[Ubuntustudio-bugs] [Bug 1246092] Re: Ubuntu 13.10 upgrade: audacity sound is trashed, program highly unstable
Thanks to Marcos Lucas for solution #21, which worked for me. Leaving the output / input devices set to "default" causes the problem. Explicitly changing to the actual devices, in my case: HDA Intel PCH: ALC892 Analog (hw:0,0) / HDA Intel PCH: ALC892 Alt Analog (hw:0,2): line:0 makes everything just dandy again. re: Audacity 2.0.5 and Linux Mint 17.3 MATE The "default" setting DID work in Audacity 2.0.0 running under Linux Mint 13 MATE. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to audacity in Ubuntu.

I have tried Playback set to Alsa/pulse and Alsa/default, both give this behaviour. When the selected sample is played as noise, the scrolling cursor works, but appears to be scrolling by much faster than real- time. also, when the playback works, the scrolling cursor behaves very strangely: the thin line may not move at all, or a segment of it may stay put while another part of it scrolls along with the sound. This is a fresh upgrade to 13.10 on a 64-bit Ubuntu machine, a ZaReason Strata laptop with nvidia sound (according to alsa). Audacity worked fine on 13.04, occasional lock ups, but Audacity is prone to occasional lock-ups, and the sound was fine. Audio works fine with other audio apps including youtubes, totem, vlc and sushi. If I highlight a segment of sound in Audacity and export to disk as mp3, sushi will play the resulting mp3 fine. The problem seems peculiar to Audacity playback.
