When mute buttons for any particular track are picked the track does not
mute, rather than the expected action of muting the track.
It would appear that the track mute buttons are unintentionally disabled by
default as this is an acknowledged bug from upstream, which is supposedly
fixed in "A3" : http://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=2832
This has been also been reported in Ubuntu and a patch is being worked on
which will be pushed back "upstream" to Debian (probably via quadrispro of
the Debian Multimedia team):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/581786
The immediate workaround this bug in a particular project is to right click
on the mute button and enable at least one of the choices for mute. But
this will not prevent the mute buttons being disabled on new projects.
The immediate workaround this bug for future projects is to edit
the 'ardour.rc' file in the .ardour2 directory of the user's home folder.
Change the following entries from:
Option name="mute-affects-pre-fader" value="0"/>
Option name="mute-affects-post-fader" value="0"/>
Option name="mute-affects-control-outs" value="0"/>
Option name="mute-affects-main-outs" value="0"/>
to this:
Option name="mute-affects-pre-fader" value="1"/>
Option name="mute-affects-post-fader" value="1"/>
Option name="mute-affects-control-outs" value="1"/>
Option name="mute-affects-main-outs" value="1"/>
Additionally, it should be noted that I saw bug reports that indicated this
bug was present as far back as Ardour 2.8.2
Thank you,
