BrianHechinger[mEickmeyer @Eickmeyer:libera.chat: ugh, i give up. This is a mess. Running that stuff you tell me to results in an empty grub menu. Now boot-repair fixes it but it kernel panics. I'm just doing a fresh install. 😭11:26
BrianHechinger[mOvenWerks: Where does studio-controls save its config?13:21
BrianHechinger[mnever mind, I found it13:30
OvenWerksBrianHechinger[m: the autojack config file gets rewritten every time a device change is detected as well as at startup.15:33
OvenWerksThis is aside from when the user makes changes :)15:33
BrianHechinger[mI was asking because my pulse bridges were all gone.16:38
BrianHechinger[mthought maybe that wasn't saved in my home dir (which made no sense, but just checking)16:39
OvenWerksBrianHechinger[m: why version of studio-controls? try 2.3.517:03
BrianHechinger[m2.3.1 is what's installed but I haven't enabled backports yet17:05
BrianHechinger[mI don't think17:05
OvenWerksBrianHechinger[m: I have "toyed" with the idea of splitting the config and the device data into two files. I have not done so because some of the data in the device section is user settable17:06
OvenWerksAt this very moment I have just thought that it would still be ok to have some parts of the device data in config and other variable parts in a second file. More thought required :)17:07
OvenWerksThe whole problem is with things like USB microphones which are often the exact same device.17:09
OvenWerksAnd, even though the USB 2 spec does include a device serial number, very few audio device manufactures have a serial number other 017:10
OvenWerksEven devices made by more than one manufacture often have the same device name ( "Device" is quite popular) so I have to look for the ID (manufacture, model) and the physical usb port it is plugged into.17:12
OvenWerksSo what might be Device at one boot, might be Device_1 at next. I take them all and call them USB1, USB2, etc. on the user side. where USB1 always has the same model and usb port.17:14
OvenWerksso if the user plugs it into a different usb port we see it as a different device :)17:15
OvenWerksBut if someone does pod casts with three mics, they can label the ports on their computer and know what they will be when they mix.17:19
BrianHechinger[mThat's so annoying. It's too bad they never had a settable field as part of the standard.18:21
OvenWerksBrianHechinger[m: when the cost of the USB device is $5 asking for much of anything more than sound out is already a stretch. A lot of USB mics are the same price as the same non-usb mic...23:17
