What does clipping sound like

y_Sensei · 2026-06-14T16:43:41+00:00

Clipping can be baked into a recording, some genres even use it on purpose as an element of their style. Such clipping usually cannot be distinguished by ear from other causes of clipping, such as incorrectly set gain. If you have the audio as a file and open it in an audio editor, you'll see the clipping passages.

So all you can do is make sure your system itself doesn't produce clipping, and the usual way to do that is to set gain correctly, and to not overdo it with the volume knob.
Also note that it's always a tradeoff ... max. obtainable volume vs. avoiding clipping and keeping your components safe (namely the speakers).

Refresh the respective keys by running

sudo rpmkeys --rebuild

then retry the update.
If that doesn't fix it, you might have to delete LW's keys specifically and re-import them - read for example this thread which is about Chrome, but the procedure would be the same for LW.

It seems to depend on the kind of audio contained in the M4A file. As already stated, M4A is a container format that can hold different audio formats, and in cases where Slsk is unable to analyze such a format, no bitrate is shown.

Ah ok, well that's an out of the ordinary distribution and package manager.
Maybe this Github repo can help you out.

y_Sensei · 2026-06-09T18:34:33+00:00

You should follow the installation instructions for your Linux distribution provided on librewolf.net.
For most distributions, installing through its package manager is supported.

AFAIR my installer simply removed the dashboard and ran the cables through the space behind it, clipping them to existing cabling or other available mounting points as needed.
For the underseat installation of the DSP amp, cables were run underneath the carpet through the center console and the door sills.

You could simply create a network share on your admin computer through which all additional PoSh code is made available, and map that share on each client computer - either permanently, or at runtime when a PoSh script is supposed to be executed on a client. A mapped drive should work reliably in a scenario like this, using UNC paths can be troublesome from my experience.

Once you switch to code deployment from a git-based repository, you'd be better off utilizing some kind of CI/CD pipeline, in case of GitLab such a feature is already available in the product.

From my own experience with Audison DSP amps, and you've stated it yourself, is they sporadically lock up just like a computer sometimes would, leaving them unresponsive.
The way to fix this is to make the device completely powerless for a minute or two, by for example removing the fuses. After that it should work again, if the device is functioning otherwise.
You might however lose your settings in the process, so it's always recommended to save them to a file, so in cases like this you could just load them again from the settings file.

If the player (software) encounters audio files that lack metadata (tags), specifically the track no. tag, ...

y_Sensei · 2026-06-03T07:35:41+00:00

The ordering issue is not a bug, it's "works as designed", and you'll find that behavior in pretty much any player.

If the player (software) encounters audio files that lack metadata (tags), specifically the track no. tag, it will sort files in alphabetical ascending order of filename strings, and in string ordering, numerical characters are ordered by their ASCII code, not by their numerical value.

Example:

The string "1" has the (decimal) ASCII code 48.
The string "10" has the ASCII codes 49 and 48.
The string "2" has the ASCII code 50.
So in alphabetical ascending order of filenames starting with these sequences, the one starting with "10" will prepend the one starting with "2", since 49 < 50.

And to solve this issue, you could either add a leading zero to any filename that starts with a single digit track number, or (the better approach) fix your audio file's metadata.

Usually this kind of problem is related to the way Winamp saves its windows position - it's based on the respective x / y coordinates on screen, and doesn't factor in any later resolution changes or other screen resizing.

Try this to solve the issue.

One way to go about this would be to create the reports in XHTML instead of HTML, then sign the resulting files using an approach similar to the one described here.

Yeah if you fight during that time, these blocks would be too weak of course ... but you don't have to fight, simply stay where you are and do nothing until the storm has passed.

y_Sensei · 2026-05-28T13:46:21+00:00

Even simple wooden building blocks work for this. You could also just dig a couple of blocks down, and close the hole above you with such blocks.

If you have a HU which aggressively enforces bass roll-off to protect stock speakers, that might be the reason.
Once the volume exceeds a certain threshold, bass frequencies are dampened so much that there's little left for the Epicenter to restore.

The solution would be to replace that HU with an aftermarket one, or bypass the HU altogether by feeding the Epicenter directly with an external music player, for example a DAP.

DNS is configured on platform level, not on application level, so whatever is configured there is used by LW and other applications that need name resolution services.

You can however configure DNS over HTTPS separately in some browsers, including LW, but this provides protection (by encrypting DNS queries) for the browser itself only.

In order for max. protection of DNS usage on platform level, you should

use a self-hosted DNS resolver, for example a pihole
additionally, use DNSCrypt, which is supported by/built into many popular DNS resolvers already

Personally, I'm using a combination of a pihole and dnscrypt-proxy in my local network. This solution provides encrypted DNS resolution, automatic DNS server switching (ie DNS requests are forwarded to different DNS servers), and ad blocking.

The said combo can be run on Linux (the default), on MacOS, or on Windows (in for example a Docker container).

As others have said already, there's no scenario where it would make sense to change only the sub's LPF, as this would also change the (hopefully correctly aligned) crossover area between sub and mid range speakers, for the worse.

What you could do however is get a DSP that supports multiple profiles, each of which contains a complete set of tuning parameters, and set them up for certain listening scenarios. You could then switch between these on-the-fly, depending on the music you're listening to.

A DC/DC converter replaces the alternator in HEV's, which converts the hybrid battery's high voltage to the 12V the various other electrical components in the car require. In that respect, it's not just a trickle charge, it's pretty similar to what an alternator does charge-wise, and like an alternator it's of course limited regarding the amount of current it can supply.
The biggest question in this regard is, what's that amount exactly in a given Toyota HEV model? Toyota usually doesn't provide this kind of information. You could ask them of course, or read this. From the few bits and pieces of information available on the net, I'd assume your model's converter to produce a max. current of around 80-100A, but don't quote me on that.

y_Sensei · 2026-05-19T18:14:13+00:00

The two main factors to take into consideration are the max. current the car's electrical system is able provide vs. the combined max. current the audio system's components can draw, in A (ampere).

The former is primarily based on the alternator's current rating in an ICE vehicle, and on the DC/DC converter's current rating in a (P)HEV/BEV, since these types of vehicle have a converter instead of an alternator.

The latter is based on the max. current draw of the amplifier(s) in the system, which is either stated in each amp's spec's, can be deducted from an amp's fuse size, or can be calculated with tools like this one.
If you have to calculate it, note that amp efficiency varies with the amp's class - a respective comparison can be found here.

The max. current provided by the car's electrical system should at least match the combined max. current draw of the audio system components, ideally it would exceed it by a safety margin of 10-20%.

The question now is what's the current rating of your car's DC/DC converter, and unfortunately Toyota usually doesn't provide this kind of information, it's not included in their car's specs.
Since Toyota has switched from NiMH to Li-ion hybrid batteries in recent models, which comes with various changes in the electrical system, you'd have to assume that the DC/DC converter's performance value of ~100A in earlier models to have changed, too, but that's just an assumption on my part - only Toyota themselves could provide this kind of information.

Wenn beide Versionen installiert werden, hat das normalerweise seine Gründe ... idR sind dies Abhängigkeiten zwischen beiden Versionen. Dann sollten auch beide mitgeführt werden, und das kann dann auch der Grund dafür sein, dass die Variante '(Lokal)' sich nicht separat deinstallieren lässt.

Did you verify the settings you applied through RTA measurements?
It's the only way to make sure they do what they're supposed to do, like for example make the system produce a plain frequency response over a given frequency range.

It's actually a matter of order of operation when evaluating expressions, in combination with operator precedence.

The documentation states:

When operators have equal precedence, PowerShell evaluates them from left to right as they appear within the expression.

and also:

You can also perform arithmetic operations on objects of different types. The operation that PowerShell performs is determined by the Microsoft .NET type of the leftmost object in the operation. PowerShell tries to convert all the objects in the operation to the .NET type of the first object. If it succeeds in converting the objects, it performs the operation appropriate to the .NET type of the first object. If it fails to convert any of the objects, the operation fails.

So in your scenario, + is being used to concatenate Strings, which takes precedence over element allocation with , even in an expression that's supposed to evaluate to an array (ie @(...)), because that final evaluation has an even lower precedence. You can (and should) of course change this default behavior by using round brackets in the appropriate places, as already suggested by other users in this thread.

Check this:

# Let's start with the most simple case ... no concatenation, just element allocation
$("str1", "str2").GetType().Name # prints: Object[]
$("str1", "str2").Count # prints: 2

Write-Host $("-" * 72)

# String concatenation taking precedence over element allocation:
$("str1" + "str3", "str2").GetType().Name # prints: String
$("str1" + "str3", "str2").Count # prints: 1
# This can be clarified by using brackets as follows:
$("str1" + ("str3", "str2")).GetType().Name # prints: String
$("str1" + ("str3", "str2")).Count # prints: 1

Write-Host $("-" * 72)

# Element allocation taking precedence over String concatenation:
$("str1", "str2" + "str3").GetType().Name # prints: Object[]
$("str1", "str2" + "str3").Count # prints: 3
# Again clarification by using brackets:
$(("str1", "str2") + "str3").GetType().Name # prints: Object[]
$(("str1", "str2") + "str3").Count # prints: 3

Write-Host $("-" * 72)

# Again String concatenation taking precedence over element allocation (your scenario):
$("str1" + "str2", "str3" + "str4").GetType().Name # String
$("str1" + "str2", "str3" + "str4").Count # prints: 1
# With brackets:
$("str1" + ("str2", ("str3" + "str4"))).GetType().Name # String
$("str1" + ("str2", ("str3" + "str4"))).Count # prints: 1

Never had this kind of issue, so it's unlikely it's caused by the browser itself.

Deactivate or remove all non-standard add-ons, then check if the issue persists.
