I was able to successfully run easyeffects, then when I enabled echo_cancellation in the GUI, it crashed and now I cannot restart it (see log).

Try to reset its settings easyeffects -r.

[robcohen]

So after updating my NixOS installation a few times over the past week, I was able to launch easyeffects. However, when I added echo canceller again, easyeffects crashes.

When I run easyeffects again I get the same error:

(easyeffects:70685): easyeffects-DEBUG: 12:18:39.944: 	pipe_manager.cpp:1207	alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo port 61 is connected to ee_soe_echo_canceller port 128

fish: Job 1, 'G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=easyeffects ea…' terminated by signal SIGKILL (Forced quit)

when I try to reset the setting with -r I get

fish: Job 1, 'easyeffects -r' terminated by signal SIGKILL (Forced quit)

Any ideas on what I can do to fix it? Can I manually remove the echo cancel effect?

Any ideas on what I can do to fix it? Can I manually remove the echo cancel effect?

One way would be to reset the keys in dconf-editor But I wonder why the echo canceller is crashing on your system. Since we moved from the rubberband library to soundtouch I haven't seen anyone reporting crashes in this plugin.

[robcohen]

What I find odd is that there aren't any errors. Is there another log or verbosity option I can use to get more info?

[wwmm]

Is there another log or verbosity option I can use to get more info?

No. There isn't a more verbose mode. And it probably would not help in a SIGKILL case. And talking about it I wonder what is sending the SIGKILL signal to EasyEffects in your system. IT doesn't seem like an usual crash. EasyEffects is being killed by something.

[robcohen]

perhaps I should run it in a debugger of some kind, or system call tracer?

If you are familiar with gdb it is probably going to help to run it inside gdb and executing in its prompt the command bt to see where the crash is happening.

[robcohen]

Ok, I will do that later this week and update you.
