@Antisana Media Online It's about time Israel learned they can not kill with impunity. I feel sorry for the commoners that get killed in these wars on behalf of their leaders but I guess sometimes the only way people can have empathy is to experience what they've brought onto their neighbors.

Seeing a lot of #NoKings posts and pictures. In my area (Reno, NV), only one of three network affiliates even put photos of the local event on its website, which seems about right. 🙄
I am SO impressed by how today's #NoKings demonstration in #MadisonWI was organized. There was puppetry, fun things for kids of all ages, and brief big-tent speeches about the importance of standing up to authoritarianism. I heard someone on west bound #BRT A bus saying this is like a west side reunion on this bus. It feels like half of my neighbors are on this bus. 🥰 #Indivisible
My favorite signs at the #NYC #NoKings protests: 1. A big picture of Elmo that just said "Elmo says No Kings," 2. "Rebellions are built on hope," from Andor, and 3. "I like My US neat - no ICE." Also pretty great were the random chants of "Don't rank Cuomo" for the upcoming mayoral primary.
Thousands line US-41 in Fort Myers, Florida for ‘No Kings’ protest... #NoKings Signs read >>> "Democracy not Monarchy." "No cons. No clowns. No kings." "No crowns. No thrones. No kings." "Republican for democracy. Not oligarchs and kings." youtu.be/DOst2GnDO0E?...
My home turf is deeeeep red. It voted 80% Republican and is in MTG's district. I actually shed some tears of surprise and relief when I pulled up to our local #NoKings protest at the biggest intersection in town and saw all the people there. There were 6 counter protestors, but they stayed in their lane. Lots more honks of support from passersby than I'd expected, too. It felt SO good to be among like-minded people.
Favorite signs were "JD Vance Ate My Dog" and "Keep Your Mits Off My Bits."

#NoKings #Harleysville is a soft wrap. Hundreds of folks lined up along Main Street (PA Route 63) in Lower Salford Township, Pa. to #protest with signs and bells starting at 3:30. Video on Facebook indicates easily upwards of a thousand people. For reference the township has a population of about 15,000.
Enthusiastic support from local traffic in our red district with honking horns and friendly waves. Only a few scattered folks driving by with one thumb down or one finger up. The passing Cybertruck driver did not look proud.
Lots of friendly faces I’ve seen around and many I met for the first time. Inspired some real #hope in me today that’s been lacking recently.
Lubbock, TX showed out like never before—hundreds stood tall in deep red territory, backed by a chorus of honks and waves from passing cars. The biggest protest this county’s seen. Across the street, a handful of counter-protesters watched freedom rise.#NoKings@maddow.msnbc.com RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:keuzu…
I almost forgot - I wanted to confirm that yes, the danger dog vendors - and aguas frescas vendors and fruit/snacks vendors - were out there today.
Things are largely quieted down now, just normal levels of people around the Grand Central Market area for a pleasant Saturday afternoon. Some honking and cheering going on here and there, but the masses of people have dispersed. #NoKings
In a town that knows the cost of political cowardice, Newtown rose—2,000 strong—to say NEVER AGAIN to violence, NEVER AGAIN to tyranny. No kings, no fascists, no Trump. This is sacred ground, and the people are done being silent.#NoKings RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:rzyqw…

Oh, and I hope that Fairfax County organizers see that it's GOOD to have lots of rally sites all over the county rather than just expecting folks will go to DC or Manassas.
It was nice to have a rally spot that wasn't 25+ miles away from my home, and in a place I'm familiar with.
Cause DC = higher likelihood of encountering law enforcement, and Manassas = me just getting fucking lost.
100% this. Decentralized protest spots mean more people can show up safely—especially those of us juggling work, caregiving, or just… a working GPS. Local action matters. #NoKings #AccessibilityIsResistance #CommunityPower
Exactly! When protests are truly local, they reflect real, rooted community outrage—not some “outside agitator” fantasy. Also… if someone did bus 4000 people into Coupeville, I’d want to meet their logistics team. That’s a miracle in itself. #GrassrootsMeansLocal #NoKings #WeOrganizeWeWin
Millions march across America to demand #NoKings. Meanwhile, a one person deep line assembles to watch Trump's birthday parade in Washington DC. Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day generates more enthusiasm than this pathetic show.
Brought a stack of about 40 proofs & off-prints from our “No Kings!” run to CU’s protest & they were gone in about 5 minutes. It was energizing to be in such a crowd for our little college town. #NoKings
Ich habe vorhin mit meinem Techniker gesprochen, der aus dem Iran geflüchtet ist. Seine gesamte Familie lebt aber noch da. Sie wollen endlich frei von diesem Regime wieder leben dürfen, und hoffen auch, dass die Bomben nicht sie als Bevölkerung treffen.
Er hat mir mal erzählt, dass die Mehrheit im Iran ihre Regierung verabscheut. Kaum eine Familie, die nicht wen verloren hat, durch dessen Schergen. Nur die meisten sind zu arm, um sich so zu bewaffnen als das sie ernsthaft Widerstand leisten können. Die reichen Eliten kontrollieren dieses Land und sorgen über gut bezahlte Milizen dafür, dass die Furcht die Bevölkerung ruhig hält. Überall gibt es Spitzel, die zuhören und verraten. Und so hoffen die Iraner*innen, dass sie von außen befreit werden. Und können selbst nur mit Angst und Wut danebenstehen, weil sie es aus eigener Kraft nicht schaffen.
The scale of the rally in Portland is MASSIVE. Simultaneously crossing the Morrison and Hawthorne Bridges in one long parade of democracy. Tens of thousands of people. #NoKings
My partner and I are running Manjaro and very new to it. Trying to switch as much as possible over to daily use with Manjaro. We have pipewire, not pulseaudio
We record multiple times a week on OBS, and my partner and I are in the same room. We have two mics side by side both inputs going into my PC. Linux, and therefore OBS, are recognizing the two mic inputs separately as you might expect.
OBS can set up both of these separate inputs, but the issue is we're having significant problems with echo and the noise suppression/noise gates are not sufficient.
This was not an issue on windows, where we used Voicemeeter to combine our inputs into one mic for OBS. I am looking to emulate that on Linux to see if it solves our problems.
We have tried a mic merge sink, but it creates an OUTPUT device, not an input device.
SOLUTION: QPWGraph was the answer (or something like it, Helvum was also recommended) While it looks intimidating at first you just need to understand it's a series of outputs and inputs and you play mix and match. This allowed us to take the outputs of the mics and connect them directly to a single OBS mic source. This 100% did all that Voicemeeter was doing for us, and the results were also the same.
We do not experience echo, overlap, feedback, or any of the issues we were having by adding the two mics separately in OBS. Our issue was NOT the setup, as some people focused on here. As soon as we got the mics going into that same input, all was good and we successfully ran a recording session 100% in Manjaro.
In the end, this did everything we wanted from Voicemeeter + MORE, as I can now isolate different outputs as well. So for instance in recordings I can manage the volume of discord and the background music separately. So this was an amazing solution and the result was exactly what was needed, and ultimately was much easier than Voicemeeter.
Thank you to those here that recommended it, and the people at the Manjaro forums.
It sounds like your issue is that each microphone is picking up the other person's voice. If your software is insufficient to handle this, I'd move or change the microphones.
I can think of some commercial audio processors that can help with that, but they are super pricey.
I can't think of a linux application that has this capability.
One way to help with this as far as inexpensive hardware is to make sure you're using cardioid dynamic microphones, and not omnidirectional condenser microphones. Cardioid dynamic mics generally pick up audio directionally, like from the "front". You have to be right up on the mic in order to have it record any type of audio. They generally wont pick up environmental sound from anything more than a few feet away.
The room is not professionally treated for sound, but we do have one wall (behind the mics) 90% covered with 2" sound dampening foam. Lots of stuff on the other walls, rugs, etc. It is not a bare-bones room. Our mics are good quality cardioid mics and while our setups are not 180° back-to-back, the mics point away from each other when in use. I don't know if I can explain well enough with words, but we sit side-by-side with the mics between us on arms. They swing down between us, stretch out towards us, and point away from each other. They are about 1.5 to 2 feet apart from each other, pointed away, when in use.
Hey, thought you might want to just know, or for the sake of anyone else find this in the future, there are software solutions. Multiple in fact. Solution on the post. Worked perfect, not echo/bleed whatever you want to call it. It was, in fact, nothing to do with the setup of our rooms and mics.
I think you really took it harder than you needed to, holy... Maybe read it through again? Seems like you posted that in a bad state. Hopefully you're in a better state now. I really mean that.
We have a setup that works fine with Windows, so I refuse accept that we cannot make it work the same way with Linux. I feel like a lot of people here are not focusing on the main questions we had about how we can achieve a goal.
We figured out how to merge the mic inputs into a single sink, but it's an output. We used this post to achieve it. This helps us, and works for Discord. On Discord the echo is not a problem, but it's using the built in Krisp to do noise suppression, so that might be part of it.
On Windows, as described in OP, we used VoiceMeteer to combine the inputs. It's possible this was achieving some kind of noise suppression too, but I don't see how or why that would be the case. Either way, in Windows, there is no echo problem. We use the same exact setup to be on Discord and record our inputs through OBS without any echo.
No this is not our issue, but thanks for the responses.
We have excellent mics and set up, and we run this set up for years just fine on windows. So all the assistance I am looking for is how to combine our inputs into one on Manjaro.
A software solution is fine for us. We cannot change mic arrangement any more than it already is due to physical restraints in room. The mics are faced away from each other. They are good quality XLR mics and run through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.
You were depending on heavy real time post processing in software
Are you talking about Voicemeteer?
what are you recording for
We play TTRPGs online via Discord and FoundryVTT, and record the sessions. We use OBS to capture webcams on Discord, the virutal tabletop, desktop audio for other people's voices/music from the vtt, and mic audio for our voices.
On Windows, we used Voicemeteer to combine our mics. We could use this resulting combination for both OBS and Discord. Since we cannot find similar software so far for linux, we came across the solution I linked above. It works for getting our mics to be combined into one for Discord, but doesn't show up as an input in OBS. We cannot get OBS to "listen to" the combined sink output.
So, instead, we just set them up as two different mics in OBS. This would be fine, except the recording as the echo problem. Over Discord, I assume because it's getting Krisp noise suppression applied, there is no echo. But after listening to the OBS recording, there is echo. So, a software solution to noise/echo suppress might be what we need as well, but that's why we're asking for help.
Voicemeteer was taking our two mics and turning them into a single source that we could then feed to Discord and OBS. That should be it. I'm not completely sure it wasn't applying some other kind of filters, but I don't think it was, that's not what it's supposed to do. So let's say we have Mic Source 1 and Mic Source 2. Voicemeteer took the input from both of those and combined them into Combined Source. We then pointed OBS and Discord to use Combined Source. That's all we're trying to achieve on Linux right now.
Krisp is a feature of Discord. It is available on Linux. We have used this post to accomplish what we want to do with Discord, but this solution does not work for OBS. On Discord, others on call do not report hearing this echo effect. It only appears in OBS recording when we use Mic Source 1 and Mic Source 2. I am not convinced that Krisp is a factor here, as we have tested with it off, but I felt it was worth mentioning. It seems to have confused the situation though.
Hi, for what it's worth, as someone who's a spectator to all this, I both appreciate the technical advice that you have been giving out and thought your comments came across as somewhat condescending and irritating.
Never done anything with 2 mics, so I'll just throw a vague suggestion: there's Helvum to combine the mic inputs and then Easy Effects that can apply a few noise suppression filters that can do world of a difference, maybe the first isn't even necessary, while the second us the core and can be tweaked a lot
I managed to go to one of the smaller (turned out to be not that small) #NoKings protests in a small town in Texas. I wasn't sure if I would be brave enough to go, so I didn't make a sign, but I did carry a US flag. And so did a LOT of other people.
It wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I was still a bit nervous. (I REALLY don't like crowds.) But I found a spot near the end that wasn't too crowded. It was actually fun. I'm so glad I went.
Imagine misappropriating $50mm of taxpayer money, meant for the defense of the nation, so you could have a parade with “twucks and tanks and army men” for your birthday and STILL no one showed up… just like when you were a little boy.

Outside the US Embassy in London today - the "No Tyrants" (rather than #NoKings) protest. About 500 gathered to say no to Trump and his policies. Clowns because (would-be) authoritarians hate to be mocked. (Strategic humor has brought down regimes...)
The #NoKings crowd in Fort Worth was probably twice as big as the Hand's Off protest from April. I'd say several thousand. I have no good shots of the crowd in the park or all the honking cars. But it was a festive and peaceful event.
