Audacity Forum

Wow! I think that's worked! Been too busy for the last 10 days to do anything, but Steve I've just seen your last post, deleted audacity.cfg, left the playback device on default and the problem's gone. Brilliant, thanks so much! I just hope it will help to stop Audacity crashing on me as well ?!

What "project rate" are you using? (bottom left corner of the main Audacity window). The default is 44100.

Yes it's 44100.

I think we're talking at cross purposes here, I meant Audacity V. 2.1.1, not Mint! My version of Mint is 17.1. No, it's not a laptop; I have a pair of speakers plugged in with a jack connection. I've just checked in System Settings and found that Bluetooth doesn't appear to be enabled "No Bluetooth ...

No modifications to the hardware. The problem occurs whether or not I run ot...

Yes I have. I have a choice of HD-Audio generic HDMI 0(hw:0,3); HDA ATI SB: ALC662 rev1 Analogue (hw:1,0); HDMI; pulse and default. I've tried all of them and nothing works. The latency was set to 0 but I've changed that to 100 and it still doesn't work.

Thanks for your reply Steve. I've just tried playing with the latency settings, but it doesn't seem to change anything. Also tried all the playback options on the device toolbar, also to no avail. No jack; usually I record in WAV on a zoom H4N then import to Audacity from the SD Card, although to te...

Hi. I've been using Audacity for a few years on Windows and successfully did so on Linux Mint 17 for a few months. Then all of a sudden (I don't know what caused it) it started to malfunction. All files, whether old or new, imported audio formats or recorded directly with a mike, are full of clicks ...
