Alsa supported soundcards

by Georg Krause

Hello, i own two soundcards which are supported by alsa without any problems but are not listed in the supported devices in the wiki [1]. Question: Is it still interesting to list a device there or is it enough information if the vendor tells the device is class compliant? The last change was made 5 years ago...

Can qjackctl start netmanager?

by John Murphy

I've been having fun with NetJack2 on Linux and a Windows slave which also runs Ardour *. Just wondering if I can start 'netmanager' on the Linux end within qjackctl options. I tried adding Server Suffixes '-d net' or '-d netmanager', but I expect that shows my cluelessness. All's well if I start it in a terminal with 'jack_load netmanager'. (* I'm connecting to the Windows PC with Remmina RDC and my Cubase 8 won't run because it needs Aero theme. Ardour just works. Thanks again!) -- John. Proud to have Jackified my Windows 7 game computer ;)

St Etienne university website (LAC2017).

by Will Godfrey

Anyone else unable to reach this? I've been trying though the afternoon, but each time, after a very long delay end up with just a blank page - not even an error message :( Not seeing problems anywhere else. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

preventing pulseaudio from capturing a certain audio device

by Michael Jarosch

Hi, there! I've searched for this topic and the only thing I got were some obscure methods to keep some usb-devices from being occupied by pulseaudio... So, I thought, I'll ask the pros... Don't want to cause any fight between pro- and con-pulseaudio-users. I like pulseaudio very much on my laptop, but there are some circumstances, where I'd rather have more control about pulseaudios behaviour. I have a nice firewire device named ESI QuataFire 610, which is supported by FFADO _and_ ALSA. Problem is, when I plug in the QuataFire, pulseaudio grabs it. But this device is not made for desktop audio. After some seconds doing nothing, pulse sends it to sleep. Waking up, f.e. when the desktop makes some noise, or - whatever - some jabber-message comes in, does take some time, so, the event is really over, already, when a tail of a sample comes through the speakers... Another one: pulseaudio grabs the QuataFire with a certain samplerate I'm not supposed to change and I want to start jackd to make some recording in _another_ samperate, jackd won't start or the QuataFire gets mad or another unedifying thing happens. That sucks. Long story short: If I could tell pulseaudio not to care about the QuataFire (or any other certain device), everything would be easy to handle. Does pulseaudio has such a feature and how can I use it? (I've tried the terminal, but I haven't found it.) And if not - and some pulseaudio-dev is reading this - then put this feature on the wishlist, please! Greets! Mitsch

Re: [LAU] using Jack an interface to ecasound

[LAA] [LAD] First release of GxPlugins.lv2

by Hermann Meyer

Hi I like to announce the first release of GxPlugins.lv2 GxPlugins.lv2 is a set of mostly analogue guitar pedal simulations as LV2 plugins, simulated with the guitarix ampsim toolkit. They contain the following plugs: GxBottleRocket.lv2 - -> tube based preamp pedal GxHotBox.lv2 - -> tube based preamp pedal GxVBassPreAmp.lv2 - -> transistor based Bass preamp GxSuppaToneBender.lv2 - -> transistor based preamp GxHyperion.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxVoodoFuzz.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxSaturator.lv2 - -> saturation plugin GxVintageFuzzMaster.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxSuperFuzz.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal GxVmk2.lv2 - -> transistor based solid stage preamp GxUVox720k.lv2 - -> transistor based solid stage preamp GxSlowGear.lv2 - -> volume swell plugin GxGuvnor.lv2 - -> transistor based overdrive pedal GxToneMachine.lv2 - -> transistor based Fuzz pedal I hope they may be useful for the one or the other. Build instruction and screenshots may be found here: https://github.com/brummer10/GxPlugins.lv2 the release zip file is located here: https://github.com/brummer10/GxPlugins.lv2/releases regards hermann

Re: [LAU] using Jack an interface to ecasound

by john gibby

No problem, Edgar. I think there is a lot of good information in this thread, I wonder if it is searchable in some way because it could help others. I really appreciate all the help and all the inputs are helping me learn more things.

I thought jackdbus > was jack2... > As this has become more and more of a mystery, I have investigated a little more. reading the AVLinux user manual, particularly the section on software management, I was able to locate where the jackd packages come from, and that is in fact the kxstudio repos. once I found that out I was able to inspect the build logs for the jack package here: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/229691222/buildlog_ubuntu-xen ial-amd64.jack-audio-connection-kit_2%3A0.124.2~20151211-2~ xenial1_BUILDING.txt.gz and it turns out that it has the jackdbus patch applied. So this part of the mystery is resolved, and your system seems to be in good shape. I have to apologize for adding to confusion and leading you on the wrong track, just remember I'm not familiar with AV Linux (have looked at it several times in the past 15 years but never regularly used it...) and this 2016 version is significantly different from previous ones in that it incorporates the kxstudio repos as a core part, which i didn't realize at first. I'm really sorry for that. As for your crossover filter network, I've never tried to do such a thig in software, so I have to pass that on to more knwledgable folks...

organ stop

by tom haddington

Hello,List! This isn't directly a Linux topic, but many users on this list have experience with pipe organs. A friend of mine forwarded me this piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii3l44_xD2s The stop in question, the Vox Humana, can be heard at 1:27. Apparently, it's unique. Can anyone please tell me a little about how this one works? i hear a very early formant filter and am wondering just how this might be mechanically accomplished. Thanks! Tom
