No audio detected

[ghost]

Arch linux with most recent updates. I even installed a GNOME DE to see if Mousai can catch the sound there - still this issue. Maybe I need some kind of awkward sound mixer? I have those sound-related packages installed: alsa-utils, pulseaudio, pulseaudio-alsa and pavucontrol.

try changing preferred audio source in hamburger menu

Of course I tried! It's still nothing =( I don't have a mic, btw - maybe this is an issue?

[SeaDve]

it gets the default audio source as stated in pactl info. So i think it should not matter

if you have gnome control center installed you can check the device there

Everything's fine, sound is being showed

I reinstalled mousai a couple of times, rebooted a few times and now it's working, even though I never touched anything in my sound settings and never after installed any sound-related packages

that's really weird, may you show the output of pactl info? it may be helpful

Will it be an issue that it's in a different language? I can change my local and reboot, if it is an issue

And by the way, after I completely removed GNOME DE from my PC (sudo pacman -Rsc gnome), reinstalled mousai (dependencies broke) and rebooted my PC - Mousai doesn't work again XD

What do I need to install for Mousai to work in my DWM? There's a really big package list in a "gnome" pack, I don't know what exactly I have to install

[ghost]

So I looked thru the list of packages of GNOME and installed soundtouch, rebooted - now Mousai works...

I'm fairly new to linux and I don't know what this package does, but it worked out for me. BTW, here's my pactl info after I installed soundtouch:

Guess I have to close this issue...

[ghost]

No... This issue is here again, after a reboot. Is this because Arch is weird or because I am? =)

[SeaDve]

im not sure either whats happening :D but the output of pactl info seems normal

Does the terminal output something when the audio is not being recorded?

[ghost]

I'm using a Suckless's Dynamic Window Manager and the only things that launch (except systemctl enabled by default) when I start my .xinitrc are DWM, Nitrogen, Picom and LXSession. Maybe I need to launch smth else? soundtouch is not executable.

[SeaDve]

since pactl info is working, i think nothing else.

terminal output, if any, while reproducing the issue may be helpful too, as you may have a missing plugin

So I changed my locale so it's readable for you, restarted and... And Mousai worked!

After the previous reboot I INSTALLED NOTHING and DID NOTHING else.

Maybe it's the issue with locales???

And again pactl info:

[SeaDve]

ah yess i think so, ironically, lmao

[SeaDve]

to validate, it would be helpful to check the output of mousai when run on terminal

[ghost]

to validate, it would be helpful to check the output of mousai when run on terminal So I rebooted with my default ru_RU.UTF-8 locale again, and my theory is working - it's the issue with locales.

And here is the terminal output of Mousai with my ru_RU.UTF-8 locale you asked for:

[SeaDve]

to explain why it is happening, mousai gets the 3rd word of 13th line of the output of pactl info. so in certain locales, it will have different number of words and yields unexpected results

[SeaDve]

ill push a fix, thanks for the help

[SeaDve]

u can set LANGUAGE=en_US as an environment variable when running mousai so you dont have to set the global locale of your system

And yes, here my locale was still changed to english en_US.UTF-8 =) Just to clarify.

Could you please notify me (e.g. close this issue or just ping me here) when this issue is fixed in the AUR package?

[SeaDve]

im not the maintainer there, so not sure, but it should come a few hours after i do release on flathub

[SeaDve]

just published the hopeful fix

[SeaDve]

you can quickly test through https://github.com/SeaDve/Mousai/suites/3713534434/artifacts/90752673 if you have flatpak

[SeaDve]

@KpauMupa the fix seems to be pushed to AUR see version 0.6.6

[ghost]

Mousai 0.6.6-1 from the AUR - the issue with ru_RU.UTF-8 locale is still there; compiled Mousai from source (this repo) - everything's fine =)
