Which libshout do you have installed? Is it one of 2.4.2 or 2.4.3?
Than you might suffer:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1833225

Libshout is returning: SHOUTERR_RETRY
Which is issued here:
https://github.com/xiph/Icecast-libshout/search?q=SHOUTERR_RETRY

The original Bionic package 2.4.1-2build1 should work though.
Maybe to groovy package also works 2.4.4-1:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/libshout3

[Ritchey Mulhollem (rthawkcom2)]

libshout.so.3 -> libshout.so.3.2.0

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

What is the output of:

apt list libshout3

[Ritchey Mulhollem (rthawkcom2)]

libshout3/focal,now 2.4.3-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libshout3/focal 2.4.3-1 i386

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

2.4.3-1 is the buggy libshout version.

Please upgrade to Mixxx 2.2.4 which statically links to libshout 2.4.1.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mixxx/mixxx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mixxx

please report if this solves the issue.

[Ritchey Mulhollem (rthawkcom2)]

Confirmed functional. Great job everyone!!
