cava 9.x does not react with sensitivity = 0
zpamaral opened this issue · comments
When/where was the bug introduced?
cava 0.9.x (cava 0.8.x works fine).
Describe the bug
cava 0.9.x compiles fine, but when it runs the bars do not animate. The bar graph just sits there showing the frequencies and a minimum line.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Compile cava 0.8.x and cava 0.9.x
- run either one with the same config file and Background Music 0.4.0
- cava 0.8.x will work as expected, whereas 0.9.x will not
- See error on image attached.
Expected behavior
See a sound representation as a frequency bar graph.
Screenshots
Attached below.
cava 0.9.1
cava 0.8.3
Desktop
- OS: macOS 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
- Version: 10.11.6
Terminal emulator
- Terminal.app (iTerm shows the same problem)
- 2.6.1
Additional context
I will be delighted to elaborate on additional pertinent information if requested. Thank you.
can't reproduce, there might have been an issue in cava 0.9.0 but it should be fixed now.
what is the output of cava -v
Hello,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
The output for the cava version that works well is cava 0.8.3 and the output for the one that does not work is cava 0.9.1. However, I tested for the whole 0.8.x series and all versions work, and tested both 0.9.x versions and they do not work.
On a different computer running macOS 12.6.8, the cava 0.9.1 runs without issues.
On both computers and for all the mentioned versions of cava, compiling is never an issue (even with OpenGL support).
Thank you.

Boy, n.:
A noise with dirt on it.
does it work to capture audio from the mic? just set source to auto
Hello,
When the source is set to auto, cava 0.8.3 works as expected (I can talk and watch the sonogram) but cava 0.9.1 does not.
Thank you.

If marriage is outlawed, only outlaws will have inlaws.
Good, that rules out background music at least. Is "method" set explicitly to portaudio in both cases? (Just try to remove the ; before that config option)
Yes, it is. The semicolons were removed thus:
method = portaudio
source = "Background Music"
and for the mic test I did:
method = portaudio
source = auto
Thank you.

so it's something about the sensitivity that breaks it.
do you have any settings there? can you just dump your entire config here?
Hello,
Yes, I have sensitivity = 0 .
Here it goes:

; mode = normal
# Accepts only non-negative values.
; framerate = 60
# 'autosens' will attempt to decrease sensitivity if the bars peak. 1 = on, 0 = off
# new as of 0.6.0 autosens of low values (dynamic range)
# 'overshoot' allows bars to overshoot (in % of terminal height) without initiating autosens. DEPRECATED as of 0.6.0
autosens = 1
; overshoot = 0
# Manual sensitivity in %. If autosens is enabled, this will only be the initial value.
# 200 means double height. Accepts only non-negative values.

# sdl_glsl have these default values, they are only used to calulate max number of bars.
; bar_width = 1
; bar_spacing = 0
# Lower and higher cutoff frequencies for lowest and highest bars
# the bandwidth of the visualizer.
# Note: there is a minimum total bandwidth of 43Mhz x number of bars.
# Cava will automatically increase the higher cutoff if a too low band is specified.

[input]
# Audio capturing method. Possible methods are: 'pulse', 'alsa', 'fifo', 'sndio' or 'shmem'
# Defaults to 'pulse', 'pipewire', 'alsa' or 'fifo', in that order, dependent on what support cava was built with.
# On windows this is automatic and no input settings are needed.
#
# All input methods uses the same config variable 'source'
# to define where it should get the audio.
#
# For pulseaudio and pipewire 'source' will be the source. Default: 'auto', which uses the monitor source of the default sink
# (all pulseaudio sinks(outputs) have 'monitor' sources(inputs) associated with them).
#
# For piepwire 'source' will be the object name or object.serial of the device to capture from.
# Both input and output devices are supported.
#
# For alsa 'source' will be the capture device.
# For fifo 'source' will be the path to fifo-file.
# For shmem 'source' will be /squeezelite-AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF where 'AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' will be squeezelite's MAC address

# Output method. Can be 'ncurses', 'noncurses', 'raw', 'noritake', 'sdl'

# 'noncurses' uses a custom framebuffer technique and prints only changes

# 'raw' is an 8 or 16 bit (configurable via the 'bit_format' option) data
# stream of the bar heights that can be used to send to other applications.
# 'raw' defaults to 200 bars, which can be adjusted in the 'bars' option above.
#
# 'noritake' outputs a bitmap in the format expected by a Noritake VFD display
# in graphic mode. It only support the 3000 series graphical VFDs for now.

Hello,
Fixed it by setting
; sensitivity = 0

Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans; it's lovely to be silly at the right moment.

great to hear it worked out!
i should probably make a guard against setting sensitivity = 0 does not really make any sense. Just accidentally worked before.
