We need one giant step backwards and tell us what you're doing. What's the job? Exactly. One driver is for MP3 export and the other is for FFMpeg format conversion. We won't know what you need until you tell us what's what. You should get the drivers and Audacity 1.3 from the same place. http://auda...

Audacity 1.2 is not supported under Mac-OS-X 10.6. Under certain conditions, it won't even launch. Download and install Audacity 1.3 from here and get the FFMpeg from the same place. http://audacityteam.org/download/ FFMpeg should come with its own installer. Double click on the package and it shoul...

This microphone takes 48v phantom power. Unplug and replug both ends of the mic cable -- or change the cable if you have more than one.

Crash Report would indicate that there is something wrong with the computer interfaces or bitstream. Are you going through a USB hub anywhere? Audio hates going through hubs. Home Runs or dedicated runs to the computer always. Exercise the connectors. Shut down the computer and unplug and replug all...

This one? http://store.griffintechnology.com/imic You're not using it like it was intended to be used. The Line-In is for a stereo CD, Cassette Player or music mixer. The other connection is for a "computer microphone" like this... http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PCHeadset.jpg The i...

If you mess something up in the encoder (iMic) the right channel is the one to take the hit. I, too, believe the Audacity version.

Many straight, plain sound systems won't go beyond 20KHz. Anything recorded at 44100 sample rate will die about there, like music CDs.
