pipewire problem - sounds like a bitcrusher (sometimes)

by nik＠parkellipsen.de

Hi, I've recently (not quite sure when it started) had trouble with Pipewire. In my setup, I use all the drop-in replacements for JACK, pulseaudio, alsa, etc. The problem is that sometimes, after a while, everything starts to sound like it has a bitcrusher/downsampling effect applied. A typical path to the problem would be: 1 - start a browser tab that plays audio, pause the audio (everything sounds as expected) 2 - then start a youtube video in another tab while leaving the original tab open 3 - close the second tab 4 - go back to the first one and continue playback (everyhing sounds like there's a downsampling effect applied). I usually have to restart the browser. But it's not only happening with browser applications. Muting and un-muting channels repeatedly in Ardour can create the same problem. I've observed this on two laptops, both running up-to-date Arch Linux with latest Pipewire, usually with the internal sound card. Does anyone have a hint on how to solve this? Best, Niklas

Yoshimi 2.3.0.3

by Will Godfrey

Yet another bugfix release {sigh} This was an extremely obscure PadSynth crash. To the best of my knowledge nobody has hit it yet - it showed up in testing. There was also a less important issue, where some compositing window managers didn't recognise all of Yoshimi's windows as part of Yoshimi. I'm reminded of this! Ten little bugs hiding in the code, Ten little bugs hiding in the code. So you fix a little bug, and compile it all again. There's eleven little bugs hiding in the code. On the brighter side there is a small new feature. If you have the virtual keyboard visible, then selecting an instrument with the mouse from a bank will pass keyboard focus back to the virtual keyboard. This means you can quickly try out different sounds without any other connection. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

[OT] Portable MP3/mediaplayer (with speech?)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, my old Rockbox enabled MP3-player just broke and I'm looking for a replacement. There are some requirements which make it challenging to find a proper alternative. I need soomething that will be recognised as a simple mass storage USB device, i.e. can be mounted on Linux. I need playback by folder structure, i.e. sorting by folder- and filename. Furthermore some kind of simplistic speech output would be really helpful, since I can't see. Furthermore bookmarks and a proper resume function are required. I used to have a Sandisk Sansa Clip+, which was supported by Rockbox. This player has been discontinued for years. Some players occasionally come up for sale, but I suspect that their life span will be rather limited. What do the joggers or audiobook fans amongst you use? Sorry for the OT, but here, at least, I can guarantee that the device can be adminstered from the right OS. Best wishes and thanks for any tips, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c 'Cause I don't have to feel the heat of the sun To know it's shining on me every day <3 (Britney Spears)

KVR cafe contest at risk

by Will Godfrey

This month we only have 6 entries, and the closing date is the 27th. The guy organising this nearly threw in the towel a few months ago due to low numbers, and he gives up now it's very unlikely it will ever restart. So if you have anything at all up to 3 minutes long that can be remotely described as relating to a colour (or two) please submit it ASAP. This fun contest has run since (at least) the early 2000s and it'd be a crying shame if it ends. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Any way to exclude devices from a2jmidid?

by Sirjohndfox

Gday, I'm experimenting using a Universal Mackie Controller with Reaper. The reaper extension needs unfettered access to the controllers midi ports so conflicts with a2jmidid. However all my other midi devices need the bridge running. Is there perhaps a way to configure a2jmidid to exclude a certain device, or I am I stuck with unloading and reloading the bridge?

KVR music cafe contest

by Will Godfrey

The current theme is choose a colour. Well I picked two :) https://archive.org/download/BitsAndPieces/2307_folderol_White_Sands_Blue_W… I'm pretty sure I am the *only* person submitting tracks developed on Linux. The contest needs more people joining in and definitely more Linux folk. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Can't set CPU freuqency

by Will Godfrey

I've been gifted an ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) G750JX laptop but am having a problem with it. It seem to ignore: sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -r -g performance and instead always runs in ondemand mode. It has a base speed of supposedly 2.4G, but actually runs at 2.3 or less and very occasionally hits' 3.4G, just *after* Xruns. There is nothing in the bios I can find regarding CPU frequency Any suggestions? -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
