I have same erorrs. “Cannot draw meter without scale.” posted here about it. but not much help. :frowning: this was the Tx(dbfs) meter. All I got was " try another audio system". v2.22

Remember, the error about the meter is meaningless. This is not the error to focus on. It just happens to be recently printed in the log so everyone picks up on it!

I got the error and also get the Tx(dbfs) meter half drawn on the screen. no TX bar. and no movement when i speak into mic. A FULL REBOOT OF SYSTEM can bring everything back. so that right there is an audio setup issue. something isnt being handled right with PortAudio . ( I tried the other audio systems and I get audio clips or “gaps” at regualr intervals. like 1000mS . aweful :frowning: Only PortAudio sounds good enaulgh to be usable … until it dies and i need to reboot )
