| h00k | I'm having some trouble getting monitor out sound from Ardour, i just can't get Jack to do what I expect. | 20:09 |
|---|---|---|
| h00k | I'll play with it again this evening and maybe get more information to try to help troubleshoot. | 20:11 |
| OvenWerks | h00k: to help we need to know "what you expect" and what is actually happening | 20:22 |
| h00k | OvenWerks: I expect to be able to select something in Ardour, and be able to monitor it with my speakers or headphones as audio comes in from that source (guitar, for example) | 20:24 |
| h00k | But I have zero audio out, but it's getting audio in. | 20:25 |
| h00k | Anyway, I haven't been able to get Jack to do what I think it should be already doing | 20:25 |
| OvenWerks | h00k: first thing is do you need jack or could you run ardour with alsa? | 20:26 |
| OvenWerks | Second thing are you using the same device as input and output | 20:26 |
| OvenWerks | third thing, how are you starting jack? | 20:27 |
| h00k | I don't know if I need jack. I know I used to, last time I looked at audio a number of years ago. I've tried to use both Ardour's launcher, and also manually starting jackd with jackq app. Both have the same results. | 20:28 |
| h00k | As far as the second question, I do not think so. | 20:28 |
| OvenWerks | If you try to start jack with two different devices that could be the problem | 20:28 |
| h00k | Nah, it yells at me if I try to start it twice. That one I know better. | 20:29 |
| h00k | Ardour will attach to the existing jack session if it can, or it will fire jack up on its own when I launch | 20:29 |
| OvenWerks | yes | 20:30 |
| OvenWerks | so the meter in the master channel is moving? | 20:30 |
| h00k | If it helps, I have made zero actual jack configuration changes at this point. I have tested and then reverted things. I did before, mucked a bunch of things up, and decided that wasn't a good idea. Blew away everything, started fresh. | 20:30 |
| OvenWerks | (ie you do have the mixer screen open?) | 20:30 |
| h00k | At the moment, negative. I won't be able to actually check for a bit. And no, now that I think, last time I looked, I did not see the master channel move. | 20:31 |
| h00k | Goal: have a USB capture device for my guitar that I'd like to record. Maybe I need Jack, maybe not! | 20:32 |
| OvenWerks | so probably: a) either the input or the disk button could be pressed (or unpressed) | 20:33 |
| OvenWerks | or if not that the channel is not connected to master | 20:33 |
| OvenWerks | Anyway, it would be easier if you were at your machine. I do not think the problem is jack or not | 20:35 |
| h00k | disk button, ah. I'ma have to play with that. | 20:35 |
| h00k | That's very possible. | 20:35 |
| OvenWerks | because you have signal at the channel and not at master | 20:35 |
| h00k | It seemed jack got kinda "automatic" | 20:35 |
| h00k | so I don't know if I actually have to futz with it -- it used to be way more manual (I thought). | 20:35 |
| OvenWerks | in 20.04 if it is started with ubuntustudio-controls it is | 20:36 |
| h00k | thought so | 20:36 |
| h00k | Is that the "recommended" way (for a noob) | 20:36 |
| OvenWerks | yes I thin so | 20:36 |
| h00k | Cool, I thought so. | 20:37 |
| OvenWerks | it deals with things like: I can't hear my browser, I have a USB mic and I want to use my computer speakers, etc. | 20:37 |
| h00k | Yep. I messed with my previous install and killed browser audio and couldn't get it back? | 20:37 |
| OvenWerks | The next version deals with headphones a bit better | 20:38 |
| h00k | next like post-20.04? | 20:38 |
| OvenWerks | yes | 20:38 |
| h00k | neat, because that's what I plan to use for monitoring. | 20:39 |
| OvenWerks | I am just finishing that now | 20:39 |
| OvenWerks | or rather, every time I think I am finished I think of something else to to. | 20:39 |
| OvenWerks | :P | 20:39 |
| h00k | Of course ;) | 20:43 |
| h00k | bluetooth audio device! | 20:43 |
| h00k | well, for output | 20:43 |
| OvenWerks | blue tooth is not there yet | 20:46 |
| OvenWerks | It is possible by routing through pulse | 20:46 |
| OvenWerks | but automating that is harder. | 20:46 |
| OvenWerks | I would have to keep polling pulse to see if a BT device has shown up since last time or gone away. | 20:48 |
| h00k | I remember getting neck deep in pulseaudio when it became a thing, I was routing audio over the network in my dorm room. It was neat. | 20:49 |
