[00:11] <moonfmdesire> Hi, I have a motu m2 and followed this : https://panther.kapsi.fi/posts/2020-02-02_motu_m4   but still get no audio.
[00:19] <Eickmeyer> moonfmdesire: You didn't need to do any of that. It's completely setup for you by Ubuntu Studio Controls.
[00:19] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-controls | moonfmdesire
[00:20] <Eickmeyer> You'll also need to do your routing with Carla's patchbay. That can be opened from within Controls.
[00:20] <virtuosoj[m]> Ugh feeling frustrated.  Downloaded Ardour 6.0 and ran it - window doesn't seem to be full-screenable, and it's not picking up input from my audio interface
[00:20] <Eickmeyer> virtuosoj[m]: We can't support Ardour 6.0 yet.
[00:20] <Eickmeyer> virtuosoj[m]: /join #freenode_#ardour:matrix.org
[00:23] <virtuosoj[m]> <Eickmeyer "virtuosoj: We can't support Ardo"> Eickmeyer: Thank you.  I posted there.  If I can't get some of my problems fixed I will just uninstall and re-install from ubuntu studio ppas
[00:24] <Eickmeyer> virtuosoj[m]: It's not in the PPAs yet, you'd have to get it from the Ubuntu repos.
[00:24] <moonfmdesire> Eickmeyer, There is not much in the way of options in ubuntustudiocontrols
[00:24] <moonfmdesire> Eickmeyer, Alsamixer, same story
[00:24] <Eickmeyer> moonfmdesire: That's by design. It's supposed to be simple and do the heavy lifting for you.
[00:25] <Eickmeyer> moonfmdesire: You shouldn't have to change the defaults in the /etc directory. If you do, you're on your own or need to consult whoever's instructions you followed.
[00:25] <moonfmdesire> Eickmeyer, I get no audio playback, unfortunately.
[00:25] <Eickmeyer> We're not in the habit of supporting instructions we don't give out.
[00:25]  * Eickmeyer is off to dinner
[00:25] <moonfmdesire> Eickmeyer, I changed everything back, I undid the command
[00:26] <moonfmdesire> moonfmdesire, is off to install another distro
[00:26] <moonfmdesire> What's a good distro that will support external sound cards
[00:26] <moonfmdesire> ?
[00:27] <moonfmdesire> It's not ubuntustudio, unless the card is 20+ years old
[00:40] <Eickmeyer> moonfmdesire: I use a 2018 Behringer UMC404HD with Midas preamps, so your argument holds no weight.
[00:40] <Eickmeyer> moonfmdesire: I'm a volunteer, just like everyone else. Ubuntu Studio isn't made by any company, and you got it for free.
[00:41] <Eickmeyer> That said, if you can't hear anything, then chances are it's somewhere in alsamixer/qasmixer or needs to be routed through a patchbay such as Carla.
[00:42] <Eickmeyer> Another place for help could be #opensourcemusicians or #lau (Linux Audio Users)
[00:42] <moonfmdesire> Eickmeyer, Your dinner will get cold.
[00:42] <Eickmeyer> moonfmdesire: Dinner is in my stomach.
[00:43] <Eickmeyer> And please, do not troll.
[00:43] <moonfmdesire> I came here to get this device to output audio in Ubuntu studio, you are giving me variations on the same theme: it doe snot work. So simply just say, 'it does not work'  : - )
[00:44] <Eickmeyer> No, because others have got it working. I just have no experience with that.
[00:44] <moonfmdesire> That's fine
[00:44] <Eickmeyer> But to come in here and bash Ubuntu Studio is not OK.
[00:45] <Eickmeyer> We also can't support 3rd party instructions.
[00:45] <moonfmdesire> Nor third part devices
[00:45] <moonfmdesire> Which is cool
[00:45] <Eickmeyer> That's completely up to the Linux kernel, which we do not develop.
[00:45] <moonfmdesire> Can't support everything
[00:46] <Eickmeyer> Do you have any further questions?
[00:46] <moonfmdesire> Yep, I'll just install something that does work. But I think you need more dinner. Have some chocolate too, it will make you happier.   : - )
[03:25] <IAEON> supposed to do realtime
[03:26] <IAEON> maybe it is hardwarr passthrough noy kernel
[04:40] <Eickmeyer> IAEON: Did you read the link I showed you?
