I want to record (line in) from an audio device and separate the left and right channel each to a different process, or record them separately of course. What I want is something like that (play command just as example): either:

arecord (left channel only) -q -D plughw:1,0 -f S16_LE -r 22050 | play -t raw -r 22050 -b 16 -e signed -q - 
arecord (right channel only) -q -D plughw:1,0 -f S16_LE -r 22050 | play -t raw -r 22050 -b 16 -e signed -q -

(may also result in device or resource busy?) or something like "arecord | splitchannels (leftchannel | process 1) (rightchannel | process 2)" or possibly more like that "arecord | tee >(getleftchannel | process1) >(getrightchannel | process2) > /dev/null" as intensive web searches didn't give any usable results. Any idea how I can accomplish that?

I've figured out a way to capture video on wayland (hyprland) with ffmpeg, but that method does not cover audio. Most people on wayland will be using pipewire, pipewire has a compatibility layer for pulseaudio called pipewire-pulse which allows most audio designed for pulseaudio to be played or recorded through pipewire. But in ffmpeg's case it doesn't seem to work. ffmpeg -device /dev/dri/card1 -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD129 -f pulse -ac 2 -i easyeffects_sink.monitor -c:a libopus -framerate 60 -f kmsgrab -i - -c:v h264_vaapi -rc_mode QVBR -q:v 10 -maxrate 327680 -b 81920 -pix_fmt vaapi -vf hwmap=derive_device=vaapi,scale_vaapi=format=nv12:out_range=full out.mp4 The above command fails with Option device not found. Error opening input file easyeffects_sink.monitor. Error opening input files: Option not found But if I remove this part: -f pulse -ac 2 -i easyeffects_sink.monitor -c:a libopus It will work relatively fine. and if I am on x11 instead of wayland, using x11grab instead of kmsgrab ffmpeg -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD129 -f pulse -ac 2 -i easyeffects_sink.monitor -c:a libopus -video_size 2560x1600 -framerate 60 -f x11grab -i :1.0 -c:v h264_vaapi -rc_mode QVBR -q:v 10 -maxrate 327680 -b 81920 -pix_fmt vaapi -vf format=nv12,hwupload out.mp4 That command works perfectly fine even if it uses the exact same options that didn't work on kmsgrab. Which leaves me with the question of whether ffmpeg is capable of capturing audio from a wayland environment at all.

I have *Ubuntu 19.04*, and I am facing issues with sounds. When playing audio, I get audio through only one of the speakers (the left one, that is). Also, the volume is pretty low. I run the same on windows 10 (through dual boot), and both speakers run perfectly fine with proper amplification. What should I do?

all. Hope you guys are doing well. I have downloaded a 28min mp4 from a site but its audio and video got downloaded into 2 separate mp4 file both of 28min. Now how can I merge them? Thanks in advance Attaching ffprobe info for those file below

Two days ago I started using Arch Linux. I've got some sound issues. I've installed alsa, alsa-utils, etc., and unmuted all channels with alsamixer. My user is in the audio group. I've also installed pulseaudio and started it with pulseaudio --start. The command speaker-test -c 2 does not make any sound. In pavucontrol (I'm using i3, but I don't think it matters), it shows my sound card and the jumping line that indicates something is playing sound on it. When I plug in headphones, they are detected and the sound device switches from speakers, but still no sound. hwinfo --sound displays this:

Yesterday I left my laptop turned on for maybe an hour, and sound started working, but only until the next reboot. Can anyone help?

I have Ubuntu 14.04.3 with kernel 3.16.0-48 installed on mini-PC Gigabyte GB-BXBT-2807. The chipset also integrates audio controller Realtek ALC283. I've been struggling to have my audio play over HDMI, with no luck.

Looking at detecting sound until some silence occurs , I arrived at the command rec recording.flac rate 32k silence -l 1 0.1 3% 1 3.0 3%. I realize my specific use would be somewhat different: I do want to record until some silence is detected, but I also want an upper limit, say 10-15 seconds, of how long the recording will go on before moving on. I can just prepend a timeout 15s command, which would give me a maximum speech time of (15 seconds - leading silence, which will vary), but is there some way to tell sox I only need the first x seconds of a recording, which would give me a maximum speech time of 15 secs regardless of leading silence?

I'm trying to route an audio signal from an Airplay source (with Shairport-sync) to Puredata. To do so, I created a Loopback Device in Alsa. Then I set this virtual device as Shairport's output like this (hw:2 is the loopback device) : shairplay-sync -a -Airplay -- -d hw:2 But when I try to set the loopback device as Puredata's input I get the following message : audio I/O stuck... closing audio I wondered if this issue could come from my .asoundrc file ? Here it is : # playback PCM device: using loopback subdevice 0,0 pcm.amix { type dmix ipc_key 219345 slave { pcm "hw:Loopback,0,0" period_size 1024 buffer_size 2048 rate 44100 } } # capture PCM device: using loopback subdevice 0,1 pcm.asnoop { type dsnoop ipc_key 219346 slave.pcm "hw:Loopback,0,1" } # duplex device combining our PCM devices defined above pcm.aduplex { type asym playback.pcm "amix" capture.pcm "asnoop" } # ------------------------------------------------------ # for jack alsa_in and alsa_out: looped-back signal at other ends pcm.ploop { type plug slave.pcm "hw:Loopback,1,1" } pcm.cloop { type dsnoop ipc_key 219348 slave { pcm "hw:Loopback,1,0" period_size 1024 buffer_size 2048 rate 44100 } } # ------------------------------------------------------ # default device pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "aduplex" } Should I add things about format or anything else ? FYI, the Loopback device works well when used with jack audio. Pure data too. I'd like not to use Jack because It looks like It uses too much ressources (I was not able to make Jack, Puredata and the loopback device work together, it crashes each time...) Thank you for the help!

I’ve wanted to connect a raspberry pi to a DAC for a while. I just bought a fosi k5 DAC which has USB, optical and coax inputs. But what’s the protocol that USB would stream the data in? How do you just start sending data down a USB? I imagine pulsing the gpio pins is probably not that difficult, but I’d rather just USB.

I've spent 2 hours on this and still can't figure this out. It's driving me insane. Please save my sanity. When I press mute, the pnmixer control in the top right shows that I've pressed mute, but the sound is not muted. A graphic also appears on my screen with a volume bar to show that the volume has been muted. When I press mute again, the pnmixer control shows that I have pressed the key, and **three** graphics appear on my screen in a row to show that I've pressed it. This doesn't make sense. No change in sound. With the volume up and volume down keys, the graphic changes accordingly but again no change in sound. I've tried editing rf.xml with the following: amixer set -q Master,0 5%+ amixer set -q Master,0 5%- amixer set -q Master,0 toggle I used xev to get the names of the key bindings. After reconfiguring or restarting openbox, or restarting my computer, this change in the script had no effect at all. Btw, uname -a gives me: Linux KGBXCrunch 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I run Mopidy as a service for my mpd because of the nice Spotify integration. I've followed the documentation's instructions to use it with pulseaudio by setting

load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1`

in my /etc/pulse/default.pa and

[audio]
output = pulsesink server=127.0.0.1

in my /etc/mopidy/modipy.conf.
All of this was working perfectly, however recently I've started using Pipewire as a replacement for PulseAudio on Arch Linux by following this and installing pipewire,pipewire-alsa, pipewire-pulse and pipewire-media-session. But now I've noticed that whenever I try to play any music nothing happens. I checked the journalctl for Mopidy and found this

I searched around and found the gst-plugin-pipewire package, but installing it didn't help at all. Apart from Mopidy, everything else audio-wise is working perfectly. If I could get some help with this I'd be thankful.

A fresh Mint is installed, and volume control shows "no cards available for configuration"; it's an Asus NUC 14 Essential connected via HDMI to a SONY television.

I have a JBL Bluetooth speaker. And usually it doesn't have a problem until my recent question earlier about [Bluetooth](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/676403/connecting-to-bluetooth-but-connection-failed-no-audio-endpoints-registered) :) And today's problem is my device is connected, but the device is not showing up in volume control. I try to reinstall blueman but it still not working. By the way, I'm dual booted my Linux with Win11. Please help me to resolve this issue, thank you :D  

I have an nvidia gtx 1050 running on debian 9. I have 2 external monitors, one through Display port and one through HDMI. Both monitors output the sound just fine, but only one at a time. Is there any way to combine sound for both digital outputs? I tried using Pulse audio preferences to add a virtual device, but that device is a bridger between the "Digital Ouput" (motherboard sound) and one of the HDMI outputs (whichever is currently enabled/active)

I would like to have a way of switching the audio output device (internal speakers/headphones to bluetooth speakers etc) by keyboard actions (which I usually can do without searching, finding and putting my glasses on my nose). Plasma tray elements can be activated with shortcuts, and thus I can connect, disconnect, switch between bluetooth devices by keyboard, because when the drop-down menu is visible, selection with arrow-keys and Enter to activate does the trick. But that doesn't work when trying to switch between audio devices themselves. I can bring forth the audio volume tray element with a shortcut: but further interaction by keyboard is limited to volume level. There is a widget called [audio device switcher](https://store.kde.org/p/1195707/) which brings the options more to the front, but its shortcut does nothing. Overall, it lacks keyboard interaction. The closest thing to what I want is to simply disable bluetooth by the first method *IF* that device is the one that is currently playing...

I'd like to run 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye on a Raspberry Pi 2B system headless, with it receiving audio from various sources (e.g. S/PDIF input from TV, through acting as a Bluetooth speaker, or via running Spotify), apply some filters and EQ (using PulseEffects for example), and output balanced audio to the XLR inputs of mains-powered studio monitors (using a Raspberry Pi DAC Pro for example). Hardware selection and software configuration for this is relatively straightforward. The speakers constantly draw a few watts from the mains, even when idle. It would be nice if I could automate switching power to them on or off depending on whether there's an audible signal being played or not. I could easily build an analog level detection circuit for the task, but I wonder if it's possible to achieve the same in software. I've looked into ALSA documentation (https://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/) for a few hours, but I'm in over my head. Searching for similar questions from the past revealed two old yet relevant threads, but unfortunately they lack a satisfactory answer.

"internal microphone" in Alsamixer is not muted, and is set to the highest possible volume.
