Gate stopped working

[ZerkerEOD]

EasyEffects Version

7.1.0

What package are you using?

Arch (easyeffects)

Distribution

Manjaro

Describe the bug

Updated and then my microphone wasn't outputting any sound. Tried killing the program and rebooting a couple times and nothing. Started looking at the chain for the Input device and noticed the Gate was reacting on the input side but nothing was going out of the output side. Reloaded my config that prior worked and still nothing, disabling the gate allows my voice to be heard. I am not an audio person but no matter the settings I change I see that it says reduction -100 db envelope -100, sidechain -100 and curve -100 and I get no output at all from the gate.

Expected Behavior

Gate to work and block sound under a certain threshold.

Did Manjaro update its lsp-plugins package? The latest EasyEffects releases will only work with lsp >= 1.2.10. At least on Arch Linux the gate is fine.

[ZerkerEOD]

@wwmm, Yup looks like lsp-plugins is version 1.2.11-1 on Manjaro. I will look into downgrading the package. Do you know if a release will be coming for 1.2.11?

[ZerkerEOD]

@wwmm, I downgraded and the gate started working, I would think that Arch would be on 1.2.11-1 also as Manjaro is normally behind Arch.

[wwmm]

Arch is also on 1.2.11. Is there any change if you install through the AUR pkgbuild?

[wwmm]

Is there any change if you install through the AUR pkgbuild?

If you install EasyEffects through AUR.

[ZerkerEOD]

@wwmm, looking at the AUR package it looks like it is on version 7.0.4 rather than the 7.1.0-1. Would that make a difference?

[wwmm]

looking at the AUR package it looks like it is on version 7.0.4 rather than the 7.1.0-1. Would that make a difference?

The AUR package builds directly from our master branch. The tag in the image just represents the one that was written in the pkgbuild when its maintainer updated it for the last time. It will not prevent the package from using the current code in the master branch.

[ZerkerEOD]

Just made the upgrade and using lsp-plugins 1.2.11-1 and the gate still isn't working but it isn't working in a different way now. Now it doesn't appear to actually be working with a reduction of -24 and a threshold of -24, I am still hearing everything in the background and the mic does shut off like it did on the 7.0.4 with the 1.2.10 lsp-plugins.

[wwmm]

Enable the Native Plugin Window in EasyEffects preferences window and click on the new button that will be visible in the gate window to show it. This way we will be able to see the plugin curves. Maybe it is just a matter of properly setting some controls.

[ZerkerEOD]

To me it all looks the same, I don't see any differences but I also don't know what to really look for. My knowledge of this was looking at the article that was written for linux audio a couple years ago and where to set certain things.

[wwmm]

To me it all looks the same, I don't see any differences but I also don't know what to really look for.

The most interest plot is the GATING at the right side. You will notice a dot moving over the curve line. The dot represents where the signal is at a given moment. In the image above the signal was exactly over the transition zone. For "complete silence" it would have to be to the left of it. In other words it seems that the signal was still too strong for the current selected threshold.

[ZerkerEOD]

Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I think I get it better now. I am glad that using the git package appears to of fixed my issue and the rest was just me not knowing. That image above was with me making noise and I had my 3d printer running which can be noisy also. I took another screenshot and can see what you mean when I am making no noise.

[ZerkerEOD]

@wwmm, hey the Arch version (git) seems broken now also. I booted my computer today and the LSP plugins are still 1.2.11-1 but my Gate and Compressor were broken and not allowing sound. Saw there was another update to EassyEffects git and installed that and now it is just my Gate that is back to work working. Are you aware of any changes that would have broken this? I updated back to the 1.2.11-1 when switching to the git version.

[wwmm]

Are you aware of any changes that would have broken this?

I am doing some tests now while trying to fix #2610 and the gate and the compressor are fine. Do you see any warning while running EasyEffects in debug mode?

[ZerkerEOD]

Not that I see, I even toggled the Gate to see what it would do.

were broken and not allowing sound

Do you mean there is only silence when putting one of them in the pipeline? Your logs shows that the output level meter is getting audio buffers. In order to not have sound getting to the soundcard these plugins would have to be suppressing the signal so much that only silence goes ahead.

[ZerkerEOD]

Yeah, it is like my original screenshots. The gate is showing -100db. I see sound on the input side but it doesn't output anything into the next which is compressor for me.

[wwmm]

And the gating chart in the native window? Do you see the dot moving there?

[ZerkerEOD]

I wasn't seeing the dot at all in the native window

I just downgraded all the lsp-plugins again to 1.2.10-1 and everything is working again. I wonder if there is some intermittent issue depending on DE or something with lsp-plugins 1.2.11-1?

[wwmm]

I just downgraded all the lsp-plugins again to 1.2.10-1 and everything is working again. I wonder if there is some intermittent issue depending on DE or something with lsp-plugins 1.2.11-1?

Weird... Using the latest EasyEffects with the older lsp releases should lead to many warnings in the terminal because the name of the lsp ports have changed. The last EasyEffects release will try to use ports that are not there and fail.

[ZerkerEOD]

Yeah, I downgraded all the lsp-plugins as can be seen with

Then I recompiled EasyEffects which is currently showing 7.1.0 for the version. I also had to downgrade liblsp-r3d-glx-lib for the lsp-plugins. But if the lsp-plugins are 1.2.11-1 then the gate doesn't work, it shows a permanent Reduction of -100db. With 7.1.0 and 1.2.10-1 lsp-plugins everything seems to work perfectly.

This reappeared on Tuesday when I normally update my systems (Patch Tuesday and all) and thought that lsp-plugins might up gotten an upgrade, but it doesn't appear to be the case, so I am not sure what upgrade that would have broken the functionality of the Gate again.

The following shows it working, but where I highlighted is what breaks when I update.

[wwmm]

I've read our changelog again and what is really a problem is using lsp smaller than 1.2.10 with the latest EasyEffects. So the lsp downgrade working is expected. What I still do not understand is why lsp 1.2.11 is causing problems in your computer. I have it here on Arch Linux and nothing unexpected happens when these two plugins are added.

[ZerkerEOD]

Interesting, I am using the male voice vocal clarity preset or what its called that stacks in the following order.

That might not mean much to you, but I know information when trying to troubleshoot it is good. Can you think of any other logs I can pull that might help look into it more (might not be worth it unless others start reporting issues, if I am an outlier then I am fine with keeping the downgrade and calling it good until an update is pushed that requires me to update lsp-plugins again)?

[wwmm]

Can you think of any other logs I can pull that might help look into it more

No. But I am curious about what would happen if you installed through the Flatpak package instead of the Manjaro package. It is not the first time I see Manjaro users having problems I cannot reproduce on Arch Linux.

[wwmm]

instead of the Manjaro package

Or of trying to build the AUR package on Manjaro. If something is wrong in some of the libraries we rely on building from the AUR will still not change anything. If the Flatpak works the most likely cause for the other pacakge to be failing would be some system library not being ok on Manjaro.

[ZerkerEOD]

@wwmm, sorry it has taken almost a week to get back to you. Been a little busy. Sadly, when I install it through Flathub, I get the same issue with Compressor. Everything is stuck at -100 and doesn't move (like it did with the gate when on lsp-plugins 1.2.11-1)

After updating everything again and switching back to the git version, I am only having issues with the compressor too, so the gate seems to be working right now.

[DarwinAwardWinner]

Just to provide another data point: I'm on Manjaro as well, and I noticed the same problem: Gate and Compressor plugins were both producing silence on the output unconditionally. Replacing easyeffects with easyeffects-git from AUR (versions shown below) fixed the problem for me. (EDIT: See subsequent comments for updates.)

[wwmm]

I wonder why... I think that all the changes related to the new lsp ports should also be in 7.1.0...

[DarwinAwardWinner]

Could it be some issue with the packaged version being built against the wrong library version or something like that? That would explain why building from git could fix it.

[wwmm]

Either this or somehow the zip file for the last stable release does not have the right file versions.

[michalszymura]

Bringing info from another issue:

I have been strugling with the same issue, ever since the lsp update. I did not have time to post a proper issue. I am on arch. I tried regular install, git version from aur and flatpak.

As a workaround:

1. I have to remove all other effects.
2. Reset the compressor.
3. Kill easyeffects
4. Start easyeffects
5. Sometimes repeat 3 and 4, until I get sound working through compressor.
6. Load a preset.

I will add that sometimes only one channel works for me, though I am now not sure if it is in compressor or earlier. Reset button does nothing until I kill easyeffects.

EDIT: I am on kde plasma with x11 session, I did not check if the same happens on wayland, might be worth exploring. My cpu is an engineering sample laptop intel i9 11th gen on chinese mobo. It is not the most stable thing in the world, might also play a role.

EDIT3: It usualy works fine after system restart/reboot if I don't play any audio too early.

[wwmm]

@Digitalone1 did you notice any problem while using the compressor? I still can't see any problem with it on my computer. At least with the master branch package.

[Digitalone1]

@Digitalone1 did you notice any problem while using the compressor? I still can't see any problem with it on my computer. At least with the master branch package.

No issues, but I think there should be something related to CPU optimizations done in the latest release.

• Implemented SIMD-optimized curve and gain calculation functions for compressors which allow to lower the CPU consumption by compressor plugins.
• More AVX-512 optimized functions added to the low-level DSP code.
• Additional SIMD-optimized functions added to DSP library.

Maybe it's better to report it to LSP dev.

[wwmm]

but I think there should be something related to CPU optimizations done in the latest release.

Hmm. But in this case I imagine that the plugin would throw some kind of warning.

[DarwinAwardWinner]

Weird. I reported above that installing easyeffects-git solved the problem, but the problem has now returned, even though I haven't reinstalled or updated any of the packages in question. It was definitely fixed for a little while though. This time I have no idea what changed to cause it to break again.

[ZerkerEOD]

@DarwinAwardWinner, that happened to me, I thought I was good then it just stopped working again and it's weird because sometimes it is the gate, other times it's the compressor that won't output sound.

[sadko4u]

Hi all! I've got feedback from user who has not working compressor. And it is the problem on computers which support AVX-512 instruction set. Yesterday I was able to find the reason and fix it. Here's the patch: https://github.com/lsp-plugins/lsp-dsp-lib/commit/2e5735aa3c84e6adab3a480875cf6acaf4298013

Sad but this function has passed unit tests... The 1.2.13 release of LSP Plugins is coming soon...

[sadko4u]

The 1.2.13 release is out! https://github.com/sadko4u/lsp-plugins/releases/tag/1.2.13

[ZerkerEOD]

@sadko4u - I wasn't expecting the maintainer of lsp-plugins to just out and fix the plugins. It looks like on Manjaro they are still on the 1.2.11 release and 1.2.12 was not released to us. Do you know on average how long Manjaro takes to pull it through? Even though I have the Arch repository pulling also, it doesn't show up just as an extra from the manjaro repo. No option for the git version either.

[sadko4u]

Seems it already has been updated in Arch Linux: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lsp-plugins/

[ZerkerEOD]

@sadko4u, yeah, I saw that. I just realised that the AUR is not the same packages as Arch repo. It looks like 1.2.12 is still in the testing phase on Manjaro: https://packages.manjaro.org/?query=lsp-plugins. I will look into seeing if I can reach out to someone to have them test the 1.2.13 release quicker to get it on the Manjaro side. I regret not going Arch and opting for Manjaro lol. I will know better for next time. Thanks for your hard work on lsp-plugins and I am happy to see that you are checking issues for other projects that use it to see if it could be related to your package. I am not sure if @wwmm reached out or not but it is great seeing this kind of collaboration!

@wwmm while I can't test the fix yet, it sounds like it has been patched should I close this out for now or would you like it to stay open for other Manjaro guys to find it until Manjaro releases the patch on their side?

[DarwinAwardWinner]

I was able to build and install lsp-plugins 1.2.13 on Manjaro from the Arch PKGBUILD without any issues, so if you don't want to wait, you can just do that. (I haven't had the chance to test whether it actually fixes things for me yet though.)

I haven't done a PKGBUILD before, so I would have to look it up.

[Digitalone1]

@ZerkerEOD Maybe you can install the Flatpak version.

@vchernin Is the new version of LSP available on Flatpak?

[ZerkerEOD]

@Digitalone1, is there a way to see what version dependency it is using when installed from Flatpak? I just removed the git version and installed the flatpak version but I don't see a way to view the version of lsp-plugins in use.

Edit, nevermind, looks like 1.2.10 still also.

[Digitalone1]

@ZerkerEOD I don't remember if the Flatpak version uses the LSP installed by the distro or one shipped in its bundle. If it's the system one, @vchernin could help adding the newest version, so these issues related to distro packages won't happen again.

[sadko4u]

is there a way to see what version dependency it is using when installed from Flatpak? I just removed the git version and installed the flatpak version but I don't see a way to view the version of lsp-plugins in use.

You can use 'About' item in the plugin's menu to view the version of package bundle and the version of plugin.

[wwmm]

You can use 'About' item in the plugin's menu to view the version of package bundle and the version of plugin.

Yes. Just make sure Native Plugin Window is enabled in EasyEffects experimental features section. It is in its preferences window. Otherwise only the custom gtk interface will be available.

[vchernin]

The flatpak build does not bundle lsp, or get it from the host system. We use a flatpak runtime extension, which is updated independently from the easyeffects flatpak build. Currently we use the 22.08 branch which has lsp 1.2.11.
