OvenWerksEickmeyer[kde]1: for reference, I think alsainput on the support channel was the person who gave us the "is input only" button for auto add USB.01:01
Eickmeyer[m]Probably. They seem to be describing the same problem.01:01
OvenWerksthe noise when using controls is what I remember01:02
Eickmeyer[m]Yep, something nobody else has ever experienced, which tells me it's 100% a hardware issue on his end.01:03
OvenWerks At least the current problem is their HW. My guess is still dynamic mic in a made for condenser input.01:03
OvenWerksAll the "profesional recording mics" that look like large diaphram Mics for about $30-ish come with an xlr to computer jack.01:05
OvenWerksthose cables don't work with dynamic mics I would guess and because the 5v ends up with no load... unplugged01:07
Eickmeyer[m]I have an XLR-USB cable that works OK, but it's nice to have an analog gain for the dynamic mics.02:22
Eickmeyer[m]The XLR-USB doesn't work for condenser.02:22
OvenWerksEickmeyer[kde]1: do you know if amixer is a part of alsa-tools?16:24
Eickmeyer[m]It should be.16:24
Eickmeyer[m]!info alsamixer16:25
ubottuPackage alsamixer does not exist in disco16:25
Eickmeyer[m]!info alsamixer focal16:25
ubottuPackage alsamixer does not exist in focal16:25
Eickmeyer[m]Must be.16:25
Eickmeyer[m]I mean, must be part of alsa-tools.16:25
OvenWerksno, it seems to be a part alsa base16:25
Eickmeyer[m]Ohhhhh. Ok.16:26
OvenWerkslooking at installed files in alsatools16:26
OvenWerksThere are two packages alsa-tools and alsa-tools-gui16:28
OvenWerksit is in alsa-utils16:30
OvenWerksok.16:30
OvenWerksEickmeyer[kde]1: i don't know if alsa-utils was a -controls dep (it should be)16:31
Eickmeyer[m]We can add it.16:31
OvenWerkshowever, one of the uses of amixer in controls I am switching to use hdajacksensetest16:31
OvenWerkswhich is in alsatools16:32
OvenWerks*alsa-tools16:32
OvenWerksI think that will provide a better, simpler and less error pron method of detecting headphone plug events. (and maybe speaker events on some laptops)16:33
OvenWerksEickmeyer[kde]1: I am wrong, I only use amixer in the one place, so adding alsa-util is not needed (won't be needed) but alsa-tools will be. I will add this in the changelog16:35
Eickmeyer[m]Ok, sounds good.16:35
