Thanks for the reply.
Is audacity recording via pulseaudio?
It's set to "ALSA" for its host interface, and it doesn't seem to offer other options.
Other software like obs-studio works fine. I haven't done a comprehensive survey but I'm happy to try other methods. I doubt this is an audacity bug since even after exiting, it leaves my audio device in a broken state.
That is, if you keep arecord running (over pulseaudio), and start audacity in parallel
Good idea . I just tried, and the recording becomes garbled at the precise instant where audacity is started !
without the need of complex sound system setup.
This is already as simple as I can make it .... reboot, run arecord / audacity, and the problem is 100% repeatable.
