SOLVED
Inadvertently, I had changed the playback device dropdown value from pulse to hdmi. When corrected, audio returned

Hi, I was using Audacity 2.0.5 with USB headphones to edit some files when the audio output ceased. I tried changing to the built-in speakers, no joy there. Neither did rebooting help. I then uninstalled Audacity and installed 2.1.2 using Ubuntu Software Center. This didn't help either. Thinking tha...

Hi,

The recordings have way too much background noise but the recording level slider is maxed out and not moveable (tho the ouput volume slider does work). The recording setting is mono,...

I've got this problem with 2 mp3 files. They are separated by a quite brief silence (about 1sec) which I would like to eliminate, so that the second file starts playing immediately after the first. Just to give some real life meaning to this, the two files are the 3rd and 4th movements of Beethoven'...
