Hum... Strange. The flatpak from Flathub has RNNoise enabled. On Fedora it is known that the Flatpak from their custom repository does not have everything that the Flatpak package we provide on Flathub has. But if your package came from Flathub it should have everything enabled.

Something I've noticed is that you do not have the most recent release.

Okay, I'm not sure what exactly happened, but turning my computer off last night, I woke up today to find that Noise Reduction is available and works for me. I won't close just yet in case anything else happens, but I guess problem solved?

Probably. Maybe the package was updated to the latest version (7.2.3)

I ran into (what I think is) the same problem, and am leaving this "fix" here.

For those who run into this, what I had done was install the Ubuntu 24.04 version first (7.1.6). After seeing the message that the Deep Noise Remover would not work, and that I should install the Flatpak version, I did exactly that. I closed the Easy Effects software, removed the package via apt (using Discover), and then installed the Flathub version (which is a newer version).

I then re-opened the software and found that it still couldn't load the DeepFilterNet. What's going on? I decided to come check GitHub to see if it was a known issue, and found this very issue. I checked the installed software version from the menu and sure enough, it still showed 7.1.6. I closed the program, and reopened it. Same thing.

On a hunch, I decided to check with "ps -aux | grep easy", I found "/usr/bin/easyeffects --gapplication-service" was still running, with no indication to the user that it was doing so. One pkill later, and relaunching the application now shows version 7.2.3, and allows me to select the Deep Noise Remover plugin successfully.

I hope this helps.

Hi, thanks @jpreston84 I bump on the same exact issue. Maybe there is something to do upstream (o/ maintainers) to prevent this confusing situation ?

It is a tough problem to handle. This kind of thing also happens to all system services. They usually are not restarted after a system update.
