Microsoft WAV files are not open-ended. They have a filesize limit of 4GB or in some cases only 2GB. When the size limit is reached, the show will become unstable or unpredictable. In some cases, it will just reset to beginning at where ever in the show the limit was reached. Audacity Projects have ...

Skype loves to brutally take over sound services on the computer running it. If you like to leave Skype running in the background, you may be using Skype's Noise Suppression,...

Instead of just letting Audacity do its thing, force it to Save (or Export) a file to your desktop. That and just for testing, call the file something super simple with no punctuations marks.
