| OerHeks | .. set correct country for dvd creations?? you mean dvd region 1-2-3-4-5 ? | 00:24 |
| hmc_VA | Yes OerHeks After some software updates I make a DVD and burn it to a reusable DVD and it will give me an error on my DVD player "unable to play out of area restrictions" | 00:47 |
| OerHeks | maybe the player region is set, unlock it to region 5, all regions would be able to play that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Setting_DVD_Region_Codes | 00:57 |
| hmc_VA | I should addd/// I get the error message on an external DVD player attached to my TV, not the player in my computer | 01:08 |
| OerHeks | some vendors give updates to stand-alone dvd players too | 01:09 |
| hmc_VA | here is the interesting thing. Another upstate will change things and everything is ok. I just installed the latest Studio Ubuntu and the problen occurs. I put my old drive back in the computer and it creates a very playable DVD again from the same video material. the problem is in the program that creates the DVD | 01:25 |
| hmc_VA | update | 01:25 |
| jubo2 | On support channels no traffic is a good thing | 10:47 |
| jubo2 | Ubuntu Studio is very nice for my needs and excellent value for money. Thanks to the people who make the free Ubuntu Studio and free support happen | 10:49 |
| jubo2 | I think I'm going to get some mono-jack-to-usb AD-coverters built into a cable | 10:49 |
| jubo2 | I tried conffin 2 USB microphones to left and right channel in Windows 10 for my friend. Managed only to get a mixer that can hear both channels but will output to other software only mixed to stereo | 10:51 |
| jubo2 | Windows is awful whereas in the jack patchbay it should not be a problem to add microphones and instruments | 10:52 |
| jubo2 | I have not asked my friend over to test if both USB condenser mic where the AD-converter has been brought close to the physical instrumentation to sense sounds show up in Jack as expected. Yeah... instrument-to-USB cables (with the AD-converter in it). I gonna give one as gift to friend | 10:58 |
| jubo2 | Best route to broken USB-ports and/or dropped machines P-; | 11:02 |
| jubo2 | One can secure the cable so that it will not yank the computer | 11:03 |
| mobijubo | Hi. I'm experiencing a situation where volume control button does not affect whether there is sound coming or not from jack. Youtube and such media follow the volume control. This is no biggie and no emergency as I got a primary computer and then another one for minor recording when a friend pops by and wants to record | 13:30 |
| studiobot | <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> Have you tried using Cadence? | 13:37 |
| Eickmeyer | @SomeIrrelevantPerson0000: We strongly discourage the use of Cadence here for reasons stated by OvenWerks above. We do not support that here at all. | 14:41 |
| Eickmeyer | mobijubo: That's a known bug, fixed in 19.10 (in RC currently). | 14:41 |
| Eickmeyer | mobijubo: It's in the release notes, as well as the work-around for 19.04 and prior. | 14:42 |
| studiobot | <SomeIrrelevantPerson0000> @Eickmeyer [<Eickmeyer> @SomeIrrelevantPerson0000: We strongly discourage the use of Cadence …], Understood | 14:42 |
| mobijubo | Ok, thanks for info Eickmeyer. My setup is a Kubuntu 18.04 with the installer ran from backports repo | 14:42 |
| mobijubo | I ran the backports installer before October, what should I do? | 14:43 |
| Eickmeyer | mobijubo: If it's Kubuntu, you might want to talk to the Kubuntu folks about that then. The release notes pertain to the default Xfce version of Ubuntu Studio only. | 14:44 |
| Eickmeyer | mobijubo: One more question: | 14:44 |
| mobijubo | But the jack audio was installed by the Ubuntu Studio installer (I think) | 14:44 |
| Eickmeyer | mobijubo: is Jack currently running, and if so, do you have a PulseAudio bridge running? | 14:45 |
| mobijubo | yes and yes | 14:45 |
| Eickmeyer | mobijubo: And is your pulseaudio bridge routed to your main audio? | 14:45 |
| mobijubo | yes | 14:45 |
| Eickmeyer | mobijubo: Then open qasmixer and check to see if the volume is up on alsa. | 14:45 |
| OvenWerks | mobijubo: there is no volume control for jack unless you add one in front of the output. Jack is a router. | 14:46 |
| OvenWerks | mobijubo: what this means is that applications like firefox, that use pulse will use the pulse volume control, but applications that use jack directly will not be affected by any change to the desktop level. | 14:48 |
| mobijubo | butbutbut.... jack used to follow the same volume control as pulse | 14:49 |
| OvenWerks | That is possible _if_ pulse is aware of the device before jack is started it may still change the alsa level control. My personal opinion is that keeping pulse from playing with alsa levels is a good thing... in particular with input levels. | 14:51 |
| Eickmeyer | mobijubo: Once Jack is activated, pulse basically becomes a virtual audio device, so anything that uses pulse has its volume controlled independently of anything that uses Jack. Master volume is controlled at that point with alsa, using alsamixer or qasmixer. | 14:52 |
| OvenWerks | mobijubo: it is possible to set keyboard short cuts for volume up and volume down that control alsa instaed of pulse. | 14:55 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: this sounds like a setup option for controls :P | 14:55 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: Yeah.... needs to remain DE independed though. | 14:56 |
| OvenWerks | mobijubo: because Studio is made for (semi)pro audio appliactions and expects to use external audio devices, most people find that the device has no volume controls but rather relies on physical knobs | 14:57 |
| OvenWerks | Jack also is not designed to play with physical levels. With most audio devices, there is a setting that works best (in particular for inputs but outputs as well) for the audio chain being used. Letting pulse play with those levels after carefully setting them up is really anoying. | 15:00 |
| OvenWerks | mobijubo: you might try volti as it does support multimedia keys | 15:15 |
| wonko | Does anyone know if someone makes a 3.5mm with microphone to 3x 1/4" TRS cable? If so, what are they called? I'm failing at Google. | 16:13 |
| veremitz | 3-pole (TRS) 1/4" ? otherwise, exactly that.. >,< | 16:22 |
| veremitz | the syntax and auto-assume filters tend to screw that up | 16:22 |
| wonko | Not 3pole 1/4. 3pole 3.5mm to 3x single pole 1/4" | 16:28 |
| wonko | But that term may help | 16:28 |
| wonko | I might just be better off making one | 16:30 |
| OvenWerks | wonko: be aware that computer plugs for mic have power on them. They are not ballanced for sure. | 16:36 |
| wonko | I'm not expecting balanced. I'm not that unrealistic. :-D | 16:37 |
| OvenWerks | I have found that (on my small collection of devices here) putting a TS all the way in (shorts the 5v) gives no sound. Putting it part way so that the tip hits the 5v works well in some cases but sounds really bad in others | 16:39 |
| OvenWerks | In some devices the tip and ring are basically joined and in others not. | 16:40 |
| OvenWerks | (they shouldn't be I think) | 16:40 |
| OvenWerks | I need to make an adapter because I am using this for guitar in. SO blocking cap and voltage divider... the voltage divider is because the input impedence is too low. | 16:42 |
| veremitz | wonko: sounds unusual | 16:50 |
| veremitz | I'd probably make one | 16:51 |
| wonko | If I can find my 3.5mm stereo/mic breakout cable I can ghetto one up with the 3.5mm stereo to 1/4" I have to see if it works. If so I'll just solder up a proper cable. | 17:16 |
| inahd | hey all, i tried installing the ubuntustudio-audio metapackage in linux mint, but it doesn't seem to want to install any audio software!? | 18:32 |
| studiobot | kornhelius was removed by: kornhelius | 18:33 |
| M_aD | inahd: not sure if it will actually work, though Mint is based on Ubuntu it isn't Ubuntu | 18:36 |
| M_aD | and i guess it's better to ask in the mint help channel on the spotchat server | 18:37 |
| M_aD | mint isn't supported here | 18:37 |
| Eickmeyer | inahd: Only official flavors are supported. Sorry! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 20:23 |
| Eickmeyer | !mint | inahd | 20:24 |
| ubottu | inahd: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) | 20:24 |
| inahd | ah, that makes a certain kind of sense... i thought ubuntustudio was being maintained as a separate sort of standalone metapackage for multiple distros | 20:38 |
| inahd | as well as it's own distro | 20:38 |
| studiobot | <Eickmeyer> Nope, just Ubuntu. | 20:38 |
