To, The Team Debian-User, debian-user@lists.debian.org, Debian.org My dear illustrious Team Leaders, Good morning. Model (India): Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15ISK 80XH01FKIN 15.6-inch Laptop (6th Gen Core i3-6006U/4GB/2TB/Integrated Graphics), Platinum Grey The OSes are Debian (Stretch) 9.11.0 Lxde and Knoppix 8.6.0, in 64-bit operation. All details/specifications of my used Lenovo laptop are also in the Debian Forums post (to avoid clutter and maintain centralised notes). http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=146606&p=722991 I am searching for Realtek audio drivers for Linux for the Hardware details: "Lenovo ideapad 320-15ISK" LNVNB161216, and "Realtek Audio_6.0.1.8652.A.",otherwise, I am afraid that the audio won't be be to operate in duplex mode, i.e., won't record audio while playing it. I have posted the topic in Debian Forum here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=149074, but as said earlier too, it is difficult to find solution in the Debian forum. I assure you that, as always, I shall post a [Solved] reply in the Debian Forums at the end of this experience for future users. Regards, Rajib Bandopadhyay A dedicated Debian and Knoppix user

Thank you for replying to my query. Expectation is enabling Duplex audio. Record while playing AV stream. With pulseaudio Volume Control. Isn't possible presently. If possible, could this link be looked at please?: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=146840 Any suggestion, except upgrading from Stretch? When Buster reaches End of Active Update (i.e., becomes oldstable), then Stretch shall be updated to Buster. Best

I recall I had to compile 12 to get things working there. It is your choice however. It looks like you have to wait for couple of months regards

It's meant to give benefits, but can add undesired complexity. So I generally stick with ALSA. The downside, though, is that although alsamixer may show that there's a Capture device (slider) in the Capture (F4) window, it will only record sounds from the Microphone, and not from, say, the browser. Most of the time, this doesn't matter, as I have developed several techniques over the years for capturing Transport Stream files from the cache, and assembling them into seamless live video, and even slurping files out of the browser's /proc/<PID>/fd thingies when youtube_dl fails to download a video. But nowadays, there are some audio links that play quite happily without leaving any trace that I can find. Which leaves only the option of recording the soundcard output. Some computers have both LineOut and LineIn, and these can be connected together, but that's not a very good solution in terms of noise. My latest acquisition, a Dell Precision T3500, fell into my lap just as my old Pentium III (Yamaha ymf740c) expired, and has the similar ability to record from the browser (I suppose that's the PCM). It's as tedious as recording from, say, vinyl, as you have to top, tail, and possibly split all the recordings you make. There's also the business of setting levels, and so on; all unnecessary operations if only you could grab the digital output. But it's the best I can manage. Fortunately I haven't met this problem with videos that I want, only audio recordings. Any idea what technologies are being used by these websites? I don't want to give examples as I'm not sure they condone recording their output, and some of the credentials I use are decidedly ancient and technically should have been expired. (I think of myself as a visiting alumnus.) > You should describe what you are doing. I doubt PA has to do something with > that. I've read that PA is supposed to be able to make connections in software that aren't offered by the hardware, rather like JACK is also meant to do. I'm guessing that might be the OP's interest. > What applications and how are they accessing your audio device. In my case, that's FF. I sometimes read here that FF needs PA to produce sound from webpages, but I've never found that to be so. I do usually have to fiddle with magic spells to share ALSA (with ~/.alsa-configs/asound.conf), allowing two users' browsers (FF), and their own mpv programs, all to play videos simultaneously on one Xserver. (IOW an almighty cacophony.) I hope my use case is close enough to the OP's to be a useful sidebar. Cheers, David.

I must admit that I haven't looked at ALSA for quite some years and
I consider computers to be devices which should ideally stay silent, so
my knowledge of audio is quite limited, but I've recorded the "Monitor"
of the output with good success when recording a Jitsi session (using
`vokoscreen`, IIRC).
Admittedly, I was using pulseaudio, so maybe this is a PA feature not
available in ALSA?

The slave screen is as yet unpackaged, and we only use the device for playing CDs. Everything else comes off a computer, connected either to hifi (3.5mm) or a TV (HDMI, or via USB). > so > my knowledge of audio is quite limited, but I've recorded the "Monitor" > of the output with good success when recording a Jitsi session (using > `vokoscreen`, IIRC). AFAICT, for video, that just records the screen. I do that with Shift-Alt-F12 start, Shift-Alt-F11 stop (fvwm bindings to customised ffmpeg commands). But the disadvantages of that method (it gets polluted by all sorts of screen clutter, it's uses up CPU, you're recording a resampled image) is precisely why I steal from the browser's cache. The image is at the original resolution, it's as clean as when it arrives from the site, it just copies files with cp, so it doesn't load the CPU. > Admittedly, I was using pulseaudio, so maybe this is a PA feature not > available in ALSA? That's my point: you might have it, but perhaps not. Stealing from the cache solves this problem, as you normally get Transport Stream segments of Audio/Video, or you get MPEG transport streams with the streams in separate files. Most sites put start times on the segments, a few don't. That makes assembly trickier, particularly for audio because video is easier to check for glitches. (Often, there are time codes within frame, too.) So, yes, PA may be a solution for recording the audio, both standalone, and when the screen is being captured simultaneously. But I've still no idea of what this new, cache-less technology is that browsers play. Cheers, David.

Indeed, I wish I could just use a "dumb-client" for Jitsi which just
dumps the data it receives with proper meta-info to keep things in sync,
that would avoid the uncompress+recompress of video which is too
taxing CPU-wise for my older machines.

I'd expect they simply skip the "save to disk" part and use an in-memory
buffer instead, which is probably simpler and arguably more efficient
(as long as that buffer doesn't grow too large).

No, driver goes with kernel - you need newer kernel that has better driver - but it is not guaranteed that newer kernel has better driver - you have to find it yourself. I wonder why you just don't use the youtube-dl and pass the video trough ffmpeg to get the audio out? The images you posted suppose you want to mix the output of the videostream with output of the microphone. I don't know if this is possible in pulseaudio. I used rosegarden couple of times or other audio mixer applications (like jackd)

No, that is about recording audio stream as an audio file. Mic is muted, had you noticed carefully. My other HP laptop does this seamlessly.

Yes, I have begun to understand this over my conversations with my brilliant team leaders. Now what this entails is to be guided to run some prescribed tests on my laptop, particularly for the package pulseaudio, and file the outputs of those tests as a Bug Report. So that the problems are addressed in the next edition of the current Release. Moreover, the problems associated with pulseaudio would go way on this package's next release, only if a Bug Report is filed. > So you might want to rephrase your question (and change the title) in > terms of "how do I do <foo> with pulseaudio". ... ...

Moreover, I had also written to Mr. David Wright personally to guide me on his experiences with alsa, so that I could fall back on alsa for the time being. If I am happy with the outcome, I could continue using alsa instead of pulseaudio. Best.

As mentioned I recall PA was v11 in stretch and it was awfully buggy. Try a USB live/stick and try reproducing it on newer PA version. then come back with results

I was asked to share this technique of stealing files from the FF browser's cache, so I've attached the script that I use. I normally browse sites as a different user (named flash for historical reasons), so a typical invocation command line looks like: $ sudo -u flash /home/flash/bin/steal-from-cache.sh /home/flash/.cache/mozilla/firefox/jzq80501.default/cache2/entries/ /tmp/.0flashcache The directories firefox/jzq80501.default/ will obviously need adjustment. In my own case, even */*/ would suffice, as the flash "user" only runs one browser in one profile. There are several idiosyncrasies: The script sets file permissions to world-writeable so that I can steal the swag from user flash. The filenames are formatted to be readable but short. If you delete the file that stops it (Target/0), it only actually stops when the next file triggers. The program chatters as it captures files, so that you know whether at least your end of the process is working. It can sometimes capture and timestamp files in the wrong order (particularly when starting), or copy duplicates, so the internal times should always be used, where available, for assembling a set of files. Finally, you might not capture much if you don't have this in your magic file: # MPEG Transport Stream (MPEG-2 Part 1) and perhaps others 0 string G >0xBC string G >>0x178 string G >>>0x234 string G >>>>0x2F0 string G >>>>>0x3AC string G >>>>>>0x468 string G TS transport stream Cheers, David.

What is the point of waiting ~2 additional years for stable to become oldstable? Few bugs (if any) besides security bugs are fixed in stable, and oldstable has full security support only one year after the stable release.

My understanding is that you expect the feature you need to come from
the audio driver, but IIUC in systems like Debian, this kind of feature
is actually provided independently from the hardware's driver.
IOW your problem is not with the Realtek audio drivers but with the
audio system you're using on top of it (presumably pulseaudio).
So you might want to rephrase your question (and change the title) in
terms of "how do I do <foo> with pulseaudio".
