They should be like what it’s seen usually, but sometimes, the buttons just get messed up (play button is at the top, mic options are at the bottom). Does this happen to you?
You still have not said what version of Audacity you are using (see the pink panel at the top of the page).
Perhaps this happens if you resize the window smaller then maximise it, instead of resizing it larger. I think this is known about. Doesn’t View > Toolbars > Reset Toolbars fix it?
By the way you don’t have any recording devices enabled in Windows so you won’t be able to record.
Actually this is a problem that we have seen before - but it is a “moonphase” problem
I.e. it occurs only very infrequently and so far we have been unable to pin down precise steps for reproducing this (which makes it almost impossibly hard to debug).
It’s happened to me about 20 times or so in the ten years I have been using and working on Audacity (QA and documentation) with that same stacked toolbar layout.
I’m not sure if we have listed this as a moonphase bug ever - do you recall Gale?
Yes it does - but it restores to default settings.
What I would love to see would be a handy way of storing my customized layout and restoring it by means of Audacity commands. (I achieve this right now by saving and restoring an audacity.cfg file with my custom settings.)
Of course my audacity.cfg reset restores not just Toolbar layout but also my Prefences settings amd preferred time format - so would a suggestion for a fuller save/restore be better than one just limited to Toolbar layout?
Hi, I’m experiencing this bug since at least 2.1.3, and I think I found a way to reproduce it.
It occurs to me when I try to record audio coming from another program, but only following one of these procedures:
Open Audacity in fullscreen
Press rec button
Minimize Audacity
Start playing audio in another program in fullscreen Keep the focus on the program for at least 5 seconds
Open Audacity
Or
Start playing audio in another program in fullscreen
Minimize program
Open Audacity in fullscreen
Press rec button
Minimize Audacity
Open program Keep the focus on the program for at least 5 seconds
Open Audacity
My version of Audacity is 2.2.0 (although it happened in other recent versions too), OS is Win10 on Asus with Realtek soundcard.
Hope this helps, if I’m in the wrong thread or something I apologize, I’m new here.
