After reloading MDA package, the plugins is starting to work again, but parameters setting remains weird. setting -2.7 lead to -3. +/- buttons acts also strangely.

[Digitalone1]

Which is your country and what locale is set on your system? EasyEffects widgets format follows the system locale, so maybe you have to write the numbers with comma as decimal separator.

[Neo595]

France / French . or , makes no difference.

[Digitalone1]

France / French . or , makes no difference.

How is set the locale on your system?

Post the output of locale.

In example, mine is

LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

For more about setting locale correctly, follow this.

[Neo595]

LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=fr_FR LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL=

It seems OK.

Please post the debug log as reported here.

And the output of locale -a.

[wwmm]

Please post the debug log as reported here.

That may help. I also suggest you try to change the plugin parameters while getting the logs. This way we will see if errors are happening when changing them.

[Neo595]

No log when I'm changing the parameters. hier, when I applied "reset", the volume level moves from -3.0 to 0 without any action. Reload the preset restores a correct state. Page Up/Dn allows to add/substract 1db from "volume"

Initial state after reset

click on "+" parameter volume

click again on "+" (click on "-" does nothing)

Enter -2.7 then press return

[wwmm]

when I applied "reset", the volume level moves from -3.0 to 0 without any action.

Strange. When I click in this plugin reset button the value goes from -3.0 to -3.1 that is the default value. It does not go to zero.

[wwmm]

So far I have not been able to reproduce this problem. I tried with LC_NUMERIC = en_US.UTF-8 and LC_NUMERIC = pt_BR.UTF-8 and even with the change from . to , in the decimals things are fine. So I am not sure locale is the cause of the problem thins time.

[Neo595]

It's not systematic, but after reset applied, the same return to 0 scheme applies to the "output" box, from -6 to 0 by 0.1dB increment. It can be reproduced also on "link" box initial value -9.1dB

• => -8.9dB
• => -7.9dB Loosing focus : -7.0dB
• => -6.9dB Loosing focus : -6.0dB If you keep the focus, the sequence (+ button) is : -9.1 , -8.9 , -7.9 , -6.9 , -5.9, -4.9 , -3.9, -2.9, -1.9, -0.9, 0 , 0 Then here, the reset is no more working : starting from -9,1 the incrementing to 0

If you release the focus of the box, the value is rounded.

initial value -9.1dB

• => nothing loosing focus => -9.0dB
• => -9.1dB loosing focus => -9.0dB

[Digitalone1]

I think the format is not the French locale, even if you have set it in your system.

Maybe you have the French locale set without having it generated.

If you see the locale documentation on Arch wiki, the formats you want have to be decommented from a file, then generated and at last you set one of them.

It seems you have only set the French locale without generating it.

If this is the issue, I wonder why it happens on Ubuntu which has to provide the correct locale settings after the installation stage. These sort of problems are more frequent on Arch. Maybe you miss or uninstalled some language pack from Ubuntu repository?

Edit: see also Ubuntu locale documentation, it mentions about language packs to install separately.

[Neo595]

Opening limiter plugins, I can observe again strange behavior when clicking in + or - buttons. Example : Stereo link : initial value 100% "-" => 99.99% Put the focus on Threshold, stereo link moves to 99% starting at 100% "-" => 99,99%, "-" => 98.99% => 97.99% (keeping the focus) after losing focus, rounded to XX.00%

[Neo595]

Further findings Opening spectrum windows Focus on "line width"

Then click on "+" => 3.1 click on "+"=> no change click on "-" => 2.9 click on "-"=>1.9 click on "-"=>0.9 click on "-"=>0.1 click on "-"=> no change click on "+"=> 0.2/0.3/0.4 click on "+"=>0.2 click on "+"=> no change

Did you read my last post?

This probably can be closed.
