[tde-users] Re: getting Logitech USB microphone to work with Audacity (or better solution) - off-topic - mostly RESOLVED

It turns out that my firejail application was somehow interfering with its startup. I needed to create a firejail profile for Audacity, then it started up as usual, I already made a couple quick test recordings. All I really need to do now is to find where I hid all my customized settings from myself, so that I can import or overwrite the current defaults. Otherwise, the playback is pretty rough and distorted, but using effects like normalize, amplify, and some special EQ settings (which I can't find at the moment) bring the sound back within tolerable listening range. However, I never did manage to get krec going. For my own music, I prefer to use audacity to remove distortion, clipping, etc., and krec doesn't have many features like that. But for quick voice recordings, krec might be convenient, so I would like to get that running properly, if possible. I went through all different settings, read through the help manual and man pages, but nothing seemed to change. Usually, in fact, the record option wasn't even available, only playback; and when record did seem to work, it only produced some empty files of a few kb, which could not be played at all. Bill
