And that's why I move the HD channels to the numbers of the traditional ones.
How are you doing that?
Your television probably lets you remap it, in the settings near retune.

Re: Higher quality audio makes people sound smarter
#62I'm struggling with audio quality over zoom on Linux. Anyone could recommend a good microphone that sounds reasonably fine. Preferable something below 100$.
I'm really happy with Fifine K678. Plus it has a headphones ouput & a mute button.

#63What are some decently good mics that don't break the bank but do the work?
I have a Samson Q2U and have had a few people tell me I sound like a podcaster.

Lenovo, Dell, Intel, Realtek, nvidia, Logitech, Samsung, AMD and many other big brands tell me clearly on their product spec that their hardware supports Linux. It's not like there is a shortage of choice.
Oh, can you tell me then, of a Laptop with Touchscreen, good hardware and Linux support? I have been looking for one since ages.
Thinkpads and a lot of Dell laptop models both have good hardware and Linux support. I cannot recommend a laptop with a touchscreen, as I have never used nor needed one.
Re: Higher quality audio makes people sound smarter
#65People vastly undervalue good audio quality. It also often makes the difference (given equal visuals) between great amateur and pro in e.g. the YouTube scene. I didn't have data to back this up before, but I bought a good microphone specifically for this purpose. People will simply like the audio, and by extension what I am saying and also me as a person, better. Meanwhile, my ears will continue to bleed from the awf…
> People vastly undervalue good audio quality
Providers of conferencing tools undervalue audio quality as well, as evidenced by the fact that they don't provide tools that have been common for audio recording for nearly a century, such as simple vu-meters.

#66Audio carries 80% of the intellectual content on television. That's why when the news does a live cross and the sound doesn't work, they go back to the studio until the technical problem is resolved, even though the vision is faultless.
Does the opposite hold true? Do newscasts that carry audio but have lost video tend to continue? Just realizing I've never really seen that that I can think of.
Reporters calling in on a phone when the regular connection could not be set up?
I have seen those.
Re: Higher quality audio makes people sound smarter
#67It's also really easy to have high quality audio! The author recommends a "podcasting" microphone, but a $35 standalone headset mic[1] is almost as good and much easier to use. If you want to hear a comparison, I got kind of obsessed with this problem at one point and took some comparison recordings here[2]. (You need a standalone mic since most headsets, even really nice ones, have really bad mics because most heads…
I think I may have to send this link to our thursday night GM :-) his cheap headset mic keeps popping and has terrible quality.
I use a chaepo Plantronics £40 for work but for my steaming I use a Focusrite claret and a separate cheap dynamic mic (plus an exciter).
I do need to upgrade that mic to a sm58b or a AT 3035.
I have thought about buying a focusrite scarlet and use a separate dynamic mic for work as well.

Yes, it does, usually they show B-roll or a static image with the audio.

Not sure about an unintentional loss of picture, but it's fairly normal to have an audio-only feed when video isn't available.
