Devuan jessie (no systemd fork of Debian jessie)
Audacity 2.1.1
Installed from the Debian repo
I have been using this setup for over 4 years and done hundreds of hours of complex editing. Suddenly, when I split stereo channels to edit them individually, there is no output on the R track on any file from any source that I’ve opened. I was able to edit the R track only a week or so ago. Mixer board shows active volume on the R channel but nothing is audible. Yes, it is not muted. Sound is coming through both speakers when the working file in audacity is previewed. I’m stumped as to what is causing this. Perhaps an inadvertent click in some obscure place? Hope you can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Alas, no. When pan and gain are fully to the R, the track is barely audible. Amplify plugin makes no measurable difference. Any other ideas? Guess I could try a reinstall . . .
This produced an interesting result. There is barely a tone when I pan R just like the R stereo channel.
Then I had an ah-ha moment. The joke is on me. My sound system is very basic. Speakers are connected via the green plug in the green hole on the Gigabyte board. I really do not like to mess with hardware but I reached back around the tower, unplugged, plugged back in, twisted it a bit and the right channel is back.
