Bug#1034474: easyeffects: Lose all audio output when using pw-loopback at the same time as easyeffects
Package: easyeffects
Version: 7.0.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I ordinarily plug my electric bass into the Line In input on my sound card and
listen with pw-loopback and the command line. I then use easyeffects to apply
some effects: a noise gate, compression and a limiter.
Previously, this setup worked fine and I was able to hear my bass with applied
effects - at least I think so, the effects are meant to be minimal on top of the
instrument's clean sound.
Recently out of the blue, through no configuration change to easyeffects, I
started losing all sound output when concurrently running pw-loopback and easyeffects.
By disabling pw-loopback from Output -> Player in easyeffects, I can restore
sound, so it seems directly linked to the use of that programs input. Sound is
properly restored in any case to the ordinary clean sound when I close
easyeffects and leave pw-loopback running.
Removing ~/.config/easyeffects and using easyeffects -r both had no effect,
other than losing my saved presets, so I don't know how it could be
related to configuration, or if it is, it seems to not be a sensible default or
some other part of the stack has changed.
I'd like to continue to be able to use effects on my bass while listening to its
output so a fix would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
