      @ponydude Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: (none loaded). Loading ALSA sound driver modules: (none to reload). ||| Nope. Brb restart. xD

        @minti I think running alsaconf might get it detected?

      @ponydude @minti In Gentoo this would be as simple as `# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart`

      @ponydude It stops the "alsasound" service and then starts it again, so it does more than just reloading modules.

      @ponydude No problem, Gentoo is hardly for everyone and I'm used to getting that sort of thing by now anyway.

      @ponydude I download the highest quality video data from youtube then use ffmpeg to separate the audio and convert it to FLAC. The sound quality is pretty good doing that, and I have Sennheiser HD headphones.

        @toksyuryel You need a sound system where that actually matters first.

          @eaglehooves Did you miss where I said I have Sennheiser HD headphones?

          1. Sir E. Hooves III Sir E. Hooves III

            @toksyuryel Yes. I've got Insignia desktop speakers, and while they're not bad, .mp3 320 vs FLAC you can't tell a bucking thing.

              @eaglehooves I can tell the difference pretty well, unfortunately.

      @ponydude My understanding is that youtube only downscales at lower quality settings. Using max quality shouldn't be a problem?

    23. Toksyuryel Toksyuryel

      @ponydude The video data isn't mp3 o.O it is either mp4 or webm, depending on which you prefer to download.

      1. Toothpaste Pony! Toothpaste Pony!

        @toksyuryel Even so, that's two lossy codecs applied to the audio, rather than just one.

    24. Scribus Scribus

      @ponydude At least it's not as bad as this post I saw where a guy downloaded 64 kbps .mp3s and upgraded them to 128, swearing against all reason that it improved the quality.

      Sunday, 08-Apr-12 04:07:49 UTC from web
    25. Toksyuryel Toksyuryel

      @ponydude And my point is that I don't believe the original was lossy. The mp3 in the description is, but I don't think they used the mp3 when they made the video. They just aren't sharing it for whatever reason.

        @toksyuryel I'm 90% sure they did. I wouldn't render a file twice just to put it on YouTube if it was me.

      @ponydude They're a store brand laptop accessory. The cheapest 20W system money can buy, hooked to integrated sound. FLAC isn't the issue.

    27. Toksyuryel Toksyuryel

      @ponydude I also have my suspicions that artists put lower-quality versions in the description of whatever audio they used in the video itself.

        @toksyuryel Not any of the ones I've seen. They've all been high quality MP3's. Normally I upload 320kbps 44.1Khz MP3s. >.>

          @forestrain Testing with Luna (ALT MODE), I cannot honestly detect any different at all between the video version and the mp3 version. They sound identical.

            @toksyuryel That would be the point! ;p
