[02:27] <OvenWerks> mistaken ideas...
[02:47] <Jessedavid4> Hey is there a way to reset Studio controls? I tried to change some settings and seemed to lost audio.
[02:51] <OvenWerks> I think that feedback bit 0 needs to be set up to 5.12 (strip buttons) 6 will be separate (bit 13)
[02:52] <OvenWerks> Jessedavid4: which settings did you change?
[02:52] <OvenWerks> Jessedavid4: and lost audio from which application?
[02:53] <Jessedavid4> Well, lost audio from everything.
[02:54] <OvenWerks> Jessedavid4: start by choosing Stop Jack
[02:54] <Jessedavid4> I tried to change the Sample rate from 48 to 192. Honestly I thought my mobo has 192 support, but could be wrong. Anyways, I changed it back to 48 and have no audio anymore.
[02:54] <OvenWerks> why would anyone want 192? Pet bats?
[02:55] <Jessedavid4> Lol. Wanted to see if I noticed a difference in my music.
[02:55] <Jessedavid4> Like spotify's "high quality" streaming.
[02:55] <OvenWerks> anything higher than 48K will tend to introduce distortion in  the sound
[02:55] <OvenWerks> and noise
[02:56] <OvenWerks> anyway try stop jack in -controls and see if you have audio again
[02:56] <Jessedavid4> Yeah, but if the support is there. Ideally it should be better, no?
[02:56] <OvenWerks> no
[02:56] <OvenWerks> its called advertizing hype
[02:57] <Jessedavid4> Ooh? So where does 192 matter then? And it seems to have not fixed it.
[02:57] <OvenWerks> A good video on the subject: https://www.xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml
[02:58] <Jessedavid4> Oh wait, lol. It works on that link.
[02:58] <OvenWerks> he uses real analog scopes and signals.
[02:58] <OvenWerks> so desktop audio now works
[02:58] <Jessedavid4> Huh. That was weird. But it works again.
[02:59] <Jessedavid4> Yeah I thought I tried stop Jack to and then start/restart jack.
[03:00] <Jessedavid4> You know, come to think of it. I tried to use Spotify each time I tried to stop or reset. And I had to completely close it down for it to fix it.
[03:01] <Jessedavid4> This video actually looks super good. (picture wise)
[03:02] <OvenWerks> Monty is a codec designer for both audio and video
[03:03] <Jessedavid4> Honestly, if he wanted to. He could put youtube out of business lol
[03:03] <Jessedavid4> This is 720p on my 1080p monitor. I mean this is really really good.
[03:25] <paul_k_0123> I am using 16.04.5 and want to upgrade to the latest LTS (18.10.x). It looks like I have package problems that are hard to trace. Do logs exist?
[03:26] <paul_k_0123> I have had aptd crash on me numerous times for reasons that seem related to this, but, again, information is not in the usual places (like /var/log)
[04:12] <paul_k_0123> Output from an upgrading effort is at: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/M3GwSdzjXW/
[05:58] <JEV_> Hi, i've been using this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro
[05:59] <JEV_> I followed all the steps and guitarix is able to read my guitar input
[06:00] <JEV_> but the only thing left is my laptop doesn't produce any sound
[06:00] <JEV_> i'm currently using usb guitar cable as an input
[06:07] <Eickmeyer> JEV_: 16.04, 18.04, or 18.10?
[06:14] <JEV_> 18.10
[06:14] <Eickmeyer> Then ignore that Wiki article.
[06:14] <Eickmeyer> Use Ubuntu Studio Controls to start Jack, then any USB audio device should be automatically detected.
[06:14] <Eickmeyer> It's exponentially easier.
[06:15] <Eickmeyer> We have a lot of work to do on documentation, and that entire article can easily be replaced with a new article about Ubuntu Studio Controls.
[06:15] <JEV_> ah i see
[06:16] <JEV_> let me try it first
[06:17] <Eickmeyer> Use patchage to connect your guitar to guitarix, and then the output from guitarix to your laptop speakers.
[06:19] <JEV_> in Ubuntu Studio Controls, should i change anything?
[06:20] <Eickmeyer> Only if you want to change the master audio device or some other stuff to lower the latency. Buffers and periods per buffer can be explained best here: https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/list_of_jack_frame_period_settings_ideal_for_usb_interface
[06:21] <Eickmeyer> You're going to want 3 periods.
[06:21] <Eickmeyer> For Guitarix, read the very bottom paragraph, it's important.
[06:24] <JEV_> and about the patchage...
[06:25] <Eickmeyer> It's an app installed by default. It's buggy, so we're working on packaging a replacement.
[06:25] <Eickmeyer> Development on it has ceased.
[06:26] <JEV_> are guitarix output and my laptop speakers named PulseAudio JACK Source and system respectively?
[06:26] <Eickmeyer> No. Your laptop speakers are most likely system, and your USB-1/4" input likely has its own label.
[06:27] <Eickmeyer> PulseAudio Jack Source sends audio internally to PulseAudio, for non-JACK aware apps.
[06:40] <JEV_> in patchage, there re only gx_head_amp, gx_head_fx, system (Both capture and playback) and 2 Midi Trough
[06:42] <JEV_> I re-open everything and there are no more PulseAudio Jack Source nd Sink
[06:43] <JEV_> I'm new to linux... everything seems really hard
[06:43] <Eickmeyer> Don't worry about PulseAudio, you don't need it for guitarix.
[06:43] <Eickmeyer> gx_* is guitarix. system capture is your input, system playback is your output.
[06:44] <JEV_> yes, system playback_1 for the system playback
[06:44] <Eickmeyer> I have never used Guitarix myself, mut I can only imagine you'd connect your input to your fx and fx to your amp and then amp to system, but that's just based on my live audio engineering background.
[06:47] <JEV_> in my patchage from system -> amp -> fx -> system
[06:49] <JEV_> what are those 2 Midi Through blocks use for?
[06:49] <Eickmeyer> Those would be for MIDI controllers or keyboards or the like.
[06:49] <Eickmeyer> Safe to ignore.
[06:49] <JEV_> because 2 of them aren't connected to everything
[06:49] <JEV_> oh i see
[06:49] <Eickmeyer> You mentioned that your guitar is connected via USB?
[06:50] <JEV_> yes, usb cable... but the block is not exist since i open guitarix
[06:51] <Eickmeyer> Unplug your USB cable and plug it back in. It should show up in Patchage.
[06:51] <Eickmeyer> Of course, that's assuming you started Jack using Ubuntu Studio Controls and not elsewhere.
[06:52] <Eickmeyer> BTW, Guitarix needs to be started -after- starting Jack.
[06:56] <Jessedavid4> I read some documentation saying that using an AUX cable tends to work better than most anything for Guitarix.
[06:57] <Jessedavid4> Recommended to use a 3.5mm over a USB. Though you should still see the same results irregardless.
[06:58] <JEV_> I restart everything, unplug the usb
[06:58] <JEV_> how can I show you my patchage screenshot?
[06:58] <JEV_> there are another stange blocks appear
[06:59] <Eickmeyer> Well, you could always screencap it and send it to imgur, but I honestly need to be heading to bed, it's getting late here.
[07:00] <JEV_> okay, thank you. I'll figure it myself
[07:00] <Eickmeyer> Best thing I can tell you is to not be afraid to experiment.
[07:00] <Eickmeyer> I hope I've at least pointed you in the right direction.
[07:00] <JEV_> I think i just need a little more step, thanks for guiding me
[07:00] <Eickmeyer> You're welcome.
[07:03] <JEV_> if you're not sleeping yet... it's working!!
[19:01] <dave_> Hi - quick question I hope. I installed 14.04 and have upgraded to 16.04. I want themes but can't find out how to dertermine what my environment is - Gnome or Unity? Which environment if 16.04 please?
[19:01] <dave_> *is 16.04?
[19:03] <dave_> That's 32 bit btw
[19:05] <OvenWerks> If you have ubuntustudio it is xfce
[19:06] <OvenWerks> So neither gnome or unity
[19:07] <dave_> That works - thanks so much!
[19:07] <OvenWerks> no problem
