[00:49] Yay Ultranerdery! [00:49] I wasn't coming up with a good solution on getting audio out of the windows VM. I had a PCIe USB controller that I'm doing PCIe passthough with. This would steal the Komplete Audio 6 from the host and give it to the VM for while I was doing stuff on the VM. This worked, but was annoying. Then I had an idea. I still had these sounblaster USB audio things which just happened to have spdif out. So that attached to the VM and the spdif out on that routed [00:49] into the spdif in on the KA6 and I'm golden. Now I can leave the VM running all the time. Yay! [01:39] bah, xruns are way up this way. [01:39] That sucks [01:40] oh wait, I'm prioritizing the wrong irq now [01:40] oops. :) [01:40] I had to move the KA6 off the pcie card for this to work [01:42] oh, we're back to fighting with the keyboard. bah. [01:42] I wish this motherboard had more built in usb controllers [02:54] I see I trip to microcenter in my future for another PCIe USB card [12:23] Hi Eickmeyer ! Do you have any news regarding my problem with Carla ? [14:19] testing 19.10: turn on jack & a2jmidid up and running, midi device showing up in patchage & ardour. trying to send MIDI MMC & Mclk & MTC from ardour over usb midi adapter as per usual. used to work in 19.04 but now i get "ALSA: seq_midi: MIDI output buffer overrun" in syslog [14:20] nothing recent showed up in google [14:23] oh, usb hub was the problem :( nvm [14:33] sirriffsalothp: Please do not recommend KXStudio in this channel. [14:34] !kxstudio | sirriffsalothp [14:34] sirriffsalothp: KXStudio is an Ubuntu-based operating system and a repository for Debian-based operating systems for audio production. Development is on hiatus until late-2019 as of this writing. It is not supported by Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio, and using its repo is discouraged. Support in #kxstudio. [19:12] OK [19:13] Added a USB card, so now the KA6 is on its own again [19:13] now to figure out what the hell IRQ that's on. :) [19:13] OvenWerks: I got really excited for a minute. They had a USB2 card. That plugged into the PCI slot I don't have. :( [19:14] I'm gonna say 46 [19:15] Lifes like that... there are PCI to PCIe cards... [19:15] this case is already a mess [19:15] :) [19:15] ok, 46 it is [19:15] * OvenWerks loves messy cases [19:16] Then you want pics of mine. :) [19:16] I am just installing liquorix to see how well it runs [19:16] just in case my software load is not messy enough [19:18] But I have a perfect test case, I have a session I was playing with on the current lowlatency kernel with my D66 set to 16/2... it sound like vinyl [19:21] This picture doesn't really show all the mess but it's hard to take the side off to get a better one. [19:21] https://imgur.com/a/KMWXX0l [19:27] OvenWerks: This looks correct, yes? RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="46-xhci 38-xhci snd usb i8042" [19:30] Because that doesn't seem to have set 46 [19:30] Sure. I think.Assuming 46 and 38 have no mouse on them :) [19:31] do you still have udev-rtirq installed? [19:31] Hmmm [19:32] after starting up the VM my 46-xhci in /etc/init.d/rtirq status output changed to: 45777 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/46-vfio-msi [19:32] so the old card got a new IRQ? [19:32] and so the new card has the old IRQ? [19:33] but I'm still getting crackles and xruns even at 128/3 [19:33] running Maschine in the VM with the audio routed to linux via the soundblaster -> SPDIF -> KA6 route [19:36] I'd like to say it's better, but I'm not entirely sure it is or not [19:36] but I'm also not sure udev-rtirq is doing the right irq anymore. :) [19:39] that's SOOOOO confusing about the interrupts changing, but I guess it kinda makes sense. Kinda. :) [19:43] Sounds like fun but I really have no experience with VMs or wine [19:43] shouldn't matter [19:44] Yes with PCIe cards the irq can move from boot to boot [19:44] that's just a thing that's going on [19:44] I added a new card, which makes sense the IRQs would change [19:44] but the funny thing is the new card got the old card's IRQ. :) [19:44] The virtual irqs are assigned at boot [19:45] not really, it is just first in line [19:45] yeah, new card is earlier in the pci list (assuming that's at all relevant) [19:45] The OS goes through them in the order it gets to them. It has to be based on something physical [19:46] So the audio issue is acceptable for now. I think ideally I'm going to build a cheap PC to run the NI stuff and just route the audio in like I am now. [19:47] Eickmeyer: well liquorix is maybe somewhat better than lowlatency. I need to do more testing though. I still have to be very carefull about mouse movement etc. [19:47] Ok, good to know. [19:47] That's bit us in the tail with 18.04's lowlatency kernel. [19:48] ya, this is 18.04 LL vs liq [19:49] LL is 4.15 and liq is 5.2 [19:50] OvenWerks: ok, if I stop Maschine and do audio just in linux the xruns go away so it's just the two usb cards fighting for interrupts [19:51] wonko: it may make a differenc to switch the two priorities [19:51] I know I have to have my ice11712 ahead of my AudioPCI [19:52] even if the AudioPCI is not being used [19:52] (I use it for MIDI only) [19:53] so the linux card is at rtprio 75 and the windows audio card is at rtprio 50 [19:53] which to me seems like linux audio shouldn't be the problem in this case? [19:54] I'm not really sure, I would think that the windows card should be higher than 50 so that it is higher than the mouse [19:55] but other than that [19:55] that one doesn't seem to be having issues from what I can tell. Or maybe it is. Who the hell knows. [19:57] I wonder how cheaply I can build a PC for the NI stuff [19:58] or I'll just wait till I build a new desktop and the windows VM can stay on this box. [21:01] Hi. I have 2 hard disks in my pc. I have all my files in the second disk and my ubuntustudio in the first one, but my files in the 2 disk has a padlock in the icon and I cannot open some files. in order to open I have to copy the file I want to open to my first disk and then it opens. Is there any way to remove that padlock? [21:08] I have seen something with "cd /media/slimbook" but does not exist [23:17] Hi. I am looking for a way to open my slave hard disk with permissions to write and read. I have my projects in my slave hard disk but when I open my sessions in Ardour it says that I cannot save changes and things like that with other type of files. Is there any advice you may share with me? [23:20] DirtyEar: Saw that earlier, didn't have time to help. Still not available, and I don't think you'll get much help here. Just know this isn't the only resource, for that I'd check #ubuntu or #xubuntu, because we ARE Ubuntu and we share a desktop environment with Xubuntu. Both are more than happy to help. [23:21] Eickmeyer: Thanks. I will try it.
