I would be really grateful for some advice on this. I tried reverting to an old version (1.3.13) which is not meant for Windows 7 and it did the same. The problems occur whether I am recording on-line streaming audio or just from a CD in the PC.

The first recording after switching on Audacity is sometimes OK, then it starts playing up. The strange thing is that occasionally I manage a perfect recording with neither of these problems, without having changed anything. My sound card doesn't have any facilities for echo or anything fancy like that. There is no clipping during recording - I'm only recoding at about 25% of the allowable headroom. The second problem is that recordings often suffer from a form of distortion which sounds like it is being played under water. My sound card is a very simple C-Media one - probably no better than mother -board sound, but it has worked with Audacity before. I have tried all the combinations of input sources in the input drop-down menu and have selected "2 Stereo Input", also tried everything in the Windows "Sound" options. This is easy to see because the stuff I am recording has quite different content in the two channels.

The sound coming out of the speakers during recording is stereo but the recording level indicators show identical signals and the sound during playback is the same for both channels. I am using Windows 7.įirst, most times when I record, instead of getting stereo, I get the left channel recorded in both channels. Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.As an occasional user of Audacity I have only just updated to 2.0.4 and have hit a couple of problems. Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.15.0-25-generic running: yes Mobo: Notebook model: PC5x_7xHP_HR_HS serial: ĭevice-1: Intel Tiger Lake-H HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Type: Laptop System: Notebook product: PC5x_7xHP_HR_HS v: N/A Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.48) Some info regarding my setup: ➜ ~ pactl info | grep '^Server Name' My guess is that I have to either remove this setup or adjust it for ubuntu 22.04 but I cant find the config settings anymore which I changed earlier. Some background: running on ubuntu 21.04, I noticed that my sound was not so great so I did some research for sound and I finally managed to get better sound using pipewire with easyeffects. Problem: No sound after upgrade from ubuntu 21.10 to 22.04 (using development release) both built in speakers and hdmi output.
