At a LUG, helping a new Linux enthusiast solve their ALSA IRQ issues in '98, did indeed make me feel Hey-ya!
* It was lucky I had chewed through the exact same issue, 3 weeks before. Must have looked like a space wizard.
Running mint on an old Mac hah. Know the feel
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.
I had completely forgotten about mandrake, thanks i guess…?
And I remember waiting for TexStar to release his updates to fix all the broken bits Mandrake would just release. Those were simpler times…
So this is strangely specific but on nobara I have a second audio output slider for each application when I look at volume controls. Its not functional at affecting the volume of the app.
Any ideas?
open the terminal and type pavucontrol and see what that looks like. Is it also showing that, or are you just seeing 2 in your DE sounds or something?
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 :/
You can also do 32-bit audio on linux. Also what do you mean by sub-CD?
I would assume he means sub 44.1k Hz and 16-bit.
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.
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.
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!
When everyone struck so hard under neverslop banners, I was kind of afraid folks will alienate an awesome poster.
Glad to see you taking it the right way! :)
Smiled when I saw someone de-slopped the meme, smiled even harder when I saw the same OP
You love to see it
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Dr. Intel Amderson, the cousin of Large Language Astronaut, Air Force Major Claude Gippitty. He was the first large language model in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 2021. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 2023. He was stranded there in 2026 when openai was dissolved in acid. His human crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by cheese. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.
In the 14-years since he has been on the station, it has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Bitcoin Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring it back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.
Regard,
Vice Senator Intel Amderson
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?)
Bless you for doing it non-AI
redemption arc?
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.
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.
But I was told that Linux has never had any audio problems and I was completely imagining all the ones I thought I had.
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

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.
Im more surprised it works at all considering it uses eac
guys my motherboard audio jack makes a loud pop 16 seconds after the last sound was played 😭
Just in case you’re not referencing a shitpost: shitty power optimizations, can be disabled.

MYAAH
Stupid sexy Skeletor…
I pray, oh my doug, and I pray, every single day, for a revolution.
Did you mean oh Magog? Because you shouldn’t ignore the one true doug
Uh oh, that’s an embarrassing mistake on my part. Will try harder next time.
Hey that’s my Halloween costume this year
