[03:39] <rodanovertokyo> I'm hoping someone can help me, I'm new to linux and Ubuntu. I have been trying for a weel to get audio in and out of my deskptop both through my MAudio MTrack Pus USB interface, and through the default sound card with no luck. Although for a brief time I did have PulseAudio playing back through my USB device, I could never get recording from the mic pres to work. Now I can't even get Pulse to start. I have installed K
[03:52] <OvenWerks> umm things are cut off at "I have installed K
[03:54] <OvenWerks> What you have shown so far shouold be a "just works" kind of thng.
[04:54] <rodanovertokyo> '
[04:56] <rodanovertokyo> "i have kxstudio tools installed. using cadence, etc." yes it should just work but it doesnt. it sees my maudio but it doesnt showll the ins and out correctly, identifying them as analogue
[04:56] <rodanovertokyo> or digital etc
[04:57] <rodanovertokyo> it also does not show amy signal at the unputs when i am passing audio from my mic pres to the
[04:57] <rodanovertokyo> "default system capture" nputs
[04:58] <OvenWerks> cadence will not allow pulse to work as designed. Cadence expects jack to run all the time.
[04:58] <OvenWerks> If jack is running then only one audio device will work at a time.
[04:58] <rodanovertokyo> alsa seems to insist on defaulting to mu built in audio card even when i set the default in
[04:59] <rodanovertokyo> jack and/or pulke to my maudio
[04:59] <rodanovertokyo> *pulse
[04:59] <OvenWerks> Are you using the same device for both input and output?
[04:59] <rodanovertokyo> yes
[05:00] <OvenWerks> good
[05:00] <rodanovertokyo> also I have the jack to pulse bus enable
[05:00] <rodanovertokyo> that doesn't work?
[05:00] <OvenWerks> the pulse jack bridge works fine normally.
[05:01] <rodanovertokyo> well I think I should tart from scatch with some clear instruction on how to configure things to work
[05:02] <OvenWerks> I think you need to have your devices working before adding cadence to things
[05:02] <rodanovertokyo> ok
[05:02] <rodanovertokyo> whats my first step
[05:02] <OvenWerks> cadence can work very well but it is helpful to know what is what first and what cadence is doing
[05:02] <rodanovertokyo> cool
[05:03] <rodanovertokyo> should I do a fresh install and start clean?
[05:03] <OvenWerks> I do not know if just removing cadence will make pulse just work
[05:04] <rodanovertokyo> I dont have anything that I need to save
[05:04] <rodanovertokyo> I'm cool with booting from the usb drive and reinstalling Ubunut Sutido 18.4
[05:04] <rodanovertokyo> than maybe you could tell me what to do from there?
[05:05] <OvenWerks> I would be willing to do so... but maybe not tonight. It is getting late here.
[05:05] <rodanovertokyo> sure I'll ge t a fresh install and we could chat tomorrow after it's ready for next steps
[05:06] <OvenWerks> ok.
[14:12] <yorwos> When i want to cleanup my system i format all my partitions except /home from live-cd installation, use same username pwd and then reinstall any programs. Can i do this without experiencing problems to install 18.04 instead of my 16.04 ? Or should i do something like dist upgrade to get home sorted out for 18.04 ?
[14:13] <yorwos> and format after
[14:13] <yorwos> my inst media is ub.studio 16.04.2 (i have downloaded 16.04.4 also though)
[22:43]  * vlt is pretty sure dist-upgrade doesn’t touch /home/ at all.
[22:44] <OvenWerks> (or upgrade from one version to the next)
