Re: Advice on Stereo to Mono

do not connect stereo channels without resistors, they are necessary to protect stereo outputs from signal source

This is close to what you need, just leave out 4th resistor for 2nd mono output

Re: Jack Sink and web browsers

I sometimes want ALSA connection from Pulseaudio when not needing JACK

But if JACK is always running, I would disable 2 Pulseaudio modules:
  • module-udev-detect
  • module-detect
Remove those from ~./.config/pulse/default.pa and No ALSA cards

Re: Jack Sink and web browsers

Find correct names for Pulseaudio sinks: pactl list short sinks | cut -f2 Pulseaudio JACK sink default name is usually 'jack_out', so command is usually: pacmd set-default-sink jack_out Command will only work if JACK sink is loaded Could you try opening pavucontrol and on configuration tab ,set ever...

Re: Jack Sink and web browsers

I use Jack all the time. But suddenly, maybe a week ago, my Jack sink stopped being the default option for web browsers. Did you get an update for Pulseaudio about that time? If so, suggest delete Pulseaudio cookie rm ~/.config/pulse/cookie Restart PC to get new cookie created I need to open pavuco...

Same as anywhere else - mid-side recording
easy to adjust stereo image in post-production

If i had the money - ambisonic microphone

but using pan pots for mixdown is usually enough

Re: headphones always muted at restart

With headphones unmuted and everything else set correct in Alsamixer, use command:

Code: Select all

sudo alsactl store
ALSA settings are stored in file 'asound.state', location can vary depending on distribution

Re: Remove duplicate pulseaudio sink

Assuming Pulseaudio sink/sources are being loaded by 1. Cadence settings 2. Module configuration in Pulseaudio Simplest way is turn off Pulseaudio bridge in Cadence If you want to turn it off in Pulseaudio configuration: copy etc/pulse/default.pa to ~/.config/pulse/default.pa (optional) Open ~/.conf...

Re: Differences between the individual operating systems

Thank you very much! Recording that. Is LSP and foobar2000 an own plugin format like LADSPA, DSSI, Vamp, LV2, VST, AU, AAX, RTAS? I'll leave that out for now. If it is a format of its own, I will of course include it. This is about the different plugin formats. Meta level. :-) EDIT: Maybe LSP and f...

Re: help! -- unprovoked pulseaudio jack conflict

Most Linux distributions need package pulseaudio-jack for the Pulseaudio sinks/sources to JACK If that was not reinstalled with rest of audio packages would explain why Pulseaudio fails to start correctly and why JACK cannot find module-jack-sink.so If configuration file default.pa has: load-module ...
