Audacity crashes whenever I apply reverb

imhavingaproblem · January 15, 2023, 12:31pm

I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, reset configuration,everything. This only started yesterday. I’ve never had this problem before. For some reason the crash reports won’t send (it said Exception code 0xc0000005). I tried to copy/paste the crash report into this post but it went over the maximum number of allowed characters.

Someone please help, I was just about to start a big editing project

bug P2

### Bug description Many times now I have encountered failure to send an Audaci…ty error report, the ET-phone-home dialog, when I click the **Send** button. This has worked for me in the past - it is only in recent times that this seems to be happening. A couple of posters on the Forum have also reported similar recently. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/50205984/211068529-86a4f471-c203-4ad9-9302-3f2f8a4b23a4.png) ### Steps to reproduce 1. do something that creates and error report dialog 2. Click Send 3. Observe: failure message ### Expected behavior Error log to be sent to base ### Actual behavior Error log not sent to base ### Audacity Version 3.2.3 and 3.3.0 beta (and @Paul-Licameli 's latest Parallel processing branch) ### Operating system Windows 10 ### Additional context None

BTW testing in W10 with 3.2.3 Reverb works fine for me and dies not crash Audacity.

Does this happen when you open a new project in Audacity and “Generate” some sample audio ?

Have you tried Tools > Reset Configuration ?

Have you tried changing the Reverb Presets and Settings to the Factory Preset Default ?

This has been happening to me as well. I have lost a project twice due to this issue. I have tried recovering the corrupted file and it comes back with random gaps in the right and left channels.
