* OvenWerks should download one :)04:30
OvenWerksEickmeyer: /etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntustudio/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ has xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml15:29
EickmeyerOvenWerks: Okay, heading out to get my son to school. Willl check when I get back, but, tbh, I've never had a problem.15:30
OvenWerksEickmeyer: I think that device 1 or device 0 used to be the same as @DEFAULT_SINK@ but at some point that changed.15:32
OvenWerksanyway I will keep writing here... you can read when you get back ;)15:33
OvenWerksActually I won't be able to do much as I have an appointment right away.15:35
OvenWerksThe general thing is that the shortcut should run: pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -115:37
OvenWerksand pactl 15:37
OvenWerksand: pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +115:38
OvenWerksif you use settings->keyboard->application shortcuts  to set it, then you should find the line to add to the above file in /etc in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/15:40
OvenWerksgotta go.15:40
EickmeyerOvenWerks: When you get back, it appears that we don't have anything in the keyboard shortcuts that's not different from the default keyboard shortcuts in xfce, and my settings in ~/.config/... don't show any different, so we already have the shortcuts set properly.15:52
EickmeyerOvenWerks: By the way, if that Chris guy refuses to take our support advice, I might eject him from the room because 1) what's the point of being in a support room if you're not going to take it, and 2) we don't want him spreading bad advice.16:03
OvenWerksEickmeyer: he can apt remove ubuntustudio-controls...16:18
EickmeyerHe did.16:18
EickmeyerBut, I'd rather he fix the problem or find the bug than take such a drastic view. He didn't understand that -controls doesn't display the exact state of the audio configuration. He was assuming that since the box was checked that Jack was still running..16:19
EickmeyerWithout checking anything else, such as qjackctl which would show if it was still running.16:20
OvenWerksEickmeyer: it was obvious to me that he has no understanding of low latency audio.16:26
EickmeyerAnd that's one reason why I'm worried he'll give bad advice.16:26
OvenWerksEickmeyer: anyway, as part of the next my next work on -controls I will remove the checkbox for start jack at session start. and replace it with a jack is running LED or indicator.16:27
EickmeyerOvenWerks: That's a great idea. No rush on that, but I think 19.10 would be a good target.16:28
OvenWerksHe said he has "low latency" hw... and so doewsn't need jack ??!16:28
EickmeyerOvenWerks: Yeah. smh16:28
OvenWerksNot only that, he has a USB device, so not that low latency.16:29
EickmeyerNot without Jack.16:29
EickmeyerMaybe ASIO or CoreAudio works with it better, but that applies to anything compared to Pulse.16:30
OvenWerkseven with jack, USB is minimum 1ms one way just to run and twice that for no xruns if everything is set right16:30
EickmeyerRight. Low latency, not no latency.16:30
OvenWerkswindows is worse, CoreAudio better out of the box16:31
OvenWerksWindows hides things... they just have a latecny slider... if you get clicks try higher latency settings.16:31
EickmeyerAre you talking about ASIO4All or just in general?16:32
OvenWerksThe mac hardware is (well used to be) better because they are much more careful about not tying all the USB ports together inside16:33
EickmeyerYeah, with Macs that went bye-bye as soon as they went to one single USB-C connector for everything. :P16:33
OvenWerksjust windows in general... the set of tweaks for windows to get good low latency opperation are not easy user settings... definately not and out of the box deal.16:34
OvenWerksit went bye bye when Jobs did.16:34
EickmeyerYes. When Jobs went, that was it for Apple imho.16:35
OvenWerksI could not find any lines in the kb shortcuts with a pactl line. I think we need to add one for vol controls.16:36
OvenWerksanyway I won't be able to look at it till the next time my wife goes to work at the earliest. (so not today)16:37
EickmeyerNo hurry.16:38
OvenWerksSo two things for sure in -controls periods and jack indicator.16:41
OvenWerksActually three, -controls startup should remove PA config added by Cadence and remove the Cadence autostart file.16:42
OvenWerksThen it would not matter if Cadence is also installed. (may have to stop the autostarted Cadence as well)16:43
EickmeyerYep.16:52
EickmeyerI have to fix some stuff in Carla as well, in terms of packaging. It's still hanging-out in the new queue.16:53
