audacity problems

[Istvan Gabor]

Hello all:

I installed audacity on a SUSE 10.1 system.
I have these problems with it:

1. Major problem: The graphics and the sound plays
asynchronously when opening a wav file by audacity.  The
sound delays relative to the graphics at least 5 second. I've
tried both 1.2.4b-26 and 1.2.4b-26.pm.0 versions.

2. The fonts on the graphical interface (except of the menu
fonts) are so small that really hard to read.

Any solution?

Thanks,
IG

I run audacity a *lot* on 10.1 and don't have these problems.

for (1), I would check your settings.

for (2), sounds like a problem with your normal fonts.

Thanks.
I may write to them.
In the meantime I went back to an audacity 1.2.3 I found on
rpm.pbone.net for suse 10.0. It does not have the sound/
graphics synchron problem. Though the fonts also very small.

(Just a nasty remark: I do not understand why numerous
applicatons have to switch to GTK interface.  It looks so ugly
and in functionality it is so clumsy relative to KDE. Just an
example: in save file window always have to click to 'browse
other folders' if want to save the file in another directory. It is
so awkward.)

In audacity.   There are two settings under:

edit -->  preferences -->  Audio I/O

"Play other tracks while recording new one"

"Software Playthrough (Play new track while recording it)

I have these both unchecked.

I have the same king of problem, with the supplementary one
that the french translation is only partial (and the not
translated menus are simply not here) so the program is
unusable.

I use audacity very often in Windows, with no problem.

I had not yet time to test a compiled verison (many
dependencies)

I run a sempron 2200 with 512Mb ram.

thinking of possible problems, I use an ATI card with Xorg
driver (not ATI one), may a display problem explain that?

Join the club....   it seems that GTK goes out of its way to make thing less
useful and less intuitive.    It's downright ugly.

I've had these problems, and that I couldn't switch from OSS to ALSA
without complaints about not being able to... something, making the
sound sound horrible; it was just noise. But I re-installed Audacity the
other day and now it seems just fine. /Lars
