SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start kmix 2. kquitapp5 kmix OBSERVED RESULT segmentation fault EXPECTED RESULT quits normally SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73 Qt Version: 5.15.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION it seems the app crashes at MixerToolBox::deinitMixer(); in KMixWindow::~KMixWindow()
git bisect points to 8bcf9255d00a28b6abad13023fa2703c78db371a - but it needs 4b0c2e60c70d8ebae87321e4f9ddd8b3876ace03 to get kmix compiled
reverting this code fixes the crash - char devnum[64]; - snprintf(devnum, sizeof(devnum), "%lu", (unsigned long) dev.index); - ca_context_change_device(s_ccontext, devnum); + const QByteArray devnum = QByteArray::number(dev.index); + ca_context_change_device(s_ccontext, devnum.constData());

seems e20ad13fa703aaba34e23502a912c0c127b0d3d1 is responsible as reverting 8bcf9255d00a28b6abad13023fa2703c78db371a doesn't fix the crash. e20ad13fa703aaba34e23502a912c0c127b0d3d1 + 4b0c2e60c70d8ebae87321e4f9ddd8b3876ace03 to be correct
verified, reverting e20ad13fa703aaba34e23502a912c0c127b0d3d1 + 4b0c2e60c70d8ebae87321e4f9ddd8b3876ace03 fixes the crash
@Jim Jones: many thanks for investigating with bisection, do you have a backtrace?
no, gdb doesn't show anything meaningful. I guess it's because of the self implemented QtPaMainLoop which seems to miss something/does something wrong

Mixer: Delay the deletion of the backend The immediate deletion caused a crash with PulseAudio and the replacement Qt mainloop.

The previous commit fixes the problem for me, although I'm not sure of the root cause. If you can compile from source or apply the patch, please test and reopen the bug if the segfault still happens.

Any reason the fix wasn't pushed to 20.08?
For your information I still have the bug despite kmix 20.08.2-2 version. I use archlinux, I have 2 soundcards installed on my system : - sound card from the motherboard gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L : Realtek ALC888 - Yamaha Corporation YMF-744B [DS-1S Audio Controller] (rev 02) Not sure if it's the same bug, here is my original bug report from august 2020 about kmixctrl component : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425686 at each startup I see this error on dmesg : kmixctrl[766]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000000000 sp 00007fff8c7d4418 error 14 in kmixctrl[5617ae3ba000+2000] despite the segfault kmix is still running fine on background
Hello, with the new version kmix 20.08.2-2 it is ok the bug is gone, thanks
with kmix 20.08.3-1 the bug is back again.
I confirm that the bug is back again with kmix 20.08.3-1
