I've just Replaygained several of my Vorbis albums with Vorbisgain, ranging from 80's metal to present day soft rock. What I don't understand is why does Vorbisgain actually make all tracks QUIETER? I see an average of -7db on most albums. And after that, not only are they substantially quieter than my MP3s (which is a pain), but it also fails to really "even out" the volume. I understand that a 1984 metal album is naturally going to be quieter than 1995 punk rock, but I was expect...

Various patches to make supermin quieter. By outputting fewer messages on the fast path, we use the slow emulated UART less, and this improves boot times. Also remove some kernel modules that we cannot or should not be using, which also improves boot times. Rich.

I have a GeForce 8800GT that I am trying to lower the fan speed on. I can change the fan RPM from high to not-as-high but I want more control over it. It is too loud and it was quieter with the blob. Maybe the temps are too high to make it quieter. # echo 1 >/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.0/i2c-6/6-002e/pwm1_enable # sensors fam15h_power-pci-00c4 Adapter: PCI adapter power1: 89.28 W (crit = 95.01 W) k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1:...

Hi, I've installed the debian package of these ups tools and everything looks good. debian:/var/log# upsdrvctl -h Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.1 (Though I'll have to wait for a quieter time to pull the plug and test it.) debian:/var/log# ls -l `which upsdrvctl` -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18232 Sep 22 2005 /sbin/upsdrvctl I notice that upsdrvctl is exectuable by anyone. Does that mean that anyone with shell access to the server can "upsdrvctl shutdown" ?...

...ntaining different types of gain tag to a similar overall loudness. Admittedly this isn't common. Files using the original replaygain algorithm with a reference loudness of 83dB are now very rare, but R128 tags are starting to show up (eg. in Opus) and these play at a significantly different (quieter) level to tracks adjusted with the 89dB reference loudness tags. However the volume changes between the two different tagging systems are so dramatic that it is helpful to provide an automatic method of normalising them at least approximately. While adding the option for R128 gain into metaflac (...

I have an X100p card....and it is hard to hear the person on the other end. Should I mess with these values? I have heard both yes and no to this question in the past. If yes, how much louder should I make them? Thanks, MIchael

...t? Despite looking through the zaptel source code, I couldn't find anywhere that screamed "I'm the volume your phones ring at". Just a lot of scary numbers in zonedata.c, and cryptic comments in tone_zone.h Could someone suggest how I'd go about making the zap ring volume quieter? Thanks Nick

...with a variety of gain levels and training times, and with both trunk and 1.2 branch versions of Zaptel, Libpre, and Asterisk. In all cases, callers from the PSTN hear their own voice echoed back after 1.5-2 seconds; none of these adjustments made a difference, except adjusting gain made the echo quieter. We followed these instructions in trying to eliminate echo: http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/content/docbook/current/docs-html/x1695.html Our lines come in from the telco in a PRI, then connect to a Tadiran switch which hands the lines off to Asterisk over a T1 card. We have...

When I just copy the microphone input buffer to the output buffer the sound plays OK. But if I encode and decode the buffer through Speex I get a high pitched constant tone in the background. I actually do hear my voice speaking when I talk, but it's faint and much quieter than the tone. Here's what my data looks like: Input is the first 5 floats of each input buffer. Output is after Speex runs on it. Input: 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 -0.000 Out: -0.029 -0.008 0.020 0.018 -0.001 Input: 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 Out: -0.029 -0.008 0.020 0.018 -0.001 Input: -0....

...e to thinking. Bit of background. I have an old Dual Athlon MP2800+ that I'm using for a home web/file server. It runs fine but between the noise of the various fans and it's location in the living room, I've been asked by my spouse to find a replacement for it that's smaller & quieter. Looking at the Thecus, and based on experience with Atom based Mini-ITX systems at work, I was thinking about rolling my own. My questions is, for a small home server that runs apache/php/mysql and Samba, how well do the Mini-ITX boards like the VIA C3/7 & Intel Atoms handle this sort of task...

The next meeting is going to be Wednesday next week (9th) at 19:00. Lets try a somewhat quieter place this time: http://www.harbordhouse.ca. No web app for the GTA one, just reply to me if you are going :-) Cheers, Rafael

(this was also posted to the asterisk forum, but received no replies... Maybe someone here can help) I'm using the ices command to stream a conference to an icecast server. This is working nicely, for the most part, but the volume is very low. The streamed ogg vorbis audio is much quieter than what I hear in a SIP client, for example (on the same machine with the same audio hardware, of course). I'm using the debian package of asterisk, version 1.2.13~dfsg-2 Any idea what could be happening here? My one guess, which is probably far off the mark, would be that asterisk is outpu...

When experimenting with Opus encoder, I took a random FLAC file, encoded it, heard it, and heard the original file. When hearing the opus encoded file, I thought it was a flute solo, but when I heard the original, I nearly fell off my chain when I noticed the piano I couldn't hear from the Opus in the first time. Now I know there is a piano, I can hear it in the Opus file, but it is much

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4 I wonder if the inverse is true. If I whisper soothing words of encouragement at my JBODs, will I get more IOPS with reduced latency? :^)

So all files that were scanned 10 years ago with a reference level == 83dB should be fixed. And IMHO it's a good idea. b)...

...mation, so it's able to squeeze all different kinds of signals into the same space. So, for MP2, 2 channels of any kind of audio will end up the same size. FLAC, however, must retain all of the original information, and therefore each different signal ends up with a different size. Quieter pieces are smaller, louder pieces are larger. Frequency content also affects size. One thing about mid/side is that mono material would produce silence on the side channels, and thus the side channel would compress a lot more than either left or right. Even a stereo signal that's mos...
