Well, whaddya know. Audacity just decided it liked my audio interface again. I don't know how or why, but it's recording normally now. I don't know what happened. I re-read a post from last month from someone with the same issue as mine, and the suggested fix was to check the sample rate in Windows ...

Thanks for the link. I'll review the guide, but to be honest at this point, though it's likely to have good general info I'm not very encouraged it will have the answer to this problem. Its onset just seems to be a mystery. In October, everything was working fine. Just a few months later, all of thi...

Hello, all. I’m returning again for help on an issue I first wrote about back in February. Since then, I’ve noted a number of other Audacity users reporting more or less the same problem, but the solutions suggested to them are not working in my case. The problem I am having is are actually two: low...

Thanks. Unfortunately changing the project rate likewise made no difference. I wish I can figure out what might have happened between October, when all was working well, and January, when this issue started. I'm on the one hand starting to wonder if the problem is in the interface, and on the other ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried again with no other apps or programs open and internet disconnected, but the result was the same. I'll try increasing buffer size over 100 milliseconds next and see what happens. If there's still no improvement I'll upgrade to 2.3.3 in case that'll make a differenc...

1.wav 1.wav 2.wav 1.wav Hi. Since early 2016 I have been happily using Audacity 2.1.2 on an HP Envy laptop running windows 10. My audio hardware had been 2 Samson dynamic mics (Shure SM58 knockoffs) for stereo recording with an Alesis io2 interface. It’s a cheap and rudimentary setup but it’s serve...

Thanks much for the suggestions. I tried turning off the enhancements and it worked; the recorded sound is much more life-like. There's a down-side, though-- there is now a ferocious amount of background hiss on the raw tracks. I know some hiss is a fact of recording life, but this level is much, mu...

I’m not sure where to post this question, so I’m trying here for starters. I wonder if anyone knows of any adjustments that can be made in Audacity to improve how it works with different standard-issue soundcards in laptops. Until this past August I was using Audacity on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop ...
