I now use debian 12.7 with audacity 3.5.1. Why does audacity record everything much louder than with ubuntu 23.10, including background noise? (lemmy.ml)

this is odd because it didn't happen with ubuntu 23.10.

If I play my acoustic guitar and record it, output file sounds like an electric guitar, which never happened with ubuntu.

I'm also recording unwanted background noise, but now it's much louder than with ubuntu.

how come?

Sounds like the gain is way different on your input.

Too high will cause increased levels of distortion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
