
| twcook | zequence, Leveling, as in my external volume control to the speakers was turned all the way down | 08:40 |
| twcook | it works now that I fixed that | 08:40 |
| zequence | twcook: Ah, so it works now? | 08:40 |
| zequence | Great :) | 08:40 |
| twcook | yeah, sheepish, go hide in the corner look | 08:40 |
| zequence | Happens to everyone | 08:41 |
| twcook | :-) | 08:41 |
| twcook | thanks | 08:41 |
| twcook | now I can reinstall VLC | 08:42 |

| ubuntu-studio | hey everyone. i'm trying to install from the live CD, but its not progressing from the 'preparing to install' screen. i'm not seeing any network/cpu activity. any thoughts? | 08:51 |
| DR01D-Engineer | does your system meet required specs? | 08:52 |
| DR01D-Engineer | or maybe the cd is corrupt | 08:52 |
| ubuntu-studio | it should meet the specs, i've had previous versions of ubu studio on here before | 08:55 |
| ubuntu-studio | i did the CD check before i started and it produced no errors | 08:56 |
| DR01D-Engineer | not sure then. i just installed via usb stick and it went smoothly | 08:57 |
| ubuntu-studio | hmm i guess i'll give that a try | 08:57 |
| ubuntu-studio | you didn't have a pause at the screen that verifies disk space/power supply/internet connection? | 08:58 |
| DR01D-Engineer | cant say i remember | 08:59 |
| ubuntu-studio | just restarted the install for a 3rd time and it worked | 09:00 |
| ubuntu-studio | makes me feel pretty stupid for waiting 20+ minutes the previous two times | 09:00 |
| DR01D-Engineer | ahh cool | 09:00 |
| DR01D-Engineer | could be your cd reader or something then | 09:01 |
| ubuntu-studio | yeah the first time the disk spun but nothing happend.. second time nothing | 09:01 |
| ubuntu-studio | now i shouldn't run into any problems until i try to configure jack, hahah | 09:03 |
| rutgervdb_ | hello - noobie here in this channel - have recently installed UbuntuStudio 12.10 + Line6 Toneport UX2 - looking for some procedures in hooking it all up. I have sound from electric guitar coming back through headphones and have introduced Rakarrack and Guitarix connected with Jack (QJackCtl) - but am totally unsure where and how it happens | 14:25 |
| rutgervdb_ | It is a very simple setup, and I think it is working. Still looking for references and guides that will help me determine it is connected optimally | 14:27 |
| zequence | rutgervdb_: If you get sound, then you're alright. If you require lower latency, set frames/period lower in qjackctl -> Setup | 14:39 |
| zequence | rutgervdb_: As for setting levels, and monitoring them. That's more in the area of sound engineering | 14:41 |
| rutgervdb_ | zequence: thanks. yup - was able to adjust latency down by reducing frames - it is at 5.8 ms which is quite acceptable. | 14:41 |
| rutgervdb_ | So you are saying - I should be alright if I follow my nose. NExt step is to get the sound into ardour - but that should be easy with qjack too. | 14:42 |
| zequence | rutgervdb_: Could be it's hard to get xrun free performance at lower latencies. One tip is to disable the pulseaudio bridge, which you can do in: qjackctl -> Setup -> Misc -> Enable DBus | 14:43 |
| zequence | Or just uninstall pulseaudio-module-jack | 14:43 |
| zequence | And restart pulseaudio after that | 14:43 |
| zequence | rutgervdb_: Yea, just start ardour, and whatever other apps you like. Make connections in whatever jack connection application you prefer. qjackctl works fine | 14:44 |
| zequence | rutgervdb_: gladish is a session manager, which allows you to save a setup with applications and connections | 14:45 |
| zequence | Haven't used it much myself, but it's probably something you'd be interested in looking at, especially if often using the same mix of applications, with the same connections | 14:46 |
| rutgervdb_ | Cool - thanks - I will check out Gladdish too. | 14:46 |
| rutgervdb_ | Yes - saving all the setups is a good idea so I can quickly get something down on "tape" | 14:47 |
| anthol | hey, anyone here have any experience with specimen? | 22:36 |
| holstein | i have used it briefly anthol .. my friend lsd over in #opensourcemusicians uses it | 22:38 |
| anthol | cool, thanks for the lead. | 22:38 |
| anthol | i was just wondering if it is possible to set different samples to have different root notes, so you don't have to use different midi channels on your hardware | 22:39 |
