| gnarface | systemdlete: the last comment says to reopen if there's an issue, so maybe that's the thing to do | 04:33 |

| Necrodiver | hello, i have an issue with my thinkpad x200s. I cant get sound from it and all the places i look dont provide any trustworthy answers, or they are geared towards winblows users | 12:02 |
| Necrodiver | i even tried plugging in headphones and that didnt work either | 12:02 |
| Necrodiver | the audio device is Intel 8280II (ICH9 family) audio controller, rev 3 | 12:03 |
| Necrodiver | that pc is using refracta stable | 12:09 |
| Joril | Hi! Have you checked /var/log/messages? any errors? | 12:14 |
| Necrodiver | didnt know to look there, let me check right now | 12:15 |
| Necrodiver | doesnt look to have any error messages with the audio | 12:18 |
| Necrodiver | says the pc speakers are devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input13 | 12:21 |
| Necrodiver | this seems to be a pretty common problem from all the searching ive done, but nothing ive tried works | 12:55 |
| debdog | Necrodiver: what does aplay -l say? | 12:55 |
| Necrodiver | card 0: Intel [HDA Intel] device 0: CX20561 analog subdevice 1/1, then it says it again for digital | 12:58 |
| Necrodiver | device 0 is analog, device 1 is digital | 13:00 |
| Necrodiver | so it SHOULD work | 13:00 |
| debdog | in alsamixer -V playback are channels Master and PCM unmuted and up? | 13:01 |
| Necrodiver | yep maxed to 100 | 13:02 |
| debdog | and possible channel Front, too | 13:02 |
| Necrodiver | auto-mute is disabled too | 13:02 |
| debdog | and NOT muted? green OO at the very bottom of each slider? | 13:03 |
| Necrodiver | yep | 13:03 |
| debdog | it is possible sound is played but on the wrong device, analog vs. digital | 13:03 |
| Necrodiver | the only thing off is s/pdif | 13:03 |
| debdog | ok | 13:04 |
| debdog | I just don't remember how to test that :P | 13:05 |
| gnarface | Necrodiver: is pulseaudio running? | 13:06 |
| Necrodiver | not even installed | 13:06 |
| Necrodiver | only alsa | 13:06 |
| gnarface | what does "speaker-test -c 2" do? | 13:06 |
| Necrodiver | its fuzz sound | 13:07 |
| gnarface | it makes sound! | 13:07 |
| gnarface | that's the expected behavior | 13:07 |
| Necrodiver | okay | 13:07 |
| gnarface | diagnosis: nothing is wrong with your setup | 13:07 |
| gnarface | well, nothing is wrong with stereo anyway | 13:08 |
| Necrodiver | lol | 13:08 |
| gnarface | the issue is probably with the program or media you were using | 13:08 |
| debdog | I hope it is not the browser used for testing sound | 13:09 |
| Necrodiver | i was using librewolf to watch a video on odysee | 13:09 |
| onefang | One problem I've had with sound is that various sound things have more than one device. For example my graphics card with four sockets has 6 separate sound outputs. | 13:09 |
| gnarface | was the video in surround-sound? | 13:09 |
| Necrodiver | dont think so, but let me check again | 13:09 |
| gnarface | if not, make sure librewolf is playing to the device called "default" | 13:09 |
| gnarface | it's possible for it to pick something other than default for the default (oh, the irony!) | 13:10 |
| gnarface | i'm not familiar with librewolf or odyssey though | 13:10 |
| gnarface | odysee? is that how it's actually spelled? | 13:11 |
| Necrodiver | yeha | 13:11 |
| gnarface | i'm not seeing librewolf in the repos... | 13:11 |
| Necrodiver | yeah you have to install it separately | 13:12 |
| Necrodiver | its not in any repos | 13:12 |
| gnarface | double check that you didn't actually get a debian version of pulseaudio pulled in from their repo when you did that | 13:12 |
| gnarface | but my guess is that it needs a simple configuration setting change to point it to the right alsa device... why it wouldn't be using "default" these days is a mystery but it happens | 13:13 |
| gnarface | check librewolf's docs about it | 13:14 |
| Necrodiver | yeha its librewolf | 13:14 |
| Necrodiver | i jsut tried with bvrave and it werked | 13:14 |
| Necrodiver | sorry about all the misspellings lol | 13:14 |
| Necrodiver | so its a librewolf problem | 13:14 |
| Necrodiver | i should probably just use hardened firefox | 13:15 |
| Necrodiver | since thats all librewolf really is anyway | 13:15 |
| onefang | There's a hardened firefox? | 13:15 |
| Necrodiver | librewolf removes a lot of telemetry and stuff | 13:16 |
| Necrodiver | but you can do all that in about:preferences in firefox | 13:16 |
| debdog | does librewolf even support plain alsa? if not, you need apulse | 13:18 |
| Necrodiver | yeah i dont know about that | 13:18 |
| Necrodiver | i mean i have pulse on this pc because i needed it for obs | 13:18 |
| onefang | Mozilla even tell you how to remave that telemetry and stuff. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections | 13:18 |
| onefang | OBS might be able to use JACK. | 13:19 |
| Necrodiver | ive heard it could but I had a lot of trouble trying to figure jack out | 13:19 |
| Necrodiver | i mean if i could use jack instead, i would | 13:19 |
| onefang | qjackctl helps with most of the JACK hard stuff. | 13:20 |
| Necrodiver | ill have to spend some time this weekend using it | 13:20 |
| Necrodiver | if i can figure jack out, GTFO pulse | 13:20 |
| Necrodiver | lol | 13:20 |
| Necrodiver | i didnt want to install pulse, i felt dirty doing it lol | 13:21 |
| onefang | That's what I did. Nothing but ALSA and JACK here now. | 13:21 |
| Necrodiver | do you use OBS at all? | 13:21 |
| onefang | I have OBS-studio installed here and no pulseaudio shit. Haven't tried to use it yet though. | 13:22 |
| Necrodiver | ah | 13:22 |
| Necrodiver | lemme uninstall pulse right now | 13:22 |
| onefang | I started (re)learning music stuff at Christmas, and teaching myself MIDI keyboards New Years Eve. | 13:22 |
| onefang | So I've been evaluating all this fancy music creation software, and using it. | 13:23 |
| Necrodiver | what packages should i install from jack? | 13:23 |
| onefang | Qjackctl, Qsynth, MusE, and aabunch of plugins is what I'm using. I might add Hydrogen soon. | 13:24 |
| onefang | jackd2 | 13:24 |
| Necrodiver | so jackd2 and qjackctl | 13:25 |
| onefang | Yep, that's the basics. Then configure JACK via qjacjctl. | 13:26 |
| onefang | And if I didn't have my MIDI keyboard where my text keyboard usually lives right now, I'd be making less typoes. lol | 13:28 |
| Necrodiver | lol | 13:28 |
| Necrodiver | i shouldnt do the real time priority crap, right? | 13:28 |
| onefang | No need. | 13:28 |
| onefang | You can deal with the real time stuff later if you need to do actual professional music stuff. | 13:30 |
| Necrodiver | well ill have to screw around with it later now that its installed. I gotta take care of my laundry and get a LITTLE python study in before i go to bed | 13:30 |
| onefang | OK. Have fun. | 13:31 |
| * onefang goes back to his Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun drum'n'bass cover. | 13:31 | |
| Necrodiver | lol | 13:32 |
| Necrodiver | thanks for the help, and ill figure jack out this weekend | 13:32 |
