Alert! Alarm!
My beloved bride had a cool idea today. We have a Sonos audio system in our living room. It’s how we get surround sound and movie theater audio goodness. She wanted to upgrade the system. Good idea, right? She ordered a new beam and we went to Best Buy to pick it up.
After, while we were still in the parking lot, she had another great idea. Wanna go for a mini road trip somewhere? Sure! How about the ocean? Sure! Off we went.
When we got home a couple hours later, Jen heard a noise. Oh wait! You don’t know the back story. Hold on a second while I fill you in.
Back story: Our house used to have a garage. Years ago we had it remodeled into a primary bedroom suite with an attached bathroom. The outflow pipe from the bathroom was far away from the outflow for the rest of the house and we had to have a pump installed. The pump is under the floor with a little trap door to get to it. That trap door had not been opened in the 500 years since we finished the remodel. It is located in a closet and we had put a big closet organizer into the closet and part of it was sitting on the trap door.
Okay, back to the main story. When we got home from the ocean a couple of hours later, Jen heard a noise. She was standing next to the bathroom and I was on the other side of the room. I thought the noise was a bird being loud and obnoxious outside. She said no, it wasn’t a bird. I then thought it was the mini-split system’s door being squeaky. She said no, it was not the mini-split. I stood next to her so that I could hear what she was hearing and I heard it too.
There were two sounds. One as an alarm beeping like crazy. The other was the pump running more or less continuously. I went into the closet with the trap door and sure enough, the beeping was coming from there. Well, shit.
We both had a job to do from that point. Mine was to clear almost everything out of the closet (there was a lot of stuff in there) and open the trap door. Jen’s was to find a plumber. Oh yeah, it’s Independence Day. A national holiday. Almost everyone in the country had the day off (except for the poor staff at Best Buy).
I was able to get to the pump. I had to move almost an entire wardrobe and partially disassemble the organizer but I did it. Jen was able to eventually get a plumber on the phone who could not come help tonight but did offer to help talk us through shutting down the pump until they could come… on Monday. While she was giving the plummer the details I found that the alarm beep was tied to a flashing red light with a label that said to open the unit to see what was causing the alarm. Well, I wasn’t doing that. There was also a button that said push to silence alarm. I pushed it. Oh what a relief.
So the alarm was still going off but it was silent now and at the plumber’s suggestion we killed the power to the pump from the circuit box. The situation has been remedied for now. On Monday the plumber will come and tell us that we need to replace the unit which should cost $10000000000000. Would that be preferable to finding out there is a clog in the sewage pipe? I don’t know. Would it be preferable to finding out there is a leak in the sewage pipe? Probably. I mean, our house doesn’t smell like donald trump so I don’t think our en suite bathroom is shitting itself. We’ll find out on Monday though.
Eventually we were able to relax and that lead to us putting up the new Sonos system. It got a little annoying trying to link everything together in their app, but eventually it all worked and now we are watching Project Hail Mary (again) and enjoying the kick ass audio.
Tomorrow I think I am going to go into Boston really early in the morning and wander around Beacon Hill and the riverwalk along the Charles with my cameras. I’m also officially into the 50 Songs in 90 Days Challenge, so there will be music to make too.
One thing is for sure… we are not going to use the primary bedroom suite’s bathroom for a couple of days.

Periodic reminder.
Soundbars are crap, zero exceptions.
Surround sound only happens when you have speakers SURROUNDING you.
BlueTooth wireless connection is unsecure garbage, single channel, prone to hiccups in streaming.
Wires are best.
You don't need to spend a lot to have great surround sound.

Frage an Audio-Kundige: Ich habe hier eine CD, der liegt als Bonus-Disk eine DVD bei mit einem Surround-Mix des Albums. Die Beschreibung sagt: »Digipak with 5.1 audio DVD-V (Dolby Digital, DTS)«. Gibt es einen Weg bzw. eine Toolchain, diesen Surround-Mix von der DVD runter zu rippen und so umzurechnen, dass ich den über Stereokopfhörer, aber mit „räumlicher“ Auflösung hören kann? Ich denke in Richtung Ambisonic.
Habe hier Linux und macOS in Verwendung. #audio #surroundsound

Lukewarm take:
Soundbars are garbage.
(watch a goddamn dumbass come argue this, trying to twist reality that sound can come from behind you, if there are speakers only in front of you, in a single point, not even two points apart)

I wonder sometimes if I like some shows and movies better than others because I have a full surround sound system in my living room.
Current "whoa" surround mixing examples:
- Alien:Earth S1E3 - last 5 minutes.
- Sinners - that music scene -

Bluetooth is single channel shit. MCAP reduces sound quality. Hiccups in pairing mean your listening is riddled with enough breaks to cause cringe.
Any codec after Dolby TruHD and DTS-HD Master is fluff. Anything over 7 channels + subwoofer is basically marketing.
"BUY BUY BUY!!!"

Lukewarm take:
Soundbars are piss-poor excuses for surround sound systems.
NOTHING can adequately project sound from behind and around you but actual individual speakers behind and around you.
L+R speakers must be at least 6-7ft apart for you to properly distinguish sounds.
Any opinions to the contrary is either by people who have only had soundbars, or truly shitty excuses for surround sound systems.
Thanks for your time and attention.

Hope everyone has/had a good Friday.
Mine was "interresting".Dad: My Games don't run. Can you have a look?
Turned out his setup stumbled overhttps://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/4722
Some proton games just refuse to start or break in interesting ways on steam and heroic.
TUXEDO OS updated there packages to 1.4.3-1tux1 earlier this week and this bug is present.
Gonna send 'em a message on Monday if they haven't fixed it already by then (they tend to be fast)

Hoping maybe the #Fediverse hive mind has some ideas about a problem.
My old workhorse Onkyo AV receiver died a few months back, and I replaced it with a Denon AVR-S970H. And it's driving me nuts.
My #TV is old, from the final generation of plasmas. Great picture. Sound is okay, but it only understands stereo and mono in uncompressed or AC-3 formats. Anything else sent to it - different codec, or multichannel/surround - is ignored and you get no sound. But that's okay!
Most of the things I watch that have stereo sound I just want to listen to through the TV anyways - TV shows, old non-spectacle movies, documentaries, all that sort of stuff. When I have a Big Movie with a #surround soundtrack, that's when I want to listen to it through the fancy speakers and the #AVR.
With my old #Onkyo, this was easy: the receiver always played the sound through itself and also sent it to the TV. If I wanted simple stereo, I'd just mute the receiver. If it was a surround sound thing, the TV just ignored it.
The #Denon... doesn't do this. I have to configure whether to output the sound through the TV, or through the AVR. There's no option for "both".

The Blue Man Group's AUDIO album is one of my favorite multi-channel high res 192/24 audio albums that I have. The mix itself, the incredible highs, the insanely rich base. Completely independent tracks written for each speaker. It's unfortunate that 5.1 music never really caught on, though I am happy that most live concerts recorded today are in 5.1. #music #highdefinition #highresolution #SurroundSound #Surround #audio #dvdaudio #sacd

Ugh, I missed the trailer drop 2-3 days ago on YouTube and the theater near me only has seats on the sides of the first two rows.
A theater in South Miami has a perfect seat left, but that's too far to travel since I've already experienced the concert show on AppleTV with my 4K tv and 5.1 surround system.
It's awesome 👏🏿
I'd love to see this in IMAX, but that doesn't seem possible.

If I can figure out how to add Dolby Pro Logic II encoding into Godot, I would love to make a free and open source VST or small 5.1-to-DPL encoding program because the only current option is an Mac-only plugin that's like 500 of God's own fucking USD dollars. Thank you, Dolby licensing fee!

So in my quest to get Dolby Pro Logic surround sound encoding in Godot, I have stumbled upon the docs for
AudioEffectStereoEnhance. It had no documentation until now with 4.4 coming out. But it appears to go about encoding matrix surround sound the same way as Dolby Pro Logic by phase shifting the rear channels. How exactly it does this is not explained and these descriptions are still not detailed enough, but I think I might finally be nearing the end of my quest for outdated surround sound lol
I will try to test this later and will report back if I find anything useful.
