TJ-No, 44.1khz  stereo samples 88.2K samples per second, usually 16-bit, for 176.4Kbytes/second00:01
TJ-For broadcast it's a bit different, FM stereo analogue broadcasts L+R and L-R00:02
TJ-L+R means you can do mono fallback without loss of content, L-R means you can then do (L+R)+(L-R)=2L (the left signal) and (L+R)-(L-R)=2R, the right signal00:04
TJ-L-R is simply broadcast at 38kHz, above the audio range, with the L+R in the normal audiable range00:05
daftykinsthat's joint-stereo and full stereo right?00:06
daftykinsor is it not called that in FM o000:06
TJ-no, 'joint-stereo' is the concept in compressed signals of encoding the shared signal only once00:09
TJ-FM stereo is 'matrix-stero' (mid-sideband stereo)00:10
TJ-I developed the 'joint-stereo' algorithms in the 1980s without realizing it was particularly special, so the MP3 folks at Fraunhoffer got to name it ! I called it de-duplication00:11
daftykins:D wowzer, so were you working for them at the time?00:12
TJ-No, I had no idea they even existed, I was well before MP2/MP3 were born.00:12
daftykinsi feel i'm in the presence of an audio engineering rockstar now :)00:14
TJ-I started out writing games engines, focusing on sound, with a school-friend partner. He focused on the graphics side. We had a customer wanted to store a lot of sampled audio, and compression was the only solution. I began researching it and at the time interpolation was about the state-of-the-art, so I went off and developed a compression system that typically achieved 50:1 with music, and higher00:14
TJ-with less dynamically diverse sources, and then patented and licenced it to various companies: games, engineering, telecommuncations, computing00:14
TJ-This was in the days of the Commodore Amiga, Atari 520 ST, Spectrum, BBC Micro, et al00:15
TJ-Our engine was cross-platform, written in assembler, and games companies licenced it from us and put their games on top. Think 'API/framework' in modern parlance00:15
daftykins:D00:16
daftykinshmm probably too early for me then to have heard if it had a name00:16
TJ-Well, I called it asterix, but it was never a consumer thing, it was used in the internals of larger systems. The biggest users back then were telecoms companies wanting to multiplex voice circuits that had been switching to digital.00:19
TJ-instead of installing more cable/fibre between PoPs they could put some hardware on either end of the link and typically put 100 voice calls down the same link that 1 had required previously00:20
daftykinscrikey00:21
daftykinssounds like that took off in a big way :>00:21
TJ-the most enjoyable implementations were for digital jukeboxes, when hard disks started replacing CDs, and when a 320MB SCSI drive back then was full-height and about £1200, so compressing the music saved a massive amount00:22
TJ-I used to test using Madonna's track 'Like a Virgin' and I got to the point I feel sick whenever I hear it now :)00:23
TJ-I seem to have a knack for getting deep into the guts of technology :)00:24
daftykins:D00:25
daftykinsmmm Madonna overdose00:25
daftykinswell that's fascinating stuff TJ-00:36
daftykinsi shall have to remember you in all topics audio ;)00:37
daftykinsright i think it's time for that early bed00:37
daftykinsg'night all o/00:37
TJ-g'night, me too I think00:37

TJ-lotuspsychje: Your KV8 manual, BIOS reference, page 3-13 LDT & PCI Bus Control, may have a setting that is causing the issue with the WMP600N. See http://data.manualslib.com/pdf3/61/6019/601840-abit/kv8max3.pdf?17bb938c96dcf6a267078151fc0fa9ab03:57
lotuspsychjelets c03:58
TJ-lotuspsychje: I'd suggest doing a BIOS factory default reset once again, then looking at those settings, take a photo as they are by default so I can see, then try altering them and testing03:58
lotuspsychjeTJ-: yeah ill do cmos and battery takeout03:58
TJ-Also, the interupts are shared over the various devices/PCI sockets. Page 3-19 onwards shows the settings and there's a table on page 3-2003:59
lotuspsychjei tryed many things already,minimal defaults, optimized,all pci settings change03:59
lotuspsychjebut it would make most sense its a mobo issue04:00
lotuspsychjebut why ubuntu sees it as a wrong device puzzles me lol04:01
lotuspsychjeone would think, you can see the card or totaly not04:01
TJ-It could be a timing issue, and that LDT stuff affects that04:03
lotuspsychjeTJ-: i have all ltd/pci settings default as the manual right now04:03
TJ-PCI1/PCI2 Master 0 WS Write especially04:03
TJ-When that is enabled writes are performed with 0 wait-states. Set it to Disabled and 1 wait state is inserted. That might help04:04
lotuspsychjeill try to fool around with it04:04
TJ-the other possiblity is, the slot the WMP600N is in is using the same resources as the AGP card, or a system device04:05
TJ-So the table on 3-20 would help figure out a slot config that avoids any posible conflict04:06
lotuspsychjeTJ-: there must be something, as the card worked like a charm before04:06
TJ-lotuspsychje: right, and the fact we know the card's PCI config space contains the correct values but when the kernel scans the bus it gets that first byte corrupted, says there's a hardware/timing issuing04:09
lotuspsychjeyeah04:09
TJ-It could be the card not mapping its config registers into memory fast enough for the system even. Does the PC have any clock controls so you could reduce the Front-Side Bus MHz as a test?04:11
lotuspsychjeTJ-: got a reply on my bug from dev to test another specific kernel bah, not gonan try it04:11
TJ-lotuspsychje: don't blame you; a lot of that stuff is automated, or done without actually reading the bug report04:11
lotuspsychjeTJ-: yes its got in-bios overclocking04:11
TJ-try slowing it down04:11
lotuspsychjeok04:11
lotuspsychjelets get this puzzle straight soon :p04:13
TJ-it's like being sherlock holmes sometimes04:14
lotuspsychjelol04:14
TJ-After you've eliminated all the other possibilities, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is the answer04:15
lotuspsychjeTJ-: i love systematic thinking :p04:16
TJ-Well, it beats the heck out of reinstalling :)04:16
lotuspsychjeTJ-: my xenial just keep rocknrolling for now on it :p04:17

lotuspsychjenever heard something like that b409:54
lotuspsychjeoh..experimental noise09:56
wileeelotuspsychje, Not sure there is a genre really, many do this though in some form or another, the detune of the pitch sounds to me like some composers who went beyond 12 tones, ex noise yeah sound good09:56
wileeeThey did an album with some others I know in honor of Joseph Campbel after his passing.09:57
wileeea person I know new him09:58

daftykinsno updates for your board available i take it?15:54
lotus|xenialdaftykins: not sure, but it worked on trusty thats whats weird right15:54
TJ-And the mobos in my store aren't precisely the same15:54
daftykinsoh yeah15:55
TJ-lotus|xenial: OK, so we now know it has default settings. Now try altering those LDT settings. First one was to change the Master WS Write to Disabled15:55
lotus|xenialok lemme go try that15:55
lotus|xenialbrb15:55
TJ-lotus|xenial: Oh, and make sure that the WMP600N is actually in PCI1 or PCI2 port15:55
lotus|xenialTJ-: the first or seconf ontop right15:56
lotus|xenialor bottom?15:56
TJ-I think PC1 is nearest the AGP slot, let me check15:56
lotus|xeniali cant use pci1 as the x800 is a big card15:56
lotus|xenialpci2 is possible15:56

daftykinsi like a good resurrection15:58
TJ-Now all I need is to get the host mobo to boot from USB!16:00
daftykinsthere's always plop :>16:00
TJ-how is that going to help if the BIOS won't read the USB device?16:00
TJ-its an 'embedded' mobo so no drives hanging off it, so its either USB, PXE, or do the install from another PC, but I'm trying to force it to behave - as it has booted from USB previously. I vaguely recall I had to pull the CMOS battery or something after each successful USB boot16:02
daftykinsoh ok i thought a standard system16:03
daftykinsi thought plop was a bootable CD that can pass over to flash drives was all16:03
* daftykins is preparing for patch tuesday16:06
TJ-Yes, it does. The issue here is perplexingly different. The BIOS offers about 8 different 'types' of USB-based boot, but the "USB HDD" and other 'HDD' permutations don't work. The 'FDD' permutations sometimes result in a message saying no boot loader found, try again. For all permutations the USB's LED blinks to show the BIOS is accessing it :s16:06

daftykinsit was as simple as placement?16:08
lotus|xenialyep16:08
lotus|xenialnow driver recognizes it16:09
TJ-I think more likely the Master Write - putting a delay of 1 cycle on bus accesses16:09
EriC^^!yay16:09
ubot5Glad you made it! :-)16:09
lotus|xenialyessss16:09
daftykinsXD16:09
EriC^^!beer16:09
lotus|xeniallol16:09
lotus|xenialnow the logic of tthis?16:09
daftykinsok i'm gonna get a coffee and cake from the coffee shop to celebrate on your behalf, lotus|xenial ;)16:09
lotus|xenialwhy did this work on trusty on port3?16:09
TJ-daftykins: the problem was the first byte read from the PCI config registers had its 2nd nibble corrupted, but when we read the Registers ourselves the content was correct, so it had to be an access issue, and the usual cause is the host reading the registers before the device has got them fully mapped into the host address space16:10
TJ-lotus|xenial: Because the PCI bus scanning code has gone through a LOT of changes16:10
TJ-It is now much faster and more parallelised16:11
lotus|xenialTJ-: what kind of changes?16:11
daftykinsah-har16:11
daftykinsso it was a race condition in essence?16:11
TJ-The code was getting to be a mess of quirks so it was re-written cleaner and more flexible16:11
lotus|xenialTJ-: could you update my bug in your words mate16:12
TJ-daftykins: kind of, yes, although in this case it was simply the mobo was optimsing hardware reads too much16:12

EriC^^OerHeks: yeah i dont think it will work with the tv, just remembered that, it's too tiny in the back16:37
EriC^^OerHeks: do you think you could remove windows and install ubuntu to one of those? instead of getting the ubuntu with lower spec?16:37
OerHeksSure, why not?16:37
OerHekshttp://liliputing.com/2015/07/simplest-way-to-load-ubuntu-on-intel-compute-stick-with-windows-so-far.html16:38
EriC^^cool16:38

OerHeks3.19.0-33-generic #3816:49
TJ-hmmm, all my equipment must know I have been soldering - 1 of the fridge/freezers has blown the top off a transistor!17:00
daftykinsthey're all ganging up for some work to be done :)17:04
TJ-it feels that way!17:04
daftykinsodd, usually when i take something apart, the rest stop showing quirks for fear of being opened up themselves :>17:04
TJ-yeah, normally, that is what happens with me17:05
daftykinsyesterday was really odd, i woke up to find my heating on - turned out the dying batteries in the wireless control thermostat had somehow made it decide to run itself17:05
daftykinssomehow no more signal saying "heating off" meant "hey lets run!"17:05
TJ-because the TY has blown it's cap I can't read the part number, but I think its Z7S Y227 which is SO old I'm going to have fun finding a compatible replacement17:07
daftykinsdoh!17:07
daftykinshey did i hear right that maplin closed down across the UK? we don't have one down here but i thought they did17:07
TJ-Not that I know of17:13
daftykinsi went in once when the slow blow fuse in my speaker set blew17:14
Latrodectusi need to buy a soldering kit :(17:15
Latrodectusand a ominmeter (i think that's what their called)17:16
daftykinsmultimeter perhaps17:18
OerHeksall these appliances blownup ...something to do with all those solarflares lately ?17:19
TJ-Get a rework station that has hot air and soldering iron17:20
TJ-I do wish the manufacturers would make it easier to locate the marking codes against the component part number, its actually a Z0107MN/5AA4 Triac.17:26
OerHeksTJ-, if a triac blows, there is a failure somewhere else too, isn't it?17:28
EriC^^how much mbps do you need to watch youtube videos without buffering?17:30
OerHekssure 5 mbit would be enough17:31
EriC^^i think i have 24mbps right now or so, but i want to change the internet to use a bigger transfer one, largest they have is 8mbps17:31
EriC^^ok i guess 6 or 8 then17:32
daftykinsi think most streaming services enjoy 5Mb (megabits) per second for most things17:32
OerHeks6 mbit for digital tv17:35
daftykinscome on Microsoft i'm ready for patch Tuesday :P17:37
TJ-OerHeks: usually, but in this case I know a short caused it. Replacing a thermistor at the same time17:38
OerHeksoh oke, continue17:41
daftykinshappy to help eating anything good in said fridge whilst it is repaired :>17:46

TJ-haha - if it don't get fixed I'll turn it into a sled ... just in time for snow :)17:54
TJ-hmmm, it seems my apple pies have been hacking the freezer :p18:07

OerHeksi was looking at those smartphone-zombies http://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/screens-stealing-soul-sur-fake-antoine-geiger-25.jpg21:23
daftykinsmy friends have real problems being 'present' when out and about in public places these days, total slaves to their phones21:28
OerHeksi don't have friends, they have smartphones, me none.21:28
OerHeks:-(21:29
OerHeksi don't count anymore21:29
OerHekscalling me costs money, they say.21:29
OerHeksmaybe that is why i don't do any effort to get such BQ 5.0 hd21:30
daftykins:D21:30
JanCwell, the bq 4.5 is cheaper  ;)22:45
OerHeks5.0 has a little better batterytime22:46
OerHeksBut helping my mom with bills is a little higher priority, that is the real reason.22:47
wileeeyou're a good son ;)22:49
wileeeso I assume, heh22:49
wileeeson*22:49
OerHeksWell, i like to kick my brother in the <somewhere> as he has a good job, own house etc ... but he has 2 kids too.22:50
OerHeksoh, they have smartphones.22:51
wileeeheh, diabolical22:51
OerHeksand oke, it makes me proud, she was there for us all these years, now it is our turn.22:52
OerHeks( he does legal work for her, that can be expensive too)22:53
wileeecommon theme in many cultures, most really population wise, The US fails here among a few others22:53
OerHeksTrue, some old people never see their kids, maybe once a month or less.. i live 10 km from her house, 40 minutes on my bicycle.22:54
wileeemy mom and I are not even talking now, her choice, an only child here, never really attached emotionally past about 10 yrs old, my family rarely contacts each other22:56
wileeewelcome to the US, lol22:56
OerHeksdaftykins, that meles is on trusty, kernel 4.0.0-040000-generic is not for trusty, even after removal of nvidia 352 .. is it worth looking into that?23:08
OerHeksand that ppa, https://launchpad.net/~beineri/+archive/ubuntu/opt-qt55-trusty23:08
OerHeks...23:08
daftykinsOerHeks: i'd rather the guy weren't using a mainline, just being really stubborn since the 3.13 didn't support his laptop i think. haswell and broadwell based machine, so super recent23:09
OerHeksthat kernel wants systemD, no?23:10
daftykinsi don't think that's an issue for testing against 14.04, should be alright23:11
OerHekske23:12
daftykinsbah my nice new disk enclosure stopped working >8\23:13
* OerHeks blames sunflares23:13
TJ-Just looked at this meles issue - I *think* it looks like the opengl compiz plugin missing23:18
daftykinssounds like a plan, i'm playing with my drive enclosure now =|23:24
TJ-lost power, or stopped responding on the interface?23:25
daftykinspops up on my PC just fine, but it's a storage drive for use with my xbox one23:51
daftykinsunfortunately in their wisdom, the things use a modified MBR so that they're not readable as standard from a PC23:51
TJ-strange23:54
daftykinsargh there's a disk browser available but it's hidden behind a scene FTP23:58
