[WORKAROUND FOUND] Cava and Cava-GIT from the AUR is not visualizing audio. #543

Closed kerbyyy closed 5 months ago

kerbyyy commented 5 months ago

As the title suggests, cava and neither cava-git from the AUR is visualizing audio. It was working a while ago but then after I restarted my device, it's not doing anything anymore. Here's a recording for reference:

UPDATE:

Fixed the issue by changing my locale. I used the command locale to check what locale I was using before, and it was en_PH.

I changed the locale in its config file, which is located in /etc/locale.conf and changed my locale to en_PH.UTF-8. It seems like using locales that are not UTF-8 breaks cava, this is based on my observation to other issues with the same case as to what happened to me.

PS: Idk, if you guys are the ones who handle the AUR version, but the AUR version of cava has been outdated for about a week now. Thanks!
