Audacity Forum

I downloaded 2.4.1 via the Linux ppa over 2.2.1 from the ubuntu repositories just for this, but now the HiDPI support is broken and everything is humongous and overlapping and pixelated, tooltips white on white, menu not integrated anymore. Anyway, at least the error message is a little less cryptic...

First off, Audacity telling it can't open "Advanced Audio Coding" files when it clearly can, is wrong. It suould state it cannot open "damaged Advanced Audio Coding files" or rather "damaged mp4 containers", depending on where the ffmpeg actually failed to read the file and it's error code (if any)....

Sorry I didn't mention the error message. The first (misleading) error message is the dialog [...] is an Advanced Audio Coding file. Audacity cannot open this type of file. You need to convert it to a supported audio format, while in fact it can perfectly open AAC audio, it's just that the MP4 conta...

I found the reason. By googling the Mediainfo output, I found the answer on videohelp.com Apparently it's because the files are truncated. When I save a radio stream and stop correctly, the file can be loaded, but when I take a snapshot of the file while recording (which I often did successfully whe...

I've never used the ZIP method. The EXE installer has always worked for me, and it's easier. Installed the Audacity exe installer. No change. I removed the Audacity folders from my user profile. No change. Do the extracted files include avcodec-55.dll, avformat-55.dll, and a bunch of other dlls? Ye...

I tried several threads with the exact same problem, but it all ends one way or another in, follow the download instructions on our page and you're fine. I tried that, it didn't work. In Audacity library preferences, I clicked download (leads here ) then clicked the link for Windows (leads here ) wh...

I think it's Panda Jim's version. my dpkg gives the same version string.

Thanks. The last PPA worked smoothly.

Is there a downloadable binary or a way to apt-get to obtain the beta? I want the new theming feature. I've migrated to linux because of my growing hatred toward Window$. I'm not very familiar with the building proccesses, and moreover, I don't feel like spending a couple of hours with the chance th...
