Well, Quicktime only plays it into one side of the headphone Then by extension, you don't have mono sound files and that changes what we tell you. you probably have stereo sound files with sound only on one side. Open one of the files in Audacity. Do you get a normal stereo presentation with blue w...

Self Recording is not a guaranteed service. Earlier Windows just presented all the services and devices and let you straighten them out. Self Recording was one of the services/devices. The more modern Windows simplified the system and some computers have no self-recording at all and need extra softw...

If the computer doesn't support either of those, then you're in the market for an interface device. The unit also has Bro...

Probably not, but if you want to take a shot at it, Effect > Noise Removal. It works in two steps. Drag-select a portion of buzz by itself. No voices. Run the tool and Get Profile. Select some of the actual show, run the tool again and apply it. Audacity will try to remove whatever you captured in t...
