Installing and using pulseaudio-dlna with the Hiby R3 family of Audio devices

Hi everyone, In this post, we’ll see how to install the pulseaudio-dlna package and use it. DLNA is a protocol that may allow special devices and software to connect to a media server, playback a file, act as a media controller, or be one or more of these. Some routers have a DLNA feature built-in allowing the use of the USB port to host a USB drive in order to allow these software to find and playback your multimedia files….

Installing Daily Ubuntu Linux Kernels manually (And the Linux Kernel 6.0rc1)

Hi everyone, In this post, I will show you how to install the daily builds of the Linux Kernel from the Ubuntu Kernel Team Server site. Last week, we got the very first Linux Kernel 6.0 release. It is the first Release Candidate, but this kernel failed to build for the amd64 architecture. This means that we can’t install it using the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool. Luckily, the Ubuntu Kernel Team does daily builds, and it seems there are…

Improve the sound of the KZ ZES IEM by applying a piece of Paper Towel

Improve the sound of the KZ ZES IEM by applying a piece of Paper Towel

Hi everyone, In this post, I will share a slight modification I did to my KZ ZES IEM. I found that this is the best sounding KZ model I have ever used, having a good balance of bass, mids and treble, but I also had an issue with them. For some reason, in rare cases, one of the sides of this IEM would produce lower volume sound. It seems that somehow, the grill was the culprit of it, so I…

The Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 310 CPU Cooler

The Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 310 CPU Cooler

Hi everyone, In case you may be wondering why I didn’t post something yesterday, it was due to a heatsink fan malfunction that caused my AMD Ryzen 3950x CPU to shutdown my PC. The fan started making some weird noises and wasn’t spinning correctly. This made the CPU temperature rise to the point of system throttling and eventually, shutting it down. I took this chance to see some CPU coolers and settled with the Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 310, which Amazon had…

Starting up the PulseAudio Service manually in Ubuntu 22.10

Starting up the PulseAudio Service manually in Ubuntu 22.10

Hi everyone, You may recall the post I wrote about installing WirePlumber a few weeks ago. This was because Ubuntu 22.10 will switch to using the PipeWire audio server as the default, replacing PulseAudio. However, there are still some packages that may depend on the actual PulseAudio service due to its implementation. An example of this is the pulseaudio-dlna package, which uses PulseAudio to add DLNA renderers as sound output devices. Therefore, we must start this service manually in Ubuntu…
