I'm using the unmodified source code and built Audacity myself, so I am 100% certain that the version on my Debian machine is the original unmodified program, as written by the Audacity developers. I do not see the problem that you describe. If the problem were with the software, then surely I would see the problem too?

The problem may not be anything to do with the Ubuntu Vivid build of Audacity, but it is a problem with the Ubuntu Vivid build of Audacity on your Ubuntu Vivid computer. This problem has not been reported by any other users, so I would suspect that it is something specific to your computer setup. Does this problem occur on a fresh installation of Ubuntu Vivid?

Hi,

New here but wanted to confirm this bug after dist-upgrading from wheezy to jessie. Everything was fine on wheezy. Now on jessie (audacity 2.0.6) every audio export defaults to .aiff despite the file format being set to "MP3 Files".

If you need more details, just ask.

If you compile Audacity from our source code against the supported wxWidgets 2.8.12 the problem won't occur, as far as I know.

If that is the case then please report the issue to Debian as a problem with the way they have built the Audacity 2.0.6 package: Debian bug tracking system.

Note specifically that Debian have built Audacity with a version of wxWidgets (3.0) that Audacity Team does not support, so you can expect numerous wx3 issues.

If you do find the AIFF issue is a direct result of using wx3, please let us know.

Thanks for your answer. I see now that this bug has already been reported: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=774181. I confirmed it and will let you know if the cause is identified.

Same thing happening to me. I was able to work around it by copying and pasting the tracks into a new project, then export to wav just fine. Just in case anyone else can't wait for Ubuntu to fix this...

Thanks, someone else has confirmed that to be the case.
