[00:00] <alsainput> It shows internal microphone and microphone (unplugged) even though it's plugged.
[00:00] <alsainput> I think it's a hardware issue
[00:00] <OvenWerks> unplug and replaug
[00:00] <alsainput> Same thing
[00:00] <alsainput> I tried that
[00:00] <OvenWerks> ok
[00:00] <alsainput> Tried a different mic too
[00:01] <OvenWerks> maybe try hdajackretask
[00:01] <OvenWerks> you may be able to make it think it is plugged in
[00:02] <OvenWerks> hmm, what kind of mic are you plugging in with what kind of plug?
[00:02] <OvenWerks> The extrenal mic expects a condenser mic. a dynamic mic will not work may not be detected.
[00:03] <alsainput> it's a cannon mic to a 3.5mm adapter (which works tested) and then laptop
[00:03] <alsainput> But I found the issue
[00:03] <alsainput> If I unplug the mic from the adapter the pavu shows a mic plugged in, but once I plug in the mic it shows unplugged.
[00:04] <OvenWerks> (I have gotten a guitar to work in a computer mic jack by only inserting it to the first click on some interfaces and not others
[00:04] <alsainput> It's just this weird setup I guess.
[00:06] <OvenWerks> sounds odd all right
[00:07] <OvenWerks> I wonder how it would work if the mic was plugged in right after boot before jack is run.
[00:08] <alsainput> Leave the mic plugged in and turn on pc or turn on pc and then plug in mic?
[00:09] <OvenWerks> plug in the mic after boot but without starting jack. Se what pavucontrol says
[00:10] <alsainput> okay, I'll try that
[00:10] <OvenWerks> My Son has a XLR to computer mic plug that works with his condencer mic. I don't think it would also work with a dynamic though
[00:10] <OvenWerks> too late
[00:14] <alsainput> I'm back, mic still shows unplugged
[00:21] <alsainput> I have to go, but thank you guys for your help.
[02:06] <Crashtone[m]> So out of curiousity, Does using the Ubuntu-studio installer work on Debian based systems? or does it have to be Ubuntu? I was considering using the Ubuntu-Studio installer on Devuan, which is Debian with OpenRC as it's init system
[02:14] <OvenWerks> Crashtone[m]: There are some things that are ubuntu specific.
[02:14] <OvenWerks> There is no provision to skip packages that do not exist
[02:15] <Crashtone[m]> So it'd end up erroring out?
[02:15] <OvenWerks> I would expect so yes.
[02:15] <Crashtone[m]> Bummer
[02:16] <OvenWerks> It is actually quite sinple, it picks one or more of the ubuntustudio meta pacxkages
[02:16] <Crashtone[m]> Is there a way i can sift through the packages that comes through the ubuntu studio installer so i can just pick out the things that are ubuntu specific, and sort of paint by numbers?
[02:16] <Crashtone[m]> or would i have to basically install Devuan, and then hunt down the packages i need and go from there?
[02:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> Crashtone: Considering it only targets metapackages, that's simply not possible.
[02:17] <Eickmeyer[m]> It is only supported in Ubuntu and its official flavors for a reason.
[02:17] <Crashtone[m]> Ah, gotcha
[02:17] <OvenWerks> If you are looking audio only look at the depends in the few ubuntustudio metas
[02:18] <OvenWerks> I think they are audio core and audio
[02:18] <Crashtone[m]> the main features i'm really going for is the Low latency kernel and the audio tools
[02:18] <OvenWerks> I do not know if debian has low latency, you might try liquorix
[02:19] <Crashtone[m]> I could also try converting Ubuntu to OpenRC, that'd probably be easier
[02:20] <OvenWerks> https://liquorix.net/ has a low latency kernel that is resonably good with debian derived distros
[02:21] <Eickmeyer[m]> Crashtone: Beyond that, there's no support in this channel for what you're trying to do, so I do have to cut-off this conversation.
[02:21] <Crashtone[m]> Understandable
[02:22] <Crashtone[m]> Have a good evening
[02:27] <Eickmeyer[m]> You too. :)
[15:01] <linuxgecko> ok, so,  i have several usb audio devices, and i have a Carla layout saved, that handles when everything is plugged in. but sometimes i need to unplug some of them, and to get it to reapply correctly, i have to start a new carla layout, and then reapply the mapping file that covers everything.
[15:01] <linuxgecko> is there a way to make this happen more automagically,  ala qjackctl's patchbay?
[15:56] <Eickmeyer> linuxgecko: You'd have to talk to the developer of Carla. Usually he hangs out in #kxstudio.
