  1. OSS alsa fun

    I typed in alsamixer -c2because one of my audio interfaces suddenly had only output on one of the two channels.

    As a rule, in Linux and any other Open Source OS, you don't reboot like a moronic end user, to fix a problem:

    • troubleshoot the problem
    • Isolate the problem
    • when hardware relation is established
    • check which kernel module needs to be flused
    • rmmod mod_name
    • insmod mod_name
    • read the man-page for the kernel_mod

    I executed the above steps (stepping over the kernel mod slush) and came in the alsamixer to see that there finally is a massive update to the alsamixer for this interface

    What I needed to do is pull one fader up in the mixer and get the audio balance again. As a bonus I can now balance the output of the device in alsamixer, instead of on the rack-mount instrument mixer in my effects rack.

    sources:

    man alsamixer
    man rmmod
    man insmod

  3. Habe gestern per Bluetooth-Kopfhörer mehrfach an der Lautstärke rumgestellt

    Heute dann die alten Overears wieder an Klinke angesteckt und #uBUNTu auf'm Arbeitsrechner hat wieder alle Pegel so weit verhauen dass man es mit #pavucontrol nicht repariert bekommt

    Ich muss 2024 noch wild mit #alsamixer rumstellen um mein Audio verwenden zu können.

    Erklär das mal einer Oma der ich nen #Linux-Rechner in die Hand drücken würde!

    Einfach nur kaputt!

    #audio #Linux #Pulseaudio

  5. My #Ubuntu box (#MiniForum TH50, 11th gen #Intel i5) loses the ability to play #sound after some updates.

    I try all the normal stuff; kick #pulseaudio in the nuts, fiddle with #alsamixer, etc, but nothing works.

    #Linux sees the integrated sound output, thinks it's working, but no sound is coming out, until one day it just magically starts working again.

    Not complaining, just noting.

  7. Strange dream. I saw someone type a three letter command and it was a replacement for alsamixer, but with cool graphics (like fasttracker 2 in DOS) and "sliders for everything" (I remember this phrase). Great urgency to remember those three letters, I HAVE TO install this now, so I can always fix my mic issues during a conference, I was thinking.

    Didn't remember.
    Also, don't have mic issues.

    #alsamixer #pipewire

  8. How can I set up a user-local volume gain value using pure ALSA?
    (no pulseaudio, pipewire, etc)

    Possibly it's something to do with creating a pcm sink or changing the default one in .asoundrc.
    I've tried this without success:

    pcm.!default {
    type route
    slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
    }
    route_policy "duplicate"
    ttable {
    0 { 0 { 0.5 } }
    }
    }

    The error is: (conf.c) _toplevel_:11:0:Unexpected char

  9. "BUGS
    Some terminal emulators (e.g. nxterm) may not work quite right with ncurses, but that's their own damn fault. Plain old xterm seems to be fine."
    From the #alsamixer #manpage
    Wohoooo, shots fired 😅

  10. Im Jahr 2021 muss ich noch immer #Alsamixer starten, weil diese Klickibuntu-Software sonst bestimmte Audio-Ausgabegeräte nie als verfügbar anzeigt.

    Linux-Audio hat sich die letzten 15 Jahre genau Null verbessert.
