This is a retake of my other meme as my original had an AI image that I was unaware of.

I'm getting old and soon I'm gonna get scammed by AI. I CAN FEEL IT! I can feel it about to happen!

Much better

😭👍

Every time I see this meme posted, it has a different and new version of this image. It’s part of the fun!

You know what's worse? After finding out that image was AI, I then found out a content creator I enjoyed was AI and stealing work from an Italian artist.

Unc really is about to get scammed, gamers.

redemption arc?

I said Hey! What's going on?

Put your nerdy where your mouth is!

I just installed mint on my girlfriend’s 2015 MacBook. Everything works except for the audio. I haven’t started troubleshooting yet because it was just installed last night.

Save me time—how do I fix it?

First thing to check is Alsamixer. Get on that mfugging terminal and type in Alsamixer and then hit the F6 key to check if Mint was just being weird and muted anything. I had that happen to me a few times where it muted headphones or speakers on its own.

If that alone doesn't work, it can help to check if wireplumber and be sure this is enabled.

systemctl status --user wireplumber.service

If it isn't enabled, then run

systemctl --user start wireplumber.service

And if none of that worked, I did find Pavucontrol worked pretty amazingly for me. I just downloaded it and it just worked to just

sudo apt install pavucontrol

and then ran

pavucontrol &

Lemme know if any of this worked. Since you JUST got it, I don't think it's anything too crazy.

I saw this Ai image meme previously. And it didn't catch my interest. It just didn't click. The text was there, the he-man. But the sound wasnt playing in my head. It was dead silent.
Now I see this new take with a capture from the heyaheya he-man youtube parody with a real guy I saw some years ago and the sound came. I had the music in my head, and some images flashback.
Ai don't have feeling. They're just bland, like an ice-cream without the cream. Just ice.

Dear audio support thread

How do I get the headphones and line out to function on the x870 MSI tomahawk in pop os 24.04

Line out is not shown as a separate device to headphones jack

TAKE A DEEP BREATH! Take a deep breath! It's okay! I'm a trained professional!

Aight first, LISTEN TO MY VOICE, first we're gonna wanna open the terminal and type in Alsamixer. Now the problem is that x870 has multiple audio devices! Some might be named something like 'USB Audio" or even "Realtek ALC[numbers]"

Try to find a setting called "Auto-Mute Mode" and disable it!

If this doesn't work, the good news is like Mint, Pop!_OS also uses Wireplumber! Open up Pavucontrol, which I think Pop!_OS just comes with or at least my friend told me it did, go to the Configuration tab, find the USB Audio tab, and change the profile to "Pro Audio" and then wait a bit and then switch it back to "Analog Stereo Duplex"! This works because it just works.

Lastly it could be a bios thing. Get into the BIOS, go to settings, then advances, and then find the Integrated Peripherals and ensure that the HD Audio Controller is enabled.

And if none of that works, it could be that Wireplumber is borked up and I have what is called a pro-gamer move. On Mint, this ALWAYS works!

systemctl --user stop wireplumber.service

rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber

systemctl --user start wireplumber.service

Take it easy, gamer.

I’m getting old and soon I’m gonna get scammed by AI.

I'm in my mid 40s and this terrifies me, honestly. I've seen a lot of images people point out are AI and don't notice it until later. Some are super obvious, but others I might never notice (and doubly so if I don't stop to actually examine all the details of every image I see and who has time for that?)

Nicely done.

And I say, hey hey, hey hey

Pipewire has fixed pretty much every audio problem I've had across both Linux and windows. Pair that with qpwgraph for a gui for controlling input and output flow, and you're in easy to fix audio city, baby.

What's going on?

Stupid sexy Skeletor...

So, someone got a good room reader (as in balancing speakers with pulse)? About to do it again.

I pray, oh my doug, and I pray, every single day, for a revolution.

I tried for so long to get my motu 828es to play nice on cachyos. Ended up getting a nice focusrite since it is much more compatible, did a bunch of tweaks to get latency right down, and now Reaper just crashes for no reason after about an hour or so of use flips table

Did you mean oh Magog? Because you shouldn't ignore the one true doug

Bless you for doing it non-AI

Hey Mr audio, I changed one of my Recording Devices in my Sound - System Settings from Analog Stereo Input (I think lol) to Pro Audio (for the lols) and it completely removed itself from the list... I have no idea where it went or what to search because I don't really know what I did.

Edit: I'm an idiot and for to include: CachyOS and KDE Plasma

I still have the problem of audio delayed start.

After a while, of I start anything with audio whether it's an mp3 file, a video file anything on the browser, whatever, there's always like a whole second of delay before the audio starts

This drive me insane when I'm song audio editing.

I found this problem across all Linux distros. And this problem started happening in the last few (maybe 5?) years as far as I've noticed.

If you have a fix for that, that would be great.

But I was told that Linux has never had any audio problems and I was completely imagining all the ones I thought I had.

I haven't experienced any audio issues in many moons... like long enough ago I can't remember... I know they were an issue 20 years ago.... but wouldn't say they were 5 years ago... of course I stopped distro hopping as often... and as I typed this I realized I still have an audio problem heh. Sometimes after a pause my audio comes back at a lower level for a few seconds until it fixes itself.

What about bluetooth audio?

Had to install a single package once to get it to connect more reliably but otherwise no issues.

Smiled when I saw someone de-slopped the meme, smiled even harder when I saw the same OP

You love to see it

Uh oh, that's an embarrassing mistake on my part. Will try harder next time.

MYAAH

guys my motherboard audio jack makes a loud pop 16 seconds after the last sound was played 😭

So, I'm actually able to reproduce that and then had to fix it myself. 😅

The "Pro Audio" profile seems to be a PipeWire thing: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/FAQ#what-is-the-pro-audio-profile

I'm guessing, the recording device doesn't like that profile and just crashes right away. And when it has crashed, it won't show up in the list of available devices.

Now, how is that profile remembered even when the device disconnects? Apparently, a component called "WirePlumber" is responsible for that.
And it stores this information in: ~/.local/state/wireplumber/default-profile

If you don't mind losing your profile selection for other devices, you can just do:

mv ~/.local/state/wireplumber/default-profile ~/.local/state/wireplumber/default-profile.old

and then do a reboot.
After the reboot, your recording device should be back.

If you do mind losing the other profiles, then make a backup of that file and try to remove lines related to your recording device, and again do a reboot to test it.
For me, it was a device which had both input and output, and I had to remove both lines before it recognized it as unconfigured.

Just in case you're not referencing a shitpost: shitty power optimizations, can be disabled.

Can you help my audio crackles whenever my CPU starts to do something resource intensive?
Or with KWIN under Wayland lagging as well when the CPU also starts to cook itself?
Breaking keyboard inputs and mouse.
BTW this is when I intentionally overload the CPU lol.
I could just switch back to x11 like the bitch I am though.
But like I enjoy having a GPU rendered desktop and not going through x11 for everything.

Basically 100% of my problems since switching to linux have been audio related.

Oh wait I mean no, gaslighting isn't real you made it up because you're crazy

Hey that's my Halloween costume this year

At some point a rew months ago my work laptop running Fedora just started having shit sound for both recording and playback. My guess is some interrupt handler somehow changed and is now getting blocked by my disk or network or something, but who can say?

If it was my personal laptop I would spend a weekend sorting it out, but....

True! Helping somebody less experienced than you solve a problem is a rush. I've had the same experience helping people with 3d printing problems.

Audio is one of the very short list of things windows actually handles better. I have a very nice DAC for my iems and on Linux it is stuck at sub cd quality. On windows I can go 32bit audio :/

On the topic of audio. Does anyone know how to fix microphones in the game Squad? My mic works for discord and also in the steam microphone test, it just doesn't seem to register in game. I really want to play more of these teamwork based games but it is really hard to do so when I can't effectively communicate with the people in my squad.

I am on TuxedoOS with a HyperX Quadcast if that helps with troubleshooting.

What MacBook and distro? I had my 2015 MacBook Pro audio work out of the box with Ubuntu 6 years ago when I installed it. The only thing that didn't work right away was the webcam

I once spent a month trying to compile a kernel and sound driver for a SoundBlaster Gold card in Mandrake 6. I still have flashbacks to that time.

You know what, I'm good just sitting here in silence.

You can also do 32-bit audio on linux. Also what do you mean by sub-CD?

I had completely forgotten about mandrake, thanks i guess..?
