It also manifests itself in custom builds of 2.3.3 and 2.4.1 on Ubuntu using GTK3.

Perhaps you could try building Audacity 2.4.1 with GTK2 and see if that fixes it for you (It works for me).

As it says in the bug report, it may well be a GTK3 issue. The current version of Audacity should be built with GTK2.

I believe the Audacity developers will be migrating to GTK3 for the next Audacity release (2.4.2).

2. Let say i did spectral selection, is that possible to do a playback for that spectral selected to listen if that is the unwanted sound? No you can't - but it's an interesting thought ... WC Actually there is a way, though it's a bit convoluted: 1) Duplicate the track 2) Invert the duplicated tra...

I appreciate that you are seeing similar problems on Windows and Linux, but to save the confusion of multiple parallel topics I've merged your posts into this topic. Please don't start new topics on the same issue.

I'm finding it difficult to follow your description. Perhaps it would help if you give a specific example of how to reproduce the problem, listing exactly what data you have in Audacity's MetaData Editor, and what you are seeing in Kid3.

It would be helpful in this case for the tool to display which track is higher RMS and by how much. That way it's simple to adjust via "Amplify left or right channel" effect. Thanks. You can easily make this change yourself. Tools you will need: A "Plain Text Editor". For Window...

If there are only a few tracks, it may be easiest to just drag the tracks one at a time using the Time Shift Tool.

If there's a lot of tracks, then "Select All -> Reverse -> Align Together -> Select All -> Reverse".

What is your recording device, and what settings do you have in the Device Toolbar?

It sounds like it could be some kind of problem with permissions, but then I would expect other problems to occur as well.
Are there any other problems you see on this computer?
Does Audacity work correctly other than the FFmpeg problem?

The vertical lines that I've marked here are probably clicks.
You have to play and listening carefully and try to match up what you hear with what you see. (High frequencies at the top, low frequencies at the bottom, brighter colours when louder).
