You could try running alsamixer in a terminal and select the actual 
device instead of the pulseaudio output.  See what options it has there. 
 I'm curious how a device with only two speakers can provide 7.1 
surround sound.  Maybe that's just a feature of the windows driver.

It could be something like that, except the math doesn't work.  Stephen
is saying that he gets 450 Mb/sec at 2.4 GHz in W10, and 252 Mb/sec at
2.4 GHz in F26(?).  That's only a factor of ~2.

And the 5 GHz is 450 Mb/sec in F26, but 1.3 Mb/sec (Gb/sec?) in W10.
If it's GHz, ~3.

These are all reported / theoretical speeds rather than measured
speeds.  What matters is how fast the bits move when doing a real task.

I don't know where he lives (Australia?), but I think 1300 Mb/sec is
faster than most real world networks support, though Japan and Korea
might be approaching that. Even 450 Mb/ sec is a respectable speed.
The average speed in the US, last article I saw, was around 250
Mb/sec, though high speed connections are available at around 1000
Mb/sec.

Is one of them reporting in "MB", and the other in "Mb" ?? the
former is megaBYTES, the latter is megaBITS. They differ by roughly
a factor of ten.

I've got a low-end Synology box in RAID-1, have configured it to
require SMB3, and configured /etc/fstab entries for the synology mounts
to use only SMB3, and it all works like a treat.
I'm running this on Centos-7, which is a sort-of cousin to Fedora,
so its hard to imagine that Fedora can't do SMB3 too.

Do you have pavucontrol installed.  If you go to the last tab,
configuration, and click on the device, it should show you all the
available options you can select.  Select it there, and you should be
good to go.

If it doesn't show the desired configuration options, you should
probably open a bugzilla, but that is unlikely, as these are inherited
from alsa, and it should have queried your device and identified the
hardware.

I don't have an answer to your question, just a suggestion.  What speed
do you actually get when you test it?  If the real life speed rather
than the reported speed is different, then it is time to investigate
why.  If there is a real life discrepancy, then it could be that the
firmware in linux is reverse engineered versus the custom tuned
firmware for windows written by the manufacturer.

Not sure if this will work for you, but there should be one you can use
somewhere on the web.

Presumably because SMBv1 has a huge security hole, as discussed fairly

DWA-192 USB Wireless Network 5 GHz Interface Connection Speed Severely Degraded

[Stephen Morris]

Hi,

    Having downloaded an updated version of the driver from Github that 
now compiles and runs with the 4.13 kernel I have looked at the wifi 
properties under Gnome and they tell me the connection speed is 
450Mb/sec which is about the connection speed I get under Windows 10 
with the 2.4 GHz interface. Under Windows 10 the 5 GHz interface 
connects at the documented speed of 1.3 Mb/sec. If I use the 2.4 GHz 
interface for the device gnome tells me the connection speed is 252 Mb/sec.


    Why are the connection speeds in Fedora so degraded?

Steve

which should give an idea of the kind of thing to look out for, even if

No, it was US$400 including 2-3TB drives.  I got a Synology.  I thought about a
higher end model but I didn't have a need for transcoding.


I bought a NAS dual bay device with 2 1TB drives that have been
configured in Raid 0 mode for around $250 - $300 Australian. I am using
the device as a storage device and for streaming videos to this Fedora
machine and a Raspberry PI media player using Kodi. I have the device
mounted as both nfs and ntfs, but like mentioned in another thread the
nfs mount point doesn't work anymore. I'll need to do some checking to
try to determine why. i have had some issues with the ntfs mount point

Sorry, yes, the 2nd mount point is actually cifs, and like indicated in

am accessing the same mount point under Windows 10 without requiring any 
special configuration, which from the man documentation either Windows 
10 is accessing the mount point with smbV3.0 or it is auto falling back

That's about what I paid for my Iomega with 2x1TB Seagate drives about
8 years ago. I since have had to replace both drives with WD units as
they failed, luckily not at the same time so RAID-0 saved me. I did
look at getting a new NAS but wasn't convinced the benefit would be
worth the cost. I finally figured I didn't actually need RAID for the
media (as it all has alternative sources), just for the data backup, so
I got a new drive for my PC, moved the media onto it, and as a bonus
configured my old PC's drive for my Windows VM, which I can also now
dual-boot if necessary. But everyone's requirements are different.

Because that's the way that systemd's been designed.

It's unfortunately convoluted :(

It wouldn't be unreasonable. It'd be better if services depending on
the network being up could express that dependency and have it be
respected without having to enable another service (that itself
depends on the network management software in use).

To paraphrase Donald Trump "networking is difficult." Early versions
of systemd had a crappy interaction with networking but it's been
improving version after version; however, upstream might not consider
the current wait-online situation broken or lacking...

systemd isn't the first sysvinit replacement to encounter problems. I
remember an Ubuntu bug where nfs (mounting?) was failing on a
multi-nic system because the condition for starting the job was that
any interface other than lo should be up (IIRC, the upstart syntax was
something like "net-device-up iface!=lo") and the non-nfs interface
was often/always up before the nfs one. In practice and
implementation, "networking is difficult."

Logitech Gaming Wireless Headset with PulseAudio Ouput

[Stephen Morris]

Hi,

    I have a Logitech G533 Wireless Gaming Headset. Now that I have 
configure the PulseAudio device output to use the headset I am now 
getting audio output through the headset. The issue I have is that 
pulseaudio only offers digital stereo output and mono input for the mic, 
how do I configure pulseaudio to provide the 7.1 surround sound that the 
headset actually supplies?



regards,

Steve

The mondo suite of programs is still in the package review for over
10 years, because without people interested in them, the odds that
someone else will do substantial reviewing *and* approve the
packages are low: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/187318

Does anyone have some experience in building a NAS --- stocking and

In the past, yes.  But then more, and varied, devices were bought.  Android 
devices,
SmartTV, etc.  Then friends learned what I had and asked for access.  And knew 
the
space needed to be expanded.  Looking around I found very good options for 
dedicated
NAS at low prices.  Included in the offerings were Android and Apple apps to 
make
access easy with a nice end user experience.  Things like thumbnails for TV 
shows and
Movies, the ability to mark them watched.  Also, the system will download and 
in the
apps display descriptions of the show/episode or movie.  And a bunch of other 
stuff.
So, for me, I didn't see the need to reinvent the wheel and then maintain it.  
That
wasn't my goal.

I spend less than US$ 400 for a 2 bay unit to take advantage of RAID.

Just something to consider.

That would be the cost *without* the disk drives, right? All the same,
I'm broadly on the same page. Unless the OP has a suitable box lying
around, it's reasonable to get an off-the-shelf NAS for this kind of
thing. Just be aware that most of the cheaper units have anemic CPUs
that may not be up to transcoding high-quality video for multiple
streaming users.  There's a Plex guide here:

https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201373793

which should give an idea of the kind of thing to look out for, even if
not using Plex.

No, it was US$400 including 2-3TB drives.  I got a Synology.  I thought about a
higher end model but I didn't have a need for transcoding.

I bought a NAS dual bay device with 2 1TB drives that have been 
configured in Raid 0 mode for around $250 - $300 Australian. I am using 
the device as a storage device and for streaming videos to this Fedora 
machine and a Raspberry PI media player using Kodi. I have the device 
mounted as both nfs and ntfs, but like mentioned in another thread the 
nfs mount point doesn't work anymore. I'll need to do some checking to 
try to determine why. i have had some issues with the ntfs mount point 
where I delete files under fedora, which fedora recognizes as gone, but 
windows and kodi still see the files.

Steve
