[04:42] <CheetahPixie> Morning, folks.
[04:42] <CheetahPixie> I'm having a few issues with Jack.
[04:42] <CheetahPixie> Namely, I can turn it on, but it never produces audio, and claims that the transport is stopped.
[05:02]  * Eickmeyer throws stuff
[05:02] <Eickmeyer> Can't seem to catch them no matter where they're crossposting.
[12:22] <CheetahPixie> Still having Jack issues.
[12:23] <CheetahPixie> Figured *mostly* everything out, except why my microphone's quality is garbage and that I have no idea what to do since apparently I should not be using alsa_in for this job.
[17:29] <Eickmeyer> CheetahPixie: I have a few things you seem to need to fix your audio problems. We don't exactly support using qjackctl for what you're doing. Furthermore, we can automatically tweak your system for better latency.
[17:29] <Eickmeyer> You need to install this:
[17:29] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-installer | CheetahPixie
[17:30] <Eickmeyer> That will install...
[17:30] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-controls
[17:30] <Eickmeyer> But, run Ubuntu Studio Installer and install the performance tweaks.
[17:32] <Eickmeyer> Also install Carla so that you can put an equalizer and/or compressor on it to improve its quality. You can also use Carla to patch your audio devices. Really easy to use.
[17:33] <Eickmeyer> And while I realize you're using Kubuntu and not Ubuntu Studio, this will keep you on Kubuntu but give you Ubuntu Studio's tools and benefits.
[17:33] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-backpoorts | CheetahPixie: If you're on 18.04, make sure you also have this
[17:33] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-backports | CheetahPixie: If you're on 18.04, make sure you also have this
[17:34] <Eickmeyer> I also recommend lsp-plugins since that will give you plenty of audio plugins to get you going.
