Abbreviations violate the uniqueness of nicknames with all the ensuing consequences.

@ralph.ronnquist
It's about my own time.
I don't want to sit there deciphering unnecessary abbreviations and guessing who was mentioned.
I would like to see a clear decision from the administrators on this issue.

Sorry for the off-topic, but the Babylonian Clash started in a similar way.

P.S. Couldn't there be another user named @rrq?

Did @ralph.ronnquist himself allow you to distort his nickname?

Will be interesting to hear other forum members feedback about your manipulations to "have it your way".

First of all, this is a consequence of upbringing.
When coming to visit, adhere to the rules and customs of the hosts.

A troll will sometimes say something like this, I never thought of it myself

I didn't notice any problems on home computers.

If you do not believe my words, why should I believe yours?

I asked you to post information that I had repeatedly posted myself for my system.
But I don’t care at all, I’ll leave it at that.

#8 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-21 17:37:11

I also do not have sound devices defined in the Firefox settings (about:support).
And, nevertheless, sound works with "pure alsa".

These are again just words. Screenshot, as in my thread at the link above, details (output of the corresponding bash commands) of the operating system in the studio.

My post #4

What our posts have in common is that they have nothing to do with this forum itself, the forum of the Devuan distribution, and your links and advice on proprietary formats and paid resamples in no way correspond to Freedom Hacks, as I understand it.

#10 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-21 16:12:26

If you start a new topic, and I will try to help.

Thank you very much, no help needed.

What does bad manners have to do with it?
Look through the forum, I asked for advice about sound in Firefox. With pure alsa, the sound was everywhere, except for the browser, which “did not see” the sound system. Either pipewire or jack was required.
I have 5 different computers at home with the same Linux and DE and the sound settings are different for everyone.

#12 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-21 11:20:29

Just words without any objective data, measurements, etc.
And about “pulseaudio and/or pipewire” - this is nonsense. Their necessity is determined by specific conditions, sound card, BIOS, etc.

#13 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-21 08:14:32

Have you tried it yourself?
You won't improve anything and you won't hear any difference from resampling your favorite Petrov.
Empty chatter.

@zapper
Man, are you in a bad mood?
You came to visit the forum, caused a scandal, piled up crap, it’s just right to put the “+18” mark, the big “I” doesn’t allow you to say “forgive the scoundrel”?

#15 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-21 05:22:11

No not like this.

The generally accepted approach in such cases is for the user to state the premises, check it himself and report his impressions.
Check your assumptions yourself and don’t hesitate to let us know about your result.

If you don't have the appropriate hardware, just compare the sound of two 48 kHz files, one original, the other resampled from a file with a different sampling rate.

And inviting others to check their toys is bad manners, I think so.

#16 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-20 12:55:10

For God's sake, I don't want to disturb you at all.
Through Audigy2 I do not hear any difference when playing wav files of 192 and 48 kHz  (square wave generated by Audacity) . Obviously, the hardware (bandwidth) neutralizes the differences and there is no escape from this.

#17 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-20 10:34:57

the Gibbs phenomenon may not produce audible sound distortions with downsampling.

Instead of assumptions and fortune-telling, take it and listen. Not necessarily at a sampling frequency of 384 KHz; if there is an effect, it will be noticeable at any one. You can do this with any signal; with a rectangle it’s easier to hear.

#18 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-20 04:43:29

@zapper
Being a lazy user, I copied and ran all their Debian commands.
Then I opened their repository in the browser and adjusted the link to the repository in Synaptic.
By default, “Devuan” copies there, naturally.

#19 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-20 04:24:15

If you want to discuss something else, you may start a new topic.

If the original wave is 32bit Float 384kHz DXD, and it is a sort of music recording, it is not likely to have very big "jump discontinuities", and, therefore, the Gibbs phenomenon may not produce audible sound distortions with downsampling. It depends, of course, on the quality of resampler as well.

How can you be left unattended?
You'll step on every mistake! smile

First, let's try to get at least some practical result from your idea and move from fortune-telling to facts.
To do this, you need to select the sampling frequencies available to your sound card. Then you can simply play them back and hear the difference. And you can make this accessible to everyone if you select 48 kHz and change it twice, to, for example, 192 and back to 48. Any card has 48 kHz and everyone can hear the differences.

And secondly, if you put in your own words all the mathematics that is crammed into the wiki article, then everything is simple. A rectangular pulse is the sum of an infinite number of sinusoids with all possible frequencies. But the upper frequency of the card is limited by its bandwidth (usually a little more than 20 kHz), so we get not a rectangle, but a trapezoid (we have a front with a non-zero duration) and a “comb”.

By the way, the number of harmonics will be determined by the selected pulse frequency and bandwidth; for 1 kHz and 20 kHz the upper one will be the 20th.
Therefore, the real signal at the output of the card will be different from the “virtual” one that the computer will show in gnuplot.

#21 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-19 02:33:23

Have you ever heard this recording played from a gramophone record?
(Have you ever listened to vinyl?)

It's time to save you, your long-term struggle against pulseaudio is making itself felt. The contemplation of rectangles has now been added to writing out directions to the doctor. smile

What our posts have in common is that they have nothing to do with this forum itself, the forum of the Devuan distribution, and your links and advice on proprietary formats and paid resamples in no way correspond to Freedom Hacks, as I understand it.

P.S. I might add, your questions and my answers don't make much sense.

We need a point of reference, no matter how much I “sang Caruso,” if you haven’t heard Hi-End sound with a modified CD, with a sampling frequency of only 44.1 kHz, when “Valkyries really fly” and the performer can be “touched” in space, when you hear all 16 bits and the atmosphere of the hall, you simply have nothing to compare with. A regular computer, even at 384 kHz, is very far from this level.

You can play with Audiocity and copy links to commercial startups, but they have no practical meaning.

#22 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-18 18:33:10

Recorded over 50 years ago. It's much more enjoyable to listen to than rectangles. Without any bells and whistles.

Yeah, “that Caruso is nonsense, my neighbor sang it to me yesterday...” smile

You're all talking about these, of course not.
