Description of problem: Using the flatpak installed by Gnome Software, whenever I tried to start recording, I would get an error prompt like this: Error opening recording device. Error code: -9997 Invalid sample rate and the recording would not begin. This happened regardless of what sample rate I had chosen. Upon seeking help, I was told I should be able to pick a "pulse" recording device, which never appeared Audacity's list of recording devices. Eventually I removed the flatpak, and reinstalled Audacity using DNF, after which I was able to find a bunch of "pulse" recording devices, and recording with them now works fine. All of this is to say that there seems to be something wrong specifically with the flatpak version of Audacity. And to clarify: I installed the Audacity flatpak using the Fedora source (registry.fedoraproject.org), not Flathub. Here's a link to the users list thread where I got help with my problem: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/NQPT4O3PW5CEMLB6HRABP5C37WHGPSB3/#ADKCLTIOQDSPIODZGXDHIOJ5M24BPMNU Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the Audacity flatpak from Gnome Software using the Fedora source 2. Start Audacity 3. Click the big red button to start recording Actual results: An error prompt appears, claiming an invalid sample rate, and recording does not begin. Expected results: Recording should begin in the expected manner with no error prompt. Additional info:
Sorry for all the troubles you have had, but I have no idea who is actually maintaining the Fedora flatpak vesion, but I know it isn't me. We do currently have an issue with the Fedora repository RPM version of Audacity not appearing the Gnome software app store, but we are working on getting that fixed. So hopefully installing the RPM version will be easier in the future.
Some digging shows that Kalev Lember is the maintainer of the FlatPak in the Fedora registry, so I am assigning this to them.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
