He also put out an interview with daddy gym about mersh https://youtu.be/I2iWkr4taVo . Jim doesn't know anything about mersh so it's Porsalin just telling Jim about mersh lore. Honestly I liked it more than the actual documentary just because of the genuine reaction and the wholesomeness of someone getting to introduce someone else to something they both like. Highly recommend. The BMW parts had me in stitches.

I enjoyed the documentary, but I liked the Jim interview more as well.

It was pretty funny when he had Indian actors playing the transaction between Mersh and show me kitties.

what are you using for your audio on it?

pretty consistently the audio autists really seem to enjoy using jack. I'm not someone that really cares much about it, because I don't do any voice recording. But that's been one of the things that have stuck around for quite a while in linux. That is used by people that do care about it. I would definitely recommend looking into that if you haven't already.


There is a newer pipewire interface with it. If you are already using pipewire called pipewire-jack.

it actually uses all of them. make a file called 99-whatever.conf in~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/and put any settings in there. the 99- prefix makes absolutely sure it overwrites any other config files (pipewire handles conflicting settings from multiple config files by loading files with numbers in order, so higher number prefixes will overwrite settings that were set by other config files). you can put config files with pretty much any name in~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/and it will use them.
i remember having some quality issues and audio crackling when i first switched to pipewire years ago and i'm pretty sure changing the resampling quality fixed it (however i'm not 100% certain because it was so long ago now, i might have done something else too…). maybe gemini can give you some other config settings to try if upping resampling quality doesn't help

Proton has a free VPN that I used for my phone for a long time. Also for phone Mullvad DNS. On the computer, I second brave and protonvpn.
 
what sounds bad specifically? Knowing that might help to track down what the actual cause is. Like is the audio no coming through clearly? Is it distorted?

first few seconds are fine.
at exactly 6 seconds a bass line drops. it sounds like a bunch of bubble wrap popping. when her voice comes in it's like a bad cell connection. at 36 seconds right before she sings there's a hard-to-describe musical sting. usually it's crisp, to me it sounds like gas being let out but there's moisture so it's sloppy and gross
 
i just rebooted to re-enable the bios audio without using the scarlett and using the "hd audio" from the mobo is 100% fucking fine. it's just the scarlett. someone on twitter suggests it's power draw but the piece of shit works just fucking fine on windows.

Congrats Jersh.

Is there any plans for merch for Christmas? I’m sure many Kiwi’s would love some Kiwimas themed merch. Maybe even some Valentines stuff since none of us are doing anything on that day anyways?

I'm not a Linux person but I do have some familiarity with audio stuff. Does "default.clock.rate": 192000, mean you trying to run at a 192k sample rate? Have you tried it at 48k or 44100 to see if there's a difference?

I'm kind of curious. I you tried running just alsa. and maybe just the old jack for your mics if need be. Instead of using the normal pipewire sound server what audio quality you would get. That's what I do. I avoid pulse, and pipewire as much as possible.

Basically the entirety of the set up you have to do on basically any running system with it. is have this file. If your system has multiple detected sound card in it. Because it might use the wrong one by default. And you would also need to not have pipewire, or pulseaudio start, and take over the sound server.

And install the alsa-utils package.

pipewire-alsa if it's there will create it's own alsa node and you won't be able to use it like normal. but it's by far the simplest way to do audio on linux. Even though it has a bad reputation. I don't think most people have actually tried running a linux system without pulse or pipewire. Because what I've described is about the extent that most people will have to do for set up along with installing alsa-utils.

then for controlling sound I use alsamixer. I believe there are some gui mixers for alsa also, but this works fine for me. a I have the audio keys on my keyboard tied to raise and lower volume.

there is one caveat. Thats if you are running wayland you are going to need pipewire running to do screencapture. You can just not not have it start up as a sound server I believe, and you should be fine though. And I would make sure there aren't any files from pipewire symlinked into the /etc/alsa directory. if you try running just normal alsa while having pipewire installed.

also there is a ton of information here.

After moving over to alsa myself. I've been pretty happy with audio on linux actually. I don't understand why people don't like alsa. I feel like people get scared away or something when they see terms like low level, or see talk about audio cards. But for me it's by far the smoothest audio experience I have had on linux. I install one package. have one file in /etc and audio just works for me. I don't have to worry about starting up pipewire, or wireplumber, and it's million config files.

tl;dr

I recommend trying just alsa, to see if there is a noticeable difference in sound. If not you could easily reinstall pipewire.

just make sure if you aren't getting sound it's using your actual audio card if you have multiple it's detecting, you can use the /etc/asound.conf file to fix that in 2 lines.

make sure your user is in the audio group.

have the alsa-utils package it comes with alsamixer and a few other utilities. (also there are alsamixer guis)

if you run into issues with it. or it makes no difference. install pipewire-pulse again.

Can I see the output from pw-top? This will show the current settings the DAC is operating at.
Software can negotiate its own settings, so the defaults in the config aren't always what is being used.

Also, if you can hold your phone mic up to your headphones and get a few seconds of the bad audio recorded, that would help a lot.

Edit: pw-mon output would be even more helpful
 
I've found that audio technology has gotten so good that even the cheapo integrated audio chipsets are indistinguishable to professional capture cards to my ears.
The only benefit I could see a discrete audio card having these days is having lots of channels or supporting stuff like DMX.

I saw a few old movies with really bad sound recently and I thought that my cheap Zoom H1n recorder would've probably done a better job than whatever they used.

Mersh is hard to watch because its like 99% nontent then he gets in to something funny. Like the repo arc, the multiple strokes live on are, him getting banned by paypal live on air, etc etc.

Him blowing up at AronWolfe was kino, and now he is on to cog:

This clip is from AFTER Ralph blew up and slammed the table when he was daggerpussy's house last week. Ralph doesn't even know how to respond since Mersh isn't hollering back.
