Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion and reinstalled audacity I have found that I can no longer get the program to work. What happens now is that when I hit the record button I get a loud screeching tone that is constant and won’t go away. It renders the program totally useless. I have deleted and reinstalled from the web site 3 times and got the same result. I believe the install is being done correctly. Please advise, I’d really like to keep using this program.
I found the .cfg file and reset it according to the instructions. There was no change. I then deleted the entire audacity folder in application support, still no change. When the program is opened and I hit record I still just get a loud high pitched tone making the program unusable. It does sound like there is some sort of setting that is creating a feedback loop, but I don’t know what that would be. This only started happening when I upgraded to mountain lion. It makes the program totally unusable.
I use it primarily to record programs that I listen to as live streaming. This would include Citrix meetings and conference call sessions. Many times these use media player or real time to play.
