User Reviews

  • When I run the Windows version it kills all of my audio outputs until I reboot. When I run in a Debian VM it spits a lot of weird error messages and has a hard time connecting to / keeping connected to my mic.
  • Awesome. A project for all o.s. (even for my Linux) that works like a charm and even let backup configuration.
  • Hi Can anyone please help me. at one point the Butt was working perfectly fine Now I keep getting an error message that comes up. Saying error while parsing config. lllegal value (-1) for num _of _ srv Butt is going to close now , I have tried to uninstall the program but the error message is not going away any suggestions would appreciate your assistance.
  • Good product.
  • I have used butt on a Macbook Air and really liked it but I've never been able to get it to compile on my Ubuntu/Linux machine. My last try failed with a make problem with libcrypto - this is with version 0.1.20. I have Pop-OS 20.04 which is Ubuntu from System 76 and no luck compiling. I certainly rate the program highly and wish I could find a solution -- the Apple version comes as a DMG package and there are no install problems at all. -Daniel - thanks for the helpful response. I'll follow up and let you know when I've got it working.

    Hello tohasu, a missing libcrypto most likely means you have not installed openssl. Please install the libssl-dev packet. If you are still having issues, please have a look at the manual: http://danielnoethen.de/butt/manual.html#_install If it still fails, write me a mail. Best, Daniel
