Taffer 🇨🇦 :godot:<p>I've got a couple of HEOS-supporting devices from Denon, which also support AirPlay. I wanted to be able to play audio from my laptop (EndeavourOS; aka Arch, BTW).</p><p>*Finding* the info was harder than setting it up: <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Streaming_audio_to_an_AirPlay_receiver" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeW</span><span class="invisible">ire#Streaming_audio_to_an_AirPlay_receiver</span></a></p><p>As soon as I followed that, my HEOS devices showed up as audio devices in the sound settings. Looks like they vanish when the devices go to sleep though, so I have to figure that out.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/heos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>heos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/denon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>denon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/airplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>airplay</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/pipewire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pipewire</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/arch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/endeavouros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>endeavouros</span></a></p>

Now how to send MIDI Clock? Oh Hydrogen cannot send MIDI clock. </p><p>I need jack_midi_clock to get MIDI Clock from the general Jack Transport.

Or perhaps it does but I can't see, since the synth's arpeggiator stops when transport plays and continues playing when transport stops.</p><p>This is getting weird.</p><p>Now I have lost my idea for the drum pattern, so I'm giving up on making music for today.

Yes, that sounds likely. <br>It's just weird it only happens once on the first iteration. Thereafter, no matter how many times I let the system idle over the many days/weeks of system uptime, it works fine so long as I restart pulseaudio user daemon just the one time.</p><p>There are no logs anywhere that show the issue, just the CPU activity observation against the xfce wrapper for the panel.</p><p>Perhaps it only affects some systems like <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>debian</span></a> because it doesn't yet use <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/pipewire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pipewire</span></a> for audio within the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xfce</span></a> desktop.</p><p>I know the fix, so can work around this for now. I'll see if I can do more investigation on next reboot and determine if I have enough information to be able to log a bug that is sufficiently detailed for someone to debug properly.</p>

🥁 Exciting news, once again! I have just registered as a speaker for the Open Source Summit Europe, which is taking place in Amsterdam on the 25th - 27th of August!

🗣️ This time I will be speaking about how Bluetooth LE Audio & Auracast functionality can be implemented on embedded Linux devices using open source software: BlueZ and PipeWire. Don't miss it!

It's hard to describe how far superior the modern #Linux audio system #Pipewire is for streaming over what Windows provides.
Through GUIs like Helvum you literally got a powerful patchpanel, and there's no audible latency or quality degradation even when chaining or splitting multiple device out- or inputs (both physical or virtual).

To do the same on Windows is an absolute pain.
