Audacity Forum

When using Jack, the "device" options in the "device toolbar" are not restricted to hardware devices. On that page you can see an example of setting Audacity to connect to Hydrogen drum machine. That's odd. I don't see carla, a plugin host I had running, in the drop down, but I do see hydrogen. Reg...

Unlike other Jack aware applications, Audacity does not keep its ports open. It opens input / output ports when needed, then closes them. For example, when you press the Play button, Audacity opens new ports, establishes a connection to the host system, then starts an output stream. When you press ...

I very rarely install software from source, but I do programming in my free time and thus am familiar with the common processes. After about 5-ish attempts and guessing based on the errors what package...

audacity is installed with the audacity package from ubuntu universe

That does remind me, however, that I use the linux-lowlatency kernal since I use jack the entire time the machine is on (except when trying your suggestions to fix audacity when I turn jack off). Can using the lowlatency kerne...

The output file is completely empty, though if I have the file open in an editor while running the command, I get the file-has-been-changed notification even though it remains blank after reloading. I assume that is just bash grabbing the file so it is ready to feed it output. I tried the command wi...

I have two physical sound devices in my machine. One is built into the motherboard and the other is built into my graphics card (since it has hdmi output). I was able to disable the virtual sound devices (loopback and dummy) but I could not disable the hdmi device despite blacklisting the snd_hda_co...
