[Bug 355846] Re: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through
Running Ubuntu 13.04 AMD Athlon II X2 64 bit os, 4gigs of RAM, Audacity 2.03. When imorting a tape, Audacity would stop recording at diferent points on the tape. I was using the playthtough feature and noticed an unusual sounding noise, hi pitched , like a digital tone and recording then stoped. I changed the default sample frequency to 48 KHz in Preferences - Quality like John Ainsworth (kajaja) did and that seems to have worked. I will find out after playback if I hear the noise, however for me that will not be a big issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 Title: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/audacity/+bug/355846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The applets and utilities supplied by pavucontrol are arcane and not in the least task-oriented, so something more user-friendly is definitely needed. Incidentally, yesterday I did some recording from TV. At first I tried to re-enable PA loopback but when that just didn't work I had to resort to my patched Audacity with software playthrough.

I posted to the Audacity forum and got some interesting feedback: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=18t=14014sid=f29a500ddd4aee4cad4084becaa2fb6estart=10 Apparently, the problem is partially fixed on the trunk, i.e., the xrun- recovery code has been improved so that recording will not stop. However, the underlying latency problem has not been fixed, so there is a risk of defects in the recorded audio. In the thread, I learnt how to configure loopback using the PulseAudio tools. User-interface-wise that was not a pleasant experience, but now I know that it is possible. However, unless Ubuntu makes an effort to make PulseAudio easier to configure, software playthrough in Audacity is a necessity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 Title: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 355846] Re: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through
@David: you're welcome! Interesting indeed. Looks like there is some sort of consensus on the Audacity forums that software play-through just cannot work under Linux. Hope that can change now. Re my experiments with different latencies: if the CPU load is sufficiently high, the latency needs to be increased substantially if xruns are to be avoided. With Audacity recording with play-through and an Audacity build running at the same time, 150 ms seems to be more reliable. I think that's reason enough to let the user decide what latency to use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 Title: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 355846] Re: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through
1. After applying my patch, I have experimented with different latency settings, and I find that 32 ms is about the lowest that works on my machine, without xrun recovery. 2. Although my second patch largely removes the source of overruns and underruns, the first patch is still necessary to cover the case when the user presses the left or right arrow while recording with play-through (or during playback, if the latency is very low); without the first patch the recording (and playback) stops, with the patch it will continue after recovery. However, I think that should actually be a separate bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 Title: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Now I think I know why there are overruns and underruns: there is something wrong with the latencies. The attached patch disables the special handling of the playthrough case and uses the user-settable latency for both capture and playback. The patch also contains a few diagnostic output statements that print out the suggested latencies (ignored) and the latency set in the preferences, which are the ones used.

In the beta version of Audacity, this only happens to me in overdub. In other words, I can record one track, but as soon as I start recording another one it doesn't work. I have to turn off overdub for it to work, but then I can't listen to the previous track while recording the new one.

Not sure if this information is useful but... I continued to play with Audacity and Pulseaudio. I turned off Software Playthrough and that did not fix the problem.

Sometimes the change happens and sometimes it does not. - The output and input volume controls on Audacitys toolbar does not work (volume stays the same regardless of control setting) - The PulseAudio Volume Meter does not work when Audacity is playing (works with other apps) - Sample rates 96kHz, 48kHz, 44kHz work, 22kHz, 16kHz, 8kHz do not work (stops after 1 sec. recording). - Sometimes all rates work but I was never able to constantly get it back to where all sample rates worked. -- audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also have the problem. I am running 9.04 on an an Intel DG33FB motherboard. Records at 96Khz and 48Khz but will not record at sample rates of 44Khz or lower.

Re: [Bug 355846] Re: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through
I got tired of NO Audacity on my 9.04 AMD64 with dual quads, hurst linkage, 4 on the floor. So I did this and it works great so far!!! I downloaded this from audacity site, an earlier build of 1.37 but it *says* Stable 1.2. removed Synaptic version of audacity 1.37xxx. This one stops recording after a half-second. Download Page for audacity_1.3.5-2+lenny1_amd64.deb on AMD64 machines List of mirrors here http://packages.debian.org/lenny/amd64/audacity/download: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/amd64/audacity/download sudo dpkg -i dpkg -i audacity_1.3.5-2+lenny1_amd64.deb IT WORKS GREAT!!!

[Bug 355846] Re: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through
I don't know if it is the same thing but when I try to record, the red line moves across to 1 second, maybe 2, and stops. I am new to Audacity (and to Linux, in fact) and what puzzled me was that, when I used it for the first time, 3 days ago, it worked fine - *.aup file, *.wav files both created and working. I am trying to record all my old cassettes, using a tape deck from about a million years ago (well, 39) using a 5 pin DIN socket. Turning off Firefox makes no difference and I have not tried a different sample rate, yet. How can I force the version back to 1.3.5.-2, please? I don't have it. Two more questions: is it necessary to create a Project? The Audacity manual says yes but some material I obtained from Leeds University makes no mention of it. How do I save a Project, when the selection is greyed out? -- audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 355846] Re: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through
The way I 'fixed' this bug, is to set the Default Sample Rate to 48000 Hz. Can you try that to see if it resolves the issue for you? If so, at least we know what's causing the problem.

[Bug 355846] Re: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through
this happens to me whether or not 'software playthrough' is enabled. also, the same behavior occurs when just monitoring the input. i.e. the monitor will show some activity and then stop responding--freeze. is it the same bug? can you verify if recording works with software playthrough disabled? because it doesn't for me. i have audacity 1.3.7-1~intrepid1~8.10prevu1 on ubuntu 8.10 2.6.27-14-generic x86_64 forcing the version back to 1.3.5-2 has gotten rid of the problem, and i am pleased to see that my theme settings from 1.3.7 have persisted! -- audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 355846] Re: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through
Btw, everything was working fine until I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04. When I upgraded everything was slow but enabling UXA made it speed up. The only thing not working now is Audacity with software play-through. I can get it to sort of work by playing with the input and output devices in Audacity, but it stutters a lot like it is being slow. -- audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have tried compiling the latest Audacity CVS (its in my PPA), but the problem still occurs. There is also a forum topic on Audacity's forum about this, but there isn't any solution there. I tried this same thing (software playthrough) on a Windows Vista computer and the problem doesn't happen there, with the same version of Audacity. ** Changed in: audacity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
