[13:39] hi everybody, long time user of u-studio, dist-upgraded it from 12.04 to 16.04 = pulseaudio is choppy [13:40] anyone experienced this? when opening pa-vu-control is kind of works but loop from gui to a message telling my Connection to pulseaudio... [13:41] psc: no I have not experienced that unless I have latency set very low. [13:42] psc: also there are some laptops where the internal mic is 48000 only and that causes problems [13:44] OvenWerks, latency of my real soundcard (firewire presonus jack is very low), but I also have the internal soundcard of the motherboard (which I don't care much) [13:44] psc are you bridging jack and pulse then? [13:44] OvenWerks, yes [13:45] will try to disable the motherboard's soundcard from the bios... [13:45] I find that in pavucontrol I have to turn all the alsa cards off [13:46] pulse has trouble with getting sync from jack plus any other cards [13:46] I wish I could, but the pavucontrol show only the gui for a short period of time and loops [13:46] skype will not work with jack set lower than 128/2 [13:47] (Establishing connection to PulseAudio... please wait) [13:51] ok on u-studio 12.04 my presonus firewire was not connected by pulseaudio automagically, but now it looks like PA knows how to start my presonus... [13:53] perfect disabling my onboard soundcard fixed the problem [13:55] BUT (of course more problems): how can I start jack if PA is using my soundcard? [13:55] Would be happy to only use jack (with pulseaudio bridge for chrome etc) [14:12] jack asks pulse to release the card. [14:12] what I do ... is tell pulse to not look for alsa cards... [14:13] pactl unload-module module-udev-detect [14:13] pactl unload-module module-alsa-card [14:13] then I use jack_control to setup and run jack [14:13] I have this set to run at session start [14:15] psc: I also do some other things, but that is besides the point. [14:15] OvenWerks, qjackctl crash on first load... maybe because it's not able to release the soundcard from pulseaudio... [14:15] psc: I have heard that if you are using the old firewire drivers you have to blacklist the alsa firewire drivers [14:16] OvenWerks, trying to find the right combo, right now I am able to use jack with my soundcard [14:16] psc: you can only use FW via alsa or via the the old drivers. [14:17] OvenWerks, if I disable pulseaudio configuration presonus OFF, start jack with cadence = OK but no PA bridge [14:17] psc: if you run jackd instead of jackdbus, the pa-jack bridge will not auto connect [14:18] if jackd is running, jackdbus will fail. [14:18] Oh good know! [14:18] (also if jackdbus is running jackd will fail) [14:19] qjackctl and jack_control both run jackdbus by default. [14:19] jackdbus does allow making changes in settings without stopping jack. [14:20] well I fear that my setup is a bit odd (12.04 -> 16.04)... [14:21] I do not use a fw interface (old ice1712 device in PCI) but my startup file is at http://www.ovenwerks.net/paste/autojack if it is any help [14:22] thanks! saved [14:22] psc: the only "non-odd" setup I know of is to use the internal audio junk... [14:25] psc: be warned to turn cadence auto start off to use something like what I have. [14:25] i don't want to reinstall from scratch but i have a feeling that this is what I will end up doing... [14:26] i will be painful [14:26] it [14:27] I haven't tried upgrading so I don't know. I just save my home directory and start over. [14:29] Yes, but then I will need to redo USB policy (I have custom USB hardware in my box), disable CPU governor, memory limits etc)... [14:30] psc: make a package :) [14:31] you mean .iso / .img of my whole drive and reinstall that? [14:31] seriously, memory limits should be set right from ubuntustudio install.... cpu governor is coming... [14:31] I am told that performance mode uses less power than ondemand... [14:34] thanks for all the help OvenWerks! [14:34] no problem. [14:34] I have now a setup that works: no pavucontrol, but bridge is working and I can make music [14:35] Will stick around in this channel for a few days. Thanks again! [14:35] cool, making music is the most important part [16:50] Hello, anybody there?
