2 years ago Could you please try opening a Terminal window and running
cd "[path-to-app]/Amplitude Soundboard.app/Contents/MacOS" && dotnet amplitude_soundboard.dll. Running this command will require having installed .Net 6 SDK or Runtime, from Microsoft. This might show the reason for the hang / crash in your terminal window as the app launches.
Other than this, the only thing that could really stop Amplitude from launching is if the preferences file is somehow corrupted. You can check this by running cd ~/.local/share/amplitude-soundboard and checking open -e options.json and open -e soundclips.json to see if there's any broken data in either file. If there is, fixing and saving the file is an option, but deleting one, or both these files will definitely allow Amplitude to launch - although your preferences will be lost. Most likely, the issue will be in options.json, and deleting this file will only lose your general options settings like grid window layout and language, so this is a good first step to try. Deleting soundclips.json should be the next step if it still doesn't work, but this means you will have to recreate all of your soundclip configurations.
Describe the bug App was working a few minutes ago, now it is not working.
To Reproduce No steps to reproduce.
Expected behavior App will not open and will hang
