I am running Raspbian (Jesse) on RPi3 with an IQaudIO DAC+ sound card. I am using Mplayer with upmpdcli front end and controlling with BubbleDS control app from phone.
This setup works very well and plays music served from NAS by minimserver.
I now need to edit some of my sound files and would like to do this on the RPi suing Audacity.
I have installed Audacity from repo site but it will not run correctly, I think because of the way I have alsa set up but seek help here as I am well out of my comfort zone.
When Audacity opens I get a reduced screen rather than the normal opening screen I get a screen with a “Backtrace” button. If I open this I get the following lines under a heading Function Prototype:-
We don’t officially support Raspbian, but I’ll try to help if I can
Sounds like Audacity has hit an “Assert”, which means, something has happened that should never happen, or, something has not happened that should always happen. Either way, it is effectively a “crash”.
Is that the full text? If not, can you post the full text?
Hi Steve,
Not yet. I think I may need to tell Audacity where to find the audio device but am going to pause this thread as I may have other problem which is preventing Audacity or anything else from working. In short I have now lost all sound! Time flies when you are having fun. Will get back to you when I have basic system up and running again. Many thanks once more,
