| StudioUser22 | Good Evening | 01:29 |
|---|---|---|
| StudioUser22 | While not a total Linux, Ubuntu noob, I am relatively new to Element and IRC. Am I in the correct venue for UbuntuStudio Support? | 01:30 |
| Eickmeyer | Yes. Can't guarantee answers at this time though. | 01:31 |
| StudioUser22 | Hey, that's ok. Thanks for responding. | 01:31 |
| Eickmeyer | !ask | 01:32 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 01:32 |
| StudioUser22 | 10-4.. gimme a sec to organize question. | 01:33 |
| StudioUser22 | # Ultra Harsh Distortion on Dell USB Soundbar | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Hardware- Dell Optiplex 7050 Mini | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Intel Core i5-7th Gen | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # 32 GB Crucial Ram | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Bus 001 Device 005: ID 413c:a503 Dell Computer Corp. AC511 Sound Bar | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # I found out that if I let distortion sound for a few minutes, it goes away. | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Temporary fix but problem soon returns | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | $ pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Here are my notes from some of the fixes I've tried from askubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com: | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Step 1 | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Tried this, did not resolve issue: | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # From article: | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | ---------------------------------------------------- | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | #I just found the answer to my problem. | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # It seem like this crackling noise when changing volume happens when the audio is resampled. So, in order to find out what is the default sample rate of my sound card: | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | pactl list short sinks | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Since it indicates that my USB sound card is 44100 I changed these values to /etc/pulseaudio/daemon.conf | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Actual change: | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Position_fix quirking | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # If this affects your HDA Intel sound card, there are two methods the driver can read the position reports. | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # You can test the two different methods by editing the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file, and add either | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # or | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # options snd-hda-intel position_fix=2 | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # After editing the file, reboot your computer for changes to take effect. | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | options snd-hda-intel position_fix=2 | 01:55 |
| StudioUser22 | # Neither fix worked | 01:55 |
| Eickmeyer | !paste | StudioUser22 | 01:58 |
| ubottu | StudioUser22: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://dpaste.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 01:58 |
| Eickmeyer | That was *not* in one line. | 01:59 |
| Eickmeyer | !guidelines | 01:59 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 01:59 |
| Eickmeyer | StudioUser22: Your question is better for the email list at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users. NEVER do multiple lines like that in a chat room. | 02:00 |
| Eickmeyer | !morehelp | StudioUser22 But if you insist on using IRC chat | 02:01 |
| ubottu | StudioUser22 But if you insist on using IRC chat: #ubuntustudio sometimes cannot answer your questions in a timely matter, or simply lacks the capacity. For additional sources of help, try #ubuntu if your issue is of a technical nature, or #lau (Linux Audio Users) or #opensourcemusicians if it has to do with the audio stack. | 02:01 |
| StudioUser22 | Never used IRC chat before in my life. I was led to Matrix/Element chatroom from https://ubuntustudio.org/support/ page. The UbuntuStudio page has some message about bridge not working which led me to this IRC channel. | 02:06 |
| Eickmeyer | That's correct, I'm the one who posted the notice. | 02:06 |
| Eickmeyer | But that doesn't mean you don't do what the !ask message said (all in one line) | 02:07 |
| Eickmeyer | Multiple lines doesn't work on IRC. | 02:07 |
| StudioUser22 | I've used UbuntuStudio for at least a few years on my laptop without issue. But on this computer, I'm going to try Linux Mint XFCE or some other distro until I end with one that works on what's really a very common soundbar. Thanks Eickmeyer | 02:10 |
| Eickmeyer | All of that just because I told you not to paste multiple lines, StudioUser22 ? | 02:10 |
