No sound in Audio 3, 4, 5......

Help & Support
1

Hi everyone!

I have this problem, when I add more audio tracks, cant reproduce audio when play normal forward. Its enable Play track

I dont understand what happens, when I render project, works audio mixed, but no when playin in cinelerra for audios 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8…
I use Arch Linux, I dont know if there are libraries updated and not work with cin (30-10-20)

Am I missing something?

I would appreciate any hint or help on this.

thank you

I do not use Arch, but rather Fedora and can not generate the problem you see. You could check the pulldown Settings->Format to see how many Audio channels it shows and you can increase the number accordingly. Maybe it is how your speakers are set up using Alsa Pulse Audio?

Hopefully, someone else will have better ideas of what to check.

Hi sallqa,
can you give us more info, please?
How many Channels are you using in Settings->Format, Audio section?
I noticed that there is a problem when the value Channels is 5.
I am using Cin_20201031_static on UbuntuStudio_16.04-LTS.

Hi! Yes, checked the pulldown Setting > Format, Its setting for 4 audio tracks and still no work :frowning:
I tested my sound configuration of my system in Audacity and work with multitrack. Only with CIN no works :frowning:

I tried 2 ways:

  1. When I create a new project with standard configuration, and add audio track with (t > keyboard) or Audio>Add Track. Adding 4 tracks for 2 audios to mix, and no work to listen in CIN (I can listen only track 1 and 2, same file of audio), only I can listen the mix of multitrack when i reproduce the file rendered.

  2. When I create a new project with 4 audio tracks, and add 2 files audio in there. Still no work same way 1.

I dont know whats is my error.

This is puzzling. There is another easy thing to try to see if somehow your configuration file is messed up if you know how to use a terminal window instead of using an App icon to start Cinelerra.

  1. find out where your Cinelerra bin file is located; in which directory

  2. start Cinelerra with a clean configuration from a window via:

    CIN_CONFIG=/tmp/bcasttemp {directory where cin is located which will be something like /{your directory}/cinelerra-5.1/bin/cin

  3. now only load your files and audio and see if the audio now works

(be careful not to turn off Play Track of do any extra stuff so all is normal).

Let us know if this works because then we can let you know how to start with a clean configuration in the proper place because /tmp gets destroyed on boot.
