Heya everyone.

I had a very generous gift from a lovely person: a mic, a headset and a sound card. So happy about that.

The only issue is that I don't seem to be able to make it work.

I connected the mic and headset to the sound card (focusrite scarlett solo) and with a USB I connected the sound card to my Linux (lenovo).

Is there a reason why it doesn't work? Do I need to download an app? Or have a connector? Or something else?

Retooting is good for your karma 😋

@globcoco Yes!

@globcoco Might try using Jack, rather than PulseAudio or Pipewire ... but I don't really know!

@globcoco I think jackd with qjackctl as the GUI, if I remember right.

@globcoco I always forget which distro you are on 😬 ... I remember you use KDE, right? But the distro 🤔 ... I would install jackd and qjackctl with something like "sudo apt install jackd && sudo apt install qjackctl", and Bob's your uncle. 😅 🤷‍♂️

@globcoco Yeah, I believe they exist, I almost went to one (called something like Linux y Cervezas), but I didn't ... 😅

@globcoco I have always said yes to this ... 😅

@globcoco For me, Ubuntu is getting more and more reliable 😅 . Mint is "cool" too ❄️ . And Bob is always your uncle when you find a solution 🤣 !

@globcoco 😬 ...

AdamBishop, to science

Perusing the science news this morning, as I do, I came across an interesting article about scientists finding an effect of menthol on Alzheimer's disease. Anecdotally, my nan had a obsession for sucking on boiled mints, which only grew with her sad decline.

I remember worrying that maybe the mints were making her worse, but maybe it was her way of fighting back against the disease ...

@CStamp Yes, limitations 😅. But anecdotally I found it interesting. It was also interesting to consider the effect that smells in general can have on immune response.
