I’ll revert Audacity to the openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss repo and re-check Source package : audacity-2.4.2-163.2.srcīut that made no difference in importing my original file I have enabled the multimedia repo so I now have Information for package audacity: So there is obviously something going on here that is a bit strange If I load that in Audacity, and export to WAV, and then load that exported WAV file into Audacity it loads So the file in the OP that I used FFmpeg to manually convert to mp3… That said, I have the same ffmpeg & audacity versions as you. If you want to post your ‘MONO-001.WAV’ file I would be happy to try it on my system.

I have have tried to convert a wav file to a mp3 file using audacity and it worked fine. So I’d guess there is something broken about the way Audacity uses FFmpeg-4 (or doesn’t use it)Īnd, for the record, using FFmpeg manually to convert my WAV file to mp3 works fine, and the converted mp3 file loads into Audacity with no problems ffmpeg -i MONO-001.WAV -ab 192k MONO-001.mp3 I’ve also loaded the files into audiacty on a LinuxMint VirtualBox VM, which has Audacity v2.1.2 and it loads and plays fineĪudacity in Tumbleweed is Information for package audacity:įFmpeg is version 4 Information for package ffmpeg-4:Īudacity depends on FFmpeg-4 ie removing FFmpeg-4 automatically removes Audacity, re-installing Audacity re-installs FFmpeg-4

The “build information” tab in the Help > About Audacity tells me ffmpeg (FFmpeg Import/Export) Enabled MONO-001.WAV: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 44100 Hz This was working earlier this year - the file is from a Zoom R16 Multitrack recording device, and I was recording audio from various Synthesizers for “Lockdown” videos my band was releasing For uncompressed files, also try File > Import > Raw Data." I get a window on screen "Audacity did not recognise the type of file 'MONO-001.WAV'.

Audacity has recently (I’m not sure when exactly) stopped being able to import / load some wav files
