My computer has two audio devices – an HCMI ting and a stereo analog device. Only the analog makes sound as I have no hcmi equipment
Today Audacity 2.1 only shows the digital output in prefereces and so audacity is useless. The analog is shown in recording but that is not interesting to me.
Where has it gone and more importantly how to I get access?
BTW is does appear in the “Show audio devices” help.
[Edited for spelling/typos]
Please provide the necessary information requested in the pink panel at the top of the page. How did you obtain 2.1.0? Are you still using a flavour of OpenSuSE?
You could try Transport > Rescan Audio Devices in the Audacity menu bar. Then see if you still have the analogue outputs in Help > Audio Device Info… .
Typing “aplay -l” (without quotes) in a Terminal should list your system playback devices.
If the problem persists, reboot then post the latest Audio Device Info from Audacity.
Also look in Help > About Audacity… then the Build Information tab. If it says wxWidgets 3.0 then you have a buggy version of Audacity not supported by Audacity Team: Audacity is unstable if built with wxWidgets 3.x.
