Audacity Forum

For now, on Linux, you are probably best using Audacity 2.2.2. A short release cycle is intended for Audacity 2.3.1. I can't give an exact date yet, but possibly before Christmas. If you build Audacity yourself, then it's an easy fix for this particular problem. In /src/Menus.cpp MenuCommandHandler:...

Thanks for the report, and for taking the trouble to debug. The Audacity 2.3.0 tarball is, or will be marked as "experimental" as we are now aware that we have some problems with it. We are planning a short release cycle for 2.3.1 which is focussed on stability, so I'll log this, and pass ...

What happens if you launch Audacity and import the MP3? Does it look and play correctly?

I'll see if I can get an estimate of how long the problem is likely to last.

Try doing a full shut-down of the machine (possibly "Shift-Shutdown" on Windows 10), then restart.
A normal Windows 10 "shutdown" does not entirely shut down the machine.

WAV is an uncompressed format, so it does not have settings like MP3.
I'm surprised that VLC is doing that. I've seen this problem reported before with VLC, but that was years ago.

Sorry, I don't speak French.
Is there an error message?

Y a-t-il un message d'erreur?
