| erick_ | Hi, I have some questions. | 02:11 |
|---|---|---|
| erick_ | I have been using Ubuntu Studio 16.04 since it came out. | 02:12 |
| erick_ | However, I have just realized that the VLC 2.2.2 (Weatherwax) that comes with it has a little problem. | 02:13 |
| erick_ | I use it to play the .dat file, but it only give me music, no sound from the singer. | 02:14 |
| erick_ | Do you happen to have the same problem? | 02:30 |
| erick_ | It only happens to .dat file, though. | 02:34 |
| zequence | erick_: Not sure what a .dat file is (suspecting some form of windows file), but perhaps the output is more than stereo, and the vocals are only on two of the channels? | 04:58 |
| erick_ | It works with Ubuntu Studio 16.04 and prior version of VLC though. | 05:00 |
| erick_ | I set my output as pulse audio. | 05:00 |
| zequence | erick_: Yes, but still, to understand the problem - first, what kind of audio file are you listening to? | 05:01 |
| zequence | Normally, there are only two channels, and the vocals are in both | 05:01 |
| zequence | So, it would be physically impossible not to hear them | 05:01 |
| zequence | This is why I'm guessing you have more than two channels in that file, and the vocals are not mixed into all of them | 05:02 |
| zequence | Probably you can select the output as "stereo" in vlc | 05:02 |
| zequence | Or, downmix to stereo | 05:02 |
| erick_ | It is video file but it is in .dat format. | 05:06 |
| erick_ | Let's me try that now. | 05:07 |
| zequence | erick_: Ok, so then it is probably a 5.1 file | 05:08 |
| zequence | erick_: Either the problem is in vlc or pulseaudio. Make sure both are in stereo mode | 05:08 |
| erick_ | I can't get it to work yet, but I will try it some more. | 05:19 |
| erick_ | Thanks. | 05:19 |
| Guest1234590 | Just wondering what is happening with Software Download service for Ubuntu Studio 16.04? It seems disabled. | 06:03 |

| rj_ | I havwe to ask here. I have ubuntu studio on a HP Probook 450 G3. But theres is no audio out from neither the headphone plug nor the in built speakers. right clicking on the speaker icon and choosing the preferences I can see the signal comes through. It works on the dual boot on ms windows. I have tried sudo apt-get --purge autoremove linux-headers-`uname -r` && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` anyone has a good advise ? | 15:48 |
| zequence | ok.. | 15:49 |
| zequence | Must be a record | 15:49 |
| rj_ | just restarted but still no audio. Is there anyone there ? :) | 15:50 |
| zequence | rj_: Yes | 15:50 |
| rj_ | just in case I missed a message:) | 15:51 |
| zequence | rj_: Your probably have more than one audio device | 15:51 |
| zequence | So, you need to make one of them your default | 15:51 |
| rj_ | I just asked about advise for my HP probook that has no audio | 15:51 |
| rj_ | ok. do you know how to ? | 15:52 |
| zequence | In outputs, click the green/white button that says "Set as fallback" when you hover it, for the correct audio device | 15:52 |
| zequence | Or, rather in "Output Devices", but I'm sure you can find it | 15:53 |
| rj_ | right clicking on the loudspeaker icon | 15:53 |
| zequence | Yes, just like you did before | 15:53 |
| rj_ | I get only ALSA plug in [plugin container] ALSA playback | 15:54 |
| zequence | rj_: Yes, that is in the "Playback" tab | 15:55 |
| rj_ | I dont see any green white button | 15:55 |
| zequence | That's because you are not in the "Output Devices" tab | 15:55 |
| rj_ | ok it is becaouse I have a danish set up | 15:56 |
| zequence | I would guess you have two choices there | 15:56 |
| zequence | Ah, ok | 15:56 |
| rj_ | and the english names are slightly different | 15:57 |
| zequence | utgang, or something similar | 15:57 |
| zequence | I'm Swedish myself, btw | 15:57 |
| rj_ | when hoower over the gree white it says something like set as drawback | 15:58 |
| zequence | Right. So, click on the one that is the correct audio output for you | 15:58 |
| zequence | You probably have HDMI and built-iin | 15:58 |
| rj_ | right but that is not an option :( | 15:59 |
| rj_ | yes hdmi | 15:59 |
| rj_ | let me look again | 15:59 |
| zequence | Only HDMI? | 15:59 |
| rj_ | yes only hdmi | 15:59 |
| rj_ | no other option | 15:59 |
| zequence | That's a problem, for sure. | 16:00 |
| zequence | Not very common one, I would think | 16:00 |
| rj_ | yes very strange :) | 16:00 |
| zequence | Has that laptop worked for you before with Linux? | 16:00 |
| rj_ | it seems it hasent registered any other devices | 16:00 |
| rj_ | no it hasnot it is new and this is its first linux | 16:01 |
| rj_ | but theres this 'funny ' thing | 16:01 |
| zequence | rj_: Try this command in a terminal: | 16:01 |
| zequence | cat /proc/asound/cards | 16:01 |
| zequence | Still only one? | 16:02 |
| rj_ | when it has its first windows (I just had a reinstall off windows) then there was a slight problem with it... it didnt shift from speakers to earplugs automatically. So I thought theres something speciel with this audio on the HP | 16:03 |
| rj_ | ill do the terminal now | 16:03 |
| rj_ | it says | 16:04 |
| rj_ | 0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH | 16:04 |
| rj_ | HDA Intel PCH at 0xc1320000 irq 129 | 16:04 |
| zequence | That's not HDMI | 16:04 |
| zequence | So, that should work | 16:04 |
| zequence | Perhaps it is stuck in earphone mode? | 16:04 |
| zequence | You have earphones to test with? | 16:05 |
| rj_ | what does the output mean? | 16:05 |
| rj_ | yes I have earplugs | 16:05 |
| rj_ | :) | 16:05 |
| zequence | That looks like your builtin audio card | 16:05 |
| rj_ | HDA-intel .... ? | 16:05 |
| zequence | rj_: To see all your usable outputs, you can do 'aplay -l' in a terminal | 16:06 |
| zequence | Perhaps the same audio device is also for the HDMI output | 16:07 |
| rj_ | **** Liste over PLAYBACK-hardwareenheder **** | 16:09 |
| rj_ | lydkort 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], enhed 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] | 16:09 |

| rj_ | Underenheder: 1/1 | 16:09 |
| rj_ | Underenhed #0: subdevice #0 | 16:09 |
| zequence | Could be the alsa drivers are not yet working with your hardware | 16:09 |
| zequence | I don't see any builtin there. Only HDMI | 16:09 |
| zequence | Which Ubuntu (Studio) release? | 16:10 |
| rj_ | 14.4 | 16:11 |
| rj_ | yes only hdmi | 16:11 |
| zequence | rj_: 14.04 is old. Try 16.04 instead | 16:12 |
| zequence | Probably the kernel in 16.04 has drivers for your hardware | 16:12 |
| rj_ | yes it is because I wanted mathbuntu on it and it runs on 14.4 | 16:13 |
| rj_ | is 16.4 LTS ? | 16:13 |
| rj_ | maybe I could install the drivers on this 14.4 | 16:14 |
| rj_ | ? | 16:14 |
| zequence | 16.04 is a LTS, yes | 16:16 |
| zequence | You could try updating | 16:16 |
| zequence | new kernels are offered every 6 months | 16:16 |
| zequence | You may need to install it especially. Not sure | 16:17 |
| zequence | Let's see | 16:17 |
| zequence | Actually, I'm not on that release. You could try doing 'apt-search linux-image' and see if you find a newer version than you have | 16:18 |
| zequence | To see your current version, do 'uname -r' | 16:18 |
| zequence | there may be a meta package available for a newer kernel. Don't remember the names | 16:19 |
| zequence | Might be something like linux-generic-lts-xenial | 16:19 |
| rj_ | have to go now :) thanx for your reply | 16:23 |
| zequence | rj_: Alright. See you around :) | 16:24 |
| rj_ | Hi everyone who read my last messages I soled it :) using this: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Audio/ProBook-450-G3-Ubuntu-sound/td-p/5447804 | 17:22 |
| rj_ | Zequence: ddid you see it :) thank you for your attention :) | 17:23 |
| zequence | rj_: Good to hear :) | 17:23 |
| zequence | rj_: Cool, the driver existed, but wasn't being loaded | 17:25 |
| rj_ | just adding the two lines to a file in etc/modprobe and to furth :) | 17:25 |
| rj_ | yap | 17:25 |
| rj_ | I mean yep | 17:25 |
| rj_ | now I amm getting ready to eksplore this distro | 17:26 |
| rj_ | a collegue at work is working with media production at the high school | 17:26 |
| rj_ | He makes film festivals an I think this distro could revolutionize it all :) | 17:27 |
| zequence | rj_: I myself am doing music production on Ubuntu Studio. It can be done, but it is not always for the faint hearted | 17:28 |
| zequence | It's all there, but even when it is under your nose, getting stuff to work - well, just like the problem you just had | 17:29 |
| rj_ | eksplain faint heated :) | 17:29 |
| rj_ | hearted | 17:29 |
| rj_ | ok | 17:30 |
| rj_ | I see | 17:30 |
| zequence | For me, it is no problem. I know how to fix things. But, many friends of mine, they would be totally lost | 17:30 |
| zequence | Would take too much energy | 17:31 |
| rj_ | hackers public radio has a few podcasters recomending this distro | 17:31 |
| zequence | If there are teachers who knows this stuff, that would work | 17:31 |
| rj_ | I understand | 17:31 |
| rj_ | I am a teacher :) | 17:31 |
| rj_ | and I just keep trying | 17:31 |
| rj_ | but sometimes I have to sleep :) | 17:32 |
| zequence | :D | 17:32 |
| rj_ | I teach math physics and informatics | 17:32 |
| zequence | The most important part is actually the hardware | 17:32 |
| zequence | If the computer is too new, well, like you just experienced. it can happen | 17:33 |
| zequence | Also, AMD graphics is not recommended | 17:33 |
| rj_ | and I just started at a high school in Nærum, and for the first time in many years I have three collegues using ubunt | 17:33 |
| rj_ | ubuntu | 17:33 |
| zequence | That's awesome | 17:33 |
| rj_ | yes and at the local primary school theres a teacher that installs ubuntu mint on all the old machines | 17:34 |
| rj_ | so many details :) | 17:35 |
| zequence | I'm sometimes a teacher too. Teaching php, html, css and also Linux and Audio Processing for unemployued people | 17:35 |
| rj_ | the pubils make apps for android and iphone | 17:35 |
| zequence | There's always the few who actually takes an interest in Linux, but it is always a struggle - since you need to install it on something first | 17:36 |
| rj_ | your in sweeden ? | 17:36 |
| zequence | Yes, in Göteborg | 17:36 |
| rj_ | Im in copenhagen | 17:36 |
| rj_ | I have a house near tingsryd | 17:37 |
| rj_ | 30 k north of karlshamn | 17:37 |
| rj_ | Zequence: I must write with you again here some time | 17:38 |
| zequence | I've been there a couple of times. Actually visited Copenhagen for the last physical Ubuntu Devoper Summit | 17:38 |
| zequence | rj_: I'm always here. I may not answer directly, but I'm always logged in | 17:38 |
| rj_ | physicall ubuntu developer summit ? | 17:38 |
| rj_ | what is that ? | 17:38 |
| zequence | Yes, the last time Ubuntu developers got together in person | 17:38 |
| zequence | I was representing Ubuntu Studio | 17:39 |
| zequence | I later became the project lead | 17:39 |
| rj_ | arwesome | 17:39 |
| rj_ | impressing | 17:39 |
| zequence | Now, another Swedish guy is the project lead. So, lots of Nordic influence I would say | 17:39 |
| rj_ | respect to you | 17:39 |
| zequence | It's a very, very small team | 17:39 |
| zequence | Not many people find their way to us | 17:39 |
| zequence | If you know anyone who would be interested, please show them our way - we would be happy :) | 17:40 |
| rj_ | funny I bought a n issue og the linux magazine about ubuntu studio in gøteborg, on my way to Lillehammer week 7 this year :) that is how I found it | 17:41 |
| rj_ | of course | 17:42 |
| rj_ | I will spread the message | 17:42 |
| rj_ | :) | 17:42 |
| rj_ | zequence: gotta go see ya | 17:44 |
| zequence | rj_: See you around :) | 17:45 |
| rj_ | yep :) | 17:45 |
