Audacity parameter 'phase_shift' out of range [0 - 30]
Hello,
While trying to debug Audacity
- too much background noise
- unusable preferences menus on GTK DE (LXDE) with dark theme, even with
dark theme from audacity menu.
I launched it from the terminal too see if there is any error and I got
this error
[AVAudioResampleContext @ 0x55c8497eb4c0] Value 160.000000 for parameter
'phase_shift' out of range [0 - 30]
That certainly haven't anything to do with the broken dark-theme
(partial dark theme, with grey text on white background in the options
names in prefs), and probably nothing to do with background noise. But
I still want to correct that parameter, so I least I don't have another
broken option/parameter to worry about and I could focus on the initial
problems. The problem is I'm not familiar with Audacity at all, so
I have no idea how/where to change this menus.
I don't use Audacity often, chances than I have forced any parameter out
of range is pretty, but still, I thought maybe I did, so I deleted
audacity.cfg file so Audacity recreates the default config, but doesn't
correct that error so it probably the default config from Debian
package. At least on Debian old stable. I don't have time for full
upgrade at the moment, though I should do it as soon as possible. But
I'm still not even even sure it will correct the described problems.
Until I can do the fill upgrade, I'd still like to correct the
'phase_shift' parameter value. Does anyone know where it can be done ?
Doesn't look like that 160.000000 value stored in a text-file because
ag_silversearcher (like grep but better) didn't find anything on my
homedir for "phase_shift". And of course, I looked for audacity
parameters in /etc but I found nothing.
I'd like to either find where is "phase_shift" stored so I can modify
it, or to know where (audacity.cfg in homedir?)) and how (syntax) to
override it. OR doen it come from another software than audacity itself
? (audio server) ?
PS : Not to mention the spyware "telemetry" in the newer versions, v3.x
I think ?. I wanted to tried Tenacity but not packaged for Debian, but
I'd rather avoid AppImage stuff (because it is annoying in terms of
maintenance/security/upgrade management), and it doesn't even start by
the way, it required some library which isn't included in the Image and
can't be installed on Debian because of dependency conflict.
