FLAC recording not working on macOS
Bug Description
When FLAC output file format is selected in Preferences > Recording pressing Options > Record Mix produces an error window: Failed to apply the selected settings. Changing Bit depth or Compression level has no effect on the issue.
Recording in other formats (apart from HE-AAC and HE-AACv2) works fine.
Version
2.3.3, 2.4-alpha-1299-gbc6ab43dc9
OS
macOS Monterey
Maybe the log contains some useful information.
Please start Mixxx with --developer argument and copy/paste here what is being printed:
- open preferences, go to Recording
- select Flac if it isn't already, Apply
- close preferences
- start Recording (Options menu, Rec toggle in GUI or Ctrl+R)
I can play Flac files without issue.
This is what I get when I try to start Flac recording:
debug [Main] Split time is: 4800
debug [Main] Recordings folder set to "/Users/user/Audio/Mixxx/Recordings"
debug [EngineSideChain 1] Error initializing Wave encoding. sf_open_virtual returned: File contains data in an unimplemented format.
debug [EngineSideChain 1] Setting record flag to: OFF
debug [Main] Recordings folder set to "/Users/user/Audio/Mixxx/Recordings"
An issue can be your soundcard preferences. The recording is using the same samplerate. What did you pick there?
@daschuer I use 44,1 kHz for both input and output on my all of my sound cards. Mixxx's sample rate is also set to 44100 Hz.
I have this error even if I set all input and output devices in Sound hardware preference pane to ---.
I have the same issue in Mixxx ver.2.4.0 also on Windows.
The same error window and the same log are given.
I check following,
- In 2.3.6, this doesn't happen.
- In 2.4.0, happens.

FLAC encoding is not enabled in our build environment. I will take a look how to fix that.
Here is a PR with a new build environment that should allow FALC and OGG recording
