Audio clicking in recorded videos

[H-M-H]

Recording audio leads to periodically repeated click sounds. Happens on 1.5.4 as well as https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard/tree/85eb094ea9b876b559c8fd73e7fae1d7d9890903 on my Arch Linux system.

After playing around with the code a bit changing the updateinterval here also changes the duration between clicks: https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard/blob/85eb094ea9b876b559c8fd73e7fae1d7d9890903/src/podcast/ffmpeg/UBMicrophoneInput.cpp#L200

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this. I'll try to see if it happens on Ubuntu.

I'm having the same problem on two of my Macs (Mac Mini 2014 and Macbook early 2016) running OpenBoard 1.5.4 and Mac OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan)

When recording using the OpenBoard "podcast" functionality from an external USB microphone (Blue Yeti) I hear repeated rapid click sounds during playback. The clicks are rhythmic (same spacing?), but their amplitude is related to the amplitude of the input. Silence = no clicks, speech = clicks whenever the speech is loud enough to be heard. Clicks are louder with louder speech, disappearing again during periods of silence.

Video/audio recordings made using the Blue Yeti and Mac OS built-in QuickTime application on the same two machines have no clicks or other defects.

No problem from internal mic (Macbook only) or using external analog mic (earbuds w/mic; both Mac Mini 2014 and Macbook).

The external USB mic used is a standard Blue Yeti USB set to utilize a cartoid pattern. I had this same problem with a different USB mic (Blue Snowball Ice), but assumed it was the mic and did no further testing.

I have recorded files if you need them.

I have the same problem as Beuford. Any solution found ?

I am using OBS for recording now.
