[00:14] <olinuxx> sakrecoer, what's about adding #linuxmao for the !fr bot command ?
[11:26] <sakrecoer> !fr
[12:48] <sakrecoer> olinuxx: it could be an idea, but the risk is that #linuxmao will get lots of ubuntu-related questions... i'll bring it up with those in charge of ubottu :)
[12:49] <sakrecoer> also, hi! :)
[12:49] <sakrecoer> and welcome back!
[12:58] <olinuxx> sakrecoer, linuxmao is *already* dealing with a lots of ubuntu-related questions :)
[12:58] <sakrecoer> :D
[12:59] <olinuxx> since linuxmao is a distro-agnostic french linux audio community, it's not an issue
[13:00] <olinuxx> that being said, that's up to you guys, just suggesting to oil the process for a potential new french comers (I'm not willing here to take the ubuntustudio users outside of this channel which is a great resource for help)
[13:02]  * olinuxx is switching to "trebmuh"
[13:02] <trebmuh> done
[13:03] <zequence> trebmuh: Welcome to our offtopic channel, if you like to hang, at #ubuntustudio-offtopic
[13:03] <zequence> That said, we should probably update our IRC info. We only started using that channel quite recently
[13:04] <trebmuh> ok
[15:30] <victor_tlm> good morning people!!!
[15:30] <victor_tlm> is there someone alive here?
[15:31] <studio-user416> hi
[15:32] <zequence> victor_tlm: studio-user416: hello
[15:32] <studio-user416> hi,
[15:33] <victor_tlm> hello!
[15:33] <victor_tlm> oh hi zequence!!!
[15:33] <studio-user416> my external sound card is not getting detected.. even though pulse audio has it listed
[15:33] <victor_tlm> thanx for your last help the last time
[15:34] <victor_tlm> uhmmmm studio-user416 is working with pulseaudio directly? have you seen if alsa isn't detecting it yet?
[15:34] <victor_tlm> you should use alsamixer and see if is there
[15:34] <zequence> studio-user416: sakrecoer put it well last time you were here, so I'm going to repeat him. In order to know what actually is the problem it would be helpful to know what you are doing exactly
[15:35] <zequence> If pulseaudio has it listed, then it is detected. But, I'm assuming there is no sound - but, in what?
[15:35] <zequence> victor_tlm: You're welcome!
[15:36] <victor_tlm> zequence! by the way I have a question... look I'm using timidity and fluidsynth directly with the terminal, but now I wanna use timidity instead of fluidsynth cuz until I see is more efficient
[15:36] <victor_tlm> but fluidsynth has an option timidity doesn't and is the oportunity to turn on and turn off channels during playing
[15:36] <victor_tlm> I think because it lets a terminal open and timidity doesn't do that
[15:36] <victor_tlm> do you know if timidity can do that too?
[15:37] <zequence> victor_tlm: No idea. I have actually very little experience in both. You could ask in #opensourcemusicians though
[15:37] <studio-user416> zequence: correct.. Pulse audio detects ut output device SB X-Fi surround 5.1 pro analog Steeo but if i play any multimedia.. it plays on in build laptop speakers instead of directing it to the sound card
[15:38] <victor_tlm> uhmmmm well zequence I'll try that
[15:38] <victor_tlm> thank you
[15:38] <victor_tlm> and studio-user416 as I told you remember pulse is working over alsa
[15:38] <zequence> studio-user416: Have you used the pulseaudio settings app? It's called "pavucontrol"
[15:38] <victor_tlm> so maybe pulse is recognizing that but alsa is configured in your default device
[15:38] <zequence> studio-user416: I'm guessing you have, of course, since what you said
[15:39] <zequence> victor_tlm: No, it's choosing default
[15:39] <zequence> studio-user416: So, one thing that is confusing about that applications is how to choose a default sound device
[15:39] <victor_tlm> I think he should check in alsamixer if is the another device selected zequence
[15:40] <zequence> studio-user416: in the tab "Outputs" or "Output devices" (I forget the exact name), click on the green button which says something with "fallback" when you hover over it
[15:40] <zequence> victor_tlm: No, he just needs to select the default audio device first
[15:41] <studio-user416> this information is from Volume control app> output devices under multimedia
[15:41] <zequence> Otherwise, he would hear no sound, instead of sound from the builtin
[15:41] <victor_tlm> uhmmm I'm not really sure zequence... maybe you are right
[15:41] <victor_tlm> but I think he should look at alsamixer just to be secure
[15:41] <zequence> victor_tlm: That comes next
[15:45] <studio-user416> cool......it works
[15:45] <studio-user416> thanks zequence
[15:45] <zequence> studio-user416: Yes, too bad the buttons are so confusing :)
[15:45] <zequence> studio-user416: If you boot the computer without the non-builtin audio device, you may need to do that again
[15:46] <zequence> It will remember it as long as it is there when pulseaudio starts (which is at login)
