| onefang | Finally got my "boot into it, play everything all at once, on all the devices" portable synth working. So any sound you play gets routed to all audio devices at the same time, after you log in. | 01:15 |
|---|---|---|
| onefang | Though it's still quite raw, needs lots of tweaking and more testing. | 01:15 |
| onefang | Using ALSA plus JACK, coz I couldn't get it to work with ALSA alone, and my use case needs JACK anyway. fsmithred wants a pure ALSA version though, still working on that. But at least I could purge pulseaudio and pipewire. | 01:16 |
| fsmithred | That must feel good. | 01:17 |
| onefang | Though my test computer has more HDMI audio devices than actual output ports, but I'm starting to expect that now. I don't have enough HDMI things with speakers to test them all at once. | 01:18 |
| onefang | I suspect the extra audio devices in HDMI is for surround sound and such, splitting the extra speakers to extra audio devices. shrugs | 01:19 |
| fsmithred | The problem I'm seeing is not limited to the live-iso. If HDMI is card0 but I'm using PCH, even the netinstall iso fails to make any sound. | 01:21 |
| onefang | Next step - copy the result to a USB stick, test on other computers. Including testing it on VMs again. | 01:21 |
| onefang | BTW, that test computer, for some odd reason the Daedulas netinstall and desktop install ISOs both crashed during startup. At the point where the console is still in 80x24 text mode, there's LOTS of errors, so never managed to track that down, the first error scrolls past too quickly. Chimaera desktop installer ISO didn't have that problem, so I installed that, then dist-upgraded to Daedulas, and tha | 01:24 |
| onefang | t boots fine. | 01:24 |
| onefang | That particular rabbit hole took waaaaay too long. So yep, feeling really good now it's working. | 01:25 |
| onefang | I will get back to trying to get a pure ALSA solution working. Eventually. But every time I mess with that I'm reminded why people keep writing new Linux audio infrastructure. | 01:29 |
| onefang | On the other hand, the bug I was wasting my time on with the ALSA VM experiments might be a bug in the only qemu audio driver with more than one device on it. Coz qemu doesn't want to run more than one at a time. I should probably mess with USB passthrough, see if I can pass through two of my spare USB audio sticks. | 01:33 |
| onefang | Today is my super desktop's birthday. I should learn to play Happy Birthday on my new portable synth. Then pull apart the super desktop for it's annual cleaning. | 01:35 |
| onefang | Super desktop decided it didn't want to wait for me to shut it down before cleaning it. Biggest disk shat itself. Back later, no idea how much later. So much for feeling good, crisis monster doesn't like that. | 04:40 |
| onefang | Just an update. So far so good after cleaning my computer and reseating the RAM and other things. Time will tell. The portable synth kiosk is mostly good to go, works as intended, and I have most of my music production software installed on it. Still some tweaking to do. I could turn it into a portable music studio with not much more effort and the equipment I have. | 11:41 |
| onefang | So now it's booting EARS version 0.0. B-) | 11:42 |
| onefang | Did that before. Was working as part of a film crew. I had an entire video editing suite in my backpack. They called me OB Van Kenobe. B-) | 11:44 |
