This is pre-release episode of The Audacity Channel podcast. Audacity 3.2.1 Bug Fixes and Minor Improvements.Here's the link I mentioned for more information: Long story short, this has been resolved and starting with version 3.2.1 Audacity for Mac locates and installs the correct ffmpeg file. The temporary fix was to download an x_86 version of Audacity 3.2.0 that would recognize the version of ffmpeg previously installed. When 3.2.0 came out it had an issue with the previous ffmpeg libraries for M1 and M2 Mac users. The fix is in the ffmpeg library for MacOS running on an M1 or M2 processor. Step 5: Now, we need to go to the appropriate folder that contains FFmpeg.Most of us are already aware that Audacity version 3.2.0 has been released but did you know that version 3.2.1 just came out? There wasn't much fanfare around its release because it's a patch release, but at least one of the fixes in this release is significant if you use Audacity on an M1 or M2 Mac like I do. Step 4: But, again if a message saying ” Locate FFmpeg ” appears, it means that we need to locate the “ avformat-55.dll“.To do so, click on Browse to locate the folder. NOTE: Most of the time FFmpeg library will be installed in the correct location only. Step 3: If a Success notice appears indicating that Audacity has now automatically detected valid FFmpeg libraries and asks you to identify them manually, Click on NO. Step 1: Open Audacity, click on Edit > Preferences , or simply Click Cltr+P. This is done by following the steps given below. Audacity will now ask you to configure Preferences to locate the FFmpeg library. This means that you have installed FFmpeg when Audacity is Open or you have installed it to a non-default location ( Directory) in your system. Sometimes you may still get the same error, even after installing the FFmpeg library. Step 14: Audacity can now open/import and edit large-range audio formats without any problem. Step 13: Finally, Click on Finish to complete the setup. Step 11: Now, make sure the installer will install the required files to “ C:\Program Files\FFmpeg for Audacity ”, and click on Next.
