Greetings,
I am noticing, both here and on the Ubuntu Studio User's list, that other people's
posts get answered until the problem is solved, but mine are not. Sometimes the initial
query is answered, then the thread is dropped before I get the help I need. Other times,
my questions are ignored entirely. I do not see this happening with other posters.
Nobody is asking for more information to help them answer, or asking me to post
differently; the posts are just ignored.
So now, I am asking the community if there is something different you would like in the
way I post. I have poured the last two years of my life into trying to get audio
production working under Linux, with no success. I do not have a single minute of audio
recorded. If I cannot get the support of the community, I don't see how I will ever
be able to make music with Linux. What would you like me to do?
Thanks,
Paul in Seattle

I just checked the archives for July, August, September and October. I
see two posts from you, both in October: this one and another about
mailist list digest operation. I don't see any others, and I don't
recall any others.
This may have some bearing on your problem.

Hi Paul. I've often had unanswered requests for help, probably because nobody
knows the answer. It's always good to have a good subject line (not always
easy, depending on what you want to find out), and try to ask one question at
a time, rather than a whole string of problems posted under a subject line of
"Various audio problems" for example.
Remember that most of the folks on these lists are just users like you, and
have knowledge about the apps "they" use. I know a fair bit about the
soundcards that are on my 2 machines, and try to offer help where I can. I
try to give help to folks having problems with hda intel based soundcards,
but that's mainly down to pointing them to the right place to look for help,
as I don't have an hda intel card, and there are so many variations of it on
different mobo's it's almost impossible to give a definitive answer.
Now I possibly can't help, but what might be your first problem? Post with a
good subject line, and just one question at a time.
I presume your soundcard is working ok, so that's a good start.
All the best.
Nigel.
