Re: Audacity killed Skype

Oh dear: another variable!

Did I have my EyeTV USB tuner or an USB copy-protection dongle connected? If, when? There are endless combinations.

(To the Audacity team: for half a living I make "parametric objects" for an architectural 3D CAD program, so I can appreciate these issues!)

Re: Audacity killed Skype

And just to report that during the last day or so, the reported anomaly has not reappeared. Now, next I guess I have to digitize David Bowie's "Hunky Dory"! Thanks for everyone for bearing wth me! (Or should I say "baring with me", which seems to be a fav among native English speakers...) Maybe one ...

Re: Audacity killed Skype

Rigghhtt! [The Twilight Zone theme]Wuddayaknow!|/The Twilight Zone theme] Tonight (GMT +2, no New Moon) no problems with Skype after using Audacity! The only new config is "play-through". Earlier I had phono/RCA from the turntable to the amp, now earphone-out/RCA from the MacBook to it. No restartin...

Re: Audacity killed Skype

QT Pro was not that expensive. No, but it's not unusual for that fee to be far greater than the total budget of some of the posters. Touché! I hardly think twice if I need software costing less than 200 or 300 € when it is for business and at most twice if it is less than 2000 €. When for something...

Re: Audacity killed Skype

So are you saying that it is a USB turntable that you were recording from? (you've not actually used those words) One of the Mac guys will be able to talk you through the settings, but it will help a lot if you can be a bit more talkative about details. We love details. Too much information is bett...

Re: Audacity killed Skype

If you paid the big bucks for QuickTime Pro, then you and I can both record video or audio (or both) using that. Audacity is irrelevant. I want to talk you out of trying to use Skype and anything else at the same time. Our standing joke is Skype Does Not Play Well With Others. It resets sound syste...

Re: Audacity killed Skype

Lenco turntable A USB turntable? If so, the quickest way to get back to normal would be to unplug the USB and restart your computer. Did that. No change. If it's a conventional (non-USB) turntable, then I you must have switched the recording input from the "Built-In Microphone Internal Microphone" ...

Re: Audacity killed Skype

That makes a change - it's usually Skype that kills Audacity. I'll move this to the Audacity 1.3.x part of the forum (you posted in the 1.2.x forum) I doubt that you will need to use TimeMachine to fix this. All that has happened is that your default recording source has switched from being you usu...

Audacity killed Skype

After my first use of Audacity today, I can no longer use Skype. I hear what they say, but they can't hear me. Sure, I can restore everything before with TimeMachine and jockey to have important things after, but this is totally stupid. Have to buy a replacement - that is not a problem, but the wast...
