09:12 <ocb> anyone using some setup to decrypt ssl/tls and filter malicious (ddos) traffic based on specific string before forwarding to backend app

13:55 <frinnst> firefox-bin is laggig a bit

19:43 <nepie> hello, i am trying to get sound working on my system

19:52 <nepie> anyone can point me in the right direction?

20:05 <ppetrov^> are you using pulseaudio?

20:06 <nepie> i just installed alsa-tools so i think i am using alsa...

20:09 <nepie> i assume, i shoud start by verifying that crux can see my sound card. what is a good way to do it?

20:14 <ppetrov^> well, i configured pulseaudio, since i need bluetooth

20:14 <ppetrov^> try

20:15 <ppetrov^> alsaconfig? if that was the tool name

20:15 <ppetrov^> no

20:15 <ppetrov^> alsamixer

20:16 <ppetrov^> check if things are not muted, put volumes up where necessary. Then, if i remember right: alsactl store

20:17 <ppetrov^> you sure you built your sound card's driver?

20:20 <nepie> i am not sure i built sound cards driver. how can i verify that?

20:20 <stenur> just to mention i use bluealsa which works gracefully in the meantime. (Even with my shitty TV that is.)

20:21 <stenur> and apulse for firefox-bin. Ditto.

20:21 <stenur> ..Of course.. only one output device via bluetooth.

20:23 <stenur> ..and i stop/start dnsmasq, bluez and bluealsa in my zzz hook before/after LID close; i have seen problems with 5.10 otherwise.

20:24 <stenur> But, hey! Kernel 5.15 of my rtw_8822be Realtek shared wifi/bluetooth is _so_ much better than 5.10!

20:25 <stenur> I can play music while doing downloads, the downloads to not stall to 0, the music does not stutter (only during DHCP packets when associating).

20:26 <stenur> It has improved so much with so few lines of code (once i looked last) that i wondered why the Realtek employees (i think) that write this driver have not ported the few improvements back to 5.10 despite quite some bug reports of more than just me. They did not even speak on Bugzilla.

20:27 <stenur> And "Go Go Godzilla" was Japanese instead, no? Hm.

20:27 <stenur> nepie: look at dmesg(1) output

20:28 <stenur> nepie: look at lspci(1) output

20:28 <stenur> Eh, lspci(8)

20:29 <stenur> For example: lspci |grep -i audio

20:30 <nepie> i don't have errors in dmesg and lspci reports audio devices

20:30 <stenur> And with -vv you see which kernel driver is in use, here it is: lspci -vv |grep -A10 -i audio

20:30 <stenur> And there i see: Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

20:31 <pedja> or 'lspci -k'

20:31 <stenur> ..even better

20:32 <pedja> does CRUX has inxi or hwinfo ports these days?

20:32 <stenur> Just yesterday i did three hours of searching the balkan pissbox; i hate it; wc -l src/.PEDJA -> 23 src/.PEDJA

20:33 <nepie> i get that driver in use is snd_hda_intel on my system

20:33 <nepie> so i assume my sound card is installed

20:33 <nepie> i did get alsalib version error when trying to install alsa-utils

20:33 <stenur> If nothing is in these 69 hours i must have missed it once again. I swear i got that oh so often fifteen years ago when that "yugoslavian" woman lived in this house, she liked it.

20:34 <stenur> well then compile it anew; just did that Saturday rest Monday to step anything to glibc 2.34, it is working here.

20:34 <stenur> 'Had binaries from April 2019, CRUX 3.5?, still.

20:35 <stenur> But all working, thanks to the monster that is library symbol versioning i presume.

20:35 <pedja> nepie, what's the output of 'aplay -l'?

20:36 <pedja> that should list the sound devices alsa sees, iirc

20:36 <stenur> And have you called alsaconf? I think that it was, it needs to initialize itself.

20:36 <stenur> And have you started the alsa port?

20:39 <nepie> aplay -l displays a list of devices. sorry, not sure how to copy and paste in xterm

20:39 <pedja> don't paste here, use a paste site, share the link

20:39 <nepie> i just installed alsaconf. not sure how to start alsaport

20:39 <stenur> prt-get info alsa

20:40 <stenur> /etc/rc.d/alsa start

20:41 <nepie> hey!! i am getting somewhere. i initialized alsa and now my alsamixer is showing info

20:44 <nepie> alsaconf does not find any cards...

20:46 <pedja> so which info is alsamixer showing then?

20:50 <nepie> sorry, having difficulties pasting.

20:51 <nepie> alsamixer shoing coexant card but it is in the second position after hdmi.

20:51 <nepie> how do i set it as a default sound card?

20:55 <nepie> 1

20:55 <pedja> https://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Setting_the_default_device

21:05 <nepie> thanks. i will try that right now.

21:10 <nepie> i created defaults.pch.card 1 and defaults.hdmi.card 0 in asound.conf

21:10 <nepie> restarted alsa but default is not being picked up. do i need to restart my system?

21:10 <stenur> no

21:10 <stenur> ctl.!default { type hw; card 0; }

21:11 <stenur> ditto pcm.!default

21:11 <stenur> restarting never

21:12 <stenur> asound.conf is a terrible undocumented mess. Unfortunately!

21:13 <pedja> I've been using pulseaudio for so long I forgot about the whole alsa config mess :)

21:13 <stenur> It is also an ALSA fault that bluealsa can use one device only

21:14 <stenur> I always hated that concept of audio going app->kernel->server->kernel if all i need is possibly adjustment of frequency/bitrate

21:14 <nepie> ctl says event not found; i type ctl.!default {pch; card 1;}

21:14 <stenur> What is pch?

21:15 <pedja> 'pcm' typo, I presume :)

21:16 <stenur> I also have pcm.hda_intel { type hw; card 0; }

21:18 <stenur> Alsa is too native, a "type plug" cannot be used by "type dmix" because dmix uses the hardware timers of the underlaying device which (thus) must be "type hw".

21:19 <stenur> And without a "dmix" only one program ever can use the device. What a pity.

21:21 <stenur> nepie: http://ix.io/2QzX is my /etc/asound.cnf; super primitive as i have no idea, but it works just fine in practice, no clicks no stutters regardless how high the load; less bluetooth audio which goes many ways through bluetooth, it can show delays at load averages of 10.0 and above.

21:22 <stenur> (I can set $ALSAPCM environment variable to switch the default device to say "bt", or "xmix".

21:22 <nepie> thank you all for your help. i have a work thing. catch you all later.

21:22 <stenur> That is actually all i know of Alsa.

21:23 <stenur> Oh. With my last breath.

21:23 <stenur> Think i can go peel potatoes for animal friends :)

22:37 <nepie> thank you again #stenur & #ppetrov; very grateful for your help

22:37 <nepie> thank you pedja
