Easyeffects won't start

It worked fine until I tried to get better sound from my mic, it crashed and never opened again.

If I run G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=easyeffects easyeffects it gives me the following output:

Any solution to this? Thanks in advance

Something seems to be up with speex-based effects: Easyeffects crashes when Echo Canceller is used · Issue #189481 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

So… As much as I understand there isn’t a solution to this problem yet… right?

Hey there, if you are still having this issue you can nuke your eassyeffects config with dconf editor
image

And then avoid speech-processor and echo-canceller

This is not exactly a proper fix but easyeffects won’t crash on startup.

Oh, did not know that. Thank you very much.
