OSS alsa fun

I typed in alsamixer -c2because one of my audio interfaces suddenly had only output on one of the two channels.

As a rule, in Linux and any other Open Source OS, you don't reboot like a moronic end user, to fix a problem:

• troubleshoot the problem
• Isolate the problem
• when hardware relation is established
• check which kernel module needs to be flused
• rmmod mod_name
• insmod mod_name
• read the man-page for the kernel_mod

I executed the above steps (stepping over the kernel mod slush) and came in the alsamixer to see that there finally is a massive update to the alsamixer for this interface

What I needed to do is pull one fader up in the mixer and get the audio balance again. As a bonus I can now balance the output of the device in alsamixer, instead of on the rack-mount instrument mixer in my effects rack.

man alsamixer
man rmmod
man insmod

Habe gestern per Bluetooth-Kopfhörer mehrfach an der Lautstärke rumgestellt

Heute dann die alten Overears wieder an Klinke angesteckt und #uBUNTu auf'm Arbeitsrechner hat wieder alle Pegel so weit verhauen dass man es mit #pavucontrol nicht repariert bekommt

Ich muss 2024 noch wild mit #alsamixer rumstellen um mein Audio verwenden zu können.

Erklär das mal einer Oma der ich nen #Linux-Rechner in die Hand drücken würde!

Einfach nur kaputt!

#audio #Linux #Pulseaudio

My #Ubuntu box (#MiniForum TH50, 11th gen #Intel i5) loses the ability to play #sound after some updates.

I try all the normal stuff; kick #pulseaudio in the nuts, fiddle with #alsamixer, etc, but nothing works.

#Linux sees the integrated sound output, thinks it's working, but no sound is coming out, until one day it just magically starts working again.

Not complaining, just noting.

#technology #computers

Strange dream. I saw someone type a three letter command and it was a replacement for alsamixer, but with cool graphics (like fasttracker 2 in DOS) and "sliders for everything" (I remember this phrase). Great urgency to remember those three letters, I HAVE TO install this now, so I can always fix my mic issues during a conference, I was thinking.

Didn't remember.
Also, don't have mic issues.

#alsamixer #pipewire

How can I set up a user-local volume gain value using pure ALSA?
(no pulseaudio, pipewire, etc)

Possibly it's something to do with creating a pcm sink or changing the default one in .asoundrc.
I've tried this without success:

pcm.!default {
type route
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
}
route_policy "duplicate"
ttable {
0 { 0 { 0.5 } }
}
}

The error is: (conf.c) _toplevel_:11:0:Unexpected char

Don't you love tiling window managers?
