[00:03] <AppAraat[m]> RE: Ubuntu Studio + KDE
[00:03] <AppAraat[m]> Have you checked out the NX Desktop, which is built on top of Plasma 5? https://nx-desktop.org/ - looks pretty slick.
[00:06] <Eickmeyer> 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] <AppAraat[m]> yeah make sense, diverging too far from the tree becomes cumbersome at some point.
[00:07] <Eickmeyer> We don't diverge from the tree at all. Ubuntu Studio is 100% Ubuntu. Nothing more, nothing less.
[00:37] <linuxgecko> Eickmeyer: unless it changed in the upgrade from eoan to focal, yes it is.
[00:38] <Eickmeyer> linuxgecko: I don't follow.
[03:59] <twoinoneinput> 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] <OvenWerks> maybe try hdajackretask?
[04:01] <OvenWerks> or you may be able to just use alsamixer to turn up the speakers
[04:01] <OvenWerks> it depends on your hw motherboard
[04:03] <twoinoneinput> 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] <twoinoneinput> 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] <OvenWerks> not if jack has control of that device.
[04:10] <OvenWerks> you could use the jack dummy nack end and then bridge jack to pulse and use that as your output ...
[04:10] <OvenWerks> *Backend
[04:12] <twoinoneinput> Oof I'll have to check that too, not sure how to do it
[04:13] <OvenWerks> I would have to read up on it too.
[04:15] <twoinoneinput> 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] <OvenWerks> There are also small USB dongles with an extra input.
[04:16] <twoinoneinput> I wanted to try using headphone with bluetooth but I guess latency is going to be a problem
[04:16] <OvenWerks> they are the same size as a USB memory stick
[04:16] <twoinoneinput> I'll check those too
[04:17] <OvenWerks> I have found them for as low as about $5 with delivery a year ago.
[04:18] <twoinoneinput> 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] <OvenWerks> audio sink just means a place for audio to go to. I think it is pulse speak
[04:20] <OvenWerks> jack does not use that term
[04:20] <OvenWerks> jack calls them playback
[04:25] <twoinoneinput> Ohh I see
[04:27] <twoinoneinput> 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] <OvenWerks> to send a pulse source (input) direct to a pulse output/sink use pacmd load-module module-loopback
[04:28] <OvenWerks> the only way to set up bluetooth with jack is through pulse.
[04:29] <OvenWerks> using the above command with the right parameters you need at least to add some latency (latency_msec=5 worked for me)
[04:29] <OvenWerks> I used the command: pacmd load-module module-loopback latency_msec=5
[04:30] <twoinoneinput> Okay, I'm a noob, I just run that command or do I need to set somthing up first?
[04:30] <OvenWerks> Then I used pavucontrol to hook a jackpulse bridge as an input and bluetooth speakers as the output
[04:31] <OvenWerks> But looking at the module-loopback parameters it seems you can specify that in the command line
[04:31] <OvenWerks> I id not get that far :)
[04:31] <OvenWerks> I ony did it once so I am not sure exactly how I did it.
[04:32] <OvenWerks> I was using ubuntustudio-controls to start jack and add pulse-jack bridges
[04:32] <OvenWerks> (-controls also allows adding a second audio device to jack as well BTW)
[04:33] <OvenWerks> 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] <OvenWerks> I don't have a BT speaker, I had to borrow one to try it out.
[04:35] <twoinoneinput>  Oh man, that's too much for I think lol
[04:35] <twoinoneinput> I guess I'll have to wait for my splitter
[06:51] <RadioArtern> good morning together..
[06:53] <RadioArtern> 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] <RadioArtern> Ubuntu Studio 18.04 32 Bit
[06:56] <RadioArtern> 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
