| 19:02 | < abudhabi_> | Anyone experienced with sound servers? |
| 19:03 | < abudhabi_> | I want to capture the microphone from a ubuntu-derivative machine and send it over LAN to another ubuntu-derivative machine. |
| 19:20 | < abudhabi_> | Hmm. Maybe there's a simpler method. |
| 19:21 | < abudhabi_> | I have nomachine remoting set up, and this can redirect remote host sound to the client. |
| 19:23 | < abudhabi_> | Just need to route microphone input to speakers. |
| 19:23 | < abudhabi_> | Like in a mic test. |
| 19:58 | < abudhabi_> | Well, I sort of managed it. |
| 19:58 | < abudhabi_> | Except the quality is a choice between "bad" and "worse". |
| 20:15 | < abudhabi_> | Hmm. Echo cancellation doesn't seem compatible with the loopback + remote capture. |

| 21:01 | < abudhabi_> | The persistent buzzing/static noise is maddening. |
| 21:02 | < abudhabi_> | Doesn't respond to change in USB ports, change in microphones, change in positioning (it's apparently not the laptop fan). |
| 21:08 | < abudhabi_> | Ugh. I give up. |
| 21:09 | < abudhabi_> | Gramps will have to relearn how to use a stationary phone to call me up. |
| 21:13 | <&Reiver> | hn |
| 21:13 | <&Reiver> | I have no expertise sorry, comrade |
| 21:14 | <&Reiver> | This sort of dark Linux wizardry is more a ToxicFrog thing |
| 21:17 | <&ToxicFrog> | I've never done this sort of multimachine audio stuff, sorry |

| 21:18 | < abudhabi_> | NP. |
| 21:18 | < abudhabi_> | I've reanalyzed the problem and I think I have an alternative solution that's superior. |
| 21:19 | < abudhabi_> | I just gotta find the two-piece radio doorbell and button. |
| 21:19 | < abudhabi_> | "You rang, gramps?" :D |

| 21:29 | < abudhabi_> | Dang it. It's either got too low range, or the unusual battery is low on gas. |
| 21:40 | <&Reiver> | What are you trying to solve? |
| 21:45 | < abudhabi_> | Gramps broke a leg and needs to call for help. My office, where I work, is behind a few walls. |
| 22:08 | <&Reiver> | ah geez |
| 22:08 | <&Reiver> | Yeah okay |
| 22:09 | <&Reiver> | Walls might impact your ability to get wireless signal, hm |
| 22:09 | <&Reiver> | I take it he's not up to learning how to use, like, a voice chat on a cellphone or something |
| 22:10 | <&Reiver> | Could leave, like, whatsapp or a Teamspeak equivalent or something running maybe, routing signal to your own 'call' elsewhere |
| 22:10 | | * Reiver remembers the days when he'd leave Teamspeak running for hours at a time. |
| 22:18 | < abudhabi_> | I might try a different device that doesn't have the buzzing problem. The issue with that it's that these things are resource hogs, and I need those resources to work. |
| 22:18 | <&Reiver> | That's fair |
| 22:18 | <&Reiver> | I would be inclined to look into TeamSpeak with my own knowledge base, because I know it can have, eg, bitrate explicitly configured |
| 22:18 | < abudhabi_> | I need both resources and peace and quiet. If I can get the doorbell to punch through a ceiling and some walls, that's greate. |
| 22:19 | <&Reiver> | Yeah, that wouldn't be unreasonable |
| 22:19 | <&McMartin> | I don't suppose you can set up a custom discord server |
| 22:19 | <&McMartin> | That would let him send you ping alerts from his phone easily enough |
| 22:19 | < abudhabi_> | Gramps is unfortunately losing his mentation. He used to be able to use a stationary phone with large buttons. But now he says he can't *see* the buttons. |
| 22:20 | <&Reiver> | alas, yeah |
| 22:20 | < abudhabi_> | He also can't properly hear volumes under a shout. |
| 22:20 | <&Reiver> | A doorbell gives him 'one' button |
| 22:20 | < abudhabi_> | Yes. |
| 22:20 | <&Reiver> | After that you're into baby monitor territory. |
| 22:20 | <&Reiver> | (Or permarunning Teamspeak equivalents.) |
