| delt | 19:01 < OvenWerk1> delt: under media playback there is a "HDAJackretask" that may (or not) help | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| delt | were you talking about the mixer app? | 00:35 |
| delt | ah i see, alsa-tools-gui - GUI based ALSA utilities for specific hardware | 00:35 |
| delt | hmm, i don't see the menu entry under "media playback", but: alsa-tools-gui is already the newest version. | 00:36 |
| delt | though i do have the "hdajackretask" binary installed | 00:37 |
| OvenWerk1 | I don't know why it wouldn't be there. I don't think I installed it, so it was on the ISO. | 00:38 |
| OvenWerk1 | (14.04) | 00:38 |
| OvenWerk1 | Mine won't run as the internal sound is turned off in bios... Cause I have such a high opinion of it :) | 00:38 |
| delt | hehe -) what sound card are you using? | 00:39 |
| OvenWerk1 | I have a delta66 for audio and an old ensoniq audiopci for midi. | 00:39 |
| OvenWerk1 | They are not the best, but better than the internal. I can get much lower latency too. | 00:40 |
| delt | I'm using the internal hda of my mobo, which i find actually quite decent, and a good old SB live for midi input (db15 connector) / spare audio stuff. | 00:41 |
| OvenWerk1 | The output from the internals is generally very good. I have had too much problem with the inputs to use them. Often one or other channel will be noisy for no reason. | 00:42 |
| OvenWerk1 | Also, the delta has standard level inputs and outputs that work with the mic preamps and mixer. | 00:43 |
| delt | nice. | 00:43 |
| delt | reading the documentation of hda-jack-retask | 00:48 |
| delt | also nice. =) | 00:48 |
| delt | just wondering why do most onboard sound cards only have one line-out jack (stereo) if they support, say, up to 7.1 surround? | 00:54 |
| OvenWerk1 | Most newer ones also have more on headers on the MB. | 00:55 |
| OvenWerk1 | But a lot expect you to use the digital video out that some of them have | 00:55 |
| OvenWerk1 | HDV or whatever connector | 00:56 |
| delt | ah, so in most "analog" cases, you need to buy/make a module that has "jumper" type connectors on one side and audio jacks on the other...? | 00:56 |
| OvenWerk1 | Something like that. I think you can get ready made ones too. | 00:57 |
| delt | *fishes out motherboard manual* | 00:57 |
| OvenWerk1 | Often you can use the line in as an output and the front line out as another | 00:58 |
| OvenWerk1 | Thats 6, not sure where the other two are :) | 00:59 |
| delt | ah, i see my motherboard has a 10-pin connector (5x2 pins, one absent and one NC) for HDA and a similar one for AC97 | 01:00 |
| delt | though hdajackretask shows pin ID's up to 0x1F, which is higher than 10 | 01:03 |
| OvenWerk1 | Some of those may belong to the rear panel | 01:03 |
| delt | oh duh, that counts the connectors on the rear panel | 01:03 |
| delt | ebay: 0 results found for hda front panel | 01:07 |
| OvenWerk1 | The nice thing about the header is that you can build a panel/BOB with real connecters on it instead of tiny little jacks. | 01:08 |
| OvenWerk1 | Most of those come with the case. | 01:08 |
| OvenWerk1 | http://www.ebay.com/bhp/front-panel-audio-cable | 01:10 |
| OvenWerk1 | Ya, I know missing lots :) | 01:10 |
| delt | if i can find one with 4 USB ports as well, for a reasonable price i'd probably buy it. | 01:12 |
| delt | normally those red 1/4" (mic) are physically stereo jacks, right? | 01:16 |
| OvenWerk1 | On HDA they are and detect a stereo plug plugged in if set right | 01:19 |
| delt | that's part of the official specs? | 01:20 |
| delt | hello cfhowlett | 01:20 |
| OvenWerk1 | I think so. It is kind of a long document... I have looked through, but read it all. :) | 01:21 |
| OvenWerk1 | that shold be not... | 01:21 |
| OvenWerk1 | But plug detect is one of the HDA features that has to be turned off if you plug AC97 plugs into the MB | 01:22 |
| cfhowlett | delt greetings | 01:22 |
| OvenWerk1 | The idea is to be able to have more than one use for all audio jacks. | 01:24 |
| OvenWerk1 | In theory you need 4 jacks for 7.1 sound. So three on the back and two on the front leaves one left over for a mic. | 01:28 |
| delt | ah i see. | 01:29 |
| delt | who needs 7.1 anyway :D | 01:29 |
| OvenWerk1 | If I can mix good stereo I will be happy | 01:30 |
| delt | for me even 5.1 is kind of overkill. + i mostly use headphones which are 2.0 anyway. | 01:30 |
| delt | CD's are stereo. afaik there's no way to store surround sound on a standard audio cd | 01:30 |
| OvenWerk1 | There are ... or were 4 chanel headphones at one time. | 01:31 |
| delt | yeah, sony designed that weird kind of connector | 01:31 |
| delt | like, 10 years ago | 01:31 |
| OvenWerk1 | Anyway, I should go eat. | 01:32 |
| OvenWerk1 | (supper here) | 01:33 |
| delt | bon app/tit | 01:33 |
| delt | uh... appétit | 01:33 |
| delt | damn...why do all front panels on ebay only have 2 audio jacks :( ?? | 02:08 |
| holstein | delt: stereo.. its what most need | 03:33 |
| holstein | delt: you'll need to search the "pro audio" section for things with more inputs | 03:33 |
| letstrythis | so what happend to cpushare" and can i still use it to do what it was meant to be used for? | 03:41 |
| letstrythis | cpushare.com doesn't load | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | letstrythis http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/cpushare.com.html | 03:44 |
| letstrythis | lol ty | 04:35 |
| delt | holstein: yeah, us musicians are happy with stereo... but i thought masses of consumers were into 5.1 surround if not 7.1 these days....? | 05:55 |

| delt | hello | 22:47 |
| delt | i just installed 14.04 on my laptop, now i'm getting the "screen goes black" bug when i close the lid. | 22:47 |
| delt | fortunately i mapped a key to "xrandr --auto" but how do i fix this? | 22:48 |
| delt | i created a /etc/acpi/lid.sh but it doesn't get executed on lid open/close :/ | 23:12 |
| delt | and even if it did, it can't open the :0 display | 23:20 |
