Audacity Forum

Hi Gale, I just wanted to personally thank you for all your replies. Unfortunately I have not figured out what is causing my issue and have to give up. I know this is a forum strictly for Audacity so thanks for all your help. Dave. Follow up! Well, after monkeying around for what seemed like forever...

So I uninstalled audacity, put it back on and STILL I have the same problem! This has to be one of the most irritating experiences I have dealt with!!!! Every time I "fix" the problem with my windows trouble shooter, it comes right back! What is taking control of my mic's volume?! I did the sfc scan...

Hey Gale, I feel like I should be paying you. Anyway, I did what you suggested and it came up bad news.. file corruption. So, (I guess) until I get a new laptop I just have to deal with it. I recorded today... the first time the slider went back (ugh!) second try it stayed. Again, hit or miss. This ...

Yes, I ran the trouble shooter. It still slides though. I have to cold boot it and watch it. It's kind of hit or miss. I can set the recording level but once the trouble shooter is closed it seems to go back to it's old tricks. I have a theory that it (audacity) became corrupted? I'm going to remove...

Wow Gale, once again, thank you! I did what you said and it seems to be working (for now). As a less-than tech savvy guy, I appreciate your help. Hopefully when I get a new lap-top I won't have to deal with anymore issues like this. Thanks again to you and all on this site. I'm sure I'll be back but...

Hey Gale, thanks for replying. Yes, this is the meteor mic. Everything was going good until now. I don't have any other open apps going when I record and I don't use skype. It just started doing this on its own and its bugging the heck out of me. (Thanks for the tip on cold booting by the way, works...

None of that is working for me. Is it because I have windows 10? This is a recent problem and it is driving me crazy and setting me back! The mic level just keeps going back down to zero.
Thank you.

First and foremost, thanks to all who have helped me on this forum. Everyone has been helpful, nice and not snarky. When I am recording, my mic level (little slider) keeps going down to zero. I have to keep moving it to the center (at 50) and hold it there. It's never done that before. Any suggestio...

Thanks Gale. I did the "cold boot" and it worked. My sincere thanks. I guess I'll have to do that every time I need to record but hey, I guess it's worth it.
Dave.

Hello, I have been here before but am still having problems. I am simply trying to record my voice but when I play it back it sounds like a record/CD skipping. There are "jumps" in the track and I cannot figure it out. I am not trying to add music in the background or anything fancy, just my voice. ...
