[00:03] RE: Ubuntu Studio + KDE [00:03] Have you checked out the NX Desktop, which is built on top of Plasma 5? https://nx-desktop.org/ - looks pretty slick. [00:06] AppAraat: That's a cusomization layer on top of Plasma. It's not in the repos. We don't want to maintain anything additional, that makes a lot more work for the team than it's worth. [00:07] * OvenWerks notes that the studio version of plasma already looks different than kubuntu [00:07] yeah make sense, diverging too far from the tree becomes cumbersome at some point. [00:07] We don't diverge from the tree at all. Ubuntu Studio is 100% Ubuntu. Nothing more, nothing less. [00:37] Eickmeyer: unless it changed in the upgrade from eoan to focal, yes it is. [00:38] linuxgecko: I don't follow. === Eickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer[m] === E_Eickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer === Eickmeyer-[m] is now known as Eickmeyer[kde] [03:59] Hi! I have a laptop that has a 2 in 1 input/output, I plug a microphone where I plug headphones. I was wondering if there's a way I can plug a microphone and still, somehow, have audio coming from the speakers? Maybe routing or using a script or something. [04:01] maybe try hdajackretask? [04:01] or you may be able to just use alsamixer to turn up the speakers [04:01] it depends on your hw motherboard [04:03] I tried alsamixer and I *can* select the speakers but it says unavailable and sound won't come out from them. I'll check hdajackretask [04:09] I found a way to do this with PulseAudio, haven't tested it yet, but that wouldn't work if I have jack running, right? [04:09] not if jack has control of that device. [04:10] you could use the jack dummy nack end and then bridge jack to pulse and use that as your output ... [04:10] *Backend [04:12] Oof I'll have to check that too, not sure how to do it [04:13] I would have to read up on it too. [04:15] Mmm... actually, I think it's still not going to work, the mic will pick up the audio from my speakers. I'll have to get a splitter. [04:16] There are also small USB dongles with an extra input. [04:16] I wanted to try using headphone with bluetooth but I guess latency is going to be a problem [04:16] they are the same size as a USB memory stick [04:16] I'll check those too [04:17] I have found them for as low as about $5 with delivery a year ago. [04:18] One unrelated question, what does audio sink actually mean? When I first paired my bluetooth headphones I got the option to set it as headset and audio sink. [04:20] audio sink just means a place for audio to go to. I think it is pulse speak [04:20] jack does not use that term [04:20] jack calls them playback [04:25] Ohh I see [04:27] Is it possible to have jack send the output to my bluetooth headset? I know latency is going to be an issue, I just wanna test it. [04:27] to send a pulse source (input) direct to a pulse output/sink use pacmd load-module module-loopback [04:28] the only way to set up bluetooth with jack is through pulse. [04:29] using the above command with the right parameters you need at least to add some latency (latency_msec=5 worked for me) [04:29] I used the command: pacmd load-module module-loopback latency_msec=5 [04:30] Okay, I'm a noob, I just run that command or do I need to set somthing up first? [04:30] Then I used pavucontrol to hook a jackpulse bridge as an input and bluetooth speakers as the output [04:31] But looking at the module-loopback parameters it seems you can specify that in the command line [04:31] I id not get that far :) [04:31] I ony did it once so I am not sure exactly how I did it. [04:32] I was using ubuntustudio-controls to start jack and add pulse-jack bridges [04:32] (-controls also allows adding a second audio device to jack as well BTW) [04:33] Then I ran the command above and as I said played with pavucontrol till I got the sound I wanted out of the BT speaker [04:34] I don't have a BT speaker, I had to borrow one to try it out. [04:35] Oh man, that's too much for I think lol [04:35] I guess I'll have to wait for my splitter [06:51] good morning together.. [06:53] is there someone who has the idea why in Ubuntu Studio the cache fills up by itself or the temp directory fills up faster than the hard disk becomes free ..: D Is this problem known? [06:53] Ubuntu Studio 18.04 32 Bit [06:56] we are a non-profit association with a radio station and use UbuntuStudio for transmission with mpd or client.and for cutting .. and also with Mixxx [07:05] good morning [07:05] is there someone who has the idea why in Ubuntu Studio the cache fills up by itself or the temp directory fills up faster than the hard disk becomes free ..: D Is this problem known?Ubuntu Studio 18.04 32 Bit
