#1 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Linux Audio for the hard of hearing » 2026-01-21 18:09:09
still having these issues with volume & understandability
now have tested this video with 3 different setting
https://davidicke.com/2026/01/21/im-her … el-farage/
1. | windows 10 | dolby audio "on"
2. | windows 10 | dolby audio "off"
3. | devuan linux 6/7 | alsa audio
the quality is from top down, not from boottom down to up;
with 1 hear best, 2 , 3 are very poor;
but even with with option 1, cannot understand the last passage;
maybe someone here can help me outù'?
the passage is at the very end "you know what - "unintelliglbe"?"
thank you very much.
(PS. with windows 7 there was a setting to really boost audio, but those setting have been disabled for windows 10 ; now it is "dolby audio" ; sometimes it sound great, sometime however not so much, and in this case, it is not sufficient to understand clearly.

mybe it is supposed to be that way, better safe than sorry, as it has been kindly warned here on other important post in the forum
(biological danger of eq and volume)
since am already damaged from bad listening habits in youth (in-ear headphone with too much volume)
consider it a fault on my side (mostly)
and play safe to get the hearing curve more training;
had already other linux laptop
(my second-last laptop from around 2012 came with linux-enabled (chinese)) and had the same problem back then (poor audio-quality from speaker)
(maybe because tend to use office-style laptop)
and at the time came out ubuntu 12.04 which the seller tucked along with the sale and ended up using "pavucontrol" before ridding the system completely of pulseaudio; but the audio was always bit low-volume, sometimes too low.
beffore, used powerbook g4 and although one speaker or microphone was bad, never had such volume issues;
(on mac os x tiger on previous iteration there was also handy feature to boost volume in quicktime playback inside finder)
even before, used windows 2000 professional, and also then never noticed such issues;
but maybe, just my hearing deteriorated, so it is bit unfair to "target" linux that hard;

Hello ,
have installed on the main laptop the Devuan Testing
and it seem function just fine;
however, nearly ever other day am receiving update to the laptop,
and for now , just tuckin along with them.
Today, got the alarm ring, now should i be concerned?
In all those packages, there is listed
libpulse-dev libpulse0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libpulsedspnow , will installing these packages "break" the (supposed) alsa-only setup,
or has it already been compromised??
thank you very much.

#5 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Behringer UMC204HD with Devuan Excalibur install and Alsa. » 2026-01-20 06:55:51
would not be too surprised if the Behringer USB device is achieving not such high volume;
have collected several firewire device off Ebay (Mbox) which sound great if can get to function with older computer (mac) ,
however, one low-cost-usb audio device on the same computer with same studio monitor sound just really different and volume is also low, but that is not a problem since the monitors are both actively powered.
Behringer is proably no-low-cost device, but entry-lvel usb, since other known brand might cost double the price for similar task (sapphire);
if then you use on Linux instead of Mac, then would fully expect that the situation could become interesting, but also one could expect less-than-stellar audio oob; hope you can get it function satisfactorly.
the app that has been shared here #arateconf has helped a lot with configuring laptop with alsa, but still learning on ways to improve hearing the nuances.

#7 Desktop and Multimedia » Linux Audio for the hard of hearing » 2026-01-08 20:02:34

Hello ,
have noticed since long that the Linux experience on Laptop is bit hard to swallow;
the problem is with office lapòtop of various kind
that use randomly;
now this Laptop has dual-boot Windows 10 - Devuan 7.0
and it functions reasonalby well;
however , the audio is still subpar;
whenever listen to various podcast, sometime cannot grasp the meaning of spoken word, since volume is too low.
Understand that the Windows 10 has dedicated drivers (Atmos enabled?) and sound very much better;
but does the Linux Audio really need to sound that thin?
It is a good experience to sharpen the listening curve,
but sometimes it is overwhelming;
now with program like
vlc > can boost to 200%
mpv > can boost to 130%
however, with normal audio being played throught browser or social media app, there is not much space left.
the linux is already alsa-only enabled, and volume is 100%.
Is there an easy way to "boost" the volume on Linux or what can be done to enhance the experience (badly needed on LInux desktop).
Thank you very much.
#8 Re: ARM Builds » excalibur image for original rpi? » 2026-01-05 20:10:33
are you sure you wannaa run excalibur on it'?
happen to have one too,
and everything newer than wheezy seemed ultra -slow to me;
maybe you could find an other use for it?
mine sits idly at the moment, but with the (paid)(license) for mpeg2 .codec it still perform well for libreelec and tv channels,
or better yet,
volumio, which found receently, and like a lot. (needs no license at all).
#9 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Chimaera started freezing completely under certain occasions » 2025-12-31 21:42:55
you still could check if on the windows 7 side you have similar problems;
on myz fujutsu am practically stuck with w7 (next to linux) since with w10 it would immediatelz crash thanks to a buggy nvidia-card or driver issues; on windows 7 it is quite rock-stable only would shutdown if would tax the nvidia-graphics heavy heavily which i don't , but with win10 it would crash immedtaley.
EDIT: ah sorry, crosspost, the laptop in question is still running devuan 3.0, not devuan 4.0; (thanks to nvidia-driver issues).
#10 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Chimaera started freezing completely under certain occasions » 2025-12-31 18:30:53
one good thing about those older laptop is that often the CPUs are socketed;
if you happen to open the laptop for inspection, you could wish for a faster CPU;
have upgraded several laptop, also one running Chimaera (fujitsu) , that one from a dual-core to a quad-core cpu;
it had howeever already a tast T9900 cpu installed;
the T4300 is probably a bit lame (please dont take it personally) for 2026,
you could check your specs and see if it would accept the highest rated CPU it once shipped with (maybe it could be T7500 or simiilar)
best wishes.

it seems was little bit too enthusiastic with 2usbimager since it seem not read reliably the sdcard for cloning;
balena etcher was able to clone sd-card to a bigger sized one with no issues;
(maybe the read-command functions only with drives that have no-multi-partition, not with ones like contains libreelec)
#13 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [SOLVED] printer » 2025-12-18 12:01:31
@gfp, have you tried uninstall "ipp-usb" and then initialize the procedure as shared by fsmithred?
EDIT:
was able to print succesfully on an old 970CXI Deskjet that bought maybe 25-26 year ago just with
localhost:631 > add printer > local printer (970cx) > connecton (insert the found out Device URI: usb://HP/DESKJET%20970C?serial=ES08S1D183LM) > select driver from list > HP > Deskjet 970c > complete setup and options
it would print instantly when issued command (but has no more or dried ink).

one more info that may or may not help yoiu
actually had a problem with the usb cable (amon other issues) sometime ago;
it really can be usb cable can be somewhat faulty; after changing the usb cable to another one, anchors away.
(there was other issue with setting up the kprinter initially over usb instead of ethernet/wifi on windows; but thats a whole other issue and specific epson-software related;)

Are you using Daedalus or an earlier version of Devuan?
it has been ably written from daedalus box;
however , could now install it (ubuntu25.10)
it seems picky with copied over .iso?
just copied over from NAS latest ubuntu 26.04 and got error when using the isoimagewriter.
if could vote, would still +1 for usbimager; but the mintstick is perfectly fine atm since can use;
but who will find it in the repos?
#17 Re: Packaging for Devuan » (request) including of USBimager » 2025-12-16 17:09:19
greenjean,
turned out did it wrong; was passing along the path of iso and expecting it is already set-up for ; but just found out that i just have to "select" the ISO once more and then the stick becomes visible;
so it seems even GUI-tooling is not always "foolproof" for newbies alike;
could the called "solved" since the item does include the two sought-for functionalities in a rather handy way, although it has some "entry" barriers (format usb need to called from terminal)
+1 still for USBimager, in soem regard; but it lacks the format option, is therefore not fully complete.
(but can also read images for backup)
thanksalot.
#18 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [SOLVED] printer » 2025-12-16 16:28:36
as sadi, could not help yoiu excatly with HP printer,
but the adress in case you needed to insert it manually under "HP Printer" should be according to your data shared
usb://HP/Officejet%20J4500%20series?serial=CN92G561F4052T&interface=1EDIT: the cups interface is somewhat borked;
previously it needed sometimes to be amended manually via settings; lately it seems that you could no longer manually edit it or that it gets overriden if you set other options;
i have used this guide here in the past to get cups to function more reliably on a variety of computers; it is an older post, but it still could provide useful info you might wanna test if it makes a differeence.

sudo apt install isoimagewriter
E: Unable to locate package isoimagewriterthanks @greenjeans,
mintstick is such a program as i was looking for!
however, it would not recognize the usb-stick for when writing iso, however it would recognize it when trying to format usb-stick?
#20 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [SOLVED] printer » 2025-12-16 11:32:44
hello , provided i dont use "gnuios" and have a different printer "epson ecotank"
would allow to describe the steps that needed to take to enable printing over usb with later devuan 6.
i think the issues on my end here are related to things cups and how debian or however decided to go "driverless" since it used to function quite easily on earlier edition of debian/devuan.
in fact there is a warning in cups that says "printer drivers are being deprecated in future version of cups" but for the moment it still seem to function well, once the setup is achieved;
now the printer i have has 3 connection possible, over USB - Ethernet - Wifi;
have tested only usb and ethernet, since i dont use Wifi.
Ethernnet functions, but usb is best since it has very minor delay from whence print command is issued to actual printing.
if you use an earlier version of devuan (like devuan 4) these steps might not apply.
have tried to setup the printer via "systemm settings" many times on linux, but it just wouldnot function realibly.
so what i did was.
1. download the correct printer drivers from epson > install them (this was also difficult in the past due to debian/devuan no longer shipping lsb, but with newer version of driver is no longer needed)
2. go to "localhost:631" > enter username : password (current user and userpassword on linux)
3. go tab "administration" > "add printer" > now if lucky, would find printer under "local printers" but mostly it would not show up in newer edition of linux (although the correct driver installed".
4. now would uninstall pacakge "ipp-usb" via terminal and refresh the site localhost:631
5. printer should now be listed on "local printers"
6. you should be able to add printer with the local adress etc. and select your printer package in cups.
7 however, sometimes this would not function since cups would not pickup the correct adress like
dnssd://EPSON%20ET-5170%20Series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=nte92100-67c4-11d4-a45f-e0bb9abcd1234
then it would need to find out the adress manually
you could do this by evoking command
8. sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
this should give the correct adress the usb connection sits on; you would neeed to enter this in the respective field in cups when "adding printer" "local printer".
if this does not function, you could also miss package, like
libcupsimage2-dev
you chould test if this function for you, and you can always re-install "ipp-usb" if you want to reset the functionality of your devuan/debian to the "original" state as delivered.
for me, this has provided a "reather" stable connection over usb, but sometimes the ipp-usb got resinstalled during update, so i needed to check if it would not print any longer.
best of luck.

yes, i have tried them , and found them easy to use to the point of being "dangerously" easy to use.
tried both .deb and they would install on devuan 6 , and function , and needed to include some more packages.
it would be nice if they could be installed via devuan repository.
it is good practice to offer help via GUI for less tech-savy users and newbies.
always found it difficult to use the inbuilt-tools for making bootable usb-sticks.
(maybe with excaption of linux-mint, but digress)
thanks.

Hello ,
i am kindly requesting including of 1 or 2 package into Devuan
since it is harder to use "mkusb" program on Devuan/Debian nowadys;
have tried several program and they seem function well, and it seems such a program is missing in Devuan?
it is very handy and function without friction;
one is called "USBImager" - another which could be used to format SDcard or USB to standard FAT32 aswell, is called "ddCopy"
thank you very much.
#24 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » slow file copy / nvme-to-nvme / devuan linux? » 2025-12-12 11:08:37
thanks for all the help,
this time must have gotten it all wrong, somehow;
on NAS side for probably employed the lowest of the low of NVME; but still not sure if it helps with the task at hand or rather impedes it;
what i noticed was that after adding the write/read cache the 4k video would playback without buffering , as were otherwise it sometimes would need to buffer.
the internal file copy NVME to NVME is still mystery;
one NVME should according to specs be DRAM-cache-less (980), the other has DRAM-cache (Fury), so it seems faster to copy/write from DRAM-less to NVME with DRAM;
besides, there must be other things going one,
since the copy/write starts stalling after around 5GB, and according to test the 980 should not be such a negative performer
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sams … -tb/6.html
the mainboard itself is X670 - entry level - that i choose because it was one of only with PS/2 AND without Wi-Fi chip since would like to use the one and not the other.
but probably, the mainboard is wired somehow that it has brakes onto the internal filecopy NVME to NVME;
the mainboard has the latest BIOS applied;
sorry , but have not other explanation for the moment;

altoid ,
i trust that you understood me correctly, and
would know of difference between usb and nvme drives.
however have no gatekeeper or bitolocker installed;
my experience with this motherboard vendor has been mixed;
but what comes in mind is the "filesystem" > ext4 since have noticed a similar pattern when copy files from nvme to NAS (which has 2 nvme for read/write caching inplace) and has also the ext4 filesystem;
maybe the other option "btrfs" or whatever is called would perform more adequately?
can hardly believe that this is just due to the tlc/qlc cache on drive being depleted so rapidly.
thanks for any insight.
