- *Input Selector and Input/Output level sliders missing* If Audacity's entire Mixer Toolbar (i.e. the input and input level sliders and the input selector) is missing, this usually means that the version of Audacity you have installed has been built without PortMixer support. This could be because your Audacity version was built wrong, or because it's using an (experimental) v19 version of PortAudio <http://www.portaudio.com/>which hasn't got PortMixer support. If you click on Help > About in Audacity, you should find the version of PortAudio that has been used and a list of which libraries were enabled at build time. To enable Audacity's Mixer Toolbar, you can either install from a package which has PortAudio v18 or compile Audacity from the stable source code<http://audacity.sourceforge.net/latest/audacity-src/audacity-src-1.2.6.tar.gz>using PortAudio v18. For instructions on using the source code to compile Audacity, see CompilingAudacityForBeginners<http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=CompilingAudacityForBeginners>. If you want to compile Audacity with PortAudio v19 (which gives native ALSA support) and also want to have a Mixer Toolbar, you must use the unstable 1.3.2 version of Audacity. There may not be a 1.3.2 package yet for your particular distribution, but you can compile Audacity from the unstable source code<http://audacity.sourceforge.net/beta/audacity-src/audacity-src-1.3.2.tar.gz>. If you want native ALSA support in Audacity 1.2.6, you could compile it with PortAudio v19, but this is no longer supported, and means you will have to choose your input source and the input/output levels in ALSAmixer. If you can select sources in the Mixer Toolbar selector but cannot record, or you don't see the input sources you were expecting, you could try going to ALSAmixer and select the source you require there. -- audacity is missing input selection toolbar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103121 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
