Thanks for the info.
If you’ve not already done so, it may be a good idea to report the problem to whoever creates the package.
Posted an issue up on diddlesnap’s github project.
Why not post crosslinks so interested parties can follow both threads?
I’m so sorry…, didn’t see the request to cross-post. Not sure if I should start another thread or not…, but the current state of affairs:
Ultimately, the problem has not been fixed, and unfortunately, snap version 857 is no longer available for reversion…, so all snap distributions of Audacity are significantly broken wrt audio device support.
Snap 913 was pushed a couple of days ago…, which killed my 857 install…, so unhappy camper aqui.
FWIW…, I don’t place fault on Audacity…, nor even the Snap maintainer/dev…, but it really does highlight just how stupid and arrogant the snap model truly is…, and for that I blame Canonical.
Also FWIW…, here is a link to the audacity/snap project:
https://github.com/diddlesnaps/audacity
Click on “Issues” and you’ll see what’s going on with the snap specific aspect of Audacity. I’ve already filed a bug against 913.
There’s now an AppImage available: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/releases/tag/Audacity-3.0.4
Unfortunately the 3.0.4 version does not load FFmpeg, but the next release will.
Wow…, I was just about to post that I tried the AppImage…, it sees all devices, and most I tried seemed to work OK (including pulse). And yup…, can’t export mp3s…
MP3 export should work OK as it is built in (It works for me with audacity-linux-3.0.4-x86_64.AppImage)
Went back and tried again…, you are correct…, it does work. My “sample” was too short to display the progress indicator…
