Solved audacity audio playback locked

F

fasxmt

After upgrading to freebsd 12.0, I use audacity to open an audio file and click the play button, the whole audacity window is locked, no sound outputs.

I am sure my hardware has no problems.
I am sure I am using the default system and default pkg install.
Even I clean my whole disk and reinstall freebsd 12. again, such a problem still exists.
 
fasxmt, I've noticed Audacity behave this way when it's trying to play audio through a problematic output device.

May I see your cat /dev/sndstat?

And, which device is selected in Audacity for audio playback?

Have you already tried all of the output options (/dev/dsp, /dev/dsp1, /dev/dsp2, etc) in Audacity?

Thank you! I never thought of checking audio device. Your words really mentioned me what the problem is:

Open audacity and click "edit" -> "preferences ..." ->
change the "Devices" Playback Device from "/dev/dsp0" to "/dev/dsp", then it is solved.

$ cat /dev/sndstat
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Intel Broadwell (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm1: <Realtek (0x0236) (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec) default
pcm2: <Realtek (0x0236) (Right Analog Mic)> (rec)
No devices installed from userspace.
