Version 3.4.2 on Mint 22.1 using Intel ALC2304 as output device : Starting Audacity breaks audio system wide until user session restart . Editing streams works perfectly, but without a proper sound monitor this is hardly practical and just starting an application should not invalidate sound output system wide.
Nice, i use with Winamp skin. Sound quality is okay, EQ works. Overall, its ok - Mint 22.1
For anyone that wants to use a newer version of Audacity, the creators made AppImage's for Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 (what Linux Mint is based off of) available to download on their website, audacityteam.org. You'll likely have to make the AppImage executable to run it. Right-click it, select "Properties", then click on the "Permissions" tab and check the box next to the text that says "Allow executing file as program". Then double click the image and it should start like any other application.
It's good at doing its job, however at the same time it hasn't been updated for a while so its quite outdated
This 2.4.2~dfsg0-5 is a very old version. Current one is 3.5.1-x64! Please update.
flatpack version doesn't work. Other version (2.4) is beautiful but useless because of unable to record a sound that comes out to speakers
The flatpack version errors on start, wont start. Uninstalled and installed the system pack, and it is great.
Na jaren weer eens geïnstalleerd en ik kon er meteen mee aan de slag. Dat zegt mij dat de ontwerpers goed hebben nagedacht hoe de gebruiker het gebruikt en er naar gehandeld. Hulde! Installed it again after years and I could get started right away. That tells me that the designers have thought carefully about how the user uses it and acted accordingly. Kudos!
The concern about telemetry was addressed years ago - it is "strictly optional and disabled by default". See: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835
Be careful of versions, Wasn't this app sending data to brokers? Read their policy,,, Its now Spyware
Despite its popularity and number of features, this software has remained intuitive, light and fast! Congratulations to the developers! In my opinion, it is the best basic audio processing software.
