Bug on reproduction/recording

[ricvelozo]

It seems that playback is at the wrong speed, and the recording just captured noise. Also, upon launching, the app warns that it is an alpha version. The non-flatpak version (from Fedora repository) works normally.

Maybe related: freedesktop-sdk#899.

I have the same issue. I installed pavucontrol & used it to switch recording to be from monitor of PC sound (not from microphone). It work for only one time, & after that I started to suffer from noise recording ! I was enforced to remove all user profile of audacity flatpak & restart PC to make it working. Without restarting my PC, deletion of user profile alone not effective.

Please is this flatpak package is still maintained or not ?

Does it make a difference, if you start audacity with

flatpak run --device=all org.audacityteam.Audacity

and then choose the ALSA device explicitly?

I can't access any devices to record, even using --device=all

Just installed on Fedora 32. Only have access to my HDMI devices, which don't have an option to record, and no ability to connect to the host alsa-pulse bridge.

I can't reproduce this. Audio capture from a USB webcam, running Kubuntu 20.04, works here.

I'm on Slackware 14.2 and the flatpak version 2.3.3 recognized no devices for me. Using --devices=all solved the problem for me.

This provided access to all ALSA devices on my system, including the built-in audio card:

$ arecord -l

It didn't work for me.

What kind of capture device are you using?

Microsoft LifeCam VX-800

Mine is a Panasonic TY-CC10W and recording through Pulse or ALSA works perfectly. Maybe it's a problem with your distribution.
