[02:11] Hi, I have some questions. [02:12] I have been using Ubuntu Studio 16.04 since it came out. [02:13] However, I have just realized that the VLC 2.2.2 (Weatherwax) that comes with it has a little problem. [02:14] I use it to play the .dat file, but it only give me music, no sound from the singer. [02:30] Do you happen to have the same problem? [02:34] It only happens to .dat file, though. [04:58] 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? [05:00] It works with Ubuntu Studio 16.04 and prior version of VLC though. [05:00] I set my output as pulse audio. [05:01] erick_: Yes, but still, to understand the problem - first, what kind of audio file are you listening to? [05:01] Normally, there are only two channels, and the vocals are in both [05:01] So, it would be physically impossible not to hear them [05:02] 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] Probably you can select the output as "stereo" in vlc [05:02] Or, downmix to stereo [05:06] It is video file but it is in .dat format. [05:07] Let's me try that now. [05:08] erick_: Ok, so then it is probably a 5.1 file [05:08] erick_: Either the problem is in vlc or pulseaudio. Make sure both are in stereo mode [05:19] I can't get it to work yet, but I will try it some more. [05:19] Thanks. [06:03] Just wondering what is happening with Software Download service for Ubuntu Studio 16.04? It seems disabled. [07:48] exit === DalekSec_ is now known as DalekSec [15:48] 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 ? [15:49] ok.. [15:49] Must be a record [15:50] just restarted but still no audio. Is there anyone there ? :) [15:50] rj_: Yes [15:51] just in case I missed a message:) [15:51] rj_: Your probably have more than one audio device [15:51] So, you need to make one of them your default [15:51] I just asked about advise for my HP probook that has no audio [15:52] ok. do you know how to ? [15:52] In outputs, click the green/white button that says "Set as fallback" when you hover it, for the correct audio device [15:53] Or, rather in "Output Devices", but I'm sure you can find it [15:53] right clicking on the loudspeaker icon [15:53] Yes, just like you did before [15:54] I get only ALSA plug in [plugin container] ALSA playback [15:55] rj_: Yes, that is in the "Playback" tab [15:55] I dont see any green white button [15:55] That's because you are not in the "Output Devices" tab [15:56] ok it is becaouse I have a danish set up [15:56] I would guess you have two choices there [15:56] Ah, ok [15:57] and the english names are slightly different [15:57] utgang, or something similar [15:57] I'm Swedish myself, btw [15:58] when hoower over the gree white it says something like set as drawback [15:58] Right. So, click on the one that is the correct audio output for you [15:58] You probably have HDMI and built-iin [15:59] right but that is not an option :( [15:59] yes hdmi [15:59] let me look again [15:59] Only HDMI? [15:59] yes only hdmi [15:59] no other option [16:00] That's a problem, for sure. [16:00] Not very common one, I would think [16:00] yes very strange :) [16:00] Has that laptop worked for you before with Linux? [16:00] it seems it hasent registered any other devices [16:01] no it hasnot it is new and this is its first linux [16:01] but theres this 'funny ' thing [16:01] rj_: Try this command in a terminal: [16:01] cat /proc/asound/cards [16:02] Still only one? [16:03] 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] ill do the terminal now [16:04] it says [16:04] 0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH [16:04] HDA Intel PCH at 0xc1320000 irq 129 [16:04] That's not HDMI [16:04] So, that should work [16:04] Perhaps it is stuck in earphone mode? [16:05] You have earphones to test with? [16:05] what does the output mean? [16:05] yes I have earplugs [16:05] :) [16:05] That looks like your builtin audio card [16:05] HDA-intel .... ? [16:06] rj_: To see all your usable outputs, you can do 'aplay -l' in a terminal [16:07] Perhaps the same audio device is also for the HDMI output [16:09] **** Liste over PLAYBACK-hardwareenheder **** [16:09] lydkort 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], enhed 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] [16:09] Underenheder: 0/1 [16:09] Underenhed #0: subdevice #0 [16:09] lydkort 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], enhed 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] [16:09] Underenheder: 1/1 [16:09] Underenhed #0: subdevice #0 [16:09] lydkort 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], enhed 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2] [16:09] Underenheder: 1/1 [16:09] Underenhed #0: subdevice #0 [16:09] Could be the alsa drivers are not yet working with your hardware [16:09] I don't see any builtin there. Only HDMI [16:10] Which Ubuntu (Studio) release? [16:11] 14.4 [16:11] yes only hdmi [16:12] rj_: 14.04 is old. Try 16.04 instead [16:12] Probably the kernel in 16.04 has drivers for your hardware [16:13] yes it is because I wanted mathbuntu on it and it runs on 14.4 [16:13] is 16.4 LTS ? [16:14] maybe I could install the drivers on this 14.4 [16:14] ? [16:16] 16.04 is a LTS, yes [16:16] You could try updating [16:16] new kernels are offered every 6 months [16:17] You may need to install it especially. Not sure [16:17] Let's see [16:18] 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] To see your current version, do 'uname -r' [16:19] there may be a meta package available for a newer kernel. Don't remember the names [16:19] Might be something like linux-generic-lts-xenial [16:23] have to go now :) thanx for your reply [16:24] rj_: Alright. See you around :) [17:22] 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 [17:23] Zequence: ddid you see it :) thank you for your attention :) [17:23] rj_: Good to hear :) [17:25] rj_: Cool, the driver existed, but wasn't being loaded [17:25] just adding the two lines to a file in etc/modprobe and to furth :) [17:25] yap [17:25] I mean yep [17:26] now I amm getting ready to eksplore this distro [17:26] a collegue at work is working with media production at the high school [17:27] He makes film festivals an I think this distro could revolutionize it all :) [17:28] rj_: I myself am doing music production on Ubuntu Studio. It can be done, but it is not always for the faint hearted [17:29] 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] eksplain faint heated :) [17:29] hearted [17:30] ok [17:30] I see [17:30] For me, it is no problem. I know how to fix things. But, many friends of mine, they would be totally lost [17:31] Would take too much energy [17:31] hackers public radio has a few podcasters recomending this distro [17:31] If there are teachers who knows this stuff, that would work [17:31] I understand [17:31] I am a teacher :) [17:31] and I just keep trying [17:32] but sometimes I have to sleep :) [17:32] :D [17:32] I teach math physics and informatics [17:32] The most important part is actually the hardware [17:33] If the computer is too new, well, like you just experienced. it can happen [17:33] Also, AMD graphics is not recommended [17:33] 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] ubuntu [17:33] That's awesome [17:34] yes and at the local primary school theres a teacher that installs ubuntu mint on all the old machines [17:35] so many details :) [17:35] I'm sometimes a teacher too. Teaching php, html, css and also Linux and Audio Processing for unemployued people [17:35] the pubils make apps for android and iphone [17:36] 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] your in sweeden ? [17:36] Yes, in Göteborg [17:36] Im in copenhagen [17:37] I have a house near tingsryd [17:37] 30 k north of karlshamn [17:38] Zequence: I must write with you again here some time [17:38] I've been there a couple of times. Actually visited Copenhagen for the last physical Ubuntu Devoper Summit [17:38] rj_: I'm always here. I may not answer directly, but I'm always logged in [17:38] physicall ubuntu developer summit ? [17:38] what is that ? [17:38] Yes, the last time Ubuntu developers got together in person [17:39] I was representing Ubuntu Studio [17:39] I later became the project lead [17:39] arwesome [17:39] impressing [17:39] Now, another Swedish guy is the project lead. So, lots of Nordic influence I would say [17:39] respect to you [17:39] It's a very, very small team [17:39] Not many people find their way to us [17:40] If you know anyone who would be interested, please show them our way - we would be happy :) [17:41] 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 [17:42] of course [17:42] I will spread the message [17:42] :) [17:44] zequence: gotta go see ya [17:45] rj_: See you around :) [17:45] yep :) === Metacity|uh-oh is now known as Metacity
