Problem with encoding ("Høyttaler" should be "Højttaler")

Post by scootergrisen » Mon Sep 04, 2017 6:31 pm

Windows 7 64-bit - Audacity 2.2.0-beta-Sep 1 2017 - .exe-installer

When "Windows WASAPI" is selected it says "Høyttaler" for microphone and speaker device in my language rather then "Højttaler" so there is a problem with string encoding.

"ø" should be "ø".

I'm guessing the string comes from Windows.
When "MME" and "Windows DirectSound" is selected the text is correctly showed as "Højttaler".

I noticed in the audacity.cfg file when i change the device the file is updated:

If i select MME and the microphone is disabled in Windows i get:
RecordingDevice=Højttalere (Enheden High Definition Audio) (loopback)
Host=MME
PlaybackDevice=Højttalere (Enheden High Defini
Notice how "RecordingDevice=Højttalere" is using wrong encoding but "PlaybackDevice=Højttalere" is using correct encoding.
I cant see "Højttalere" for the microphone in Audacity because the microphone is disabled.
If i enable the microphone in Windows it does not say "Højttalere", but instead:
RecordingDevice=Microsoft Sound Mapper - Input"
Or:
RecordingDevice=Mikrofon (Enheden High Definiti

Also notice that sometimes the string i cut short. 31 characters for some reason.
