Re: Reboot required questions
by Tim Keller
I'm a maniac that's compiling his own kernel.. so my machine gets rebooted
all the time.. generally I take updates, then build a kernel, install the
kernel and then reboot.

I'm not sure I want that.
There have been many times when jitsi worked well and times when
roughness was clearly because the microphone was too far from the
person speaking and somebody in the next room was using a jack hammer.
To aid debugging here is my report:
When I first got into the meeting, I could neither hear nor speak.
Somebody fixed something and I could hear the meeting, but still could
not speak. This was definitely a problem on my end. I went a
"settings" menu where you choose whether to use the built-in microphone
or the one on the headset. I had already chosen (correctly) the
headset, but this time I noticed a scroll bar on the side and when I
scrolled down it revealed a volume control which was set to zero. When
I set it to one I could be heard.
For a while it all worked well. Kevin gave a Very Impressive demo.
Then you decided to change things around. I think I heard someone say
something like "you need to use the microphone that goes with that
window". The sound cut off. I figured you were working on it, and said
nothing. When Kevin resumed his demo I could not hear it. Several
people complained via the text-based "chat". The little window with
Kevin's pictrure had a "muted" icon (micrphone with slash thru). Nobody
seemed to be watching the chat and it no longer worked when I tried
shouting.
I suspect that if anyone had noticed that Kevin had was muted and
pressed the correct "unmute" button, all would have been good again.

Sorry about the A/V issues last night on Jitsi..

To our members on the Jitsi call, sorry.
Last night was *rough.* we tested stuff at our end and the issue was
definitely at the Jitsi side of things.
We may have to explore a different platform for the virtual meetings..
Thanks for the patience.

I've hinted at setting up a zulip server and other stuff on it and then

Time to put actually do it and present it..

So I suspect this might actually be a hardware problem. Can you
provide more details on your motherboard and sound system? 'lspci'
output might help. dmesg, etc.

What does the output of 'amixer' show on your system?
Or the output of: arecord -l
give? This URL might help at little bit as well, though it is old:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/891623/how-to-list-access-all-the-available…
But do your a-c questions, I'd just setup some bash aliases, or
scripts to do what I want, something sorta like this, though I'm not
sure on the exact sox args to use. And I know my alias needs
work. but the idea is:
> alias recmic='sox rec -t alsa $(date > +"%Yx%mx%dx%Ix%Mx%Sx%p")-$o.mp3'
Then to use it do you:
> o=file
> recmic
and it would save to <datestring>-file.mp3
Or you setup an alias like the above called:
> alias recline='sox rec -t alsa ....'
And here's something that looks really useful:
https://websites.umich.edu/~diehl/LinuxHomeRecording.pdf
And have you tried using 'audacity' for your recording needs as well?
It's a GUI and might help you do some quick stuff, or at least help
you figure out which port(s) to specify.
Even better, try to come to a meeting and bring your hardware and
we'll sit down and work with you to make it all work!
Cheers,
John

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their
constituents as "consumers".
