I didn’t reach out for help with UbuntuStudio – I was also having problems with the kubuntu desktop. I knew I preferred debian kde, so I moved on to KXStudio. I contacted linuxmusicians for help with that, about a week ago, but no response yet.
Then I read about fedorajam, so I decided to try that. I’m quite impressed with the fedora kde. I'm picky about desktops, most are pretty quirky. I usually use chromeos, but I may just stick with fedora even if I can’t get the jam studio working.
Today I was able to decrease the volume. I couldn’t get that to work on either KXStudio or the AVLinux live-usb.
That said, I do need to focus on playing my guitar, linux is turning into a rabbit hole.

Hi Erich,I know this chain is getting long, but I have a big decision to make and need advice. In terms of best functionality, most users, best support, would you recommend:
- Ubuntu Studio 20.4 LTS
- Ubuntu Studio 20.10
- Fedora Jam (32 or 33)
I'm partial to Fedora, maybe because I've been using it with Stanford's CCRMA repo for 20 years or so. But I get the impression everyone else is settling on Ubuntu as the standard. I also prefer KDE and stability, so last week I installed Kubuntu 20.4 and U-studio on one hard drive, and Fedora 32 Jam on another. I didn't find much difference, so settled on Fedora and spent a few days correcting Carla plug-in paths, compiling WhySynth 2017 and OxeFMSynth etc. But it's not too late to change.My day job is stressful but pays well. Music is keeping me sane. I would love to contribute to one or both of these projects.ThanksSteve_______________________________________________On Mon, Nov 2, 2020 at 10:09 AM Erich Eickmeyer <eeickmeyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:_______________________________________________On 11/2/20 9:47 AM, bruce wrote:

Before I tried fedora jam, I tried ubuntu studio, avlinux, and kxstudio. I got nowhere with those, and couldn’t find any help – y'all are the first live humans I’ve encountered on this quest.
From what I’ve been able to tell, the ‘make music on linux movement’ started shutering a couple years ago. Then I read in Phoronix that Fedora Jam would either shuter or release a version 33. So I checked and you had a 33 download.
Fedora is really my last try at this before heading back to windows.
How long ago did you try Ubuntu Studio? I also lead the Ubuntu Studio project, and don't remember you reaching out about an issue like this at all since I've been involved (past 2 1/2 years).
And, as you can see, Phoronix likes to spread FUD. There was a Fedora Jam 32 release as well as 33.
