Please keep in mind that you will need to reload NoiseTorch for these changes to apply. ## Troubleshooting -Unfortunately, sometimes TorchNoise may display a "Working..." screen forever when loading the virtual microphone. This is usually due to PulseAudio crashing. If that happens, close NoiseTorch and try again, that usually works.

If you have a different problem with NoiseTorch, you can find a log file in `/tmp/noisetorch.log`. Please make sure to attach this when reporting an issue.
