SRU: 1. Bug is fixed in current development release (maverick) and bug report is listed as "fix released". 2.1. Currently the mute button in Ardour does not function and requires hand modification of an ardour system configuration file and deletion of a generated configuration file in the user's home directory to activate the mutton button pervasively. 2.2. In the current development branch and new upstream release resolved this bug. 2.3. A patch is attached to this bug report. 2.4. Test case follows.... TEST CASE: a. start jack with appropriate settings for stable, low latency performance b. start ardour c. create new track, arm new track, and record audio on new track d. begin playback of new audio track e. left click mute button...audio will *NOT* be muted 2.5. I am unaware of any potential regression, however if should be noted that if a regression did occur it would affect those using Ardour (i.e. excludes practically all desktop users and only the subset of ubuntu studio users who use ardour)
It should be noted that this is a significant regression (the loss of mute functionality in a DAW) in an LTS version. -- Mute button not enabled by default in Ardour 2.8.6 Lucid AM64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Testers, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Studio. Status in Ardour: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu Studio: Fix Released Status in “ardour” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ardour” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Hi I tried in vain to work out why the 'mute' button does not work in Ardour 2.8.6 packaged with Ubuntu Studio Lucid AM64. Help was forthcoming from the Ardour forum: It seems that mute has been disabled intentionally during, or after the installation of Ardour in Ubuntu Studio when the package was created. The file 'ardour.rc' in .ardour2 directory in the home folder of the user, contains the following entries: 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"/> The options should be set to 1, like 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"/> This is a bug that will affect any user who tries to use the mute button on ardour. The mute button is one of the most frequently used buttons on a real, or virtual mixer. 99.9% of people using ardour, would want the mute function to work. The default settings in the Ubuntu cater for the 0.1% who don't want mute to work. Please change this option in the next release, to the values suggested above.
