[arch-proaudio] BPF & RT
by Dancehall Echo 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

HI, For a while I am unable to apply the RT patch ... Once compiled the kernel is even more SMP PREEMPT but only SMP. I tried with Linux-RT and Linux-RT-BFQ both of AUR and the result is the same. After a few research I saw that there was a conflict between BPF and patch RT, what I could find dated a year ago, is it always the case? I also put their hands on another patch that allows you to co-exist BPF and PREEMPT_RT, this one also dates a year ago, is it still relevant, I did not find any more recent ... Kind regards.

[arch-proaudio] No sound on kernel 5.10.16 with a HDA Intel PCH card
by tasos tsesmetzis 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Dear list members, After upgrading to kernel 5.10.16, my sound card (HDA Intel PCH Realtek ALC892) stopped sending output to speakers and headphones. Audio files seemed to play. By downgrading to my latest kernel 5.9.10, sound output worked fine. In both kernel versions, alsa package versions where the same. Also, the card driver snd_hda_intel was installed. Could you, please, share a couple of ideas on where to search for a solution? Thank you

[arch-proaudio] Jami: is JACK implemented?
by riveravaldez 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

Hi, sorry if this is not the place to ask. I've been trying Jami for video-calls between a couple of laptops with Arch and Debian Testing. I've seen that in Arch one can choose JACK as audio server, which is *awesome*. But when tried to connect its ports (in the 'Connections' window of qjackctl) I'd found myself unable to. Is this how it's supposed to be working right now? I mean: is JACK implemented/usable, at what extent? Or what should I do to use Jami over JACK instead of PulseAudio?, without PA-bridge, just simple plain JACK. Thanks a lot in advance for any info. Best regards!

[arch-proaudio] LinuxSampler: the LADSPA TriplePara effects explosion
by Jeanette C. 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hey hey, I am running LinuxSampler 2.1.1 and somehow have just recently (over the past two weeks?) got an error with a crash. LinuxSampler instatiates possibly hundreds of TriplePara LADSPA plugins when loading 26 SFZ instruments from the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra (SSO). By the start of January this still worked without a crash. Did someone else experience that issue? Is the svn version from the AUR to be preferred (at the moment)?

[arch-proaudio] Reintroducing jack2-dbus
by David Runge 20 Jan '21

20 Jan '21

Hi all, I have split up the jack2 package again (currently in [community-testing]). From now on there will be jack2 and jack2-dbus. The former provides jackd, while the latter provides only the jackdbus integration (i.e. jack_control, jackdbus and the dbus service) and depends on jack2. The rationale behind this is that it is the more flexible approach for systems where dbus activation should not be used (e.g. also in pipewire environments), while at the same time providing clearer dependencies for software that *only* works with dbus activation (e.g. cadence or optionally qjackctl). If you can think of more packages that fully or optionally rely on jackdbus, let me know! Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-proaudio] Petri-Foo
by Dancehall Echo 08 Jan '21

08 Jan '21

Hi, Petri-Foo is a fork of specimen, a MIDI controllable audio sampler, for JACK. i really appreciate it and I've been using it for many years in my radio-show here in Paris. I have try to build it on a new machine few days ago but it failed (both versions in AUR). I found no other software like it for GNU/Linux, non - commercial at least. I don't have the skills to fix the failing built. Could someone look into this? And once fix (if never), include Petri-foo in the audio repository? Kind regards.

[arch-proaudio] Added packages since June 2019
by David Runge 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Hey all, here are some changes to the [community] repository (and the pro-audio group in particular) since June last year (holy cow, time flies!). Added packages: * fluajho * patroneo * gxplugins.lv2 * adlplug * bslizr * ebumeter * pd-gem * haskell-tidalcycles * wolf-spectrum * zita-dc1 * foxdot * geonkick * qmidinet * deteriorate-lv2A * mephisto.lv2 * vico * surge * xmonk.lv2 * adljack * bsequencer * bshapr * jack-stdio * jack_delay * jackmeter * jackminimix * ninjas2 * element * iempluginsuite * midimsg-lv2 * surge * xmonk.lv2 * liquidsfz * sfizz * ambix * bchoppr * helm-synth (replaces helm due to naming conflict with the kubernetes tool) * jack_utils * ir.lv2 * jack_mixer * new-session-manager * agordejo * muse * distrho-ports These are the more or less top-level additions (some of them dragged in interesting makedepends or checkdepends such as redkite, abletonlink or lv2lint). There have also been a few removals, such as raul (more or less defunct and unused) and non-session-manager (replaced by new-session-manager). The vst3-plugins package group has been added for packages that provide vst3-plugins (I still need to bring the SDK to the repos for hosts to make use of it...). You can inspect the various audio related groups with pacman: pacman -Sg pro-audio pacman -Sg lv2-plugins pacman -Sg vst-plugins pacman -Sg vst3-plugins Unrelated: Many of the lv2 plugin packages are now being linted using lv2lint (and problems being reported upstream) which hopefully improves the overall quality of the plugins over time. If you have further suggestions for package additions, please let me know! Since my last mail in regards to package updates I have not done too many changes on audio related wiki pages (due to time spent on more infrastructure related topics in regards to Arch Linux). I would like to encourage you to be active members of the Arch Wiki as I think that especially the pro-audio related articles leave much to be desired. Also, if you would like to package (pro-audio) packages for Arch Linux do get in touch (e.g. for a Trusted User sponsorship)! I realize that at around 500 packages it gets a little tedious... :> Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-proaudio] realtime kernels in unofficial user repository
by David Runge 08 Aug '20

08 Aug '20

Hi again, since October 2019 I'm co-maintaining the linux-rt [1] and linux-rt-lts [2] PKGBUILDs in the AUR which have been taken care of by Joakim Hernberg for many years. To that end I provide an unofficial user repository [3] which can be used to install prebuilt binary packages of the two kernels. Best, David [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-rt/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-rt-lts/ [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#dvzrv -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-proaudio] pd-faustgen package
by Albert Graef 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hi David, This is a very nifty software, a Faust external for Pd featuring live compilation using the libfaust JIT, by Pierre Guillot from CICM - Univ. Paris 8 (you might still remember him, he was at LAC@c-base a couple of years ago, IIRC). In the past few days, I've worked with Pierre to make this work without any hitches on Arch, using LLVM 10 and the current Faust version (2.7.2). You can find my PKGBUILD here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pd-faustgen/ It would be really nice if you could adopt this package and put it into community, that would be much appreciated. The package is pretty easy to build (it uses cmake and includes most of its dependencies), there's just that pesky `WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir` that I've forgotten how to deal with. I'm sure that you can get rid of it. ;-) This is still under active development, so timely support is guaranteed. :) In particular, I plan to work with Pierre to bring pd-faustgen's features up to par with Stephane's Max faustgen and my own pd-faust, adding stuff like MIDI and OSC support, so that I can eventually get rid of pd-faust and just use pd-faustgen instead. Many thanks in advance! Albert -- Dr. Albert Gr"af Computer Music Research Group, JGU Mainz, Germany Email: aggraef(a)gmail.com, web: https://agraef.github.io/
