   By the way @wendigo@metalhead.club
   Since you're a music lover and a linux enjoyer I was wondering if you may be able to help me with something.
   I have an external sound card I shove an electric instrument into.
   I can listen to what I play in my computer speakers (which I recently upgraded and are pretty nice) but I have been failing hard in my attempts to record it on audacity, the card doesn't show up at all in the input options.
   
   Specifically, the thing I use is this:

     @raccoon @wendigo@metalhead.club
     You can just make audacity record from a jack input then use qpwgraph to quickly connect the card to that since you said you can listen to it elsewhere

     Mhm... I wonder why I can't get it to work then.
     I'll ask in my distro's forums :)
     Thanks for your time regardless.

     @raccoon Are you using the USB connection to the computer? Linux should pick that up easily with the snd-usb kernel module. alsamixer should allow you to unmute various channels and set levels. The recording side is not my forte, but I know some dudes who do it...

     @raccoon @wendigo@metalhead.club
     that should do it if you don't wanna fuck around trying to figure out why audacity doesn't want to recognize it

     @dushman @raccoon Yeah, I have little to no experience with the recording side of things. I had an M-AUDIO internal card once, so that was probably the last time. However, I have a friend or two who seem to make it work without any special tricks...

     JACK is a good solution for such audio production. What I mentioned before should work just fine.

     @raccoon @wendigo@metalhead.club
     In qpwgraph you can connect that audio interface to your headphone/speaker output as well if you want to listen in real time as you record.

     Yeah he uses pipewire so he should have the pipewire-jack implementation installed

     @dushman @raccoon Yeah, I've heard some good things about JACK. Never needed it. I run a basic ALSA config with Pipewire disabled...

     @raccoon @wendigo@metalhead.club
     Select JACK input as the recording device in audacity, it will show up when you do that. After that just connect the audio interface to the JACK input in qpwgraph.

     @dushman @wendigo@metalhead.club
     I didn't but I installed it now. Is there a command to make a new jack and give it a name?

     @raccoon @wendigo@metalhead.club
     Btw if it doesn't give you the option to use JACK then log out and log back in since you just installed it

     I use JACK a lot when streaming something with obs in order to only pass audio from a specific program

     @dushman @raccoon Also, Roon and LMS (squeezelite) tap ALSA independent of the sound system in use...
